Injuries - March 2007

Hello,

I'm new to this board and I've been searching all over on the net. My tailbone has been hurting and my biggest fear is the doctors.

Tailbone pain: bending over, Sometimes it will hurt when I sit. No tender spots. I've checked. I did pick up a heavy box at work, can that cause damage to a tailbone?

Any ideas what could I do?

Was at an observatory for project, then while we were outside the professor was pointing out the nebulas with a high powered pointer* and while he was talking he accidentally hit the button and got me right in the eye.

He discussed how it was one that he had to lock up when he was done or whatever so it wasnt your standard type. So does it hurting mean i should be worried? because i assumed it was just temporary but it hasnt releived since it happened

i'm 23 and the neurosurgeon i'm seeing has recommended this procedure to correct a severely damaged disc(from a traumatic injury) in my lower back that is causing debilitating pain...will i ever be able to return to running, cycling, and weight lifting? conservative treatment over the past 7 months is not providing any relief, so this may become my last option

My husband bumped his lower leg(shin) at work a couple of weeks ago. I t is still very sensitive to the touch and its still bruised and he has a medium size bump there. Do you think it could be a blood clot? Should he seek a doctor? He is just so stubborn when it comes to seeing a doctor.

I used crutches a few months back after an ACL reconstruction, and towards the end of the crutch use I started experiencing seemingly random moments of extremely sharp, burning pain in the area above my elbow and between my tricep and bicep (not sure which technically it would be). The pain would cease when I stopped whatever I was doing with the arm (not always when using crutches). Now, the same area seems numb, and if I apply pressure it has a strange gnawing sensation and sometimes pain. What is wrong with my arms (yes, it's on both sides)? Can it be fixed?
I don't experience that random pain now, but

Hello, on 12/7/06 I had fell very hard onto a concrete floor. I hit my head back, shoiulder and arm. I have been in physical therapy for about two months to treat this injury.
I first recieved and MRI for my neck and it showed that I posterior disc protusion slightly effacing the ventral csf at c5-6 and c4-5. I also have a disc bulge at c6-7.

At first the pain was quite severe but physical therapy, rest and medication had helped some bit. The problem is that I still get neck aches daily. The pain can get to be pretty bad at times
.
I recently recieved and MRI for my shoulder which showed impingement. The results say: There is a down-sloping acromion which does touch a midly efface the supraspinatus musculotendinous junction. There is tenosynovitis of the biceps tendon sheath
.
I kind of know what this means but not fully. I have alot of pain in shoulder and neck, shoulder is very sore and my underarm is sore and tender. it hurts most when walking/reaching. Also, my elbow started cracking with much pain and my forearm is really tight, my fingers constantly feel jammed and there is pain/weakness in wrist. Also, my shoulder has been cracking.

My question is, I see a my neuro surgeon for a follow up soon but I called the office and they said he does not deal with shoulders. Then, the week after I see my doctor. What kind of treatment should I expect for these injuries and might I need to see another specialist? Also, may I need more physical therapy my prescription is currently up for it and i have completed the suggested course of therapy yet am still in much pain.

Any info/suggestion you may have will be appreciated.

Thank You

I always sit in the same position at the computer, and one leg is always mashed up against the arm of the chair.
I have a dent in my leg from it! LOL
I just noticed it a few days ago, and I try not to sit that way anymore.
Will it ever go away if I STOP sitting like that or stay off the computer? LOL I hope its not permanent...
Guess Im addicted now.

Im a clutz and when i was in my bedroom, I lost my balance and fell and hit my wrist very hard on a dvd player that was on my floor. I did that last night. Now its a little swollen and the bones feel weird and it REALLY HURTS!!! Theres also bruising on the front and back of my wrist!!! Does this mean its broke? It really hurts to type this! If it is broken, does this mean I will have to wear a cast?

I'm sure there are cases of both but what is the normal, including, the tendency to avoid re-injury.

Why is it that when I put my contacts on, on my right right eye, it starts to hurt/sting? The pain will be there for about 5 minutes; then go away, but it's soo irritating! I've had contacts for about 3 months now. & I've had this problem just recently. Is there something wrong?

A few days ago I was yawning in the car and my jaw popped really loud. The whole car heard it clearly. It didnt hurt it just shocked me. The next morning my left side of my jaw right at the joint began to hurt soo badly. I cant even bite down at all. If I were to even fight through the pain and just do it I couldnt because there is like something blocking it. I am 13 weeks pregnant and I can hardly eat and the only pain reliever I can take is tylenol. Please help! What might be wrong?
