Is it possible for normal tension glaucoma to be caused by a blunt force to the ocular area? Meaning the damage is done, but the pressure alleviated after the strike, such as a punch or fall.

I ran into a large wooden chest/box in my apartment, and hit my shin really hard. I hit it so hard, that I buckled over and nearly blacked out from the pain (I compare it to being it with a baseball bat in the shin ... although that has never happened to me). I got up soon after, and could walk fine (even though it still hurt). I iced it for awhile. I soon noticed that I had a bump where I hit my shin, right below my knee. The bump has been there for over a week, and the bump is as hard as a bone (so it's not just swelling). Although the pain is gone, the bump is still there, and as big as it was when it first happened. What is it? Will it go away? Am I stuck with it? Is it a "bone bruise" (what is that anyway)? Let me know, please. Thanks.

Okay, on 28 July I broke my 5th metatarsal on my left foot. Had my leg in cast up to my knee for 4 weeks and told to come back in 4 weeks for another xray to see if it had healed, if it hadn't, they said they would put another cast on. When I went back after 4 weeks, they took my cast off and discharged me without an xray, when I questioned about the xray they said it was more dangerous to xray me! Still after 3 weeks in pain I went to the doctors' and requested my own xray and it was still broken! Not due to see same consultant till Wednesday. I've got a new lump on my foot and it is still giving me alot of pain. It hasn't healed properly and can hardly walk and can't drive at all. Surely this is wrong. My life's been put on hold and I feel like I'm going mad sometimes. Shall I take action against the NHS?

I got punched in the eye about a week ago. The Dr. said I need surgery to repair a fracture in the bone around the eye. My question is this: my cornea (the white part) is still COMPLETELY red/purple. When should this be starting to go away? Could it stay like this? If anyone has ever had this experience, let me know. Serious answers only.

I had shin splints back during summer softball season. Now that the splints have been gone for about two months I have this pain when a walk. Everytime I step and apply weight on my left foot it hurts around the front ball near the big toe. My big toe is stiff like its jammed. The pain feels like it is between the big toe and second toe. The pain only comes and goes but is there each day. This has been going on since the shin splints went away. I don't think it is gout because of the time length I've had this. Any ideas of what this could be?

Ok. So the other day my eye started to hurt. I'm not sure of why or what caused it but it just hurt pretty damn bad...so i took out my contacts assuming that would fix my problem. But it didn't. My eye continues to hurt and tear. I know it sounds like pink eye-it very well could be-but there looks to be a little white spot or something on the edge of my iris. I don't know what it is, or what it COULD be. I would call the eye doctor, but its Saturday now. So if anyone has any ideas of what it could be~LET ME KNOW.

But i am still going to the eye doctor on Monday.

Recently I was involved in an accident in Thailand. A small piece of metal entered my forearm. The piece of metal was removed (about the size of a quarter), luckily I did not break any bones or tear any tendons.
Although the wound is small (about the size of a nickel or quarter) it is a nasty one. If I move my wrist I can see my tendon moving.

It has been 3 weeks since the accident and it still isn't completely healed.
I am getting my medical care here in thailand. For a wound this small, I have to go to the hospital daily to get it cleaned (which is getting tedious!).

It did get infected at one point but is much better now and seems to be recovering.

I feel three weeks is too long for a wound of this size. What do you think?

I been thinking if I had gotten care in the US it would have healed by now. Since I am going to a government hospital here, I believe they are a little backwards.

I would appreciate it if medical professionals only answer this question.

Johnny fractured the lower third of his right tibia in a skiing accident. The soft tissues in the area were severly damaged, and their surgical removal was necessary. After prolonged immobilization, it was found that Johnny was healing poorly. The exp. given by the ortho Surgeon was that the vascularization of the fracture site was still inadequate, and good healing was absolutely dependent upon an adequate blood supply. Describe how a long bone receives its blood supply, and trace the path of nutrient delivery to the osteocytes!!!!!!
