Injuries - October 2006

for Neurosurgeons only. My wife had a serious accident in which her
cervical spine suffered a prolaps 3 months ago.
Although she can walk normally, sit and move, she still suffers
from infrequent, once or twice daily tremours to her abdomen, and has generally low sensation in her arms and hands, downward from her elbow.
The Neurosurgeon has no solution as she won't have an OP.
Can the spinal injury be healed over time, and does a stiff neck collar help to improve this symptoms? She can only wear a soft collar the stiff collar gives her real discomfort.

Yesterday I bent down and suddenly I head a sharp pain in my back, kind of all around the right area, but not too low or at the spine. Since then its hurt when I move in certain directions and when I breathe in deeply. Is this just a regular back problem that goes away by itself, or is it something else. What I'm concerned about is the breathing in deeply pain... 6 months ago the same thing happened and went away in a few days... Anyone can help me?

I was helping someone dump a load on a fork lift and was on the forks. Driver went a little crazy and I scrambled for somewhere to hold on and ended up with foot caught in hydraulics and it severd toe and bone and pretty much pulled it off. Dr. hospitalized me and surgery was needed and pins are holdig it together and am off work for about 3 months now. Aside from workmans comp, am I elligable for a settlement? workmans comp is only sugesting 2/3rd`s of average pay which won`t be much. Can I get a lump sum of money for this?

I was hit by car (as a pedestrian) just over a month ago. I wasn't seriously hurt- just some scrapes and bruises and a nasty bump on the head. I was taken to the emergency room at the time, and followed up with my doctor a few days later. They did a CT scan- my brain is fine. The problem is that my head still hurts. There is still a bump at the top of my forehead and the upper right half of my head hurts all the time with a sort of dull ache. Nothing I can't take some advil and ignore for a little while, but it hasn't gone away and I am getting frustrated. Also, I keep getting these random jolts of serious pain. There will just be a flash of pain in a line along my head and forehead, through the area with the bump. It will hurt for a few seconds, stop, and then do it again a few minutes or hours later. It's always a surprise, and it's driving me nuts! Also, it can't be healthy to be taking this much advil for so long. Is this normal? Should I do something? What?

In the latest November Kingdom Ministry it shows that Jehovah's Witnesses are allowed to use blood fractions if their conscience allows, but that they are not allowed to donate blood.

Since blood fractions are derived from donated blood how do they justify not donating blood but benefiting from blood?

I fell about 40 feet the only thing that happened with cuts and bruises aside, was my entire wrist located. all tendons severed, and my lunate found its way to the top of my palm. I am now finishing with physical therapy but am being told that I will probably never bench press or do pushups again. major bummer I power lift for fitness and hobby. Could the doctors be covering their ***-ets, has any one else gone through something similar some inspirational words would do wonders for a man who does not want to give up what he loves.

My 3 y/o son fell down the steps this evening (about 20 minutes after the dr office closed) and hit his nose on a step. It swelled up instantly. There was a little blood mixed in clear snot. He cried for a very short time. I had my father who has some medic type training look at it. He doesn't feel that it is broken. It is still swollen more than 3 hours later. It is still red and starting to show signs of bruising. I guess what I am wanting to know is what I can expect tonight until I can get him to the doctor in the morning. I would like advice from anyone who knows from medical training or personal experience. Thanks, P~
