Injuries - January 2007

After wearing a new pair of shoes the other week began to feel a pain at the back of my heel when when walking home from work. I though t the pain was a blister but on closer inspection it seemed i had a red lump sticking out the back of my heel.

This was about 2 weeks ago and the pain still pursists. I have looked this up on the internet and have self diagnosed this as heeel bursitis.

I have tried using padding in my heels and taking Anti-inflammatory's but this has had little effect.

I have no pian when i'm not wearing shoes but as soon as i start walking in any hard backed shoes the pain is excruciating. I can now only wear a piar of soft converse trainers to walk in.

Any advice on how long this will last and what i can do to help recovery?

So this is kinda wierd....For some reason when I go running, my two toes that are beside by big toe always get blisters on them. One week I ran extra (every day), and I must have put too much pressure on the toenails, because they died and fell out by themselves. Well one grew back just like it was before, but the other one grew back all wierd. It grew back all thick and bumby. It didnt grow back all straight and normal, it grew up (if that makes sense). Well it has probably been like 8-10 months, and I have waited to see if it would fix itself, but it hasn't. So, the other night I pulled it out, hoping that it would grow back normally like the other. Now I am afraid that it won't grow back at all. Any advice?

My roommate just sharpened up his skates and to play some hockey for the first time in many years. He went to the park just to skate around but there were already people there and asked him to play a game with them. He did and had fun but said he was extremely tired afterward and said he felt like he could barely drive and and almost had to throw up. All of that soon went away and the next day he went back and had the ice to himself. he said he did some sprints and felt fine but just winding like he just got done running. He said he felt that way all day. The next day he woke up and said it felt like someone kicked him in the chest and that feeling lasted all day. He seems normal and still went to work at an office but just has chest pain. He says he is going to go to a doctor if it's not better tomorrow but knowing him I doubt he will unless he can't breath. He is 23 and in pretty good shape I would say. He used to bike 25-40 miles every other day in the summer.

It happened a few times to me.. When riding regular stance hitting a jump and casing it.. my right foot(rear foot) seemed to overcompress my ankle, it hurt like a mother for a while... and the pain subsided, I tightened my boots and bindings as much as possible. to give it support. I've been reading about the bones there, I think it could be the talur or some type of flexor..I'm having sporadic pain with certain range of movements such as crouching as a baseball catcher could cause acute pain enough to make me loose balance, Other than that I'm still completely active..I'd like to heal this soon..Thanks in advance for any help.?

I twisted my knee, and it's much better but I've found that I'm afraid to use it. Is it all in the mind or is it really a warning?

OK, I hurt my knee in gym class and It started to swell and get red. It hurt below my knee cap. I went to the doctor and he said i might have torn a ligament. It also couldn't walk on it. He sent me to an orthapedic and when we got there he said i had a permature patella inflamation. He said to rest it. That was all. He did take x-rays but not an MRI or any other thing. After a couple of days it was better. But since then It has just getting worst! Right now It is killing me and I am lying in my bed. We are probably going to go to a diffrent orthapedic and i will probably get an MRI. What else can I do to help it heal? Does anyone have any Idea what it might be or any websites on info? What is an MRI and what r the procedures? Plz help me i am stumped. My mom keeps telling me to take these homiopathic pills. This has been going on for 2 and a half weeks

Things I have done to try 2 stop the pain:

Rest it
Elevate it
Wrap it
Ice it
Put cream on it
Not walk on it (hopping on one foot)

I always seem to cut myself shaving (unintentionally). I realize I need to be more careful, but other than that, how can I speed the healing process of the cuts I already have? are there any home remedies or store-bought medicines I can use?

I cut my finger with a razor blade last month, and im not sure im up to date on my tetanus shot, i think i am, but not 100%. I cleaned the wound, then bandaged it, and then changed and cleaned it until it healed. I was wondering if i may have tetanus. I've been having neck pain for a few weeks, and some back pain, and i was wondering if i thats a side effect of having tetanus. I went to my doctor last week, but i forgot to tell him about it. they took blood for other reasons, two vials, and they did some tests, and they said im fine, nothing wrong with the results. Would Tetanus show up on the blood tests? Let me know. NURSE'S OR DOCTORS ONLY

I've had lower back pain for about a year and a half now. It started after a martial arts tournament and ever since then I've experienced pain in my lower back right above my buttocks and about two inches from my spine on either side. I also found two lumps/knots in the area. My lower back and thighs/hamstrings feel trembly and weak from time to time as well, almost to the point where they may just buckle on me.

I have been to numerous doctors and none of them have been able to give me a clear answer as to what these lumps are. I've had numerous MRIs and X-rays as well, all of which showed that everything's "normal." Please help if you have any insight! Thanks!

My finger was smashed in the car door two days ago. The door fully latched with my finger inside. Extremely painful and was immediately swollen with blue color. It was twitching for a few hours also. Color has gone away, but still somewhat swollen. I Can move it, but still hurts to the touch or bending/grabbing items. It was between the top and bottom knuckles. Anyone think this will go away or is a doctors trip necessary
