I tripped over a baby gate in my hallway and fell and all my weight landed on my arm/elbow. Within about 10 mins it swelled tremendously and was deep blue/purple and I would say the swelling was very fast (like flat to completely swollen in less than 2 minutes and like I had a lemon on the side of my elbow). Anyhow, after xrays I had no broken bones. But, after 2 days the bruise's blue spots started to lighten ( but still a dark blue/purple) and in the center of the bruise (it had been black/purple) instead of lightening to a yellowish color like I have seen in the past, it is becoming an even darker red. What would it look like if I had a clot form and what would the signs be? I was very sore after the fall like you would expect, but now I have had dizziness when bending over and feel better but still getting light headed walking around a bit?

Which one are you a runner or a stayer? I am a life long runner (yes I know I look an idiot running and flapping) but I have managed to live for 36 years without being stung by a bee or a wasp and I think this is the best thing to do, what do you think?

i went boating yesterday and was riding on the back of a tube. i got hit in the head by something when i fell off, i can't remember. The only thing it could have been was a person. i didn't even feel anything until i got back to the beach. I can only remember parts of what happened that day. I have some swelling where i got hit. the next morning felt like i had a hangover until i took some excederine. i feel fine now, am i ok or am i just being a worry wort?

I'm not expecting to get any good responses but maybe I'll get lucky. I got in a motorcycle accident a week ago today and while everything else is healing fine my arm Is still hurting. If I keep my right arm bent it's fine and doesn't bother me but if I straighten my arm out it hurts right in the bend of my arm well it's maybe like an inch forward from the bend and if I move my arm sparatically like like I throw a punch or anything like that that moves my arm fast it kills it the fast the jerk the more it kills like I was trying to fix my motorcycle and a bolt wasn't budging and finally it let go jerking my arm and it felt like someone just took a knife and stabbed me there I swore very loud lol. It's also numb just left of where it hurts go figure the numbness misses where I need it most. To the left of the numbness is a bruise that isn't fading unlike the rest. When I press down in ceratin spot right about where it's numb I can feel like a muscle moving that spirals up more to come

My boyfriend had to go to the emergency room from an accident and was worked on in the ER but was not admitted into the hospital. When the bill came it was summarized and one of the items said "FX Closed Fibula" and we talked to the Dr's office and they said it is a diagnosis of his ankle and WE think it sounds like they are saying they did surgery to close his ankle where the Fibula bone was broke. Could someone with more medical terminology give us a better understanding? The doctor’s office is not being cooperative since he went to his regular Dr. and not back to the Dr. from the ER. The reason we are asking is that the charge is the highest on the bill and it just doesn’t sound right.

I don't go back to my doctor for a while and I was told today with my MRI that things do not look good. Is surgery a possibility and if so what will they do because I don't think putting a plate in would solve the problem because my bones are just breaking apart. I fractured my bones when I was lifting up a case of bottled water into an SUV and my bone popped and apparently a little piece is missing and now I have fractures too. Any advice or possible treatments would be good so I know what i'm up against. Thanks.

I am male in late 20's. I just wanted to know what the norm is for a male patient. Do the majority of the males go to male doctors or the other way around. Or does it even matter.. I called my insurance operator and they looked up a couple of doctors that were both female. I was to call the doctors office and confirm if they are taking new patients before switching PCP's. I don't know who else to ask. Thanks for you guidance.

I injured my shoulder a month ago and when i hurt it I heard a "pop, pop, crack" It was extremely painful the next day, with the pain lessening over the next couple days, yet still hurting. After the 4th day I went to urgent care and got xrays. She said it was a sprained shoulder and to iake Ibuprofen and try not to baby it. It has been annoyingly painful ever since and just this week it started getting really stiff and popping and cracking whenever I use it. It almost feels as if the stiffness is spreading to my neck and my back. Could the xray have missed something with my tendon's or ligaments? I don't want to go back and get another doctor's bill if they're gonna tell me nothings wrong. Help - it hurts!

I've for the past few months have been feeling some discomfort in my chest (pretend that an upside-down V is my rib cages - the point is where it feels like they meet and were it sometimes feels funny.) The throbbing (best word I can think of to describe it even though it doesn't exactly throb) isn't sharp or continuous, and as I said, I've felt it every so often since about May. Quite often it moves higher up, but even then, it's only on my left side and below collarbone.

So, to recap:
*left side of body, always lower than collarbone, higher than naval.
*on and off since May
*not sharp, more of a soreness?
*no idea what it is

I had suspicions that this was related to cardiology, but when I saw my cardiologist after having some scans taken, he said that everything seemed to be looking fine, but he didn't have any other idea as to what it was.

So the final question: WHAT AM I FEELING?

Some of you are gonna ask for info about me, so I'll say quickly: I'm a teen, girl, healthy, etc.
