I recently incurred an ankle sprain and some friends told me not to let it get wet until it healed a bit. Is this true?

About one month ago, I went running and after I was done, I had extreme pains going through both of my knees. I run frequently and have never had this problem before. After I felt this intense pain, I took it easy for a day or two. But my knees were swollen, and every time I got up from sitting or sat down, I felt very sharp pains in my knee. After about a week of this, the pain slowly went away. Now after a month a dont feel much pain at all. but i still feel the popping and when i put my hand on my knee and bend it, i feel the popping. is this normal. i bought a knee brace but when i wear it, it tends to make my knee hurt worse. is that normal? the pain is not noticeable much but every once in awhile i get pain. is this just part of the healing process or could it be worse even if there is hardly any pain, even with the popping and knee brace issues that i mentioned?

I was playing Basketball with some friends 1 week ago and took a shoulder in the ribs. It knocked the wind out of me but I was able to keep playing. The pain is bearable but constant a week later. I can't feel any structural damage and Ice helps to dull the pain. Is there any way of checking if the ribs are broken. There is no bruising in the area. My first thought was a bone bruise, but then I thought perhaps I seperated the ribs (if that's possible?)

The biggest problem I have is getting up, it feels like i have a torn abdominal muscle where the rib hurts. Sleeping is uncomfortable if I'm not in the right position. Any ideas or anyone have the same situation?

I can't see a point in going to the hospital as I can't see the doctors doing anything about it except billing me a ton of money.

I landed awkwardly on a friend's foot while playing basketball yesterday, and heard my ankle pop. It hurt somewhat, but the pain was bearable so I didn't stop playing. Got home and put ice and elevated it a while before heading to sleep. This morning, I can walk fine but with a small tickle on the ankle which is even less pain than the one I felt while playing last night, so I can probably play normally.

Is it alright to just bear through the pain and play basketball again or should I just rest and continue (PRICE) until the "tickle" goes away? I have an ankle brace I could use if needed and just bought new high cut shoes. Oh and maybe o/t but is it alright to wet the ankle? Say if I took a shower.

I am going to see a Chiropractor and I would like to know what are the typical rates. Also, what are important questions to ask the doctor. What are the best approaches for a Chiropractor to do for someone who has Carpal Tunnel? Is Active Release Techniques a good approach?

Its been 8 months and the Navy docs really haven't done much, im totally against getting cortisone and would like to seek prolotherapy, spinal decompression machine and or a chropractor. I fear that if the above choices don't work or the Navy won't point me in that direction that i will be medically discharged. If that is so will this discharge greatly effect me getting a job as a civilain, IE firefighting, cop, personal trainer
I have been sent in circles for the last 8 months only receiving electro stimulation pads and hot packs with some back stretchs and exercises. Hey at least you guys know your tax dollars aren't being spent on something useful!!!!
Any help you guys can dish out would be useful
thanks

For the first week I felt pretty good. Every once in a while, I would feel fleeting pains, but for the most part, was thrilled with the results. Now in week 2 since the injection, I feel like crap again. I am due to get another injection tomorrow. Will this ever get better? I've been in pain for 2 years. And yes, I am looking for a quick fix!

My boyfriend the other night was fell asleep on the couch. When he woke up he noticed the time and jumped up to go to the bathroom. After he went to the bathroom he fainted right out in the middle of the bathroom floor. Scared me to Death!! He said he got up to fast & felt nauses and then fainted.

Has this ever happened to any of you? I've never heard of it. I've gotten up too fast before but I just felt a little dizzy & got over it quickly. It just worries me he fainted! Thanks & Happy Holidays!

About 3 years ago I tore my crucial ligament playing football… They had to operate on my knee to realign the ligaments again; I completed 6 months of physiotherapy and was told me knee has fully recovered!

It’s been 3 years now and my knee will still gets very tight and stiff if I walk or stand on it for long periods of time (nothing happens to my right knee) also when the weather is cold outside my knee will be in a lot of pain and once it start to walk the pain gets even worse, I have tried pain killer they do not help. I have been to see my doctor, actually I have lost count now how many times I have been they keep saying its because I am overweight, I don’t believe this to be true as nothing is wrong with my right knee; I just think they are just using my weight against me to stall as the NHS is overloaded and cant take new patient.

Does anyone know what I can do to ease my pain or how to fully recover as its been 3 years now and still I am in pain. Does anyone else suffer from the same problem I have and what have you done to get better? Is it worth me going to a knee specialist and does anyone know how much it will cost?

I dropped something heavy on my foot last night and it hurts really bad. I got shooting pains in my foot and keep getting pins and needles. I dont think the bone is broken although it is sticking up a bit and i cant touch as it hurts so much. The area is bruised. Do you think i should get this checked out?

Thanks!

I had my band practice today and while I was practicing on my mouth-piece ( I'm in the trumpet section) I suddenly could not play.No matter how hard I blast there wasn't a single note that i could play. So as I removed my mouth-piece I felt a strange sensation on my lips.

Upon close inspection I realized it was swollen.. But it was not the usual swollen -- the kind you get during warm-up.. It's like as if it's filled with air bubble. When I touched it it felt kinda jelloid in a way AND it felt numb too.The swollen part was also a different shade of colour from my lips.

So what on earth is that? What had caused that and how do I avoid it in the future? Please do help cause it's kinda scary and it's interfering with my warm-ips.. I couldn't play for an hour till the swelling went down.. (:

Thank!!
