A few days after this happened (she poked around alot!), my inside arm from the wrist to the elbow was all sore, like it was bruised but with no bruise showing. It's now over a week and getting no better. It's almost like I can feel my sore vein there! Is there anything I need to worry about, I mean could bacteria or anything gotten in there. Mind you, no blood was drawn from that site - She got someone else to do it on the other arm and I feel nothing over there. I'm just not sure if I should have it checked out or not. I know the soreness is definately from the attempt, but don't know what could be wrong. Thanks for any input.

I had an appendectomy almost a month ago and a recent CT Scan shows a fluid filled sac close to the surgery site. Is this normal?

1 of 6 layers of my cornea has been damage. And when im in a dry season like Winter or very hot summer, my eyes starts to get painful. Sometimes when I look at bright objects, eg(sun, monitors, tv's) it hurts a lot. Or when I wake up in the morning. is there any way to fix this problem? is there a surgery for this? and what does it call for the surgery?

My husband is a truck driver and he was at a place to get loaded as he was walking up the steps he slipped and fell on some ice on the steps and shattered his wrist, and tore some tendons. He has to have surgery on his wrist and tendons, and they are going to put a pin in his wrist. The doctor says he will not be able to use his wrist for probably 2-6 months and it will be a year before it is back to normal. Should we sue the company he was at for not salting their steps and causing my husband to fall? What do you think? Thanks for your answers.

I've had back problems (including an L4/L5 and L5/S1 laminectomy and partial diskectomy) but last week started getting numbness, weakness, and tingling down my leg, all the way to the foot. Yesterday it started tingling worse -- moving to the top of my foot, too. I went to the Urgent Care at the ER and they gave me a Medrol (predniosolone) pack in addition to Lortab. I also take Mobic and Zanaflex (anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer).

What do you think? Should I be worried that I'm going to need additional surgery?

I had a very rare cartilage transplant surgery in my left knee done 8 weeks ago. It was complete open knee surgery. I have been seeing a physical therapist since I woke up from the procedure and my range of motion has been terrible. If I don't get my full range of motion back in 3 weeks my doctor is going to do surgery again to remove scar tissue. The PT forcing my leg to bend and the exercises don't seem to be helping. I am able to bend to about 95 degrees, but that is it. I want to avoid surgery. Can anyone help? Has anyone been in this situation before? I will try anything...acupuncture, massage,, etc.... Thanks for yout help!

I'm a tall guy -- about 6'4". In my work I have some responsibilities that involve lifiting 30-60 lbs from the floor, or working with heavy materials requiring me to stoop down. All of this creates a lot of lower back pain for me. Any ideas on what I can do to prevent back injuries?

I fell on the ice this morning and initially my wrist was just a tish sore but I could still move it normally, but now, 6 hours later it's really sore when I move it and it's just a slight bit swollen. Could it be fractured even if I can still move it, or maybe just a sprain? What warrents a trip to the Dr.?

I was going on my friends roof and instead the window closed on my big toe. I think because my foot was already numb from the snow outside it didn't hurt as bad as it could have, but I new it was broken. It is swollen and purple and I can't bend it, what should I do? And by the way I hurt myself a lot so my parents will never believe me or take me to get an x-ray.

I have been having problems with my left knee since December. I was running up a hill and all of a sudden I felt a really sharp pain on the inside of my left knee. After a few weeks I saw an orthopedic PA. I got an MRI and it showed that there was no ligament damage and that I may or may not have a torn medial meniscus-they couldn't say definitively.

At the beginning of January I got a cortisone injection. I got no relief, so the PA referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. By this time the pain was basically in the middle of the medial side of the knee. He told me that that sounded more like an inflamed plical band. So, last week I got a 2nd cortisone injection where the plica is.

It has been a week and it no longer hurts along the entire side of my knee. However, now I keep getting this sharp, kind of pinching pain lower down on the medial side of my left knee (i.e. just below the kneecap and over the tibia).

Is it possible to have a torn meniscus AND an inflamed plica?

I was just diagnosed with dry eye syndrome and have not been able to wear contacts for about 2 years. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips or anything for living with this, it drives me crazy as I work on a computer all day and my eyes are super dry and blurry!! And yes I use perscription eye drops.

Can this ever go away? Is there any way to cure this?

I was hit on the top of my head with a basketball. Right now, I feel dizzy and unfocused, but my headache is going away. Do you think I have a concussion???? I could be unfocused from being tired, but I don't feel that tired. I would appreciate if people with medical experience could answer this question.

How do you get off that surgery goop they put on you to clean the area? I had surgery on my hand and that stuff is all in my fingernails. I can't fully wash my hands due to stiches and I've tried hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, soap, lotion...it's all in my fingernails, cuticles...
