no matter how careful I am, I would definitely bump into something once everyday.
I have bruises all over my body because of it.
It kind of gets annoying.
I've been like this ever since I was a kid. Back then I used to fall in the stairs, bruising my leg, all the time. I broke my nose twice falling in the stairs.
I broke my forehead once falling in the stairs.
I closed the door once on my hand playing hide and seek with my brother and got stitches on all the fingers.
I even ran into a chandelier once and broke my forehead again!
Today I was closing the car door and the sharp bottom end of it caught on my leg and my jeans were torn.

My sister was diagnosed with a cyst on her knee cap. The Doctor has given her anti-inflamatory to try to get rid of it. If that dosen't work, she's looking at a cortazone injection. I have never heard of someone having a cyst on the knee. Any feedback? Her sysmtons are swelling, pain and much discomfort....

I knew that would catch your attension..............Well, it all started out 3 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... a week. In total it hurt for 1 year. 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? do u think the doctor will splint it? Phisical tharapy? Surgery?

Also what can I do right now 2 stabalize it till she comes back? I have a brace thing and ace wrap should I use that? I can see now that rest wont help because this injury was 3 years ago....

I have a rotator cuff injury - not drastic, but it's keeping me from training martial arts as strenuously as I would like. Chiroractic treatment has helped a lot, but still there is some popping in my shoulder joint, and I am considering checking into prolotherapy. Anyone have positive or negative results from prolotherapy - especially for shoulder pain? Thanks for any information.

My friend peirced my cartilage last June, and it developed a bump by it. I found out that it's because my body's trying to reject the peircing, and I've tried to keep it clean and what not, but it won't go away. I've tried to pop it, thinking there'd be puss or something causing it to stay there, but it's only blood? Have any ideas?

I had several stitches put in on my right calf today, the wound was oval shaped and hard to close, the hospital really did not do a great job covering it with bandages, they came off almost immediately. I have to walk around and i have to do some things, i am just scared the stitches will pop, or break open, is there a big chance of that?

My son and I were on an airboard flying down this long hill...about the last 20 ft of the slope, we hit a "natural ramp" of ground that swooped us up into the air and dropped us down about 12 in. harder than I've ever landed on my tailbone before. I wasn't sitting flat on my butt...my legs were up around his waist so our feet wouldn't keep us from going down the hill. When I landed I thudded hard down on my tailbone. I hollered out and would have started crying had we not been in public, but adrenaline got me up, and my son. We walked up the hill.....if it was broken ...seems like I woudn't have been able to do that.?...I remarked it would be SORE tommorow and then stood and meandered around for 3 hours at the top of the hill watching him sled ...and FREEZING ..while he had fun . Now that I'm sitting a little and walking a little it is getting SORE.Worst is getting out of the car, or sitting down. Do I possibly have a cracked tailbone? What can I do for the pain?

I had my gallbladder removed 9 days ago. I had staples to close the incisions it was laposopric. There is a redness around where the sptaples go in and they itch. There is no pain. Is it normal to have a little redness around that area with staples? I have no fever or anything.

The other day I was on the phone with my son when I noticed that I had lost circulation in my middle finger. I looked at my finger and it was completely devoid of blood flow. The nail bed was white from lack of blood. My entire hand was tinglinging. It scared me because the blood flow did not quickly come back. I had to basically message it until the blood flow returned. What could cause this? And should I be worried?

So, some two years ago I had a little accident. I am a postman, and was riding my motorcycle when it was slippery outside. I braked (or whatever) but accidentally "gave gas" (sped up), so I was "stretched" and had a "jab" in my back. I'm not sure if you understood what I wanted to say, but ever since that day I have some kind of leg pain (not severe) that goes through my whole leg and like there's something blocked in my lower back. I don't know what it would be, but the doctor suggested I might have got to go for injections in my back. I'm not a big supporter of that, since all that rubbish often does more bad than good. What would you do ?

I need to find information on Ulnar nerve damage and cannot find a good medical reference site. All sites i have found refer to the ulnar nerve as being in your elbow, however, his doctors are calling this nerve (right about his left eye) an Ulner nerve. I've Googled Ulnar nerve but still come up with 'elbows'. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I was in an automobile accident in March 06, I was rear-ended taking a left hand turn and the insurance company admitted liability imediately. My car was totaled and was in the er for exrays, ct scan and mri's. and they were talking about a settlement for physical therapy right away so I hired and attorney. My injury mostly has been whiplash, I also have cervical vertigo and am still being treated almost a year later. I have been to PT and vestibular rehabilitation ostepathic manipulation as well. I have been Dizzy for almost a year as well as anxiety and have been following all of my doctors recomendations. I am not trying to make quick cash but I do want to know some sorty of figure to ease the anxiety. My bills are around 10k and was out of work for 2 weeks right after the accident. Does any one have a figure for a sincere personal injury amount and pain and suffering? I haven't gotten an amount from my attorney as of yet. Thanks for your help!

On Thursday night I stepped down wrong, or something, and my got a sharp, stabbing pain on the outside of my knee. It happened a couple times before I said anything to my supervisor, and then later when I went back to my office it happened again and hurt even worse. My sup gave me some ice and I stayed off of it for the rest of the night. When I got home that night I noticed there was a little swelling where the pain was. This morning the swelling has increased and it tried to go out from under me again with the same sharp pain. The muscles had been feeling really tight around the joint for a little while before this happened. Never had any issues with my knee before (just my ankles) and I have no clue what I did. Need to get this taken care of quickly though because I work as a recreation assistant and being physically active is part of my job. Is the little "pouch" that is swollen is actually a fluid build up. Know I need to talk to a doctor but I don't get paid until Thurs.
