Injuries - November 2006

i got into a fight about a month ago and the area between my left pinky nuckle and wrist has hurt since. the description is similar to the symptoms of a "boxer's fracture", but i'm almost certain that my hand is not fractured (because the pain is very minimal).....if u have experience with this let me know how long it took your hand to heal and how your hand functions today....thank you

I have numb tingling feeling in my thumbs index and middle fingers. I cannot grasp things very well. I write a lot and use computer 4+hours a day. I heard you don't have to have a certain injury or cause for it to happen

while doing some splits exercises like the lunge stretch. I think i accidentally pulled the area on my right leg where the leg meets the body. It hurt mostly on the first day, but it getting a little bit better--i think. And everytime i get up from a sitting position, the bone there seems to snap back into place or something X.X. Do you think i can rehab it myself...or..?

I went to a doctor originally who diagnosed hematoma and said it would heal on its own. It pretty much has, but it's still very lumpy and painful to touch. Would massage help?

i was in a car accident, and i went to the chiropractor, and he said that he is worried about the disk in my lower back. i had a mri done and it just showed that the fluid in my spine is dehydrated. i have an appt with a surgeon tomm. what do you think is going on? i had the accident 2 months ago, and i keep knots anywhere from the size of golf balls to the size of a softball. and it hurts when i lay down, its like there is a catch in my lower back. and sometimes the back pain is so bad it hurts down into my right leg, heat /cold therapy does no good. i had the tins unit and ultrasound done for a month and neither did any good. i just dont know what to expect going to the dr tomm... if anyone else has had this problem or know anything else about it. please give me some advice. THANK YOU!!!!

Hello all,

Jus want some advice. The two toes that are the closest to my big toe have all of a sudden started hurting kind of like a dull throb that is from the ball of my foot to the tip of the toes. I do not recall injuring them....wonder if tendonitis could cause it...anybody have any input.

I plan on going to a doctor but just wondering if anybody has had any similar experience thanks--jammie girl

Probably a slight tear, but hard to walk today with a moderate amount of swelling -- having trouble walking and going up stairs. And I know, go to a doctor.

I'm 13, and since my mom refuses to take me to the docter to get a X-Ray on my ankle that could indeed be broken, as I can't put any weight on it, nor can I stand on it, and if I move it in the wrong wat, it turns into pain... I fell on my skateboard... and my mom keeps saying, "Walk on it, you need to stop babying it" ," You don't need to go to the docter".. and all negative stuff like that..

and well, if I call a friend for a ride there.. can I use my mom's insurance? Or does she have to be there..??

Help guys please!!!

Could it be broken again, or is it arthritis?

Whats the best thing to do? A bandage?

It's really hurting.... :(

Who do I go to, to have this removed? Soap and water won't do the trick either. The joints in my fingers has gotten thicker through the years,and a few extra pounds on me. The ring just barely moves maybe an eighth of an inch and stops. Does the jeweler do this? Hope I don't have to go to the doctor. I'm getting a new band for Christmas this year. The old ring doesn't pinch, I know I need help removing it though.
Thanks for any feedback.
P.S. Couldn't find a category to put this question under.
