I recently got pushed really hard into cement and i did something to my rotator cuff in my left shoulder. It wasnt broken but i had to go to the hospital and wear a sling for 2 weeks. It doesn't hurt anymore but I'm finding it harder and harder to control my fingers and my entire arm is numb.. especially the fingers. I'm kind of worried as it seems to be getting worse. Is it the nerves just repairing and will it get better or should i get this checked out?

Recently I have posted questions about my foot injury. This happened while I was at work.A co worker accidently rolled over my foot with a cart of heavy folders. She needed to move the cart out of her way but she rolled it over my foot. I have gotten great answers but haven't seen the doctor and it's been a month and a half after the injury. My foot hurts on a scale of 1-10 it's a 10. Should I go to the emergancy room tonight because it really really hurts and I haven't seen a doctor yet?I HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE.Any medical oppinions from nurses or doctors or people with this experience.

I work at this animal hospital and still feel weak and somewhat queasy at the presence and smell of abundant blood. This is an inevitable part of the job but it is already 6 months and I still feel uncomfortable in seeing surgeries performed and blood. I never thought blood had such a strong odor.

I bruised my toe but it never healed correctly so now it has a little yellowish section. I'm positive it's not a fungus because the doctor told me so and this has never spread.

My doctor doesn't fully understand the pain I'm going through.

I sprained my wrist last friday and I know I tore a tendon in it.

He gave me 5 tylenol 3s and 100 motrin 800mg

Neither meds work and he just doesn't get how painful it is.

I can't even lift up a soda can with my right hand

I'm 26, no kids, I have 2 herniated disks (L4 and L5). L5 was an old injury. I think it happened when I was in the 4th grade and fell out of a swing, but it never really bothered me. L4 happened a couple of years ago, and now I have a lot of problems. I don't agree with having a nerve block, that only covers up the pain...it doesn't fix it. Surgery is not an option according to my doctor. They say I need to build muscle strength in my stomach and back, but I haven't found any exercises I am able to physically do. Symptoms are extreme pain, numbness and tingling in both legs, both arms, neck, and around my right shoulderblade. This isn't all the time, but I would say a majority of the time. I have at least some problems/symptoms on a daily basis (mostly just the pain). Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I broke my arm on purpose to see how it felt , now it has to come off should i rebrake it and will it be harder. Or should i just ask for the cast so i can play with it. I love the way the cast feels on my arm and the feeling of it.

That question drives me crazy! Fractured is a medical term for broken. A fracture is no better than a break. There are bunches of different named fractures but the bottom line is that they are all broken bones, just different kinds of breaks.
Greenstick fractures, incomplete fractures, colles fractures, on and on. Most are named after someone.
I'm sure a lot of people will not agree.

My hand, fingers and thumb are all very swollen. I am taking 800mg Ibuprofen for this (doesn't seem to be working). I am wearing a Futoro sling (not too tight). My physical therapy starts next week. are there any excercises for my hand that I can start now? Can't bend my thumb and forefinger because it hurts, should I try bending it with the other hand? How long will it take to be able to use my hand again? I thought getting the cast off would be the end of my troubles.
