Injuries - January 2007

I recently severely bruised my right ankle & during recovery. I am not able to do any aerobics, cycling (stationary) or walking/running...which would put stress on this ankle for at least 2 weeks, per doctor's orders. I am still doing any other weight/resistance training I can that won't further injure myself. Serious suggestions appreciated...thanks!

Would using crutches help a bruise on your leg get better faster or would just doing normall things on it? I have had a bruise for eight weeks but my doctor didnt tell me to do anything but ice it before i go to bed. It hurts alot now because they kept poking it and pushing it yesterday. Would crutches just over the weekend make it better? And if so where do you get them?

Has anyone tried trigger point injections? I broke my back in 8 places a few years ago and have chronic pain and my pain clinic specialist has recommended "Trigger point injections". Has anyone tried these and if so what has your experience been?

I sprained my ankle a few days ago.... and theres two bruises on my ankle that really stand out. I know that bruises are common with sprains, but these two are literrally diagonal lines that go straight across my ankle. They dont really hurt... but i was wondering if there is a reason for the exact placement and shape of the bruises??

where can I buy Metatarsal work boots in or around the portland oregon area? Can you give me names of stores, I've already tried on-line but I would rather go and "try on" the boots. Thanks for any information.

I'm in the Army and we do a lot of running and marching, and it hurts a lot. It bothers me not knowing what it is that hurts, especially since it's not a sprain or stress fracture.

It's in my leg. It's not bleeding now, but it hurts. Will it heal around the bullet and leave a little hole? Should I do surgery myself? Damn it hurts.

I do gymnastics, and I landed wrong when I was tumbling on floor, and I hurt my ankle, when something either snapped or popped. My coach took a look at it and said that if it hurt in the morning I'd need xrays. The next morning it didnt really hurt.... but its 4 days later now, its still kind of swollen, and occasionally something pops in and out. I have a lot of bruises too, and theres two particular ones that stand out because they are literally two staight diagional lines across my ankle... It doesnt really hurt though?? Is it something more than just a sprain??

about two nights ago, i woke up and my arm was just NUMB. i figured i slept on it because it felt like rubber ! (this is just my lower left arm). recently i have had a bit of chest pain on the left, and strain really, which has gotten better. but now i have this. i carry a backpack everyday, and it can get heavy fromt textbooks. right now, its only my left lower arm thats getting numb. and last night it was a trauma to get to sleep because of it. i dont have any severe pain, just the tingling. and anything cold against it feels wet. i don't know if its a pinched nerve, and my mother is hesitant to take me to the hospital, what should i do ?!

THANKS !

Last year i broke my talus bone and three of my metatarsals, apparently it all healed well so why recently does my ankle give way almost causing me to fall over? I 've also got a dull ache most of the time and sometimes a sudden overwhelming pain shoots through my whole foot, its really getting me down.

I didnt consult with the lawyer but i was wondering if anyone knows how much I can ask for settlement. I never been in the car accident before and I dont even drive yet I was just got my permit to learn how to drive before the accident and now probably wont drive for a while as I got really scared.
So i dont know if i even need to go to a lawyer since the other party not even arguing the fault and admit the responsibility.


i would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you,

I have just had my foot strapped up and have been told to keep the strapping dry for the next week and a half. I also need a shower. How can I keep it dry and the rest of me clean and sweet!

term, just a medical one. Someone had asked about what could cause an infection of a certain nature. I don't understand unless someone saw it as an vulgar term or simply didn't like it. What is your view point?

Should I start on light sports activities such as brisk walking and light jogging after spraining her ankle slightly 1 week ago? I dont feel any pain at the ankle but it gets a little swollen and the front part of my feet feels a little tender when I walk about too much.

About a month ago, someone kicked me in the stomach after I he found out I was with his wife. It's been like 4 weeks now and the pain won't go away. What's causing it and when will it go away?
