Injuries - November 2006

I know there isnt much a Dr. can do for broken ribs. But how can you tell with out going to the Dr. if they are broken? Could they just be brused?

i have chronic severe unmannageable,almost unbearable pain in my writs. Saw two Drs., one was a quack and hit me directly on the ulna bone or the bone directly under my thumb, with a friggen reflex mallet..ASSHOLE. Dr. #2 diagnoased me with severe tendonitis, gave me a steroid shot and has me wearing acebands 2 inches below my elbow. This eased it for a while. Then once again I had to do something so I went to an accupunctoest. Relaxing but not a pain reliever or reduser. PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE DELT WITH 7 MONTHS OF UNDESCRIBEABLE PAIN AND ANXEITY, THIS IS STARTING TO REALLY BREAK DOWN MY LIFE!!!!HELP SOMEONE... ANYONE...

My whole thumb nail has come off after an accident about a month ago - there is no nail left at all. Will it grow back? How long will it take?

Oh and yes, it did blo*dy hurt!

I'm due to have an operation on my ankle to repair the igaments. However, I can't sleep because of the burning sensation on my foot and the physiotherapist, the doctor and the surgeon all nod their heads but seem to think there's nothing to be done about it. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Right before/after sleep it feels like something is immobilizing you and it gets hard to breath, then you try to call for help but there is no sound.

the doctor did surgery anyway he assured me it was safe but in fact I was out on life supports Oct 10th to 16th. I had trouble breathing as I told surgeon that I did have. Do you think i have case for malpractice? I have had mental problems because of this such as panic attacks

I was thinking of Steve Irwin and i'm confused about how he died. I've read some of the questions/answers on Yahoo but they don't explain what happened. It said on the TV that the stingrays Barb went into his heart, what is the barb and where does it come from?

Hi, I've been diagnosed with a muscle strain. Next week I get my tests done to see how bad it is. I think its pretty bad because I've been having muscle spasms in My upper arms,back and legs, also tingling on my upper body and sometimes I sweat in sleep. I already had a MRI done on my spine and no herniated discs anywhere, Went to Neurologst all my nerves check out ok and also had a blood test done at my doctor and everything came back ok. I wanted to ask if someone knows how serious my strain is by symptoms ive described. Also I've noticed the pain goes away to a great deal when I take in Magnesium/malic acid tablets and I've also been taking in Glutamine, Fish Oil, and eating a lot of Banana's because I hear Potassium is crucial to rebuilding damaged muscle. Do you have any more tips on supplements that could help me or should I be doing stretches or something in the meantime? Thanks.

I don't ususually have a problem with my back, but after moving air conditioners last weekend, and then sleeping on a "not so great" mattress for two nights after, an aching back has set in and NOT going away! (Yes, it's lower back.) FYI what I have tried:
Heating pad, heating packs, alternating heat with cold, muscle ointment, pain medication (Alleve), gentle exercise and flexing (although maybe someone would have some specific ideas here?), avoiding any lifting of even medium variety, trying to stay off the computer for most part(!), pillow for support....anyone with other ideas???

PS I have tried chiropractor in the past, and didn't like. Would consider massage therapy, but hoping for other solution before spending time and $$ for massage.

I forget how I hurt my ankle, because I just started weights and strenuous dancing, so I've been quite sore. But anyways I twisted my ankle a little bit more than a week ago, its gotten worse. I noticed yesterday I have a huge lump on the front right side on my right ankle. It doesn't hurt to walk, but it just hurts once i'm sat down from walking or excercising. It falls asleep really quickly and it feels strange when I walk on it. And another weird thing is I'll be sitting down, and all of the sudden it'll be torturing me with pain!! I mean it always hurts at about a 3 on a scale from one to ten, but it'll be a full blown ten!! Please help!!! And also, should I go to a doctor, because I really need a speedy recovery and I haven't been doing RICE.

I have recently developed shin splits. I know ice is good right away, but what is the time limit to ice? I work out in the am and them go to work. Can I still ice when I get home at night or should I be using heat by then.

I broke my foot in 5 places a few weeks ago and had to have surgery. I wore this boot cast for the whole time. I had to take it off yesterday at the doctors because it should have healed, it has not. I now have to have more surgery to sort it out, I have missed at least 3 weeks of school because of this, I'm in year 8 and am doing several GCSE's this year. He has told me that I will be off for another month - I don't want the surgery but I cannot put any weight on it as the bones have slipped out of line, again. Can anyone tell me why the bones didn't fuse? I now have a huge scar running from the top of my ankle to the end of my foot, I don't want another. I told my doctor I don't want the surgery but he kept saying that I would, Can he force me to have surgery? My parents want me to but I really don't, he has also noticed that i have an old injury in my big toe, it was broken and fused wonky, so he's gonna break that and re-set it. but my q is: can he force me to have surgery??
