So, my friend and I was loading a solid wood door onto the top of her jeep and it slipped and landed on my thumb (smashed it bad). It was numb for about an hour. It's swollen (double it's normal size) and it's got a decent knot and bruise on it. Doesn't hurt as long as I don't move it (although my palm and wrist are killing me!) but if I move it, it hurts pretty bad.
Think it's broken??

So its about 2 at night here...
I didn't realize how late it was.
>.<
I have school tomorrow and I really need sleep to make it through the day.
(Or just to get out of bed)
How do I get up out of bed when i'm super tired and stay awake through the school day?

For a while, my heel has been hurting. Its been more sore. It fells like a muscle bruise, nothing that has to do with the bone. Everytime I run on it, it either hurts or feels sores.

I was wondering if it was serious? How could I get rid of it?

Hi, I'm a young man, 19 years old. I've been in sports since I was a kid. In high school I did various sports;golf, football and wrestling. Since then, I've had a lot of problems with my body. I have horrible chronic back pain. I can play video games but as soon as I stand up I can't stand straight for a while. When I run for a while, and stop I have to stretch my back so it feels better. And recently I was skateboarding, after 2 years of not doing the sport, my little brother got a skateboard and wanted to go to the skatepark. I went with, played around in the bowl and halfpipe, and even the funbox, but as soon as I did a simple ollie, still, I tweaked my hip. It hurts so much, i can't sit without it hurting, I have to sit it a akward position or my left hip will start to hurt. What did I do? Whats the cause of the problem. And how can i fix my lower back pain problem?

it has happened at least twice before when I wake up in the middle of the night and my wrist (but mostly my thumb) hurts so bad that I have to cry. The first night it happened I literally thought I had broke it but it was too late to wake up my mom so I just splinted it and went to bed. When I woke up it was fine. It just happened again last night. What could this be from?


Im serious the pain is excruciating, I cant stand to bend my writst or move my thumb when it happens.

It's especially bad when I'm in a back seat.
I know it helps to look at the road instead of reading, but is there something I can take that will help?

For quite a while I have had very occasional right side abdominal pain. I can go many months without a symptom, then, for a few days feel right sided pain.

The location is always the same - just above the beltline, a stabbing pain in a single spot that goes stab...stab...STAB... and so on. The episodes last only a bouple of minutes, then goes away, sometimes for hours, and sometimes for months.

I am 62 years old, in otherwise good health, 6' 195 lbs, and have no symptoms associated with this pain.

Yes, I've gone to the doctor (two PCP's and a neuro), and they agree that there is nothing at that location to cause this pain. One sent me to a neuro, thinking it may be referred pain from the spine, but the neuro agreed with the PCP's.. I have no back problems.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am on the waiting list to have a spinal cord stimulator implanted for chronic pain. I am really nervous and not sure what it will feel like, and is the operation to implant it horrendous, and is recovery quick?

I have had the trial for a week, and the pain relief was great, but it was uncomfortable - i dont know whether it is because, in the trial, the wire is left hanging out or your back, but when the proper one goes in it is embedded in the spine.

Can anyone tell me what to expect and what it will feel like? Are there any problems with everyday life? Help please.

For the past month maybe more I suffer from anxiety every night around the same time. I think its more than anxiety. I have been told that I have panic disorder, but lately what I experience is way more intense. So last night I was up allllll night long because everytime I would lay down and close my eyes I felt a shocking sensation in my chest on the left side. Then I would get a hot flash and it would scare me so I would sit up and try to go to sleep, the same thing would happen. I could feel this was starting to cause anxiety and my throat was starting to feel clogged. It could just all be in my head but Its been going on for too long with this anxiety crap. I didnt know a panic attack could last almost all day and night long. What is goin on with me? Oh yea, I dont have insurance right now either so please dont tell me to go to a doctors. THANKS

I had blood drawn for a standard blood test (cholesterol, etc.) last week and now i've got a silver-dollar sized yellowish bruise on the inside of my elbow where the draw was. I can't remember this happening before with previous blood tests or donations, but I may just not have noticed. Is this a normal thing, or should I be worried?
