To help you, I created a timeline of my misfortune:

Dec. 22: Injured my shoulder (probably in the weight room)

Dec. 25: Arm-wrestling made the injury worse (NOT good!)

Jan. 8: Did some shoulder stretches.

Jan. 9: I woke up to a very painful shoulder, which got worse throughout the day. At the peak, even putting my arm in my pocket would cause significant pain. An X-Ray showed nothing noteworthy.

Jan 23: Significant increase in mobility since Jan 9. No pain normally felt, unless I make sudden movements, or stretch (esp. reach behind back). While running the past couple weekends, I noticed an occasional pop in my shoulder accompanied by small popping sound (sort of like when you crack your back, but quieter). Certain stretching movements cause pain down almost to the elbow; some movement causes light tingling/pain to extend to my finger/thumb), and can produce intense pain. If I do the arm-wrestling position and apply force to my arm, then I produce pain in my shoulder.

So I just got back from snowboarding and I had felt that I almost twisted my knee out there. I ended up wearing a brace the rest of the days of snowboarding. Its been a week since ive been back and im having a lot of pain in that knee. Have i twisted it? or is it fractured? I can walk on it but its very painful, just laying or sitting and doing nothing I can feel pain. Should I go to the doctor or chiropractor? Or is it something to where I can just take some medicine and let it heal on its own?

I was out playing hockey and my friends noticed the tip of my nose was pure white. I couldn't feel it and it felt like rubber. Ever since that night my nose does this if I am in the cold too long. I don't know why it keeps happening. I don't know if the broken nose damaged blood flow or if once you get frost bite you always get it.

I have a cut on my calf. It's dark pink/red about an inch in either direction all the way around it, and goes to light pink, then yellow. This has spread to about three inches out from the cut. Very puffy and hard. I can't walk very well, and my entire leg is sore all the way around.

I've been using peroxcide and putting a dressing on it, but it's gone from just a little red as of yesterday morning to this oozing, discolored mess today.

Two nights ago we went out to a bar with some friends, and I drank WAY WAY WAY too much. I don't remember much except going to the bathroom, then waking up to my mom shoving her fingers down my throat forcing me to vomit up the excess alcohol, then i must have blacked out again because I woke up naked in the bathtub at my home with no recollection of how I got there and also found out upon going to the restroom that I had a black eye and lots of bruises on my body. My head still hurts really really bad, not just my eye but my entire head is throbbing and I still feel nauseous...Could I have a concussion or am I still feeling the effects of the alcohol or what? Don't get on to me too bad, cuz I have sworn off alcohol, I am never ever drinking again and I truly mean it. It's stupid, and childish and expensive. I just want to feel normal again.

I have a HORRIBLE pain in my hand. It goes from my wrist to between my thumb and index finger. It's constant. I cant even do simple things like open a jar of peanut butter. It started a few years ago but it would be a random thing that would happen maybe a day or two every maybe 6 months. But now for the past month it's been constant and today has been the worst. Could I have carpel tunnel or somthing else? I read about it but it doesnt seem like what I have. I kept reading about a tingle feeling and I dont have that. I'm considering going to the doctor, which I really do not feel like doing but it's getting horrible. Can I just go to a regular doctor or like a nerve doctor? I don't know if thats exactly what the problem is. Thanks!

Sorry for the choppy sentences, it's very not me but it hurts to just type this.

Well, im 19 and what I heard is that we stop growing at the age of 16. I got into an accident and injured my 5th digit toe (pinky toe) & it healed just fine although it's slightly bent & I was wondering if I were to bandage it up would it still move in the direction I wish to move it?

My husband and I have this ongoing argument I had a sprained ankle and a fractured fibula, hairline fracture, It has been a week since this happened and my ankle is still swollen and bruised. I drink vodka and cream soda mixture at night every night to relax me from this discomfort. He says I won't heal because of the drinks is he right or is he just trying to scare me?
