I was involved in a traffic accident Thursday night and was transported then after to the hospital for treatment. Yesterday, my shoulder started hurting worse, and my neck is starting to throb. I was wondering whether or not I should go back to the ER. I don't want the insurance adjuster to get upset because I went again. What should I do?

I have cerebral palsy and i had a spasm attack that lasted 45 min long last month. I have gone to an orapedic doctor yesterday and did a x-ray on my shoulder and neck. I have been trying to do physical therapy with my neurologist.the therapy hurts alot when i was trying it. So we stopped doing it. I go for an MRI on monday and supposed to have the results on thursday. My mom is against surgery but if my doctors said that i have to have it. Is it going to mess up my cerebral palsy and spinal cord?

I was injured on the job this year, actually in June, I ruptured a disk in my lumbar region while lifting a 28' ladder at work. My question is, has anyone else here had to deal with workers comp? If so did you receive a settlement for your injury? I retained a WC attorney on the advice of another attorney to make sure I was taken care of and they have done a great job so far. I was just curious if a settlement is a reasonable expectation for this type of injury. My doc said that he doesn't recommend me going back to my regular job based on the condition of my spine, I have degenerative disk disease, I'm 44. Thanks in advance!

I have acquired a road burn (deep scrape from sliding on the road) on my leg. It is about six inches by four inches. I have been spraying a disinfectant on it and then wrapping it in gauze and a bandage. Is there a better way I should be treating this?

I have a swelling on my right cheek around my jaw and my ear. It sticks out a little bit and if i look straight at a mirror, i can see it. But when i move my skin around by it, the lump doesn't move, so i think it might be internal. I did camp out a few nights ago, before it started, could it be a bug? It'd be great if a doctor could answer this.

The problem is that i went to a night club, and funny enough my left ear that was directed to the speaker has got no problem, but to my supprise it is my right ear that was affected, and i have been experiencing this for about two and a half months now. Anytime I tried to answer my fone calls through the impaired ear, its like a car is hooting to my ears and i wont hear anything nicely

Six weeks ago I fell from the 1st floor to the ground floor. I think i broke my ribs and I finger and my hip and foot were badly bruised and swollen. However, my foot is still painful and has started clicking when I walk on it and my ribs are still painful. I called my gp and he said that if I could breathe I was ok. Is it normal to have pain 6 weeks after an injury and what is causing my noisy foot?

My brother met with an accident 20 days back and both the Thigh bones were fractured. He is 29 yrs old. Doctors have put permananet rods. Doctors say that he will be able to walk normally and he will be on his own. Can any one give me some inputs, how his life will be affected because of this (as faf as his health is concerned)? Will people with this kind of fractures walk and work without much difficulty? Will it affect his sexual life?
