My son was involved in two car accidents, one in March and another in September, resulting in neck and shoulder pain. An MRI confirmed syringomyelia, and he has an upcoming appointment with a Neurosurgeon. He is also scheduled to go to jail next Friday for a 4-year term. Will any additional trauma in jail aggravate his condition, and should we ask the court for a different sentencing, such as house arrest?

I have a semi-hard bump in the middle of my right palm approximately 1" below the joint where my ring finger meets. I noticed it about 2 months ago and it seems to have become slightly larger. I'm a 30-year-old male who spends a lot of time on the computer. I'm thinking it might be a tendon sheath cyst ganglion. It doesn't really hurt except for some occasional background pains. I believe this all began when I was putting up chicken wire and was opening cutters with one hand, which required me using my ring and pinky finger to spread open the handle. I felt a slight twinge in the spot where the bump is now. What should I do?
