On thursday afternoon I fell over funny on my ankle. On the way back from the GP's ironically. It was sore of course, but now I can not walk at all. I have to take a lot of pain killers just to sleep at night. There is a little bit of swelling but not much.

I have looked on the net but the symptoms of a fracture/sprain/twist are so vague and have simaler symptoms.

I don't want to waste anyones time but I cant walk and I am in a lot of pain.

So..do you think it's worth a trip to AnE or not?

Serious answers only please.

Is it based on the time of diagnosis or the time the condition was likely to have originated? For example, what if I take out health insurance and a week later I go to the doctor and get diagnosed with cancer? I didn't know about it beforehand but the insurance company says the lump must have taken months to develop? What's the outcome?

I cannot get an xray because I'm pregnant. I fell last night and injured my tailbone. I cannot lay on my back without support and even then, its excruciating to move. I can't bend over without feeling imense pain. On a more personal note, it's even painful to let out a fart. Do you think I've broken my tailbone?

I started to fall and reached out to catch myself on computer desk so I wouldn't fall onto my 2 year old son. But grabbed onto the corner and sliced my palm open. It actually took off a strip of skin with it. The cut is actually perfectly along my top crease in my palm. About 1 1/2 inches. Hard to keep shut since when I open my hand the cut opens too. Not sure if I need stitches or not. And I still ran into my son since the desk went threw my skin and didn't stop me. He's fine though. Any suggestions?

I bought a pot of chewable 60mg vitamin C tablets today.

It says only one a day, is this right? I though Vit C couldn't store itself - so how many a day should I really take?

I am a 20 year old male. If that info helps!

I think I have developed back pain that resulted from my right leg being a little bit smaller than my left leg. My pain often occurs at least 3-4 times a week, for a few hours on the days that it occurs, and it is in the lower/mid back areas, I would call it acute spikes of pain. This has been going on since about Mid-August this year.

My treatments that I have tried include: Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Lying Down in Bed, Heating pads, Ice Packs, and Resting.

These were working at first, but now as it seems that time has progressed, my back pain is getting worse, and hurting more, and it is often keeping me from doing regular every day activities, such as excercise.

Should I go see my doctor about it, and try to see what other treatment options are available? And what other treatments are available?

Personally, I think it often makes it more difficult.

I went to bed at 11:00 P.M. last night and got out of bed at 7:30 very normal for me except I was so tired that after being awake for 2 hours I had to go back to bed and sleep some more. I went back to bed and sleept for 2 more hours but then I was still very tired. I tried to stay away but again after another hour and half I had to go back to bed, and I slept some more!!! Now it is 2:15 P.M. and I feel great! But I am afraid that I won't sleep tonight. I wonder why I was so tired today?

Like, one minute I'd be totally normal, then suddenly I'd feel like I'm about to pass out or something. It's really scaring me.

Yes, I have passed out before so I know what it feels like.
