Injuries - November 2006

It's my second time vomiting from drinking, and I realize that I tend to end up throwing up water (or even worse, stomach fluid?). Afterwards, I feel a burning pain in my throat, and worst of all, my vocal chords get screwed up. Last time, they were so screwed up that I couldn't sing properly for over a month, almost 2. So just wondering what I need to do or what foods I should avoid to help my vocal chords recover? And is it possible that they are slightly permanently damaged (cuz eversince my last time vomiting, my voice gets kind of scratchy easily)?

I fell about 6 or 7 stories. Went and landed feet first, which is probably why I can still walk fine. (stiffness occasionally in cold weather) I have rods in the full length of both my thieghs, and I was wondering if there is some truth to the saying that once you have rods placed in your legs, your legs CANT rebreak. Of course I know if I fell again, I'd be really messed up.........But is it true that the area of the bone where the rod is placed cannot be rebroken??

I ruptured on Aug. 12 and had surgery on Aug.18. Began PT this past tues on November 28th. after 15 weeks. Was in a walking boot for the past 7 weeks and weight bearing the last 3 before PT began. I am now in shoes but have a bad limp and walk VERY slowly. My incision is bearly visible as my doctor said that I have healed beautifully. I just hope the tendon has healed as well as the incision. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

I had my acl surgery 5 weeks ago, I'm doing great in my rehab, but my cuadricep and harmstring are still very week, my physical therapist says that I'm probably not going to get my strength and size back until 5 or 6 month, is there a way for me to get them back faster so and balance the strength of both legs

I would really like to participate with my family when they go ice skating but my feet go through excruciating pain after only a couple of minutes of wearing my skates. Besides the classic ladies skate I have tried, mens skates (arches in the wrong spot) and purchased an expensive ladies boot style skate. I've tried different socks etc. but no matter what after just a few minutes in the skate it's like my entire foot goes into a muscle cramp! Does anyone else have this experience? I have a friend who says her feet get cramped after about an hour but she says she is able to just skate it off. In my case the pain is so intense I just have to get the skate off quickly and massage my arches to get my foot flexible again...
can anyone help?
thanks!

I thought perhaps it left a splinter and thought I had gotten it out. It was really sore for a few days, but isn't now. It just keeps peeling off layers of skin from a dry center with raised redness around that. Are Palm tree stickers poison? Should I go have this looked at by a doctor or do you think it will just go away eventually?

My son is 16 and has a hip which cannot be repaired due to total slippage of the femural head. Some time between now and 15 years from now he will need a total hip replacement. It all depends on when his hip becomes painful.

If you have any personal experience please can you tell me what kind of replacement hip you had, nylon/steel, steel/steel, ceramic/steel or ceramic/ceramic. How long has it lasted since the operation, has it given you any problems and how old were you when the replacement was made.

I have read that nylon/steel are easiest to fit without complications but last up to 15 years and that ceramic/ceramic can potentially last a lifetime but are prone to fracture and have no long term testing statistics.

I would particularly be interested in a reply from anyone who has had a ceramic hip fitted long ago.

The following day, my back and neck started hurting. Her insurance company wants me to pay for all of medical bills, therapy, medicines, etc and then send them the copies of receipts and doctors notes. Should I get an attorney or settle this on my own?

a few days ago i got into a fight and got punched in the nose

is it broken?

my nose has swollen just a bit and i have a visible bruise under my right eye and a minor bruise under my left eye

i don't get nosebleeds

when the punch came to my face i went and looked in the mirror and saw that it was crooked but not much

then the next day the slight crookedness of my nose had been gone

as for the guy who punched me, all i came say is that it was a sucker punch/cheap shot and that i made that idiot cry at school

I wear contacts and I think they are getting a little old. Anyway, I slept out one night with my contacts still in (they are the kind that are supposed to be taken out while you sleep). I woke up and my left eye was in extreme pain. My eyelids felt heavy and when I walked into a room with a bright light, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't open my eyes. This was two days ago..now my left eye is red and bloodshot, its very sensitive to light and keeps trying to close, it won't let me open it all the way, and occasionally hurts. What could be wrong? Should I see a doctor?

I gave blood on Monday. November 25. I have severe brusing, and swelling, tingling, redness, pain were the needle was put in. And this has been going on for a week. I called the American Red Cross and all they said was that they busted a blood vessel and hit a nerve. Also she said to put warm water/ a heating pad on it and then we would go with that. Do you think that I have a blood clot?
