Injuries - November 2006

I stubbed it very hard! It was bleeding under the toe nail. I have put ice on it. It hurts but I can deal with the pain for now. What else can I do first aid wise?

I'm sure plenty of people will tell me that doing so will lead to serious injury, but I don't know, something tells me this isn't the case. I've heard about people advocating the benefits of going barefooted, and I'm curious as to why walking on a treadmill would be any different. I tried to find information online but didn't have any luck. Could anyone tell me exactly why it is so dangerous? Again, I'm talking about light walking, not training for a marathon. :)

I am 13 years old and yesterday I had to lift one of those 28 foot fiberglass ladders to get a ball from the roof so I had to lift the ladder from benith it in order for the ladder to touch the roof (I lifted the ladder like the people who work on big weights). I only lifted it in less than one minute. I did't feel that the ladder was that heavy (although it was 28 foot tall) becuase it was made from fiber glass.

The next day, I felt a horrible pain by the tail bone area and by the lowest part of the backbone.

I only feel the pain when I sit down or bend my body. I wanna be tall when I grow because I wanna play pro BKB when I grow.

Is the pain a sign that I won't grow anymore? Will I stop growing? Will I grow improperly? Please help me!!!

When I was one, I had rhumatoid arthritis, a few years ago (when I was 16) I found out that I had bulging discs in my spine. The pain was intense! I got epidural steriod injections for a long time and I was on physical therapy for about 3 months at no cost to me becuase I was still a child, but when I turned 18 my Partners for Healthy Children benefits ran out (South Carolina). The shots cost about 700 dollars a piece and I obviously can't afford that. The pain is still intense every once in a while. Any programs out there that can help me in SC or anywhere else?

It doesnt feel like its muscle pain its like getting pricked with needles inside your abdomen and lower back area. Its hard to explain but if I move around or bend over or touch the area it does not hurt its only when taking deep breaths.

Its not the worst break in the world and there's not much swelling - but my nose is altered and I would like it back the way it was. What is the procedure that does this and what does it entail?

No jokes about two bricks and a bottle of gin please! ( had enough of those already from family!)

PS It was my 2 year old son who did this to me!

The toe still hurts alot after a few hours. I remember one time I got two fingers caught in the garage door and I ended up losing those fingernails about a week later. When the toenail bleeds underneath, do you always end up losing it?

I can not go to my DR. as there are no openings until the middle of DEC. I went to the ER. and was told it is NOT life threatning so they would not see me. But my belly button is RED and I pored peroxide on/in it and it bubbled up. Can i put anitbacterial cream on/in/around it and cover it? I don't know what to do. I have a very high pain tollerence. so i didn't realize untill it hurt really bad.

hello,
i am an asian male age 21.
i have a small wound near the tail bone area, between the buttocks. it bleeds a very small amount of blood, but does not get healed. i do not recall hurting that area. i discovered it by finding blood on my clothes. it does not pain or burn at anytime, even when using the toilet. i can see a small round tear in the skin in the mirror if i separate the buttocks just below the back(i.e. much higher than the anus). even then it does not pain at all.
also there were no swellings or pain before or after i discovered the wound.

can someone please tell me what to do?

I try to jog at least twice a week. Lately I have discovered that I am hurting my feet alot from running. I have gotten shin splints before, but these seem to happen less frequently now. What I have been experiencing lately hurts alot worse. It feels like I tore something inside the bottom of my right foot. I'm not sure if it a stress fracture, torn ligament, torn muscle. I first felt this pain when I ran 7 miles over a week ago. I gave it about seven or eight days rest and my foot felt fine for the past few days. However, when I tried to run again today, I started to feel the same dull pain in the underside of my foot when my foot would roll. By the time I got halfway through my 3rd mile, I was in agony and had to walk/limp back to my car. Obviously, I did not give it enough time to heal. How long should I wait before running again? Is it mandatory that I see a doctor to determine this? I have new shoes, so I don't think that's a problem. Also, should I stop running on asphalt?

Where can I find statistics on the number of medical claims submitted for back related injuries to auto mechanics? Needs to be specific to auto mechanics.

I woke up in the middle of the night because it felt like some kind of liquid kept running down my throat and I kept swallowing (it was blood), and as soon as I sat up, my nose was bleeding. This hasn't happened in a long time but it has happened before, maybe a year ago. What would trigger it?

Seems to be early in morning. goes away by late morning. Eye lid and brow area. no redness just very puffy. Has it one day, then 3 or 4 days later it's back. Wife is also complaining about bad leg pain and fatigue in both legs. Hands can become extremely cold. She is having all kinds of tests being done. Her blood work came back very good no trouble. They are now asking us to go see an Eye DR. My wife is starting to become frustrated. Any clues?
Thanks

Hi guys, i'm a Handyman (or not so as the case may be) and i managed to fall down some stairs and break bones in my right hand and my 2 wee toes. As i'm self employed i need to mend them asap. Anyone know the best way to help them heal?

I lift weights as well and wondered if keeping taking my supliment shakes would help? Any feedback would be much obliged.

Cheers

I got punched in the face, right hand side, 5 days ago, and I've noticed today that when I apply pressure to the area between my cheekbone and nose (basically at the infraorbital foramen), I have an odd sensation in my face, down to the root of one of my upper teeth. I was thinking maybe it was some nerve swelling. I have no numbness and all my teeth have sensation just fine. Should I see a doctor or is this something that will fix itself?

A few weeks ago I injured my ankle through twisting it n it soon became swollen without noticing. Recenlty I went 2 the foot specialists n they said that I would need 2 get a physio 2 take a look. It doesn't hurt much except if I walk alot alot. Like my ankle is still swollen though. Is this a major injury and can it be treated?

I am a 60 yr old female who works unloading trucks and processing merchandise for a retailer. I "popped" something in my shoulder the other night, and probably have been favoring the right arm. I lifted a 40 lb. box today, and it felt like something tore in my bicep area--hurt a lot!!! Later on, it happened again, and I dropped everything I was holding. Now it aches, the muscle seems to be knotted up, and it has turned black and blue all over the whole muscle area. (Which is LARGE--I have fat, fat arms.) How is this bruising from the inside out? (I did not injure the arm from the outside) I've been icing it. What else can I do?

sorry for long details.

this is what happened. years ago i got a scar on my knee. i have a friend who his mother is a farmacist. when my friend saw my knee, he told me that scar is a sign of a type of disease i dont remember it. i have to remove the scar or else next time if i have any wound on my body it will remained as a scar. is kind of weirdd, so i didnt bother much and i told my mother and she seemed like dont believe me. so i didnt do anything about the scar till today i realise that those pimples on my face have been there for a few month already. and also mosquito bites on my legs remained as a scar. therefore, i conclude that the if i got any other wound they will remained as a scar.

so doctor, what should i do? what is the name of the disease? how can it be cured? can my pimples scar on my face removed?
