Injuries - June 2006

I was lifting tables, desks, and chairs all by my self and with the assistance of others, too... for a long distance. The problem is... I've done this before. I was helping a teacher move her stuff from one part of my school to another part.

Like I said, I've done this before... many, many times. Every time I move heavy stuff for long distances my biceps end up hurting for DAYS. Sometimes, the pain lasts a week... or a week-and-a-half.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get the pain to stop? How can I ease the pain?

BTW, I don't particularly want to try hydrocortisone or cortisone creams... because they damage bones and underlying muscular tissue (a known, but lightly-spoken medical fact...).

DAMNIT, IT HURTS!! >:-o!!

I started having a very strange pain in my shin about 10 days ago. It's actually to the outside of my left shinbone. The strange thing is that it only hurts when touched or when I walk a lot, but the pain feels almost like the pain from a burn. Even just light contact with the skin, like something brushing against it, can cause serious pain. Any kind of pressure on it is pretty excruciating. It feels almost like a sunburn rather than the pain that comes from trauma. The pain feels almost entirely like it's at the skin level, rather than in the muscle.

There is no visible discoloration or anything, and I don't remember doing anything to that spot. The area with the pain is about 6-8 sq inches on my leg. The pain hasn't lessened since I started noticing it, and it has started hurting when I walk more often than it did at first. I can't sleep on my left side because even that light pressure on it hurts too much. Any ideas what could have caused this? Did I damage a nerve or something?

About a month ago, I was playing with my nephew in the park and hit my knee on a piece of equipment, ever since then I have been getting sharp pains periodically. (Not old age, I'm only 22) I have taken Ibuprofen sometimes to ease the pain, however I was just curious as if I just bruised my knee or if it was something more seriously than that and should take the time to go see the doctor. The sharp pains feels kind of like a charlehorse that one might get in their leg. Any thoughts?

My 7 year old daughter somehow has injured the heel of her foot. She has been limping and I am wondering how long it will take to heal. She has been to the doctor and he told me to come back in 3 weeks. Is there anything I can do to help her foot feel better? She likes putting it in cool water. I am going to ask the doctor about a brace, because any kind of pressure seems to agrivate it. It is hard to make her sit still all day to give it a chance to get better. Has anyone else done this, or have a child that has injured his/her foot. It mostly hurts on the heel where she walks.

I had an accident a few years ago and tore up my knee which caused me to limp badly, resulting in messing up my back (or so the Chiro said).
I was prescribed 60+ mg of Hydrocodone daily (but I took well over 100 mg) and have since quit taking it (one of the hardest things I've done!). I have moved to a small town in OK and the docs here won't prescribe pain meds except for right after surgery. So, I had to quit.
Is there anything at all I can take over the counter that will help my pain? I've tried Tylenol and Advil but I'm gonna destroy my liver at this rate and still not get rid of the pain.
I have a bulging disc in my back, less than 1/2 the cartilage in my knee and something wrong with my neck.
Help?
Thanks!

My tail bones hurts like hell, I didn't fall or hurt it in any way. I think the cause of it might be me sitting down for hours on end and taking tests. I went to my doctor and I got x-rays, they found nothing so I was told to ice it. It isn't working that well, just makes my butt cold. When I stand up I hurts sometimes, when I sit down in a chair my tail bone feel uncomfortable, and when I sneeze it hurts alot. What is wrong?

well, six weeks ago, coming up seven I sprained my ankle at netball and ever since I have been playing netball but it really hurts and you know how the swelling supposed to have gone after one week, well my ankle is still as swollen as it was when I did it, my mum said that its not because I have been playing netball on it (she is a nurse) so she should know. and I went to the doctors and they said that was nothing wrong with it and I doubt it, this was 5 weeks ago, what can I do to stop the swelling its really bugging me so yeah, and my netball coach who is the same age as me has been pressuring me to stop playing till its better, but then we wont have enough people on our team to play. And I play competitively so I can’t just not play. and I have been wearing an ankle brace, since I did it and it hasn't helped and it is like the best one on the market, so you think I should stop playing or go back to the doctors and stuff like that because, right now I am really confused. Help me!!

I occasionally get a pinching feeling in my neck, followed by a lapse of strength loss in my right arm. Is it anything other than possible spinal issues or should I be worried.

If you had the surgery, any regrets? Has the surgery stabilized your knee? Any helpful insight appreciated.

For any doctors out there, I'm wondering what procedure is for treating a patient who has taken a fall and recieved a concussion. Do they go to the ER? Do they just lay in bed and "sleep it off", so to speak? Any help would be appreciated.

I got into a car accident on Monday and I went to the ER because my door smashed into my hip and was hurting. They didn't do any X Rays just gave me some meds and sent me home...This morning (or afternoon) I woke up with horrible pains where my ribs are and my lower back is hurting..Should I go back to the ER and at least get XRays or just try to wait it out?? Ever since I had the accident I have had a really bad headache which caused me to sleep for almost 24 hours...Anyone have any suggestions??
