A friend of mine recently broke her wrist and was told by her doctor and surgeon that the reason they would not fix it with a plate was because it would cause her to develop a 'frozen shoulder'. This does not seem right to me.

At 4am I was woken by THE WORST calf cramp I've ever had! I couldn't put any weight on that leg or even move it the slightest bit without it cramping again.

I have been able to walk today but with a limp, because my calf is still so tight and still feels like a rock, but not as bad as it was at 4am.

17 hours later - should it be completely gone? I rarely get cramps but I don't remember one ever lasting this long.

I was carrying on with a friend when I fell and twisted my knee. I cant fully straighten it or bend it. It is sore all of the time and it is really swolen and bruised. I cant put any weight on it without it hurting. Should I go to Hospital? I am always really busy and dont have time to go to hospital. Does anyone know what could be wrong, and how long it will take to heal? Thanks.

I feel stupid for posting this. I've broken my right arm distal ulna once. Severely. It was a compound fracture requiring surgery (I was 6). When I was 13 I broke my left arm (distal) and while I was getting my arm x-rayed they discovered a previous fracture on my left arm, more proximal than the one at the time, that apparently I had never noticed.

Two days ago I noticed a lump and pain on my left arm, towards the middle. I don't know where I hit it, or anything, but I assume it must have been on the bus I take in the mornings or something (I ride a crowded University bus). But now it's all black and blue and when i move my wrist or elbow it feels like there is a... pulling right there. And then my arm aches and radiates down into my hand.

Is it possible my arm is broken? I question my judgement since apparently I didn't notice once before. When I broke my arms last time it was near the wrist and it swelled and changed how I could move the wrist, so I noticed right away.

Help?

I haven't eaten anything apart from a single tin of soup in 6 days now.
I desperately need to know what I can use that is EFFECTIVE at relieving the pain of a mouthful of ulcers.
Don't bother suggesting Bonjela or similar because if you've ever suffered then you know things like that, actually hurt a single ulcer.
I have quite a few so it hurts immensely!

All I want to know is what I can use as an effective pain relief measure so that I can eat something!

Please help!

I tore up my knee skiing in February, I can walk on it again now, and will walk into surgery April 10, told me to bring my crutches along, because I won't be walking out, and will have multiple Dr. appts. as follow up before I can be released back to work, a lil feedback would be nice.

My neighbor, who is a 60 years-old-man told me that lack of sleep in puberty period will affect your health when you got older. And I've heard it somewhere else too. I just want to know is it true? And if it is, is there any research that support this? Thank you for your answers =)

I have joint pain in the knee and ankle of only my left leg. I'm only 19, but I'm guessing the pain is similar to arthritis? It just feels like inflammation... kind of throbby. And I don't know if it makes a difference, but my left shoe also wears out way quicker than my right one. Could anything be wrong?

On the day of the accident, I had kyphoplasty. The other options I was given didn't seem to be good at the time. I was in severe pain and was told this would give me instant relief. Well a year and a half later now, I still have severe pain. After researching kyphoplasty I found it is not indicated for patients with compression fractures that was the result of an accident. Does anyone know why this would have been done? Can anyone tell me what I can do to get relief from the agonizing pain. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The blood was really thick, and gooped up. (sorry!) And it is a little sore, it had never bled before this (except when I got it pierced, obviously) and I want to know if this is normal, or if there is something I can do to fix this. Its not alot of blood, but since it has never bled yet, this freaked me out a little, hehe, can anyone help me?
