My right index finger was jammed 6 weeks ago playing volleyball. It still hurts and I can not make a complete fist...when I bend it a lump pops up on my knuckle...moving my finger from side to side is painful, as well as bending it....since its been six weeks, should I even bother having it looked at...will this ever go away????

My 9 year old son just broke his arm 2 days ago.
He is wearing a splint for the next 3 weeks and we have to get x-rays weekly at the hospital until his arm is ready for a cast.

To the parents with experience: how can I make his (our) life easier? What are the tricks to use for showers, getting dressed,
and other daily routines?

I fell at home down stairs but did not sever the ACL, MCL, or PCL. I am taking injectios into the knee of chicken collegen to rebuild the shock absorbing qualities of the knee. Yet I lack strength in the joint to stand from a seated position and to run after my toddler daughter. I need to get this joint rehabed as quickly as possible since my wife is undergoing neck fusion surgery early in December. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yesterday I was playing football when my left pinkie collided with someone's shoulder. Immediately, I felt this throbbing pain that took an hour to go away. My finger swelled up quickly, and by the end of the night, all but the tip was and still is a purplish color. I cannot bend the finger fully, cannot make a fist, cannot straighten it completely out, it hurts a lot and is extremely swollen(despite me putting ice on it). I haven't had it looked at by a doctor yet. Does this sound like a fracture or a sprain? Is it worth getting it checked out by a doctor?

How long should a pulled forearm muscle be rested before it can take stress exercises again.
Bicep curling, not chicken choking for all you jokers out there!
My own fault, cold room, not enough warmup a few weeks ago.
It seems gone, but crops up again from time to time after a workout. I'm guessing it's not completely healed, and it's playing havoc with my arm/backwork.

My 3wk old baby was brought to the doctor because she was very cranky. He checked her out and sent for x-rays. He said that she had a broken femur, a fractured rib and arm. The only explanation was that I swaddled her very tightly with her arms crossed over her chest and her legs crossed. Are there any pressure points on the babies bones and could the swadling have caused such harm? Also I explained that I tripped over a toy and fell with her in my arms. Could that have caused injury?

I play rugby, and last spring during a game, I got tackled and I think my arm was stretched out above my head when it happened. It really hurt that day to the point where I was in tears, and I hate crying in front of other people. Anyways, the pain went a way in a few days, but I've realized that when I do an activity that involves my shoulder (like tennis), it has a lot of pain for about a week after. Also, I can make my shoulder pop and crack about 10 different ways and its really gross. My dad told me that I probably just stretched my tendons because I'm still young and I have to leave it alone for them to go back, but I did that almost all summer. I just want to know if anyone else has any other ideas.

And I dont think i can go to a doctor, because my family has had a few expensive trips to the hospital lately, so my parents would make me wait for a while if i asked .. since its not urgent
