Last winter, around X'mas time, I developed sore ribs on the right side (am right handed). It felt like I fractured a rib or bruised one. I was very busy with X'mas preps at this time and thought I must have bumped into something. It ached like hell for 3 weeks! Then it went away. Now, its back again and I know I did not bump into anything; although I had been very busy with moving house. I am 52. Has nayone else ever had this happen to them? If so, what did you do apart from taking Ibupofren? Will appreciate any info.

Well about 2 weeks ago i started working out alot more and breakdancing alot more. I have been using my arms a lot. I am 18.. in my prime.. i should be able to take a beating. Well all of a sudden my elbows ( like the tendons) started hurting and everytime i would open my arm it would crack (or pop however you call it) I asked a older friend and told him the situation.. he said it was probably growing pains from working out alot.. i didnt believe him so i am asking a wide opinion. What do you think? Is it growing pains or did i really mess up my elbows by breakdancing and working out.

My left knee clicks when I go up the stairs. It also hurts very badly when I sit in a chair for too long. I sometimes wakeup with this intense pain in my knee and bending it doesn't help as it does with a "charliehorse" or whatever. I have trouble getting down the stairs because It feels like I am putting too much pressure on it.
If you know something about this please help!
Thanks

She was in a motorcycle accident 5 months ago and is paralyzed from the waist down. She recently has "regained muscle control" of her stomach, (she can voluntarily contract her own stomach muscles) and she said shes regained some feeling in her lower back. This past week she has had a burning sensation in her lower back and bottom. Are these good signs? We're all rootin' for her to walk and surf again. What % of a chance do you think she has of walking again?

How do I explain to my mom that my ankle can indeed be broken?? She keeps saying, "No it's just bruised".. and won't take me to the Fremont Medical Center to get a X-Ray.. I can't even walk on it, nor put weight on it... I fell on my skateboard, if that matters...

Help please!!! I can't miss anymore days of school!

In P.E. I messed up my thumb some how and nobody thinks that I really hurt it except for the fact that it is swollen and it hurts to move. The best way I can think of to fix this is to have my thumb immobolised for a long period of time in a cast so I can't move my thumb which means I would have to break my thumb so my mom will take me to the doctors. But I need to break my thumb by the end of November so it will be better intime for a school sport. I also need a believeable story to tell my mom how i broke my thumb because it might sound funny saying i intentionally broke my thumb. Thanks!!!

My 9 year old son dropped a weight on it a few months ago and it turned black & a new nail is growing underneath. I assumed the old nail would just fall off. However, in the last week or so, it has started to smell VERY bad. I tried scrubbing it but it hasn't helped. Should he see a doctor or is something over the counter that can help him?

My mom fell down at my wedding about 3 weeks ago ( it was raining and she was running to get out of the rain and slipped on her elbow). Now i came back from my honeymoon and her elbow is distorted and discolored. I told her she needs to go to a doctor but she is scared now, what should I do? She thinks it will heal by itself.

I have a herniated disc in C4 and C5. Have been receiving wcb for about 2 weeks. Will wc stop paying and taking care of appt. if they think it was caused by deginaration?

My brother-in-law has a herniated disc and collapsed disc in his back but no health insurance. He has gone to the ER on numerous occasions and all they will do is write prescription for steroids and pain killers. We are trying to find a way for him to get the problem fixed. All the ortho. surgeons we have tried expect payment up front or health insurance, neither of which is an option.
HELP! He is so much pain he can barely move. He is only 22 yrsd old and can't even work or live on his own. We live near York, PA.

I injured my ankle last wednesday and after a trip to a&e found that it was a grade 2 sprain (slight tear of ligaments but not severe). I kept it elevated with ice on for both thursday and friday and have been walking around a bit this weekend. Does anyone reckon that i could be back at school tomorrow or should i still not be using it normally?

Every time i take a new step my knee starts to hurt more. It constantly feels like it is going to collapse. I dont wanna tell my parents because they wont take it seriously and if they do they will over react. My phys. Ed. Teacher used to be a sports injury doctor but decided to become a gym teacher. I am gonna ask him to look ast it tomorrow. What do i say? Where? When? and most importantly i dont wanna bother him...will he be mad??

ok, please don't think im wacky.

i cut my finger pretty bad yesterday with tin snips (blades strong enough to cut through stainless steel) my brother applied pressure and put it on ice to stop bleeding, it was a while before i was able to bandage it. it was ok overnight but now is hurting again, the gauze is stuck and am afraid it'll start bleeding again if i peel it off. should i go to a doctor? i don't have insurance and dont want to go un-necessarily.
