Injuries - August 2006

I went to a really fun water park with my kids today and in one of the pools that I was in, I got too close to the bottom with my knees and scraped up my knee really bad....

about and hour ago, I cleaned my scrape again with that "NO HURT" cleansing wash for minor cuts and scrapes...and it didn't hurt AT ALL...I just wanted it clean from germs...so then, I put neosporin and a bandaid on it....now it hurts WORSE.....I wonder WHY???? The neosporin is Maximum strength pain releiver ointment....so..uh...why is it still hurting?.....HOW WEIRD!

it seems like after you bite it the fist time it swells up and then you keep biting it more.

based on my own research, I beleive I may have temporal or frontal lobe epilepsy - (it's a long story) I'm leaning more toward temporal). anyway, If I had an EEG test 1. would it show once and for all if I am epileptic and 2. would the test show which type I may have?

thanks.

My left hand has very limited use because of an injury 15 years ago. I have no feeling in my fingers to my elbow, so I tend to cut/burn myself often, I don't think of myself as handicapped, just limited on some activities. Is it possible to get some kind of state help even if I do have a part time job?

I sprained my ankle 2 1/2 months ago, and it was a second degree sprain with bruising all over my foot. it took about a week before i could walk again. since then i still don't feel like my ankle is as strong as it was before, though.

i occassionally roll my ankle still, too, and it scares me b/c i dont want to sprain it again. like today, i was running barefoot in my backyard, and i was running up a hill, and so my foot and leg were kind of in a large V shape while i was running, and then my ankle was really sore after i was running and it has been sore all day. how long will it be before my ankle feels back to the way it was? should i still keep up with the "ankle strengthening" exercises my doctor gave me to do while the ankle was sprained?

today I lifted something heavy and my back is strained. It is not rigid, still when I am in vertical position it hurts and as a result I cannot walk. Could it be something serious ? or will it dissapear the next couple of days? How should I cope with it?

I am 30 years old, fit and never had a back problem.

I have a problem which makes it impossible for me to bend to tie laces or puch my knees back any further than 90 deg literally..
i have tried injections ( prolotherapy ) to strengthen lots of areas that have improved this but i still cant bend over and have noticed that it seems to have something to do with the illium as well as my stomach muscles which feel almost unstable ( easily moved )
I dont whether this problem is result of one thing or combination but i have noticed the stomach area down to the groin seems to be involved and that injections on lower joints ( knees , feet ) have enabled me to bend better .. though its is apparent like now when i bend i quite literally feel resistance / bulge in my stomach that folds heavily in just below the ribs.
The only time I notice or see improvement is when the injections cause this illica crest and hip area to rotate inwards towards my stomach , other than that i am not sure what to do , if any one has any suggestions i be grateful

In the past 3 years, I've sprained my right ankle 3 times, and they were pretty bad sprains. I never did physical therapy for any of the injuries. The first time I sprained it was from jumping down a flight of stairs (something I'm not doing again!), the second was from skateboarding, and the third was from volleyball and all I did was turn around to get a ball! I'm starting volleyball again and I need some help on how to prevent another ankle sprain. Strengthening exercises or recomended braces would be helpful. Thanks!
