I just discovered a dark purple bruise on the side of my leg, just on the side where my knee is. I’ve not hurt my self so I don’t understand where this bruise has appeared from. Could this be a blood clot?

BF knocked knee badly and has been diagnosed with the above - they are going to drain it out (presumably under local anaesthetic?) next week. He banged it badly. Is the foreign body likely to be a piece of dislodged bone or tissue? Or something else? He didn't cut it, so it doesn't seem that anything (like a wood splinter for example) went in at the time. Being a chap he was in great pain and didn't ask too many questions at the time - so grateful for any medical advice :)

I am having my elbow manipulated under anaesthetic to try and improve movement after a radial head replacement. How much pain should I expect after and how long before it eases off? Has anyone had this done?

Dec 1st, 2005 I was in an accident. I went to a chiropractor up through August when they told me my treatment was done, and essentially I was recovered. My neck and back still hurts when I sit, lay, stand, work out: too much or too long. I'm also prone to headaches, a problem I never had before. I want to settle SOON, but I still have problems... is it too late to go back to a doctor for an exam or something? Or... is the pain typical even after treatment?

I got my toe stuck under a door and its killing me. I can't sleep. I've took BC Powders and I've iced it and its not helping. I have sharp pains running from my toe throughout my foot. It's the toe beside the big one. Any suggestions on what will help ease the pain so I can rest? I have a 2 yr old! Help!!

After a recent fall (2 weeks ago) which severely injured my knee I still have swelling above the kneecap, pain below the kneecap and am unable to completely bend or straighten my leg. How long does this type of injury normally take to improve? An x-ray has revealed no fractures. I also have an area of numbness in my leg following the injury.

Im talking about the outer part of your ear, the part you can see. I hot hit in the side of my head with a shovel (dont ask lol) and my upper part of my ear has been swollen for the past few days. It hurts to touch and is a pain wearing helmets. I dont think its possible to break your ear but i was just wondering.

p.s. - it doesnt seem to be bruised.

i can jump and this is the only reason i feel that its not dislocated.

So would it be killing me if it was really dislocated?

I jammed my finger playing football today, so i was wondering what the best response would've been: play through the pain, stop and wait, tug on it, ice, etc. All advice appreciated!

My brother got in a fight with this guy who probably is a trained fighter. Half of my brother's face is all swollen up, he couldn't see out of left eye, he have hard time to move his mandible, he's experiencing a lot of pain in side when he breathes, and he cannot walk since his thigh is swollen up from kicks. He says there's blood in his urine too.My brother keep say he'll be ok, but I'm worry. How will I know if my brother has suffered any serious damage or not?

The other guy is only 150 lbs and 5'9 or 5'10. My brother is 6'2 and 220 lbs. The fight last about two mins.

Just last night, I accidentally stabbed myself with a small kitchen knife with a bit of force to the palm of my hand, to the fleshy part near my thumb. The wound is less than a cm wide and it didn't bleed very much but it burned. I am having problems moving my thumb now and there is pain about a half an inch from the wound at the very bottom part of my thumb. Its not red or swollen. Is it possible that I damaged a tendon or muscle and do I need a tetanis shot? I was using the knife previously to core apples. When I stabbed myself, it was because I was trying to cut the hard plastic ties off the package of an apple peeler. Serious answers only please!
