Injuries - January 2007

Just want to know how long it takes for the callor bone to heal and what to do to minimize the pain. Also once its broken, will it be more easy to be broken again in the future?

Over the summer he took a chance jumping dirt hills with a bicycle and broke his collar bone.
Also before his collar bone was healed he shattered his wrist riding a moped without a helmet that required major surgery.

Health insurance only covers so much and is it fair to expect him to cover some of the cost?

I woke up late this morning and my eye was glued shut with eye goobies (Sorry for the info) so i go into the bathroom and my eye hurts. Almost like something is in it but nothing is. It's all red, not pink.

Do I really need a doctor for this?
Will it clear itself out?

Someone told me that this was possible, but I am pretty skeptical that it actually happens, since I've never done it or seen another person do it.

I thought it was a common term. To put it bluntly "Racked" = pretty much anytime the groin and associated parts get hurt... women are mostly immune to it, I think.

My boyfriend recently injured his knees by overexerting them during a bike marathon he didn't train well enough for. He has been taking glucosamine with Chondroitin and msm, doing some different leg stretches, and icing his knees (20 mins at a time) when they hurt. He has stopped bike riding for the most part, but is very active and plays soccer once a week, and participates in the occasional football game. He knows its better to rest, but there is really no way to stop him from continuing these activities (his choice, not mine). Does anyone else have any tips for knee pain or helping his knees heal faster? Preferably to people that deal with this particular issue.

I am having knee surgery in a few weeks. i dislocated my knee about 2 years ago and it is still messed up. they are cutting the tissue off the outside of my kneecap because it is too tight and is pulling my kneecap onto its side, and then they are cutting the tissure and muscle off the inside edge of my kneecap and reattatching it farther in because it is too loose. I have never had surgery before, and i was just wondering what to expect. has anyone ever had a similar surgery done? what was the recovery time? how bad did it hurt?
i might add that i am a very serious ballet dancer, dancing for about 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, so my knees are quite strong for my age. (i'm 15.)

After jogging or walking on my treadmill using the incline I get this weird pulsing or spasm feeling all over my legs which slowly diminish after about 15 mins. The spasms don't begin until after I've stopped exercising and while I'm cooling down. Its not painful at all but I can't find anything about it on the internet as if others have this happen to them as well and if its a problem or not. I was just wondering if its normal or something that I should get checked out? Any info would be very helpful. Thanks!

fell at a theme park because the ground was wet about 3 weeks ago. The top off my foot hit very hard on the ride while getting out. The nurse looked at it from a distance and gave me an icepack and some Advil. My foot still hurts to touch but not so much to walk on and there is a visual lump at the top of my foot between my ankle and big toe, Is it possible I dislocated it?
