Today at school I went to track practice and pushed myself a little- my leg was a little sore but it was nothing to worry about

Then at swim practice my coach wanted me to work harder and I pushed myself 100%. At the last lap of practice I get this KILLER leg cramp. I couldn't even get up and walk around...I had to hop out of the pool and to the showers on one leg!

I wouldn't really care about this normally, but I have a TRACK MEET tommorrow and it is my first one. I want to do well, but I can't run with such a bad cramp.

I have already tried stretching it out. It got a little better, but I still cannot walk without it hurting. I'm planning on putting Bengay cream on it and a heating pad. Then I'm gonna take some advils and hope for the best tommorrow.

Please help me. I need some miracle medicine or advice on what to do. Any quick fixes for leg cramps?

two nights ago (saturday the 9) i was at a party dancing barefoot and this girl STOMPED on my foot with her heels on!!! I was limping for a while but then i just decided to forget about it, even though it still hurt. My toe is now, two days later, black and blue and purple all over and its swollen and there is this weird indent/bump in it (in two different spots) and i just put ice on it. How do i know if it really is broken/ fractured? If it is, will i have to use a splint? thanks!

I am not totally sure, but I think I might have fractured the smaller top joint of my right ring finger... It hurts really bad and is swollen. Is there anything a doctor can do versus putting a splint on it and calling it a good day, because I can do that. Or is there other reasons I should go get it checked out...

I have had Bell's Paulsy 3 times. At ages 8, 16 and 24. I am worried that it reoccurs every 8 years considering that has been my history. Have you ever had it? And has every nerve or facial function returned normal? Because evry time I have had it, when it heals, something is left behind. Nothing is symetrical anymore. Any advice?

A few weeks ago, my pinky finger turned black and blue. It swelled up and was painful, not at the bottom or the tip, but the bone right under the nail. I have little swelling and no more black and blue, but it is crooked/bent? Is it broken? Should I apply ice, tape it?

I do not have health insurnace until March, so I have to rule out a doc at this time.

If you have a mildly broken middle-toe on your foot, is it ok to just put a splint on it and let it heal? I stubbed my toe on a door and its very bruised and feels slightly broken. I am just curious if its ok to just splint it and forget it...lol, write back!!

I recently had a back injory at work and because I couldn't identify the movement that caused the injory, I won't be getting paid. I told my boss that the injory happened through the corse of the day and didn't notice it till I'd rested and felt the pain.

Knee hurts when for example I'm trying to take my shoes off by stepping on the heel of my right shoe with my left toes and pulling up with a "bending" motion of the leg. If I keep my leg straight and pull up there is no pain. There is no pain when walking or jogging, there is pain when trying to accelerate and decelerate from a sprint. The pain is in very deep in the back of my knee. It also hurts if I try to bend my right knee inwards and sit my right foot on my left thigh. I can do squats and lunges without pain. I can lie down on my stomach and bend the knee through its full range of motion all the way to my butt without pain. Basically it only hurts under load, when bent almost to the limit under load or when bending toward the inside of my body. Another example of pain is when I am lying on the floor, put my right foot on a table and attempt to lift my hips off the ground using the foot as leverage.

My cat had a large bump on her back, so the vet said they should keep her and drain the puss out of the bump. They pretty much strung a "rope" of gauze through the bump, but when i got home tonight she ripped it out with her mouth. Now it's an open wound with some fresh blood, she didn't seem to be bleeding anymore. Tomorrow morning she goes in to have the little gauze piece removed. What can I do to solve this? Realistically.
