Injuries - January 2007

Is is possible for a lighter to explode in yor face and cause severe burns 1st and 2nd degree?
my son said he was lighting a cigarette and it expolded and burned his facial hair off and caused skin to peel off and eyes swell. he went to E.R. and was given morfine and ointment.

Last May (in 2006), I fell down the stairs and got a very bad bruise on my hip. It had some moderate swelling, and it didn't look very pretty, but the pain was bearable, and it was just in that isolated area. After a few weeks, the discoloration caused by the bruise went away, but the swelling, though it had gone down some, stayed. Now, in January, it is still slightly swollen in that spot, and sometimes I feel a mild pain there if I turn wrong in bed or something. Nothing has gotten worse or anything, so I don't see a need to have it checked out by a doctor, but I still want to know why this might have happened. Is it probably just trapped fluid or something?

When I put weight on my left knee when I am walking of giong upstairs, I feel a jolt of pain, as though something has moved out of place. It isn't that painful, but I feel it and it makes my leg twitch. It just started about 5 minutes ago and has never happened ever before. Will this eventually just go away?

Lets say your parachute didnt open. Could you not land feet first and do a roll or something. I am guessing lots of you will say your legs bones will go through to your chest or something. OK then how far can you fall without dying if you are a grown adult and are going to land in a field and trying to land feet first :D

Hey

Got pins in my elbow after I broke it this weekend. My arm's in a cast. I am curious why my hand looks swollen. It's not red or feverish. Is it water, or blood or some sort of corset-action by the cast. Should I be worried? It looks ugly as sin.

The new research says Do Not Sit Up Straight Do you think that research is correct The video on that research is on this site http://health.groups.yahoo.com/groups/upright_mri I understand that you must validate your pain otherwise Drs. and Lawyers will not believe you and take your case Did that scenerio ever happened to others ?

i twisted my ankle last week and its still quite painful. it is quite tender if touched or knocked and hurts when i walk. should i bandage it up to restrict its movement or just leave it alone and take some painkillers? i work as a teaching assistant so my job is quite active, which doesn't help when i'm trying to rest my ankle up!

also, what is the best way to bandage something? does it need to be quite tight or will that just make it worse? any other remedies welcome!
