I fell on my right wrist twice in football, and now, it has less mobility than my left wrist. I don't want to go to a doctor just yet, but besides icing it, is there anything else I should do?

I may have torn my medial meniscus and I find out the results of the MRI later today. If you tore your meniscus, what were your symptoms? I have a hard time bearing weight on my leg and it's really hard straightening it. Was this the case for you?

I sliced my fingertip open while cutting onions six days ago.It hurt,and bleed an awful lot,but the bleeding stopped the same night.I've been using bandages on it,but it continues to hurt all the time.I know it's too late for stitches now,but should I see a doctor for it anyway? What could he possibly do six days after the incident?

Last week I vacationed in Tennessee with my parents. We didn't do much hiking or anything but we did climb up a thing called Clingman's Dome...it's 1/2 mile and like a straight incline, you go up 330 feet while climbing it...Anyway, afterwards my left leg was sort of sore, which I expected. But yesterday I was folding clothes and took a step back and stepped into a door knob on a very tender area of my back (lower back where the "holes" are) it hurt VERY bad and since then my whole left leg has been so tender, like all of the skin is rubbed off. It hurts to sit on a bed or chair or in a car, to have pants on, it hurts all the way down to my heel of my foot, so that it hurts to walk as well. Does anyone know what could have caused this or if there might be anyhing wrong?? I don't want it to be some serious thing and me wait till my leg is paralyzed........Thanks.

My son ( 3 years) lost his right index finger in an accident. I was wondering if someone could help me with estimating the cost if i were to get a microvcascular surgery done to transfer a toe to his finger. I wish to know the cost of this surgery in UK preferrably but any place in Europe is good enough..Thanks in advance..

I broke both my wrists in a motorbike racing accident at Cadwell Park 6 weeks ago. I only do it as a hobby and would like to get back on. However my right wrist has very limited movement. Does anyone know any exercises I can do to regain the movement. Seriously. No stupid answers

What is everyone's option on this? Do you think that I should have him wrap everyday with an ace bandage, he starts school in 2 days, and we was thinking of having him wear this all the time he is not in sports.

I have an ACL tear and I posted a question today about the best method of repair, and everyone is saying you must pick a good surgeon. I live in California and there are many doctors here. My surgeon is a stanford grad. and woked with navy seals, but how do I know find the best (or one of the best) surgeons??

Where can I get the statistics, reviews, etc. How do I know how many successful surgeries he had and what is defined as 'success'?

Thanks in advance!

He did 400 jumps on concrete and suddenly got a sharp pain in his head -- he did 100 more and then had a headache. He woke up in the middle of the night with a worse headache, and he STILL has a headache today...

What kind of head / brain trauma could he have caused, and is this serious enough to go see a doctor?? (serious answers only from people with medical background or personal experience with this - thx)

I'm a klutz. I bump into things, fall over or hurt myself alot. I'm lucky to go 3 weeks without going to A&E or my doctor for some injury, usually minor thank goodness. I'm so grateful that my bf has a sense of humour about it because my ex's have got angry with me for being less than perfect. I'm clumsy about what I say sometimes too and find myself apologising alot. I try to laugh off my 'bumps' but actually I do feel terribly embarrassed and wonder what people must think of me. I'm also scared my bf might get accused of hurting me even though family and friends know what I'm like. I try to go to A&E on my own to avoid this. Is anyone else like this or do you have any advice? Oh I'm left-handed too.

Due to air pollution there are chances we may tend to wink our eyes more frequently than we used to do several years ago.And will this contribute to repetitive strain injury?.

I have been adjusting to wearing insoles from my doc and suddenly have terrible pain in my lower back/upper tush area. Will this go away on it's own? I stopped wearing the insoles, but the pain is terrible. Don't want to call the doc if I don't need to.
