i have been given a harness to keep my back straight and arm sling to minimize movement. the last xray shows separation, that is, space between the broken parts of the bone. doc says 98% success of healing.

I know you should report it right away. I thought my back was just sore(I put away freight all night). The next night I couldn't stand long enough to make dinner, and called off. The following night I went to work, thinking it was getting better. Within a few hours I just wanted to cry. I was getting sharp shooting pains and my thigh started going numb. Then my calf started cramping as I was walking. Now my hand feels tingly(same side as numb thigh). I want to go to the doctor tomorrow, but I can not afford it. I am somewhat worried. This all started on Sunday night. My company ( a tempory agency) is self insured. Is it to late to get them to pay for the doctor? Thanks for the help!

I've been told if i just take my piercing out and let the hole close up that it will become an infected cyst or something. When it ripped through my pierced hole, it made my hole as big as the flower i had in it.

I was in a car accident about 7 hours ago. I don't remember the actual impact, but the front of my car was totalled, so I must have moved, even though I was wearing a seatbelt. My neck hurts and I have a headache, but I had a headache before the accident. My neck often hurts, but this feels different. I feel a bit groggy, but nothing out of the ordinary. Could I have whiplash? Is there any way to know without seeing a doctor? I have a check up in two weeks, but should I move it up? Also, would it be okay to go to sleep?

I had a sebaceous cyst removed from my chest in November. Now, two months later, the wound area from the cyst removal is still not healed. I went back twice to get the disolvable stitches removed that did not disolve and also had the wound cauterized twice with silver nitrate to help kill the infection and to heal better. It does not seem to have gotten any better and I am starting to question my doctor. I want to see another doctor about this, but I don't know what type of doctor to see. The doctor that removed the cyst is a general surgeon. I do not know if I should go see another surgeon because there is nothing to do surgery on now and I don't know if I should see a general family doctor because they usually just refer you to another doctor and I don't want to pay a general family doctor just so he can tell me to see another type of doctor. Any suggestions on what type of doctor I should go see? Thanks.

I am an 18 year old male who started running a couple of months ago. For this past month, I have had shooting pains in leg (particularly in my ankle), after I run. I take a multi-vitamin everyday, I have aasics gel running shoes and I only run for a mile on a track 3 times a week. The pain is only in my right leg. Why do I get these shooting pains in my right ankle?

When I woke from surgery my skin was palor unlike pre op.I have good color in my skin I've been extemely dizzy,confused,severe abdominal muscle contractions .I've had nurmerous surgeries for the same issue ,but none with these debilitating complications 3 months out .First I just thought it was the anathesia after 2 months went by apparently I was wrong ,along with the incision I don't know who to go to , The surgeon said to see a neurologist . It can't possibly be neuro I think he's just trying to pass the buck. I also had a CT of the Ab wall which was unremarkable ,maybe some of the symptoms are neuro ,but absoltely not the cause .Any knowlegeable suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

About 3 months ago my 11 month old son dropped his bottle so I put him on the counter and bent over to pick it up needless to say he fell head first and my back broke his fall! I thought at first It was just a bruse or maybe a pulled muscle but it is still hurting . I went to the ER to day and the doc said it wasnt the bone itself but I need a MRI to see if its a ruptured disc or compressed! Now after he has poked on it it is killing me. What do you think it could be! Please help, Im in pain. Thank you

I heard something pop sorta outaplace, then a secon later it poped back in. It wasnt that bad when it happened cause i just kept on playing. But as soon as i came home i sat down and i felt some pain to bend it. The pain isnt that bad, but ive heard stories about things that could get worse. How long should i wait to see a doctor, or should i just suck it up and go play some more Rugby!! thats what im leaning toward at the moment.
