Injuries - January 2007

My husband has SEVERE Degenerative Disk Disease in his spine. As of last week he got to the point where he could not walk and was in so much pain that I had to take him to the Emergency Room. He was literally unable to move his legs at all. All the hospital did was give him a shot and a few prescriptions for pain and sent him for an MRI. When they got the results the doctor who had never even met my husband before said that it did not look like he had any new problems and walked out the door so fast that my husband could not even open his mouth to ask him how he could know that since he had never even seen him before, much less all the other MRIs he has had. A short time later they gave him his discharge papers and called me to come and get him.

I could not believe it. It took two nurses to get him into my small car and no one even asked me if had any help at home to get him out and up the steps to our home. At home it took him more than two hours to drag himself out of the car.

Do you think that something bad is going on??? I just got done getting oral sex from my girlfriend, after she had finished me, I noticed that my penis was turning blue, now it's black. Should I go to the ER??? After all, I only have one penis.

i got a deep glass cut on the instep of my right foot, about an inch long, that was nearly two weeks ago, i have been to the hospital and had three stitches which recently were removed..i have done everthing, rested, ice, elevation, the works.. but i still dont have feeling along the side of the wound.. im also finding it difficult to move it, although there is some movement..

im concerned because 6 years ago i had a similar accident at work involving my hand, leaving my thumb completely motionless and numb forever because nerves and tendons had been severed.

I'm not sure what to do??

Torn inferior glenohumeral ligament (what does this ligament do?) and synovitis (i believe this is just fluid, correct?) osseous and cartilagenous (injury of the cartilage?) chronic injury of the posterior-inferior bony glenoid (this is a joint right? and chronic means it's an old injury?) trace amount of subacromial bursal fluid (is this just fluid built up from the tear?)

I went to Docs,and told doc of having someone Pop out under my left bra line area.He told me it's a rib,that has become loose.This is VERY PAINFUL when it happens.He told me he could do nothing about it.This happens when sitting on couch,laying in bed,doing house-hold chores,etc.Went saw another doc,took xrays.told me rib itself is ok.But maybe cartridge doesnt hold onto it,says also,nothing can be done.Going back to docs today,(getting upset at doctors).I have always,and still am working labor job,this doesnt help,but doc says its alright to do so? When this happens to me,Pain is Very Intence! Has anyone ever heard of this? This has been happening for yrs now,but in last yr or so,has become more often,and much more PainFul.

What could be causing this? It feels a bit like somethings stuck in my throat, and it feels more muscular than like a sore throat. Had it for about 2 days now.

I was injured on the job. I work for a small company and the owner is a nutjob. She would just soon fire somebody who file's workers comp. I injured my neck really bad, however I work every day. I do however take off maybe once every two weeks to visit a doctor. I have always been a salaried employee. She just changed me to hourly and will be docking my pay while visiting the doctor. I am so irritated... I hurt so bad every day when I leave. I'm not too sure what to do. The people I work for are not familiar with the laws and employee's rights. Can they lower my pay while on worker's comp? Can they deduct for my doctor's visits? Help!!!

The week before Christmas I fell: my legs slipped from under me and I went straight down on my backside before I had a chance to hold onto something. It was sore but I got up and walked on immediately without any trouble. However when sitting down for a while or driving I get pain in my coccyx (had to look that up, tailbone) and much pain in the left pelvic bone. The last one makes walking quite painful and it doesn't seem to really go away with resting. Could this be because of my fall and what can I do, could something be wrong with the pelvic bone?

Is it Possible for some injuries to go undetected in a CT scan and MRI? I crushed my T6 vertebrae about 1 month ago and I have very unusual symptoms unfolding. I have been losing feeling in my left leg for about 5 seconds with out warning then it instantly comes back. Anyone have any idea of what is going on?

Thanks for your answers!

I have been taking painkillers (Vicodine) ever since my surgery 3 days ago. Since I have been taking them, I don't feel like having sex, and would probably have trouble getting it up even if I wanted to. Before I started taking them, I wanted to have sex all the time. Now I don't have much feeling in my penis. Has this happened to anyone else out there???? I'm worried about it.

Hello, I've had a bruise in the shape of a long, narrow, two-prongred fork running down more than half the length of my left shin. It's been there for AT LEAST a month and a half and doesn't show signs of dissipating. What is happening? Is it dangerous?
