Injuries - December 2006

It happened because I was in the locker room and I reached to get something on the floor from my locker and a woman whose locker was above mineleft her door open, so when I shot up I smashed my head into the locker door( these doors are solid cherry wood so it's rock hard) I don't really remmeber what happened in teh next few minutes except that I fell to the floor and my head was in pain for the next half an hour...I know that i should see my doctor but my mom won't take me unless she knows for sure that there's something wrong with me, i only get the sharp pains when I stand up...is it possible that i have a concussion? I've already looked up the symtoms online...

The cyst is so painful I can't hardly walk if I haven't been on it for 20 or 30 minutes. Is it normal not to havea better cure? It takes a lot to get me into a Dr's office. I have a high threshold for pain. I can't beleive there isn't a faster way to cure this.

I work on a computer all day, and I know my workstation is not set up well. I am trying to have better posture, because I know that's part of the problem. I already saw a doctor and she told me I have a slipped disk in my cervical spine and should go to physical therapy, but there's NO way I can afford it. What exercises should I do/devices should I wear?

I got hit by a car today. Not hard; as I was crossing the crosswalk, the car turned the corner and hit me in the back of my right thigh. I fell down but I got up and felt okay, no injuries or anything. I walked the rest of the way home, but now my LEFT leg is going wonky. It doesn't really hurt but I must have twisted my leg when I fell because I can't stand up on that leg anymore, my knee seems to like collapse. My right leg is fine and I can hobble around but I can't really walk very well. I can't imagine anything is broken as there is no reason pain, just a twitch and a sharp feeling and I have to fold my knee. I can hold my leg straight, just can't put any weight on it.
I haven't got a car and anyway it's late here so I won't be going to the doc's or anything, just wondering if anyone knows whether it'll get any better soon?

I went and climbed a mountain back in October. Coming down I sprained my ankle but because I was so near the top, I had to "tough it out" because my Dad nor my two daughters were in any position to tote me down. I am still having ankle pain, especially when I lay down to sleep at night or crossing my feet when I sit. I can walk on it just fine except in high heels. What can I do at home to eleviate some of this pain?

well, today there was a 2 hour delay for school, and my parents had already gone and left when i got up before i knew about the delay, so i decided to go and take my dog on a walk, since i was all ready for school, and i had some extra time, so when i came back i dropped the leash to take my shoes off, but i slipped and my left wrist cought me and that was the only thing that hit the ground (my heels were barley on the floor) and so when my mom called to see if we were all ready for school, i told her about it (shes a nurse) and she said to ice it and see if it still hurts after school, so instead i took an ace bandage and wrapped it, now after school, my wrist still hurts just as much and no one is home besides my brothers, how do i know if my wrist is sprained or borken? do u know how to take the pain away without drugs?

just plain help, plz

i've been diagnosed with mono... about 2 weeks ago. my symptoms have been for about 3 1/2 weeks and they supposedly only last for 3-4. my doctor put me on steroids though, to keep the swelling down, so i dont know if i'm better or not. i'm worried though, because i was active before i came down with mono and i'm afraid that i'm going to lose all of my athletic ability by the time i get completely well. has anyone here had mono and when did you start exercising again?

I have had injuries to my hamstring, calf, and illotibial band and they are all extremely tight. They are so tight that they are extremely hard to stretch without hurting my muscles more, thus making them even tighter. Anyone experienced this or no what I should do? Thanks.

I fell downthe staris in my building and broke, shatter my ankle. Was home with different cast for 6 mohts. After that I went to see the Workers Compemsation doctor and told hime that I could handle the pain with medications and patches.I was released from himand he told me to continue with my own doctor and my own insurace. However the case was never settle. The pain contiue to get worse and medications were making me feel dizzy and ended up with several block injections. This year in June the 9 screws and a plate that I had started to show and come out through the skin. I had to as Workers Comp for permission to get them out. It was totally necesdary. We ended up in Court , sugregry was approved. One week before the surgery a wheel chair faell right on my ankle ended up in the emergency room again. After the metal was taking out I went back for block injecctions. At this time my doctor told me that the inusrance was very upsedt since my case was never closed.

Hey i had an assessment yesterday and in the dress rehearsal on Tuesday i smacked it on the floor (couldnt do anything about it just had to carry on). It hurt but i didnt have any pain elsewhere. There are a few little cuts where i broke the skin and a tiny bit of bruising

Yesterday i was driving home from uni and got this sharp pain about half way between my wrist and my elbow. It keeps coming back today but doesnt hurt continuously.

I dont wanna particularly have to go to A&E because sitting there is seriously boring and its friday night so will be full of drunks!! yay!!!

Any ideas?

When I was 16 & a Jr. in H.S.;I broke my ankle during a JV football game.It was a schoolday afternoon.Emergency room determined that I had a spiral fracture of the tibia & said I would need surgery to "shorten it" & put in a thigh high cast.(It scared me when they said shorten it,cause I thought they were going to shorten my leg.)
I had to stay overnight & I was in a room for 2,but I was the only patient.After visiting hours, an intern -looking guy came in & said he was sent there by the office to do a Pre-Op. He closed the curtain around us.He had a clipboard & asked alot of ques. bout the injury.Then started to perform a physical.He did the usual BP;listened to chest,etc.Then he palpated my torso @ the time was in great shape.(couldn't pinch my abs)Then he removed my briefs.& put his finger up my groin & felt around my privates.He had me turn over.THEN came the anal/prostate exam.After he finished,he turned me over.I was erect,he had strange look of triumph.Was I abused?Hosp. SOP?

I got a really bad blister a couple of weeks ago on my heel and it's been infected for a week or so. I've been cleaning the would regularly by soaking it in warm, salted water and then putting hydrogen peroxide on it. Then, I've been putting Bacterium ointment on it and putting a bandaid on it. But it's still infected. I know I could go to the doctor and get antibiotics, but that type of medication wreaks havoc on my system and I don't want to go that route. Any other suggestions?
