Injuries - March 2007

I have been running on the treadmill at the gym for the last few days....do you think that is why it hurts and pops when I walk? Is it serious? What can I do to alieve the pain?

I have a small fracture (non-displaced) across the base of my pinky finger. The Dr said to wait 7 weeks(4 weeks splint, 3 weeks exercises) before playing hockey again. This seems a little extreme, and I'm guessing she has to give the worst case scenario. I've known lots of people who have played with these types of injuries after a few weeks. Is playing 3 weeks after this type of injury too soon? 4? Is there a good way to tell?

Ok, so my husband had back surgery in january of 2006. He is 24, and had the surgery because he had herniated discs in his lower back due to jumping out of airplanes(inthearmy). Since then, it seems like its just gotten worse. Hes walking ith a cane, still has horrible back pain, and the physical therapy either wont work or its too much for him. I dont know if its just him being lazy, and using it as an excuse for sitting around(which he does, all the time) or if it is really bad as he says it is. whats a normal time line for a fusion surgery, how long does it take to recover and has anyone one else had this experience? I want him to feel good again..physically and about himself. Im worried that soon he'll let this completely take over his life. When i ask about trying phys. Ther. again he gets mad and says you dont know what its like. but i just want him to be better. anyone have any advice?

6 years ago I was hospitalized. I have a deterioriating Disc Desease. I have been through years of PT and two fusions in my neck. I am disabled but my family still think because I no longer have to work a job that I can use my Carpentry skills to serve them anytime for anything. How can I spell it out to all of them, what D-I-S-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y means. The pain is horrible and I take morphine 2 times a day for it. What is it that they don't get? What my body has left wll get me and me alone by for the rest of my life. I am not my families on call mr fix it. My Parents are the worst for wanting me to do extraordinary things for them and around their place. I have 2 brothers and a sister who do nothing for them and they are able bodied, yet I do work for them too. I need to say no but my folks are nearly 80.

I screwed up my elbow carrying something like 2 years ago.
I should be doing nothing but resting it and the at home therapy exercises. It is impossible, even house choirs aggravate it, so I kinda gave up. then I built a room addition on the house like an idiot. I didn't get the help I was counting on. Now am paying the price. I know you shouldn't use your wrist and forearm too much, that is bad. I finished the work, and now I am typing a lot too much. I know I shouldn't but like to. I bought a wrist pad thing for the keyboard. that made my typing even slower. lol
because of the height or something. I feel like putting a sling on my arm and screwing all choirs!! I can't even get a carpenter job because it will never get better. all the specialist say I do not need surgery, I had an MRI for Elbow specialist to see. and then he finally says, okay maybe a little exercise will help. and I feel this like bump/muscle when my arm is tight against my chest. other arm is normal, no bump.

Recently i slipped and fell on private property, i banged my head hard, this was 2 weeks ago, i now have diagnosed concussion.
I cannot work as i am getting dizzy spells, and headaches, and feel very weak.
I had a CT scan, it was normal but the dr said it could be some time before i feel well enough to return to work.
The property management have already accepted liablity as they should have salted the snow and have offered to pay my wages and any other medical costs.
Also they said they would settle a compensation claim for the concussion.
Currently they are seeking my medical history, i have spoken also to a lawyer who says i do have a case.
Property management have said i can settle now or wait until i feel better, i said i will wait.
Does anybody know roughly how much compensation one should expect? At this point i don't want to sign for anything even with lawyer.
Maybe somebody reading this knows of somebody who was compensated for mild concussion? If so can you tell me?
