I filed a workmans comp claim which was settled. I have been taking medication for my injury since 1996 which controls my dizzines and headaches. I am no longer able to perform on jobs that I qualify for. My question is--- How do I apply for permanent disability. Do I apply through Social Security or California EDD. Which would I qualify for?
I have through my settlment Life time Medical. I am unable to work anymore.

I used ice and benedryl, but still swollen, and my palm is now also sore. I never used pesticide or fertilizer on this plant.

.at your hip socket would you beable to walk or could it be possible that you popped it back into place,when i move my leg in certain directions i can make my hip make a loud pop noise and it makes my leg jump a little,it also hurts if i stand to long..would you have to have surgery if that did happen and later it caused you problems or would therapy work?

I fell on my arm yesterday, I can move my arm,elbow,fingers etc. But I have some swelling above my wrist thats tender to the touch and feels tight (if that makes sense). The rest of my arm has no pain. Could I have broken it? Thanks for your help.

Since I have broken my nose I have beenbreathing in and out through my mouth. When my nose was broken cartliage covered my airways and I started to breath solely through my mouth.Since my nose has been repaired my nasal passage is/are clear but I still just use my mouth. I am quickly out of breath and have suffered in other areas because of this. Do I need to consult a doctor or seek medical advice?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks..

I remember reading somwhere that urine actually stops the stinging and causes the swelling to go down. Come to find out one my friends was watching myth busters, and they said this was a myth. So what would be the best way to relieve pain quick?

I have soreness/tightness and a little pain on the outside of my right knee. My chiropractor said it's probably my IT band because it goes from a little below to a little above my knee. I have been icing it, but what else can I do. It's more nagging and worrisome than painful

A month and a half ago I had a mild hyperextension of the knee, as I was running I tried to make a cut and my toe stuck in the ground and my knee locked back. That was really painful but felt fine after I iced it and didn't have any more probems. I thoguht maybe this has something to do with that.

I was playing football over the weekend and i guess my shoe didnt fit me so my toes were kinda squashed inside as i was running. afterwards i saw my whole big toe bruised. its not the skin thats bruised, its the layer under my toe nail. the color is blackish purple and kind of hurts a little but i still can walk. Should i go see a doctor or will it cure by itself? im hoping i dont have to cut my whole toe nail off :(

It's diameter is only about the size of a quarter, but it's still a nice sized knot in the lower of my back. It doesn't normally hurt, but it does get sore to the touch, probably because since I have discovered it, I haven't left it alone. What could this be?

Unlike my other questions, this is serious. Before you read my story, I want to say that I’ve had a concussion before(during summer program, tripped on fence wiring that didn’t make me fall, but go forward real fast into the ground head first, got up and told my friends I was fine because strangely I didn’t really feel any pain, felt), the doctors said it wasn’t severe(no bleeding or anything) after doing what I believe was a CT scan(I was in 4th grade), but I felt EXTREMELY nauseous and dizzy at the time. In a time period 2-3 weeks later after that incident, I hit my head 2 times maybe, but it was really nothing. I’ve felt fine in my head since then! It’s been 5-6 years.

Also keep in mine when I use the word ‘better’, I really mean less than ok, minor improvement, etc.

Yesterday morning I injured my finger with a basketball. I put ice on it, but the swelling kept getting worse. It's the middle finger on my left hand, I can type, but I can't do much else as I'm lefty. Anyway, the joint and all surrounding area has turned into a dark purple/blackish color. I THINK I'm getting an X-Ray tomorrow, not sure how my mom's dealing with this. I'm thinking I need one soon...the top half of my finger, above the injury, is deathly white, the bottom, where it's not purple, is red. I can move it up and down, but only from the knuckle. Besides that I can't do anything.

What I really want to know is, how can I distinguish between a fracture and a sprain? Also, since the incident, I've been getting sharp headaches in the area behind my ear. Could this have some relation, or is it all psychosomatic?

My son has a fever of 103.6, and it has been there for the last hour. Well, this morning he had a fever of 103, but it broke after tylenol and motrin and a cool bath, however this time I had to give him tylenol and motrin both an hour early, and so far it hasn't broke....... my ???? is should I wait it out until tomarrow and take him to a doctor, or should I take him to the ER tonight..... past experiences with the ER is simple... they sent me home everytime, and I wasted money to go there for nothing.... and then I wuold end up at the doctors a couple of days later.. and since I just gave him tylenol and motrin an hour ago.... I was thinking about waiting a little longer to see if it breaks, and if it keeps going up I'll take him. But my husband on the other hand says to wait, so... if anyone has dealt with this, what will the ER do if not send me home... If I can't get it to go down.. what will happen?? Also my son is 2 years old. Thanks!!!
