Injuries - January 2007

Instead of a nice little hole over the years (i am only 25) they have been streched down and when I wear small earings they` don't look nice and tehy hang weird. I have had them peirced for almost 20 years can I just get them percied again directly above the old hole? Will the old holes eventually close? How long will it take? Or any other advice you can offer

He works out on elliptical trainer, treadmill, or lifts weights and he's okay. Here's the problem. He plays hockey maybe twice a week and after he's done he is coughing for about 2 hours afterward. It's a dry cough. He and I are just wondering why this happens. Might it have something to do with asthma?

I'm a huge fan of soccer who got injured a couple months ago. At first, I was having some patella tendonitis principles accompained with shinsplints but it wasn't until last November when I twisted my knee by false-stepping on a pothole located in the field. After the audible pop that I heard coming from my knee that day; I haven't being able to run like I used to. Does anybody know about some therapy?

I dropped a ~40 lb dump truck bumper on my little toe, and now it's swollen, purplish, and hurts like crazy! I don't see any signs of dislocation, and I can walk (albeit only using the ball of my foot). Should I just keep the ice on or should I get my mom to take me to the doctor?

Before, I thought I pulled my adductor muscles, but now I think I pulled my hip flexor. I was skating a week and a half ago. It felt pretty good a week ago so I took a little too much advil and skated. I did fine but when I got in the car to go home, it was worse then it was before. It still is lingering and its not as bad. I can run and walk perfectly. I can skate switch fine, which means I use opposite feet to perform the same movements. I need to go back into my sport because I am in the process of going professional. What can I do and in what period of time can I heal this?

i broke my finger on september 9th last year the bone hasnt healed yet and i know it hasnt because the top part of my finger jiggles when i clap my hands

and sometimes when i irritate the finger too much by trying to bend it to look like a normal finger (it droops down) or hitting it on something i can feel the bone moving up against i think a nerve it doesnt hurt its just really annoying like nails on a chalkboard. and it doesnt stop when i leave my finger alone it stays like that for a day or so

i irritated it a little the other day and now on the lower knuckle the one below the broken one theres a red spot i dont think its a bruise but i dont know what it is.

what do i do about this red spot and my finger not healing?

stubbed your toe on something... what about walls... do you ever run into those. i have this HUGE bruise on my arm cause silly me wasnt watching where i was going. its like... the d@mn wall is aiming for you or something. i once got my big toe stuck under (yes under) a door. my dad was outside and i was screaming cause it hurt so f***ing bad. took me forever to get his attention. he had to take the door off its hinges. funny now that i look back on it... still got the scar though. thats what i hate about scars... they never let you forget about some stupid thing ya did.

I sprained my finger yesterday by hitting it off a desk by accident, and my finger went back. So i left school, went to the walk-in and the doctor examined my finger and said that it was just a sprain because I was moving it too well for it to be anything too serious. He didn't send me for x-rays because he said I didn't need one at all. Anyways, he suggested a splint, so he gave me one, as well as to apply ice on it, and to flex it a bit but not too roughly. I've been doing all that, but I noticed that the purple spot on my finger widened a bit [ my finger was normal in color, except for the purple spot by my knuckle ]. It just looks like a bruise. My mum said it was normal because it was healing. Today, I looked again and the purple spot got lighter. So I'm not really sure.

Should I be concerned?

I was in a hummvee accident in iraq in Nov 2004. I had lower back pain since then. Now I've been told I lost some feeling in my left leg and my upper back is real tender so if you touch it hurts. I got an xray from the VA hospital and they say part of my lower spine was missing. I went to military doctor and they said everything was normal but I hurt more when I do exercises or stand and sit for long periods of time. Its been 2 years and it still hurts everyday even if I even stopped medication cause it doesn't work. I'm in Germany now and thinking about going to the doctors over cause they pretty can find anything and keep you in the hospital til they find out whats wrong unlike back in the states.
