Injuries - September 2006

I was rolling around on the mat during jiu-jitso, and somehow managed to hurt my little toe. I think it may have been the result of pushing my body weight off on my foot, and my foot moved, but the toe stayed in the same place.

It went numb at first and didnt really even hurt if i moved it around. It was sort of dangling off at a strange angle. Later, the angle fixed itself, and then the pain started. Now it is black and blue- almost halfway up my foot! I hear & feel some clicking if i try to move it.

So is it broken, sprained, dislocated, or what? Is there anything I can even do besides rest and taping it next to the other toe? Is there any point in icing it if i dont care if its swollen.

At least it doesnt hurt as much as my gout sometimes can!!

My wife was in a major wreck that left her with a broken hip, muscle, and nerve damage. She was pregnant at the time and soon gave birth following the accident, however, the doctors could only help her with pain and could not treat the injury for fear of hurting the baby ( her request). She still has a fracture that did not come together and heal. We fuaght the disabillity thing and won but four years later it was taken away from her because she was "Re-evalutated by a quack. Now, she can't even get out of bed or walk. My wife is only 35 and I need to take her and have a real doctor correct this condition, if possible. I don't want to think that my insurance would not cover this because it is a (pre-existing condtion), after all, the best doctors that the government has say that there is nothing wrong with her. does anyone have any input? I can't see her it this pain anymore. It couldn't be pre-existing if the condition does not exist, am I right or just ignorant to the fact.

Yesterday I was hit by a car. Before the car hit me, I put my hand on the hood thinking it would stop. I was hit on the upper portion of my thigh on the side. Now, my back hurts pretty bad and my shoulder is aching. I went to the er and they gave me two prescriptions. However, its not working! I have been using a heating pad as the dr recommended. I tried to go to the dr today to get checked out and was turned away because i do not have insurance and they could not contact the person that hit me insurance company. I dont know what to do and I am feeling really bad. What do you recommend I do?

I have it on my right foot. My doctor put me in a cast for 10 days. I was wondering if anyone else has been threw this? Will the cast fix the problem? He gave me some shots, that only helped for a short amount of time.

My dad had a stroke this past weekend. He is 75, fairly active, likes to walk. Non-smoker Non-drinker. Has type II diabetes. He had surgery yesterday to remove blood/fluid that was causing pressure on his brain. His right hand and leg were affected and his speech became haulting. 36 hours later he seems alert, but cannot speak or move his right side? Will he regain his speech or regain mobility on the right side? What are the statistics?

How can you ruin it? Is there any way to fix it? I noticed that sometimes when I sing loud, my throat tickles really bad and I cant seem to sing like I used to. Did I ruin my singing voice by hitting too many high notes?

I broke my foot four years ago. Over the past few months it has begun to stiffen on certain days. At times it is very difficult to walk. I am wondering if previously broken bones have a greater risk of arthritis?

I played tennis last night and may have aggravated an old high school injury. Last night there was some pain, but this morning I have a pain in my lower back. The difference with this one is that it feels more in the spine than a muscle. I can't stand up straight without it hurting. Should I apply heat or ice? What can I take that won't make me tired?
Thanks!

I have real bad gas and not the burping kind.. I must have to pas gas 50 times a day if not more and not little farts either . Family members say it isn't normal to fart that often. and i'm inclined to agree. I can't hold it in or I get cramps. So needless to say I don't like being in public. It is not ascociated with specific foods I could eat anything or nothing, and I still fart like a race horse what the hell is going on??
