Injuries - March 2007

But as i fell i smacked my arm against the coffee table,about 2 minutes later my arm had swollen up and was very painful to move i had a sling and badages at home so i used them to strap my arm up but today it is really painful and still swollen.

Sometimes my fingers get stuck in a position. I can be picking up something and my finger will get stuck and I can get it back if I shake my hand. I doesn't feel like a hand cramp it just feels really uncomfortable. I use to rarely happen, but now it happens just about everytime I do something with my hand, like today I was cooking and it happened about six times its always my thumb, index, or pinky finger. If makes my hand looked deformed. For example You know the shape your hand makes when your eating with silverware, my hand will get stuck like that even after I dropped the sliverware. About hour ago I was carrying a gallon of water and my index finger stuck and and I could not bend it at all. I tried shaking it because usually that works, but it didn't go back to normal. It was stuck like that for twenty minutes until it started to hurt really bad. My mom had to force it to bend and it hurt like hell it felt like my hand was breaking. If anyone knows what this is help!!!

This has happened to me three times. I feel fine when all of the sudden (after some movement involving my knee) my knee "locks up." It feels like there is something in/around my knee that is about to literally snap if I try to move my knee. I can't bring myself to move it at all because of this. It goes away after awhile (range of 10 mins to 1 hour) and I feel perfectly fine. What is this?

About a month ago I started having popping in my wrist. It was only when any pulling or pushing was applied to my hand, so I wasn't concerned. But about a week ago it has started to crack and have a grinding-type sound every time i move it. I have put an ACE bandage on it and used heat rubs like BenGay to try to reduce the discomfort, but I haven't seen improvement yet. I try not to use it as much as possible, but since I'm right-handed and I'm at school everyday, it's hard not to. I'm only 16 and I don't think I have arthritis, does anyone have an idea of what it could be?

I live in a rented apartment building in Canada, it is owned by a large company. Last Saturday (1 week ago) i was leaving for work at 5.45 AM, If you live in Canada and you are reading this you would know that last weekend there was freezing rain, as i left the entrance, i fell on the glassy ice and banged my head hard, i felt dazed, i went to the hospital who examined me and discharged me, the past week, i have felt, weak exhausted, had bad headaches, the 3 following days after the fall, my jaw hurt, my forehead, i was told this was caused by the impact of the brain being pushed forward, as i hit my head on the back, my neck muscles hurt badly, i have felt nausea.
I work part time and have not been able to work, i was due this weeknd to work 2 shifts but have felt too unwell.
Today i went back to the hospital as 1 week had passed since my fall, and i was still feeling unwell, the doctor there checked me out again and i had a CT scan, luckily there was no internal beeding or fracture

i have just been doing netball trials last 2 days, and my knee is really sore when i run now and sometimes walk (kind of below the knee cap and a bit around the sides), which sucks because i didn't do well at the trials. I play tennis and go walking and play other sports too, and ive just started doing more exercise latley, and im 14.
do you know what it is and what i can do about it?
i still want to play sport!
o and my mum doesnt want to take me to the doctors but im not sure.. becuase the doctor could just think its something stupid and minor!
i dont know! please help.

Many years ago I injured my ankle, and ever since then it has had a tendency to swell. My Dr. says I have arthritis from the injury. This has gotten worse, so that now at the end of the day I have a grapefruit-sized ankle. It doesn't really hurt alot, but is very painful to the touch if I press on that joint bone. Anything I can do to keep it from swelling like this?

I only know that because I did it on my other ankle a few years ago and it tore. This feels similar, but not like I completely tore it I walked on it all day, went to work (I have a really physical job) and just took my sock off when my husband was horrified at how swollen it is....can this wait till monday or do I have to go to the ER? I am at a 2 or 3 on the pain scale.

Last week, i was exercising and turned my ankle. It didn't bother me right away. It started hurting me 2 days later while walking my dog. It hurt so badly i could barely get home. It was swollen and i could barely do anything. IT's been bothering me all week, is still swollen, and hasn't gotten any better. I have sharp sudden pains, then it throbs, especially when i move it a certain way. Ive been wrapping it and icing it all week, and trying to stay off it. it's been bad though, and not getting better. I also have to carry 30 lbs of books every day during school, so that makes it worse. What more should i do? How long should a sprain take to heal?? Any other advice on what i should do? Thanks.

Both my mother and I have been cashiers at some point. And the both of us have gotten tendonitis from it in both forearms. I atually got Carpal Tunnel syndrome just before the tendonitis set in. She hasn't been a cashier in more than a decade but her arms are still clearly suffering as she can't put any strain on them before they hurt again. Mine started a yeas ago and I worked 6 months on them before I had to quit. I too can't pinch something and either lift it or move my arm without intense pain. I also can't do much lifting or say carrying home groceries without the pain lasting for another few days. Will we EVER get over this? Any rememdies?

I fell and got a bilateral radial head fracture (I broke both my elbows) Is it okay to take off my sling if it feels better, and how long will this take to heal. I don't see a doctor until Monday, and I'd like to have some idea.

What is the procedure, does it hurt afterwards, do you have metal and screws permanently in your arm, what's the recovery procedure.

i accedently cut my gums with my fingernail and its not healing. it has been painfully swollen for about 4 or 5 days now and i think it got worse. i went to the dentist and he said the reason it hurt so bad is because 2 or 3 kanker sores formed around the cut and he gave me cream to get rid of the kanker sores. i dont think i even had kanker sores in the first place because its the CUT that hurts. i have been using the cream and every time i put it on the cut bleeds a little. it hurts when i talk, eat, smile. what do i do.
