Injuries - February 2007

I have a wound from a car accident where a piece of glass went through my ear so it was kind of like i got my ears pierced unintentionally.

It's healing now, or so I thought but recently pus just started coming out when i pushed it too hard. I clean and disinfect it every day but does this necessarily mean infection?

Every few days, I get this... "spiralling" numb pain on the left side of my back, just around my shoulder blade. It feels like someone is taking their hand and digging their fingernails into my back in a circular pattern, and it also feels like pins and needles.

Today, at work, it started doing that, and it started hurting a lot. Then, I started sweating and I felt really hot, and the pain got so bad that my vision started going a bit blurry and I couldn't focus on what I was doing. It started feeling like there was something wrapped around my body, pushing on my chest from all directions, and restricting my ability to breathe. I tried to ignore it and concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing, and it went away after about twenty minutes, although the pain in my back keeps coming back.

What is wrong with me?

How serious do u think it is? Well, it all started out 4 years ago when me and my brother were jumping off of swings. Yeah I know pretty dumb. But I did it and landed on the side of my foot and colapsed. Well, I couldn't walk on it for like ...3 months. In total it hurt for 1 year non stop. Now it hurts on and off but now it really hurts.I was in a different country and/or contenent and didn't go to the doctor. Pretty dumb also. Well, after that it hurt whenever I just hurt it alittle it would hurt a lot. I'm going to the doctor but I have 2 wait for my mom to get back from a trip. What does it sound like 2 u? I also heard a crack when I landed. Does that mean I broke it? Is it possible that I broke it and it didn't grow back correctly? Do u think it is serious? Im only 12 FYI. What will they do to me? What are the procedures for this problem? Any Websites? I know im going to the doctor soon but what do u think they will do?

went to the er and they said I chipped my hip. MRI revealed buldging disks from L2-S1, radial tear L5-S1 and possible pinched nerve. Have tried epidural, cortisone injections, therapy, acupuncture, chiro. No true relief from anything and surgeons said they would not touch my back. Doc now wants me to try SI Injection.... ANY ONE HAD ONE? ANY RELIEF?

Friday night I noticed a knot on my inner forearm in between my wrist and my elbow. It did not have any color and it was only a little sore if you touched it. The area around the knot slowly started bruising. Today, Sunday, the bruise is about 2 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. The knot is still there but I do not think that it has changed sizes. I am wondering if I could have a knot in the vein in my arm that runs up from my wrist?

I just had a baby recently. Before that was not having any problems due to C4 and C5 as a result of working out regularly and keeping back strong. Over past month, lots of numbness and tingling in hands, thumb, mostly right side. Worried and want to make sure it is due to the C4 and C5 and not MS or other type of nerve issue. Most of my problems are during the nite and in the Am when I wake up. When I stand, walk, sit, feel better although a bit of numbness remains in right hand. Any suggestions???

Ok... well 3 months ago we were on a cruise ship and I was swimming in the pool one later night with a friend... we are 12. I was swimming when I kicked the ladder to get in by aciddint. It really hurt when this happened. It hurt so much that I got out of the pool. I was bleeding all over my right side of my foot. I hit a nail that was on the ladder and it hurt very much. My friend asked one of the workers who cleaned up the dishes if she could have a napkin. He gave her a nice napkin and I was holding it agenst my ankle. The nail made a pretty deep hole in my foot. I the went back 2 our caben and put a bandage on. It hurt if I walked on it for like 4 days but I could eventually. A while ago I noticed my foot start to hurt if I walked. Could this have something 2 do with the nail? Yesterday when I went to bed I also noticed that by that area were the nail peirced me it was red.... What could this be? Is it serious? What should I do now? Today it doesn't hurt..but who knows what it is?

it started when my brother pulled my right arm really hard accidently (when i was stretching out) and clicked it...ever since, its been clicked really loudly...a snapping sound.

Im worried if this would have some severe problems in the future becasue the click is persisting even till today (its been months!)...and the clicks getting more and more softer as though its getting used to clicking - this isnt good is it?

What should i do?

For the last 3 weeks I have been having bad pains in my back and muscle spasms they did an x-ray and found I have severe inflamation in my back and they have now ordered an MRI. Today I noticed that I am not having much pain could this be due to the fact of the meds they have put me on and it is masking what the problem is? I don't want to do un needed tests. They have me taking ibprofen 600mg and cyclobenzapr 5mg. Any help or advice.

I have had my belly button pierced for about six months and the bottom hole doesn't seem to be healing or even trying to heal. It just bleeds and scabs and looks unhealthy. The top hole has already healed. I clean it often but not too often. I also apply neosporin to the bottom hole. I use antibacterial soap. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks--
