Injuries - February 2007

I fell hard snowboarding yesterday and messed up my knee pretty bad. This morning I woke up and couldn't sretch my leg all the way up. After taking gym in the afternoon and running a little it felt good but about 15 minutes after a burning sensation was in my knee. Any idea what it is?

My doctor told me after five days I would be able to go back to work. I am now in my second week and have no ideal when I will go back. He said each person is different. First, I ride the subway to work and walk four blocks each way. I have what I call snow boots to walk in. My daughters said I couldn't go to work because I have to drive to the subway and of course insurance won't pay. I have been in pain since the surgery. I went in today to see how I was doing and I told him my foot was hot and still hurt. He took some blood from my arm and from my foot and gave me stronger pain medicine and levaquin 500 mg. I go back Thursday to see how I am doing. Also I am to keep my foot raised and heat on it and move as liitle as possible. I want to know if this is normal and or what should I be doing?

About a week ago, I landed very hard on the ground and bruised the bottom of my foot. The doctor said it is not broken, and they said that it should have been better by now. It still hurts very much. I am going on a trip to San Francisco in two weeks. What should I do for it to become better again?

I have this pain on the bottom right corner of my eye-- literally like there is a needle stuck there-- but there are no scratches or anything stuck there. It is not red at all. And it hurts when I blink--Any thoughts?

My son is six years old and he keeps getting bloody noses at least two a week. Last night it started bleeding and we stopped it but a few minutes later he started sneezing really bad and I helped him blow his nose and a dime size glop of blood came out. I took him to the ER but they told me it's nothing to worry about. Any one got any suggestions?

I sprained my ankle (I think) 2 months ago. Its still swollen but I can walk on it. I haven't been to the doctor b/c I don't have insurance at the moment. Has anyone else had this happen? What did you do? Don't bother telling me to go to the doctor b/c I know I need to. Unless you know of a doctor in Gwinnett County, GA that doesn't require payment up front.

going to have carpel tunnel surgery. cant see surgeon for a few weeks for initial consultation. should I try to work and see what happens or will aggrivating it delay my surgery. I have been off 2 weeks symptoms are minor now I was on Prednizone for 10 days. Can I make it worse? I type and write at my job for the most part of my day. I want to try to go back but I don't want to if it will make things worse. I thought I could try and if the symptoms worsen then I will take off again. Are there any good alternatives to surgery and If I don't change my work duties, will it come back?

I have shin splints on both of my legs. I do a jumping workout with jump rope and just jumping. For these to heal should I stop this, and for how long will it take them to heal.

\lthough it has gone away know last week while skiing i had some shoulder pain. I first hurt my shoulder in the dummer when i capsized my canoe and had to wrench myself up with it. Secondly late last year in badminton i did an over hand shot and it clicked and ground. I couldnt stretch it behind my back. Recentley im not sure what i did to it but while ski ing it hurt to push with my poles and it was painful to pull myself up onto my bunk. The pain is totally gone at the moment so i do not need or want advice on medicine or treatment.

What i want to know is what was wrong with my shoulder these times?

Was it the ligermants or muscles?

Are the injuries related and will it reioccure?

Thankyou!

my shoulder has been in pain for almost a month...it hurts to raise and extend my arm and to put pressure on my shoulder, like doing push ups; i think it might be a rotator cuff injury, but does anyone have any ideas? i can't go to the docs cause i don't have health insurance and i am already in debt with medical bills, but anyway if you have any suggestions let me know

I scratched skin off above my chin with my finger nail when I flinched as (too hot) water came out of the shower last night.
It bled. This morning there's a light pinkish patch.

Will this perminantly scar or clear up and become unnoticable? (how long?)

I was playing baseball with my friends at the park practicing for the game we were about to play and I went to go talk to my crush,Sean. When all of a sudden, I was hit in the head with a hardball. It hurt like.. well it hurt. Now I'm in my room with a broken leg in my bed. But no one will tell me what had happened. Can someone help me figure out what happened?
