Injuries - August 2006

I was just diagnosed with tendonitis today. The hospital gave me info, but it wasn't much. I looked it up on webmd and couldn't really find too much. I want to know what exactly should I do. All the paper told me was to wear the brace they gave me and take motrin for pain and inflammation. What else can I do to help make this better?

If you spilled coffee on your face (i mean coffee right out of the maker) what degree burn would you get? I was just wondering b/c I spilled some on my hand earlier and it didn't feel that bad, but you hear all of these coffee burn horror stories, so I was just curious.

i went to the doctor today becuase of knee problems. it hurts when i walk and it grinds and pops. it will sometimes lock-up or give out. i expecially hurts when i use stairs. the orthapedic doctor said that my knee cap and ligaments are not lined up. he gave me a little knee support that goes right under the knee cap to hold it in place for when i play sports. and ordered physical therapy. it's the kind of thing that has just gotten worse over time - there was never any sudden injurty. now i don't think that the support is helping at all and i don't think the diagnosis is correct. he also wouldn't prescribe any pain medication when i ask for it, he just told me to take 3 advil, which has never worked in the past and i told him that. he said that if it doesn't get better in 6 WEEKS, to go back to have an MRI, that seems like a wery long time! should i get a seccond oppinion

I have dislocated my left shoulder three times now. Everytime I go to the emergency room It takes them 2 hours to get me in a room and another 2 hours to get someone to "pop" my shoulder back in. (which takes 2 minutes to get it in). Everytime they do it they drug me up on some super morphine stuff that makes me black out for a minute, so I cant see what they're doing. I was wondering if there was a faster, of course cheaper and safer way of doing it.

I was cleaning today, and I picked something up to vaccuum under it when I felt a sharp pain shoot through my wrist. It immediately swelled up, but what's weird about it is one area is more swollen than the rest. If u turn your hand palm side up and on the pinky side about 3 inches from where the hand meets the wrist is more swollen than anywhere else. Is it something serious? Should I go to the ER for x-rays? The pain and swelling seems to be going further up my arm as time passes.

OMG it took forever to type this left handed only.

I've asked a couple of times but only got a couple of answers.

In anticipation of an injury settlement offer regarding a slip and fall injury within a grocery store, I am interested in the ramifications of accepting a settlement. The insurance company will be reimbursed upon settlement for expenses they have paid to date. My concern is will they pay any further claims related to this injury once we have accepted a settlement from the grocers insurance company. The injured party has already had a procedure done on her lower back which has given her significant relief. However, it still flares up on occasion and we feel it is not a question of if she will need further medical intervention, but when. Any advice from those that are in the know about such things will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Why do you get knots on your head if you bump your head, but if you pump your arm or leg, you usually only get a bruise? What is the physical difference between the head and other parts of the body that causes this unique reaction to an injury?

MY bird is a double yellow head parrot. So his beak his sharp, and med in size.It stopped bleeding with ice and pressure after 20 minutes. I have a bandaid to keep it closed. BUT, I can't eat or drink w/o it breaking apart. It's a bit deeper wound than I thought. But not bleeding unless aggravated. Will this heal on its own, w/o stitches, and what are my chances of having a nasty scar w/o stitches vs. stitches? Also, when I go to work tomorrow, I was going to buy steri strips...won't that do just as well as stitches. I would like some advice from people who may have had similiar lip problems. Thankyou.

I had a back injury 3 months ago, but it was in my lower back. Within the last few days I have had some back pain that starts around the shoulder blades and moves upwards. Today I'm noticing when I stand up it is uncomfortable to breathe, I don't feel like myself, I'm more pale in the face than usual and I may have had a fever the past two days. Even sitting here at my desk is beginning to hurt. I tried "popping" my back but I can't even get my back/neck to do that. Do I need seek medical attention? How quickly?
