General Health Care - February 2007

I had an accident 20 days back .A car hit me , I fell on my hips on the road with a big thud.I feel the car hit my head( not too sure )

.God I am experiencing lot of headache & head pressure. , dizziness , neck ache & lower back ache.

Is it serious , what meds do I take ? The doc. didn't ask for a head X-ray. Do I have a head/ brain injury.
I did not faint after the injury.

Please help

I don't know if I actually have shin splints or not, but whenever I get back from ballet mys shins hurt a lot and I can't seem to stretch them or anything and so I'm not sure if that's shin splints or something else. And I never dance straight on cement... also what do I do to treat them?

I went to dr cause my knees are bad and when they went out I fell on my foot hard. it was a orthopedic dr but all he did was feel my knee and said theropy, he didnt even look at my foot or any of the xrays. I wont go to theropy cause it hurts to even move my knees and at the hospital they said moving them (exercising) would cause more damage. I over heard the dr at the office as I was leaving tell his nurse not to schedule him so full cause he had things to do in evening (my app. was at end of day) knees getting worse but worse of all is my foot. I had xray at hospital about 1 month ago but showed no break. but now I can hardly put weight on it and very sharp pains in bottom when trying to walk. could there be a fracture that was not seen first time? every day it gets harder and harder to walk on foot. I know my knees are from the cartlidge but I am not sure what is wrong with my foot

so a co-worker of mine recently broke their leg. i assumed they would be not working for 6-8 weeks (we work at a restaurant as servers) but i'm told they won't be working again until june, 4 months later. this this make sense? does it really take tht long for a leg to heal?

I had spinal fusion surgery 12 days ago, L4, L5. I was up and walking within one day, and out of the hospital in less than two. I'm wearing a brace, and have some pain, but manageable. Walk about a mile a day, but that's about only activity I can do now. Can anyone share their experience on recovery time?

i broke a small bone in my hand and its in a hard cast...its been in the cast for about 3 weeks and i know that its normal to have some pain on and off in the area of the break as it heals...it seems as though the pain has gotten more frequent, however, this week, which also happened to be the weekend i had my menstrual cycle....since this sometimes causes bloating/swelling in the extremeties, is it possible that perhaps the extra pain in my hand is caused by swelling in the hand that is putting pressure on the break, or is the flaring up of pain normal, or am i just being paranoid?

it hurts ot breath, sleep and walk most of the time and is consistant. The reason i have not gone ot the hospital or doctor is the closest one is almost 45 minutes away and the clinic here is only open 2 days a week. I do not htink it is life threatening but i was wondering if anyone else has had this and could provide me with something i can do. I am not on any medication and everything else seems normal.

I'm taking a geology class so have become more aware of what I do and my bf and I are having a disagreement. I usually only take 10 min showers (my hair gets dry easy so I don't wash my hair every time) but he runs the water for about 5 mins so the whole room gets steamy, then he stays in the shower AT LEAST 20 minutes and says I must not clean myself well cuz I can't wash that quickly. I think it's just being wasteful, if you are a guy with no hair, why use 25 minutes of water?? I don't even know girls that do that

I just strained both my hamstrings during track practice. I did the usual things... warm-up, stretches.. when it came to the sprints, my thighs started to hurt.

i'm pretty sure i strained them.

I had a doc look at some spots on my back. If they were life threatening and really bad at this point in time would he have sent me to a dermatologist then, or just refer me to one and make me wait a month or 2.
