General Health Care - November 2007

I got hit on the bicep with a lacross ball. It made my entire arm numb (like a stinger) and I could barely lift my arm for almost a week. It even took the skin off my arm where it hit. It turned a portion of my bicep black, but it wasnt like a typical bruise. It has been 6 weeks and my arm is still dark in that spot and hurts when i touch it, even with a bar of soap in the shower. Should I be concerned? I dont have health insurance, so I dont want to splurge on a doctors visit if it is nothing to worry about.

I have gallstones, and I will be setting a date with a surgeon soon to have my gall bladder removed. Can anyone tell me about the surgery? how long it will take to heal? how long should I have to take off work? Will it hurt much? Thanks so much :) ♥

Out of the clear blue I have started having this problem. I did have an abdominal hysterectomy 2 months ago so I'm thinking that it couldn't be nerve damage connected to that or it would have shown up sooner? Has anyone had this problem and if so, what do they think caused it and what did they do to get rid of it. Thanks.

I have ones called "heel halo", they have a hole in the middle so my heel doesnt touch it full on. I have seen ones that say they are specifically for the PF but am not sure what would work best. Just looking for some help.

I am 15 yrs old I run track in high school and I just finished crosscountry training and we are about to start training for track. Since I started running my muscles start hurting really bad when I stop but I dont feel it while im running. Its not just when I run its whenever I use my legs for any activity other than walking. I am really fast and one of the best runners on my team but I feel like this pain is holding me back from being a real athlete. Ive been running for about 4 weeks now and I still cant move around freely without pain. The other kids on my team get sore when the run to but when they aren't they are able to move around and play other sports freely. Is this normal or is something wrong?

I fractured my lower tibia just above the ankle, my doctor says that it heals fast cuz i'm young and it's not as bad. I was in a cast for a month and then got a walking boot, at first i had pain at the bottom of my foot (mostly in the heal) but i gradually put more and more weight on it and now i'm crutches free. I'm am wondering if i can take the next step without talking with my docor and walking without the boot, IS THAT SAFE? my next appointment is in 2 weeks ( IF I CAN WALK SHOULD I JUST SKIP THE APPOINTMENT?)

I stopped taking hardcore meds 2 years ago due to a back injury. Was taking 4- 80mg tab's of Oxycontin a day along with 4 doses of 10mg of Methadone. Two weeks later one ear started ringing & has been ringing ever since. Went to a Specialist ( $400.00 ) down the drain. I'll try anything except PEE in my ear. All answers are appreciated.

I often get a cramp or something similar in my right hand while I am playing my drum set. This doesn't happen when I play the quads in marching band. I've been drumming for about six years and have played the set for 2 years. Does anyone know what could cause this and what I can do to prevent them?

Test results over the past 11/2 years cannot pinpoint the exact cause of my condition therefore my condition cannot be treated with any amount of accuracy. The pain at times is unbearable--I cannot walk up stairs--I can come down stairs. Prior to my condition a stroll of six miles round trip on the beach was an everyday affair--now one mile round trip is an effort taking me 45 minutes compared to my 17minute/mile walk prior to my condition. Any suggestions because I got off the doctor merry go round.
