I was driving down the highway to work this morning and I accidentally ran over my foot. I think I broke some bones in it. Should I suck it up or go to the doctor?

Hi I am from California and I hurt my knee this Nov. and my work sent me to a doctor and then they sent me to a ortho doctor in which took me off work due to some minor tears in the ACL and the workers comp nurse went behind my back to the Ortho doctor and got him to release me back to work without seeing me a second time. in fact it was my work who called me and said I was released (never saw any paper stating it) When I went back to work on the 6th day as I stepped down off the stairs of the bus my knee gave out and I fell to the dirt ground, now they think I did more damage the PT thinks I tore the madiscis(sorry for spelling) because of the knee cap clicking and popping, he said he never heard that before in my knee. So the first doctor I saw is going to order a new MRI. My question is do you think I should obtain an Attorney due to how my works workers comp is doing..I love my job and they treat me good but it is the workers comp people who are AH.

I have an addiction to the snooze button. I set 2 alarm clocks every morning to go off half an hour apart from each other in the hopes that if I don't wake up from the first alarm, the second will get me, but I end up hitting snooze on both and then eventually turning them off! This is getting irritating & i don't know what else to do. Its not from a lack of sleep either. Any ideas?

Okay, so two days before my menstration, I had small leg pains, like feeling like I had a knot in my right inner thigh, above my knee, then it led on to kind of sore, shooting pain on my outer right thigh. The pain was the same in both thighs, just more severe on the right. I just ended my menstration, and the shooting pains are very little to pretty much, gone, but I still feel like I have a knot in my right inner thigh, above my knee, and I feel like I overstretched my hamstrings on the right thigh, too. Should I be worried???

yes i did just ask this however i decided to be more specific.
where is the pain?
left arm-turn your left hand so your palm is facing towards the ceiling. starting at your wrist put down 3 fingers. with the third finger down, press. this is where it hurts. it feels as if it could be indented.
when does it hurt?
It hurts most where i move my wrist and type. however it is almost constant pain and it is sharp.
what does it look like?
normal. no swelling, no redness, no bruising. it is weird, i know.

i am 16 years old and have ruled out tendonitis as i have it in my knees and i know what it feels like. i haved tried wrapping it and icing it but neither helps. i am going to the doctor tomorrow so please dont tell me to.

Well, this may not be health related but I cannot think of anything else that it could be. Everytime I go through any of those detectors at stores an alarm goes off. Nomatter what I have on, it goes off. Never had any surgery in which something has gone inside of my body. It is strange. It does not go off when i go in, only upon my exit! What is the deal?

I rub my leg and there's a huge knot when I rub it it makes it worse and it goes away slowly in like 5-10 minutes and quicker if i put liniment on it. Is this normal? Alot of my friends get them to just not as painful.

Does anyone know what can cause this? I don't have any other symptoms. It comes suddenly and lasts for hours then it usually doesent reacurr for along time though.
Over the counter meds do not take the pain away either.

I started gettin knee pain when i was about 13 and it's been off and on pain ever since (i'm 17 now). Both knees have pain but usually they both dont hurt at the same time. It'll switch pain every week or so. It's mostly my right knee, and lately my right hip has been hurting some. It's usually not to bad of a pain though. I know when my aunt was my age she had to have some type of injection. It wasn't too serious. I'm thinkin it may be that and that its genetic. My parents said if it starts to bother my more they'll take me to a doctor. Anybody know what could cause this?

Even the latest James Bond film,Casino Royale has a scene where Bond try to administer CPR to his drowned female sidekick to revive her back to life but sadly failed.Why Hollywood has so many CPR scenes and usually put the female cast to play as a victim/patient and being revived by a male doctor/rescuer?
