I was at a client's house yesterday and her 100lb dog jumped on the gate as I was closing it, causing it to swing open and smack my hand (the padded area between my thumb and my wrist) with all of the dog's weight on it. It punctured my skin (luckily I'm up to date on my tetenis shot) and it, almost immediately felt as if it was starting to bruise. When I got home an 1 1/2 hrs later, it was swollen and changing colors. I went to the Dr today to have it looked at and they took an xray of it. To my Dr's surprise, it wasn't broken (although it clearly looked like it was), but the bone was bruised so bad that it actually showed up in the xray! It's severely swollen and about 3-4 shades of blue/purple/black. She said that it could take up to a month to heal. Have any of you ever dealt with this 1st hand before and if so how long did it take to heal? Was my Dr telling me worse case senario or should I really be prepared for it to be a whole month before it's back to normal?

I was hurt at work. Went on workman's Comp, had 2 months off. My job wasn't able to meet the weight restriction on my dr. order. Wrist still not fully healed, only was better because of steroid shot, yet they tried to get me to come in and were mad at me because I didn't when it was at its worse. They started to ignore my calls once I was better not letting me come back to work, tried saying I never called them yet phone records would show they just ignored me. First day back at work I had to do a special route for my company not during work hours and told I would be paid for it, and never was paid for it on that weeks check. I keep hearing workers saying they wanted to get rid of me and should have but can't because it was a work injury. Wrist still hurts and I am afraid to ask for more time off because the steroid "quartizone" shot does eventually wear off and I still have bad pains that are hard to work with. They also canceled my workman's comp check early, assuming i was better.

Sometimes I will wake up like 2 hours later than usual on the week ends. You'd like to think that the more I sleep the more rested I'd become, right? But it seems like the more sleep I attain, the more drowsy I become when I wake up. Is there a reason for this? Physiologically speaking?

Occassionally I get a really bad cramp in one of my legs-only the calf-in the middle of the night and I cry sometimes. I thought it may be from dehydration since it used to only happen after a night of drunkeness, but it happened last night and I was completely hydrated.

When I woke up this morning, my right foot was aching so badly. It's like this throbbing pain between my big toe and the second toe. I wasn't wearing flip flops yesterday or anything that could have aggravated the area. When I looked at the bottom of my foot this morning (between the big toe and 2nd toe), the area was red, and I felt pain when I touched the area. Even with my foot elevated, and not touching the area, it still hurts. When I run my finger over the area, I can feel a slight hard bump that isn't raised enough to notice it unless you run your finger over it and apply a bit of pressure. What is this? I can hardly walk, because it hurts too badly.

I'm only sixteen, 5'3 and only 120 lbs. and I've already got veins on my ankles and legs. Can i do anything to prevent from getting more? And I know that there is surgery to get them removed, but is there a less drastic approach to making them go away?

What can you do if a dr. performs surgery and then lies about his findings? He tells you on several occasions that you have a strange growth that can not be explained. He does tell you it isn't cancer so not to worry. I later decide to get a second opinion and with that realize there was never a growth. But something that can easily be explained. What do you do?

Does anyone know of any tried-and-true methods to relieve sinus pressure?? I've got a horrid MIGRAINE that I've had since yesterday afternoon and, for the first time, I can't get rid of & it hurts sooo bad!! It's mostly sinus (in forehead & behind eyes) but feels like it may partially be tension too cause I have aching in my neck!! I've taken various different headache meds (excedrin tension headache, sudafed sinus headache [which usually works], etc), tried blowing my nose & tried this method of mine while sleeping that sorta presses on my eyes & forehead to relieve pressure but it's not working this time when it usually does!!! It's 4 am & I live with roommates so I can't go digging around for an ice pack or even a heating pad to help either cause I'd wake them up. (I don't even know WHERE we would keep a heating pad in the first place IF we even had one!)

Can someone help me????
