I feel that my ankle may be broken, because it is in excruciating pain, and very swollen. I flipped over out of a handstand and landed on it. Would i stil be able to apply light weight on it if it as broken?

I suffered back and neck pain for years. Tried everything. Was on total bedrest for months.Doctors told that I won't b normal ever and suggested spinal surgery for relief. I learned from painful exprnce that back and neck are not difficult to treat with exercises.

because my normal 25mg of methadone and one 1mg clonipincaused my to stop breathing. I woke up in the emergency room on a Narcan IV which was like the worst feeling Iever experienced. They said I could have died from this combination of what they prescribed me. Do I have a law suit?

The last couple months I have noticed when I wake up in the morning my fingers are swollen, my rings won't fit (or if i sleep with one on it leaves red marks then later in the day it barely stays on my finger) and my finger joints hurt. My sodium intake has not changed, I am not on any new medications and it only occurs in my fingers (never in my face, legs, feet or ankles). Anyone ever have a similar problem? What could be causing this?

I make sure to go to fall asleep early so that I can get a full 8 hours of sleep, I don't drink caffiene in the evening, I don't use sleeping pills (when I do, it's even harder to wake up), and I have 3 alarms, yet I can never wake up. I will get up and turn off my alarms / press the snooze button, but I can never remember doing it and it feels like I have no control over my body in the morning, like being able to force myself out of bed and in the shower. I don't know what else to do, any advice on how I can wake up in the morning?

This hasn't been a problem in the past, even when I only got a few hours of sleep, but it has been happening for almost a month now. I'm not just getting 8 hours of sleep, I'm getting 10 - 12 and missing work.

Before, I thought I pulled my adductor muscles, but now I think I pulled my hip flexor. I was skating a week and a half ago. It felt pretty good a week ago so I took a little too much advil and skated. I did fine but when I got in the car to go home, it was worse then it was before. It still is lingering and its not as bad. I can run and walk perfectly. I can skate switch fine, which means I use opposite feet to perform the same movements. I need to go back into my sport because I am in the process of going professional. What can I do and in what period of time can I heal this?

I just had a noce bleed. It was realllly bad. I dont get them that often. i rubbed my nose really lightly and all of a sudden blood was gushing out, not just a little bit of a dab here and there. if i took the tissue away from my nose it would run down my face. (Sorry to be so graphic) at the end of it i blew my nose cause i felt like it was clogged and a big chiunk of blood came out. is that normal? it was like a big blood blob all formed together. and after igot that out the bleeding stopped. is that normal?

i broke my finger on september 9th last year the bone hasnt healed yet and i know it hasnt because the top part of my finger jiggles when i clap my hands

and sometimes when i irritate the finger too much by trying to bend it to look like a normal finger (it droops down) or hitting it on something i can feel the bone moving up against i think a nerve it doesnt hurt its just really annoying like nails on a chalkboard. and it doesnt stop when i leave my finger alone it stays like that for a day or so

i irritated it a little the other day and now on the lower knuckle the one below the broken one theres a red spot i dont think its a bruise but i dont know what it is.

what do i do about this red spot and my finger not healing?

Do you think siting and watching TV while getting a Mri Scan is a good idea. The upright mri can scan patients up to 500lbs and scan children in their mothers lap without risky sedation and Drs say it finds 34% more pathology then a TUBE scanner a Near Zero patient rejection rate because of Claustrophobia or Anxiety Panic Attacks This what the scanner looks like http://tinyurl.com/9s5hu

Is there a way to make your pelvis go back into place without going to the chiropractor all the time? I have 4 bad discs in my lower back and my pelvis rotates outward and sometimes also tilts. It then pinches off nerves. The only relief is to go to the chiro. I've been doing this for 2 1/2 years. Isn't there a way to pop it back into place yourself? My chiro says no.
