Injuries - July 2006

I just started a new job which requires me to wear dress shoes (i.e.: pumps, wedges) & suddenly my feet have grown to the size of grapefruits. Any suggestions?!?!?!

I was walking through the hallway and stubbed my foot on the stair post and my little toe and foot has been swollen for the last 2 weeks. It is sore if I wear normal shoes so I have been in sandals. How long will I take to heal?

My 76 year old mother was on a bus last week which was full and had to stand among the crowded bus, as the bus was moving along the road a car shot out in front of it and the bus driver slammed on his brakes suddenly to avoid hitting the car, my mother hurt her back trying to stop herself from falling but did not realise this at that time till the next day, she was in agonising pain and had to go to the hospital for an xray, even though nothing is broken she sprained her back quite badly and is on pain killers, My question is can she claim compensation from the bus company for this? she did not report this to anyone other than her GP, she knows the number of the bus but not who was driving it.

I don't know if that's what's going on with me or not. Last night lying in bed, I woke up and turned my head and got the most intense pain, like someone had turned my neck around or something and it crept up the back of my head, tingling, kind of numb. It was awful! It was hard to go back to sleep because it hurt my head to lay it on the pillow. Today it is still sore, the back of my head and my neck is sore. Is this whiplash? Can you just randomly get whiplash for no apparent reason? I can remember this happening a couple of months ago at work, but not as painful or intense and it made my shoulder jerk up, like I was startled. What should I do? Do I really need to see a doctor or will it go away on it's own? Can anything serious occur if left untreated?

I wanted to know if i am alright because i took a firecracker, lit it about foot above my face, and it exploded too quickly to run, and after it exploded, my ears felt like cotton balls were between them, and then 4 secs later, i could hear again. i didnt hear any ringing or nothingin my ears, but i just want to know if i am alright.

After I returned from the pool, I had to go pee so bad. I didn't want to run through the house, so I was skipping (It's a brilliant idea to skip while wet)......Woooooosh, hit the tile. I broke my ankle. I call it "the extreme skipping accident of '06"

I HAD AN EPIDURAL AND WAS ABLE TO PULL BOTH MY KNEES TO MY CHEST. AFTER SURGEY TWO DAYS LATER AFTER I GOT ALL MY FEELING BACK, MY RIGHT LEG WOULD NOT MOVE. WHAT IN THE WORLD COULD HAVE HAPPENED? I WAS PARALIZED FROM THE EPIDURAL FROM MY CHEST TO MY TOES FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS. I WAS UNABLE TO FEEL ANYTHING OR MOVE ANY OF THOSE BODY PARTS FOR HOURS. PLEASE HELP

Please give me real evidence, not just random musings.

I just want to see if it's worth going to pay for x rays and all that crap...so I need to know if you can have a fractured toe without swelling and such.

I had a bad fall today and messed up my big toe pretty bad. It hurts on the first knuckle part (the one closest to the body) on the inside and on the top, especially when im walking on it. But there's no swelling 5 hours later.

My dad says to just not worry about it, but I'm more skeptical than that.
