Injuries - January 2007

I live in Michigan.

But ever since I can remember i've had pain in my knee and chronic headaches whenever it either rains, or gets severely cold. Not to mention thunderstorms or blizzards. Most importantly ever since I was in softball, and I slammed my right knee into the base... my knees have been giving me problems. Also, after I broke my wrists (not at the same time, but both were angel fractures... Age 8 and 10) i've had sharp pains in them during all of those said weather patterns. I've tried strengthening my knees and my wrists up, but to no avail. Even bowling is difficult, or picking up heavy objects.

Anyone have any ideas?

i had to get a MRI about 2 weeks ago and had to take my newly pierced cartilage out. i strung it with fishing wire just so there was something in there for a couple hours. but i have an earring in there now. but when i change it, it swells right away and i have to push it through really hard. should i wait a long time to change it again? or what should i do?

yesterday i hurt my ankle when i tripped and fell. when i got home from school my ankle was HUGE, swollen and bruised. i had iced if for a few minutes in the nurses office. my mom made me go to the doctor. it is sprained and may be fractured. (i need to go to another doctor on tuesday) i was walking on it all day but my doctor said i have an extemely "high pain tolerance" so it could have been fractured. if it is fractured and it is a very minor one how long will i have a cast on probably? i am the starting center on both of my basketball teams and really hope i can play as soon as possible when it heals

About a year ago I was on a plane flight and experienced a horrible and excruciating pain in my left ear. Upon getting off the plane my ear bothered me a bit yet was a much more tolerable pain. Soon after that flighht I began to experience cases of feeling very imbalanced - both when standing and sitting that would occur totally randomly and cause to to grab onto whatever was closet in order to stablaize myself from the feeling that I was going to fall over. After going to a ear nose thorat Dr., had a couple tests and was told that I had some hearing loss and also nerve damage in the ear that was bothering me. Dr. told me that the ear is designed to repair itself, although many people suffer with this for years on end to no avail, yet said there was nothing he could do for me. Soudned crazy to me that there was no solution...and a year later my ear still bothers me, often feels plugged, and teh occassional dizzy spell continues. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Two days ago, my friend and I were horseplaying and he ended up falling on top of me, sending me crashing down onto the tile floor head first. I landed on the left side of my head. I didn't lose consciousness, and I got back up quite easily. The only thing is that the side of my head hurt and for the past two days, it's been hurting on the left side of my head. It's more of a throbbing pain and whenever I try to concentrate to study, I can only manage about 1 hour before I can't concentrate anymore. Should I be worried about this? Should I get it checked? Or is it okay and I can just leave it alone?

I've had this horrible pain in my right side, it has been there since last monday, and has only gotten worse. It started my lower right abdomen, but now my whole right side hurts. I've been to many doctors, and had a CT scan and a ultrasound, but my appendix, did not show up on it. They also did a ultrasound to see if I had an ovarian cyst but couldn't find anything. The doctors won't remove it because my white blood cell count seems fine, and it is not showing up on any diagnostic tests, but the pain is constant and has not gone away. They said it could 50% my appendix and put me on a few different antibiotics and gave me pain medicine... I had a fever a few days ago and was vomiting. That has gone away but the pain has not. It hurts really bad to walk up stairs and to laugh, and do many other things. They will prob. do laproscopic surgery on monday, but shouldn't they be worried it could burst before then?!

the other night I was chopping peppers for my dinner and (I was working in a very limited space) and the glass plate fell and cut open my toe. I have a huge cut in my little toe now and it is all swollen from where the plate hit. How long will it take to heal and how long before the swelling goes down?? Thanks.

I was kneeling and then something happened and I couldn't open my leg again. I finally pulled it so it was straight, but it is hard to walk and hurts a lot. What did I do? And how do I make it feel better?

Thanks!

Alright, today was my second indoor soccer game, and we had 2 minutes to go when I had to take a free kick. The moment I hit the ball, the uppermost region of my thigh popped (I could actually hear it pop as well as feel it), and I was in so much pain I had to hobble off the field and leave the game. Throughout the day it has progressed from hurting just where it popped halfway down my thigh. I looked a little bit, and I think it might be a hip flexor but I am not sure. Do you think it is a hip flexor injury, or could it be something else? Please share. Also, how long would it take to heal a hip flexor injury, or even just a muscle or ligament injury? Thanks!

Wednesday around 6pm It was raining outside and as I walked into my job I fell. It happened so quickly I didn't have time to try and break my fall and I slammed down on my right shoulder and arm plus twisted my foot all at the same time. When I got up a while later I had a headache my foot was hurting and sore and hours later I was very nauseous. Now 3 days later my headache is still somewhat there it comes and goes and my foot has a bruise like on the bone where you can see it elevated or swelled in that area it's a small area though. I've been forgetting dumb things like where my keys are and leaving my cell phone places and etc.. I don't remember hitting my head. I don't want to go to the doctor just bc I fell but what should I be looking for to know if I need to go? also my neck hurts on the right when I turn my head right and my right arm is bruised.

I have blood in my stool.
I had soft stool tinged with blood.
Then watery with bright red blood.
It quit for a few days, but my tummy hurt.
Now a few moments ago I had to RUN to the bathroom I had to go so badly.
I bled in the commode AGAIN, then as I finished it ran clear.
Do I call 911?
I went into ER for this before & they did xrays & a rectal check.
They told me I don't have hemeroids, which I do, but not bad ones. They have never bled.
Now this is scaring me horribly!!! Since I had cancer @ age 24 & a full hysterectomy.
They say I need a comonoscopy, but it is the weekend & I can't go into my DR's clinic to be seen & scheduled for one till Monday.

I am alone with my 78 yr old uncle, and have no transportation. My hubby is in the next town over @ work & can't come get me to take me to ER.

PLEASE HELP ... I am now hurting severely in my tummy?!?!?!?!???
