Injuries - September 2006

I have had some blood tests and they have come back that my esr level is 26, i have been told it should be between 1 and 12. They tell me this means i have inflamation somewhere in my body, i broke my arm three years ago and have recently had the metalwork taken out and i am suffering pain. What symptoms will high esr show as. ie i am always tired is this a side effect of high esr?

So I was sitting in class the other day trying to tear open my starbucks coffee when I jerked my elbow backwards and I hit my funny bone right on a metal-y thingy on my desk. It's been a couple of days now... I cant really feel the outer part of my hand and I keep hitting it on stuff by accident. It's getting really annoying and it's even hurting when I'm typing right now. What's going on?

I do not know what to expect or if there are other options that would be better. Surgeon said this must be done with in weeks and I must be cautious to not have trauma occur which could cause paralisis. Any information or advise would be appreciated. Also, if you know any good web sites to review that would be great too.

What is the exact different between a regular bruise and a muscle contusion (bruise). I know that a bruise you can obviously see. I'm asking because I went to the emergency room Thurday night and thought I had fractured my thumb, but they didn't even take x-rays, and just ruled it off as a muscle contusion, gave me a splint and said it should be better within about 5 days. Well it's been 5 days, and still hurts really bad. There's no visible bruising and very minimal swelling. What do I do. Should I go get a second opinion or wait it out? If I find out that it is fractured, what do I do about the hospital?

Please, help me out with a writing problem. This question is ideal for nurses and doctors who have had ER experience...

I'm writing a scene at the moment where a person has been shot in the abdomen. There is really no medical care available aside from a doctor's first aid kit.

What could be done for a person in these circumnstances?

What treatment would be provided 'in the field'?

What could be expected in the recovery?

My foreskin has loads of little stretch marks on it, and frequently gets dry and cracked. Even though my flaccid penis is very big with quite a big foreskin, I think the problem is probably due to the amount py penis grows when it gets hard - my erect length is 1.7x my flaccid length, and my erect girth is 1.6x that when soft. Should I try ordinary moisturisers or is there something better you can suggest?

I fell two days ago and landed HARD on my wrist. I thought I was okay, but last night my wrist started to hurt. Today my wrist has been tingling and my arm started to feel numb. It hurts really bad.. Is there any way I could have sprained my wrist, but not felt the pain until days later? I dont know if I should go to the doctor or just try to ice it to see if it feels better in a few days...

It was still enough to leave me with a stiff neck and a some pain in my neck, but now my lower back hurts too. Could it have been caused by this collission?

I had a 5th metatarsal foot surgery and 6 weeks after surgery the podiatrist said I could walk with a walking boot. I have been trying for a week but it hurts right where the incision is. Is it supposed to hurt?

Someone I know is working, but her job doesn't include benefits. Can she get any help for this bill or is she saddled with paying it off which will take her a long time given her salary. (Florida)

I am 50 years old and fell on my hands, they are bruised between the thumb and first finger. I want them to get better as soon as possible. When I cut or open jars etc it does hurt. Should I avoid heavy work until they heal. Or will they heal regardless of what I do.
