Injuries - March 2007

about two weeks ago for two nights I had sat on a real hard chair for a couple hours each night.

about 2 days later. The top part of my but started hurting like it was a bruised or something. Its usually hurts when I go upstairs or get up or sit down. basically any kind of bending.

But my question is. is this something to worry about? don't bruises usually go away after a couple days? thanks if anybody knows.

My 17 months old accidently hit me in the eyeball it was so painful.. Now my eye is hurting me and if I touch it with anything it hurts even more. I've always had white eyeballs but right now the part where he hit is pink. Will it get it better or do I need to see a doctor very soon?

It my left foot. The bone on the outside at the top. The ligments or tendons, whatever they are, hurt. It has been sore for probably 8 months. Anyone had this. Does it require surgery. I broke my ankle on that foot about 16 yrs ago. I have weak ankles too. I have not been to the doctor about this. Help please - worried a surgery will be involved.

I have this stabbing, sharp pain in my chest, every time I take a deep breath and it hurst really badly. I was diagnosed with costochondritis about a month and a half ago, but it went away within a week, when i leaped out of bed one day because i was frightened. Now, the pain is back and as bad as ever. I'm beginning to think it is not costochondritis, though, because my chest/rib area is not sore/tender to the touch. My only symptom is severe pain when I take a deep breath. It is very miserable so if someone could please help me I would appreciate it.

Would a chiropractor help?

I was run over by a car 3 months ago, I still may have some tendon damage or maybe a broken bone, but because of edema I need new xrays. I want floor work or something I can do in a chair maybe 20 min. a day. My jobs (2) are physical and I do 4 hours a day 5-6 days a week plus I live in a NYC walkup. I know not to rush myself, but I need to regain the strength to help carry my body and get back to the 40+ work week.

I'm not sure if I'm worrying too much or if it's a sprain or anything but yesterday I was in P.E. and i tripped and fell and hit my arm really hard. When I first hurt it, I couldn't move anything from my elbow to my fingers or it hurt too much. Then, a while later, there was like sharp stinging pains in my wrist and now today it's fine but whenever I lift something heavier than my cell phone it hurts and I can move it, but if I like shake it or something it hurts and it feels like weight is being put down on it. Am I overreacting, or is it a sprain or something? My parents don't believe that it hurts and they say that I shouldn't go to the doctor, but they are old-fashioned.

Hello. I have a minor problem but it's getting very annoying. When I run, the bone in the top of my big toe, and the top of my foot hurt, when I apply pressure during running, and even now as Im sitting here, bending my big toe upwards. It's not a qucik sharp pain, but a consistant, sore pain (not agonizing, though, just enough to be annoying). I have tried 3 differnet types of running shoes, and currently Im wearing a $200 pair of Asics extra arch support runners. I have pretty much no other problems with my feet when I run (I used to with my last 2 pairs of shoes, but with these new shoes, every pain went away, except for this one).

What could this be? Please don't tell me to ask my doctor, or ask a shoe salesman..etc... I just want to know if anybody else has experienced this, and what it might be.

Thanks!

I hurt my ankle today. The stairs, its not swollen but it hurts like crazy even more when I swollen my ankle two years ago (same one). At first I try to walk a sharp pain strike. I try to walk it off but hurts too much and now its getting stiff. I can barely move it without getting pain. Is serious or will it wear off?

About 4 months ago I got a lump on my upper finger joint. It went away about 4 weeks later. It returned after around a month, then went away again. Now I have it on my next finger along. When I say lumps, they are more of a swelling up around the joint, and you can feel a bump. It is quite red and a little sore, and stands out next to my other fingers. Someone suggested it could be arthritis, but I am only 22, so would hope not so young?!

I got stitches yesterday and I was not supposed to change the bandage or get it wet for 3 days. Basically, I was supposed to leave it completely untouched, but today in the shower my home-made saran wrap and tape gor loose in the shower and the bandage was soaked! I took it off as soon as I found a larege bandage to change it with.

I called my doctor but the office is now closed for the entire weekend and I don't know who to ask. Does anyone know if I did the right thing and if I will be okay?

I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was in middle school. I am 21 now. The curve of my spine is about 23-25 degrees. This past week I have been having shooting pain up my back. This went on for about 30 minutes and only went away when i laid perfectly flat. Since then my whole back (mostly mid back from my ribs to shoulder blades) have been hurting. I get the shooting pain every once and a while. My right leg is also a little numb. Could anyone tell me what this could be? I have an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon on Monday.

Thank you!!

In January of this year I had surgery where the doctor had to cut through my abdominal muscles (laporoscopy) due to endometriosis and he had to do a lot of scraping of the tissue inside. Well, the swelling was really, really bad for about 5 weeks (looking like I was pregnant!). Well, the swelling has been down for almost a month, and when I went to the gym and did some crunches, I'm all swollen again, and I think I irritated the muscles! How long should someone wait to do abdominal workouts?

Last night I slipped and fell, but I felt fine. When I woke up this morning, I was in a lot of pain and it hurt to walk. I took some Tylenol. Later at school (around 12:30) I put ice on my knee until 2:15. Now (3:30) it still really hurts. My mom put an Ace bandage on and I took some ibuprofen. I don't think it's swelling, but it still hurts a lot.

I'm going to Quebec this weekend and will be doing a lot of walking around, so I'm afraid that will make it worse.

Should I go to the hopsital or just not worry about it?

Thanks!

I just had an MRI performed on my lower back and it showed (what I expected) a pinched nerve, degeneration of two discs, etc. But then it also showed a loss of curvature due to persistent muscle tightness. Does anyone know what that is, and what it means exactly? Any help would be great. Thanks.
