Injuries - August 2006

Pain Management, All Dr's here in So OC, CA. will not help with debilitating pain. My Life is moment by moment. Suffering so much for 2 years D.rs refuse to give pain med's. When all this was caused by a Botched, Torn Meniscus Surgery in the knee. 18 months go by, 3 Orthopedic Surgeons recommend: Knee Replacement. Went to 3 specialist They say-Oh The Dr. who originally did surgery on your knee is a colleague. Sorry we cant help you. I've been ignored, shunned, seems pushed out on the street like a dead animal. Pain has now traveled to my right leg, now my spinal nerves are A New Occurrence. I'm sure because Not One Dr. Here In San Clemente, Ca. Laguna Beach, Ca. wont touch me because Dr. protecting Dr. Also Insurance-Too Expensive and I'm too young. Mean time I'm suffering, no med's at all. Has anyone ever ran into this gross negligence? I'm young dammit ,My Life seems over. I want my life back? I cant walk, run with my son .Frustrated but Determined to Live . I'm 42/F/Power of mind , I'm gonna Blow Soon.

Does this look bad enough to go to the hospital for stitches? I cleaned it up really good with water, soap and some other things and got it really clean, and covered up right now. So should I go?

well... 5 years ago, i knocked my head onto a huge metallic pipe round the central part of my head. I had no vomitting and no bumps or is my head swollen, with the exception that there were continuous headaches for the next few months. However, slowly the pain went away.

What is scary is that, nowadays, when I sit around, sometimes this pain or sort of headache feeling came, and i could feel the world is moving without my head shaking. The occurence has been a few times and lately, the series of headaches came back and to make matter worst, I recently had nausea feelings.

So anyone got any idea whether it is related the knock on my head? If it is, what should I do?

Your a receptionist, you pick up the phone, you do a bit of filing, why are you all such complete egotistical bastar**. Im not going to tell you whats wrong with me, its none of your business, its private, your not a doctor. How the hell do these normal women become such devils, i mean is a little power so bad for a woman, as to drive her crazy. I have never met a doctors receptionist, that hasnt spoken down to me, or atleast been unhelpfull. I think the whole lot need a slap....

Can I clean it up good and super glue it back together? haha that may sound stupid... but it sure saves a few $1000... no insurance... I mean back in time they didnt have docs so they used some sort of gule. And even now doctors are starting to use a type of super glue instead of stitches!

All I did was squat down yesterday, nothing out of the ordinary and felt something shift on the inside part of my right knee. Its been pretty sore. Ice helps a little but but much. My knee cap feels fine. I never had a knee problem before. Should I do something different?

Kinda morbid, but I am curious. Should someone start bleeding copiously, what would the medical implications be regarding only the lack of blood? If the bleeding was staunched at the time they pass out , would they regain consciousness without a transfusion or would the shock be too great for them to recover naturally?

Generally speaking I mean, every case varies etc.

I was riding my dirtbike and I wrecked... The peg on the bike put a 1 inch wide and approximent 1 inch deep gash just below my knee cap. I rode back home and im not sitting on my desk. There is no pain and the bleeding has stoped now. What should I be doing now? So im sure I need stiches, or will I? I pushed the skin back together and right now its just taped. How much do stiches cost? I dont have insurance sorry to say. :(

is it normal for a guy to have an orgasm that was so enormous that his testicles turned inside out and are now hanging off the front of his penis through his urethra???? and would you recommend just waiting to see what happens or trying to stuff them back in with a vaseline-lubricated q-tip??? I don't have any other ideas, I can't possibly go to the emergency room with this problem.

While doing a mundane task the end of my middle finger clicked violently. The end is now swollen and tender but I can move all of the knuckles. Could I have broken a bone up there? What should I do - I really don't want to go to hospital for an xray if it's untreatable.
