General Health Care - July 2007

I crouched down one day and got back up real quick and felt this incredible pain for one second. I didnt think anything of it until I found out a few days later that I had this huge lump on the back of my knee which is hard as a rock. The front of my knee area is all swollen and I cant even walk right. I have to limp around bc it hurts too much when i try to stand on that leg. This has been going on for over a week. Do I need to see a doctor and what could my injury possibly be?
Any kind of help would be appreciated

What is it? It feels like my knee needs to pop but I can't do anything about it. And it's a little swollen. Hurts when I bent it and put weight on it. What is it that is making it hurt? and should I put ice on it or heat? THanks!

Is it better to leave a band aid on at night or off for cuts?

I broke a bone in my hand (boxer's fracture) and got a temporary cast put on in the ER to stabilize it...this was 4 days ago...it's a big oversized cast that covers half of my arm around and runs down to my elbow, with an ace bandage type wrap around it.

It's really itchy and annoying and I was just thinking, I'm seeing a hand specialist in the morning tomorrow, he'll probably take it off anyway to xray it and examine it, maybe I could just take it off tonight and wrap my fingers up so I can get some sleep? I don't know if the specialist would be angry or not, but I figured maybe he'd be happy because I will have taken it off for him and washed it so it doesn't smell or feel sticky or anything.

What do you think?

Should I just rest or make an appointment with my orthopedist. I was jumping rope today but had the replacements done 5 years ago when I was 18 and the other when I was 19. I feel a little bit fine when I walk, the problem is lifting my legs for example to walk up the stairs or get in or out of the car.

Thanks in advance

I have just started a month of chiropractic manipulation for my back and neck being out of alignment and its hurting. The doctor has given me a wheat back that provides periodic relief but I'm not sleeping and continually in pain. Any suggestions might help.

I also wanted to add - FREE. What motivated me to post this question was that I saw 'Sicko', Michael Moore's new movie last night. Although, he does go to the edge he made some great points.

I am wondering what would it take to get Healthcare equivalent to France or the UK here in the States?

It seems it would not be easy, but there has to be a glimmer of hope!

Thanks all.

It is a silver band with a small diamond. We tried the soap, got him to swim, checked with the gold smith shop for advice but still no solution in removing it.

Yesterday when I was goofing around w/ my brother he accidentally bashed my finger w/ his knee. And today me finger feels like it is sprained. I can move it but it just hurts.
Do I have to put it in a splint or will it heal up on it's own w/o one?

Really, why does sh*t smell bad? What makes it sometimes worse than other times? Is it different by person?
