Injuries - March 2007

I play rugby and cricket very regularly, and when i am playing in matches, tournaments or fielding for long times in cricket i always seem to get severe unbearable calf cramps, often in both calfs, i then cant continue, cant walk and often still have pain in my calfs for anything up to about a week after.
Does anyone know what causs them or even more helpful would be how to prevent them like any good products to buy, medicines, vitamins etc....any ideas are always useful?
whatever information you have please spread the knowledge!
thanks

I have acute bronchitis. The last few days I started to get very bad lower left side pains. I thought it was just due to all the strain of hard coughing. However, yesterday I coughed hard and I felt a POP in my side and it temporarily went numb, then felt like someone had stabbed and kicked me there. SO bad I couldnt stand straight. Its lower left side, around hip and lower side abdomen/rib area.Its not getting better, but worse feeling. Have I just torn a ligament or what?

My right hip hurts. It hurts the most in the groin area , but it feels like the whole hip hurts. If it helps it hurts the most when i start running, like right off the start line, until i get in my groove, then the pain goes away somewhat. Also when i lift my leg up toward my chest, then i put it down i hear a popping noise. It started to hurt after i hadnt run for a long time, then i ran 8 miles with leg weights on. I dont know what a stress fracture feels like, but i can run. I really need the pain to go away, because track is in full swing, and i can t run as well as i want to.

I know for sure I have a sprained wrist. Yesterday I fell on it, and I got it SLAMMED hard in my locker. My parents are positive that I don't have to go to the doctor. Yesterday, when I slammed it, I went to the Trainer at my school, and he said that if the swelling and sharp pains did not go away, I should go to the emergency room. I have little swelling but I dafinately have a sharp pain in my wrist. What should I do?

i dislocated my knee six weeks and 3 days ago ago. it went back into place itself. i have seen a doctor who gave me a few simple exercises to do. the swelling has gone down a reasonable ammount. however it is still slightly swollen. i stopped using the crutches 4 days ago but i am wearing a knee support while walking around. i still have problems bending my knee.

i was wandering:

how long it will be until i can get a full bend?
how long it will be until the swelling goes fully down?
is there anything i can do to repair my knee?
how long it will be until i can start playing sport?

if you could awnser any of these questions i would be very grateful.
any other useful information will be apprecated

Can anyone help with this in the UK? 15 years ago I had an accident and broke my back, I had to move back with my parents 5 years ago when I just couldn't cope on my own any more. I still managed to keep my job but only cause my bosses were and still are very understanding and try to help me as much as they can.

5 years ago I applied for DLA and was awarded the high rate mobility, so I applied for a Motability car and I've had one ever since. I re-applied after 3 years and was again awarded the same, the doctor they sent to assess me said that there was no way my condition would ever get any better.

I've just applied again and have been refused, my whole award taken away, I've had a reconsideration, still no award. I'm now due to hand back my car in May so I have to give up my job, public transport is 45 min walk, bus, 20 min walk, 2 trains, 45 min walk, so thats not an option. I can barely walk from house to car. I now have to go to appeal and am scared, any advice?

Three days ago, after dancing most of the night, I came home and stood on a chair to get something off a high shelf. I stepped down on my right leg and felt something pop in my left knee. It was very similar to the feeling I had when I tore the cartiladge in that same knee 11 years ago, but in a different spot. That tear on the lower right side of my knee. This injury is across the top central area of my knee. I didn't seem to have any problems the day it happened nor most of the next day. I actually walked around quite a bit. However, it popped getting into and out of the taxi going home that night. Since then it has been stiff. It doesn't like to bend and when it does, it pops. Sometimes it feels like there is pressure across the top of my knee and other times it feels like I have put a heat rub on it when I have not. The doctor, who did not touch my knee, but only x-rayed it said it's osteoarthritis. I have doubts. However, I don't speak Chinese so it's difficult for me

i am currently 40 weeks pregnant. two weeks ago, i was walking down the stairs, missed the last one & twisted my ankle so bad. i heard it crack like ten times. for a couple of days i was limping on it. it hurt like hell to walk. when i went to the doctors i was told it was just sprained really bad & the only thing i can do is put ice on it.

it turned black & blue. all over the place. on the top of my foot, on the sides. & it has been swollen ever since. it is now two weeks later, last night, my ankle & foot were swollen so bad, i couldn't even bend my ankle or toes. it was huge.

what is wrong with me, shouldn't it be healed by now??

I was making dinner last night and got attacked by bacon grease on my arm. It's about 2" wide and an inch and a half high. Burned like the dickens even after I ran water over it. Then I took my crumble cake out of the oven and some of the butter and sugar landed on exactly the same spot as the bacon grease. Double yeooow! It's not burned bad enough to go to the hospital and is just barely at the "i could blister but maybe I don't want to stage". But it really hurts because it's on the inside of my forearm and nothing's killing the pain. Does anyone have any ideas what i can do to make it feel better?
