My daughter had a pretty bad concussion on Sunday was sent to the ER after losing conciousness for 3 mins. She seemed like she was getting alot better the day after and seemed like she was back to normal two days after. But today (the third day after the injury) she vomited twice. Has anyone had a child that had a concussion if so what was the outcome and what type of sympoms did they experience?

ok, i'v been able to do this for ages

on my right wrist, i extent my thumb and rotate my wrist in a counter-clockwise direction and it makes a cracking sound. not like knuckle cracking, but more like a grinding popping sound. Also, its not limited to just one crack, i can go for atleast 6 rotations before it becomes painful.

I'm just curious as to what this is, what could cause this, is it serrious, and should i get it checked out.

(my friend calls it a 'clicker' and she has it too ((same wrist, same prosedure to make it pop)))

I recently got some blood work. The lady who took my blood took 4 viles. She left the band around my arm until the last vile was drawn..in the process though she was having trouble getting the blood to flow. I told her that she needed to take the band off in order to get that flow. She refused and sd that the only take if off during the last vile. I told her that my arm was aching and finally she took if off, the blood started to flow and she seemed stuned because of this? Is it procedure to leave the band on the whole time even when drawing that many viles?

One week ago, DD woke up not being able to feel her legs. They were swollen and red with bruised looking knee caps. We propped them up, the swelling went down but now her legs hurt so bad she is in a wheelchair. Chiropractor and GP ordered an MRI of lower back which came out normal.
Her legs are painful to the touch. She cannot put weight on them, she has two points on her spine that cause complete bilateral numbness in her legs. One spot is just above the hips, the other is just below bra strap level. Manual traction removes the pain in the legs but when legs are released the pain comes rushing back worse than ever. Has anyone ever heard of these symptoms and what they mean? The docs are perplexed and I am getting worried.

Thanks

About 90% of the time I go to work, I get real bad headaches to the point of dizziness. I'm just fine before I go to work but once I clock in and get on a register(I'm a cashier) my head goes to banging terribly. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similiar, and what could be the cause of this?

okay uh I had knee arthroscopy may 1st it went well. But when I stand on it long or walk a longing distance the..... I guess the muscles gets all tensed up and my knee throbs, it'll disappear if I rest it for a while. But I am wondering when it will if it will ever fully heal and if so how long? I'm guessing long. But about how long how many months or a year?

Umm hard for me to explain this, not very good at explaining. Best to start from the beginning, well i started getting sharp painful stings in my knee, when ever I walked it had occasionally and it was so painful that I wanted to cry, but it didn’t ever last that long, about a minute to two at the most. Then when I got it examined I found out that my meniscus was causing the problem, instead on them being both the shape of C's one was a D so what they did was go in and shave the D down to make it a C. So can anyone help me out here? I'd really appreciate it. I hope that explanation is alright.

She dd both of these in an "agressive" form. I had the flu that day and I havent been to school since then but i'm going back tommorow. i heard i can get a complaint form and fill that out but i was wondering if I could do more then that. Like so they would fire her?
