My right index finger was jammed 6 weeks ago playing volleyball. It still hurts and I can not make a complete fist...when I bend it a lump pops up on my knuckle...moving my finger from side to side is painful, as well as bending it....since its been six weeks, should I even bother having it looked at...will this ever go away????

My 9 year old son just broke his arm 2 days ago.
He is wearing a splint for the next 3 weeks and we have to get x-rays weekly at the hospital until his arm is ready for a cast.

To the parents with experience: how can I make his (our) life easier? What are the tricks to use for showers, getting dressed,
and other daily routines?

I fell at home down stairs but did not sever the ACL, MCL, or PCL. I am taking injectios into the knee of chicken collegen to rebuild the shock absorbing qualities of the knee. Yet I lack strength in the joint to stand from a seated position and to run after my toddler daughter. I need to get this joint rehabed as quickly as possible since my wife is undergoing neck fusion surgery early in December. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yesterday I was playing football when my left pinkie collided with someone's shoulder. Immediately, I felt this throbbing pain that took an hour to go away. My finger swelled up quickly, and by the end of the night, all but the tip was and still is a purplish color. I cannot bend the finger fully, cannot make a fist, cannot straighten it completely out, it hurts a lot and is extremely swollen(despite me putting ice on it). I haven't had it looked at by a doctor yet. Does this sound like a fracture or a sprain? Is it worth getting it checked out by a doctor?

I am going to have both of my big toenails removed next week. I cant afford to take any time off of work. Will I be able to work the next day? I work at a job that requires standing and walking all day.

All of a sudden my hip and knee both hurt really bad when pressure is applied to them (walking running) and it is really bothering me. I dont wanna tell my parents because A) what if they dont believe me and B) They will definitely over react...my gym teacher used to be a sports injury doctor so i was thinking i would ask him to look at it quickly. Should I? How do I ask him? Where? and When? Thanks for helping me guys!
