Injuries - January 2007

(using my girlfriend's account) Im not a girl as the picture reflects.

I'm 20 years old, never had a problem, no allergies, no known problems, healthy guy, skinny, never visited a hospital in my life. etc etc
I have this pain in my chest (located right in the middle of my chest) since yesterday night around 1:30 AM in the morning. Worries me because if I deep breath the pain is worse, Well not even a deep breath its likea half deep breath and I feel it already. If I bend over the pain increases and theres a very weird feeling going on when I do which I cannot explain. Its just a weird sensation.

I know I felt this before, but it was a fast pain and it went away, I went to bed yesterday hoping when I wake up it'll be gone but it isn't. I'm worry.

I want to know whats happening in my chest, I want to know or prevent anything that would cause any problem in my health as sooon as possible. If this is a bad thing or a will give me any problem.. I want to work it out fast. Thank you

My brother punched me unexpectedly really hard in the forehead just the other day, he takes karate and I'm a nerd. Just bareknuckle, but it left an extreme bruise. I bent way over backwards from it, to like 90 degrees. Could this have caused any kind of brain injury or damage? AKA should I torture him to death?

My boyfriend broke his leg 10 weeks ago - his tibia, no surgery etc, because it wasn't misalligned, no complications. He got out of his plaster after 8 weeks, without an x ray and put into an aircast, which he can take off. Whenever he walks anywhere without it, or tries to drive - even a short distance, the swelling goes up and he has to ice it because it's sore. Is this normal when starting to use a bone which has been damaged? He was told to walk on it as much as possible with the casts - he was given a walking cast straight away, and has been off crutches for weeks, drs said walking will help it heal. Could he have re-injured it again for it to be swelling or does his leg just need to get used to being active? Got a consultant appt in 2 weeks, when he should be getting his cast off completely...seems to me like he shouldn't be in this much pain anymore.

I had a spinal fusion done 14 days ago today the operation took a total of five hours with an additional two and half hours of recovery, I would like to ask has anyone had this done and what was your recovery time, each day I`m getting stronger. I did lose the use of my leg or it was`nt as it was prior to my operation although it is coming back now and I can walk fairly well considering a week ago I could`nt move it.

Thanks.

I'm just cruious, I need to get information -medical that is, and I was thinking about calling Children's Hospital, but then again, I thought, maybe I could just contact my physician, since I felt that they too should have the records, since they are the ones that I see yearly. So, am I wrong? I'm just curious, and who at the hospital would I speak with about my records?

About two and a half months ago, I jammed my pinky finger into a person's shoulder. I had it x-rayed two days later which revealed it wasn't broken. I taped it up(that's what the doc told me to do) and untaped it a few days later. After a week or so, it felt fine, although some days it hurt really bad. The bruising lasted for well over a week after the initial injury.

A few days ago, the pains returned in my pinky. I'm a guitarist and now I can't play the guitar with my pinky because it hurts too much to bend it. My mom said maybe it's arthritis. Is it possible to develop arthritis because of a bad sprain? Or is it possible something else is causing my pinky pain?

I was crossing the road, I saw the car coming, but they were going too slow to be of any danger, but I still jogged over the road, but the car sped up and barely hit me on my ankle, sending me spinning around and landing on one knee on the floor, I got up and felt fine but with a mild limp.

When I got home I cleaned the wounds on my knee & back of my ankle and noticed that my ankle had started to swell. so I applied ice (wrapped in a cloth) to the area for an hour, and had a warm bath.

Now ankle is starting to hurt, and my limp has gotten worse.

How long can I expect before the pain is mostly gone, and I can walk freely without much of a limp again?

I accidently ruptured the one on my wrist and now (not surprisingly) it hurts like hell when I move my hand. I've read that people used to treat cysts by hitting them with a heavy book, but I can't find anything on what happens after a cyst ruptures. Anyone know what is normal?

I broke my ankle in October, had a cast on for 4 weeks, wore a brace for 5 weeks, and my ankle is still swollen more than a month from no longer needing the brace. This is the first time I ever broke my ankle.

with one of my mates I didn't do any warm ups as we both decided to do it on the spare of the moment. I was wearing trainers and was fine whilst walking for that period of time as I go to the gym often but must admit warm up properly.

Since yesterday morning I have very sore calves, ankles and thighs and feel very weak and tired with flu like symptoms. I have used deep heat to ease the pain but it doesn't really help. I have booked a doctors appointment for friday.

Apart from resting what can I do to help ease the pain and weakness and how long will it take for pain to heal?

I went in for my back pain today, and I was prescribed 3 medications after a thorough and painful examination: Medrol (a steroid 6-day dosepack) Robaxin (muscle relaxer) and Vicodin (pain releiver). I was also given a shot that did take the edge off the pain I have been in for 4 days, but it did not releive it completely.

Anyway, I read over all this medication information, and I am afraid to take the vicodin. Hubby and I usually have a glass of wine with dinner, and I am afraid so much acetominophen (500 mg per tablet and I am directed to take 2 tablets each dose) is going to be harmful. Of course, I have no issue with forgoing wine with dinner at alldue to the medication, but since I have drank a glass with supper some nights for many months, will this medication harm me? I don't drink to excess and rarely have more than 2 glasses, and it's not every night.

Plus, has anyone out there ever used this medicine (Vicodin 5/500) ?? I am afraid to take it but I am in very bad pain.

If we know the gene strains that make us age would it be possible for us to reverse the process of aging or eventually turn it off, if so what effect would this have on the planet? would we still need to have children?

We were playing football inside in gym class. I fell and landed on my ankle and foot. I feel fine except for the one part of my foot feels tender if I try and stand on it. The nurse put my on these old crutches that keep falling apart on me (arrggg) anyway. She said if the pain gets any worse I should go home. I really don't want to.. what should I do?
