I asked a question about my own shoulder that dislocates from time to time and everyone thinks it sounds like a rotator cuff injury. So since Mel Gibson dislocated his shoulder at will in Lethal Weapon does that mean he is (or was) walking around with a rotator cuff injury?

A family member has fractured a foot during an accident and I'm looking up Aflac aide. It lists one benefit for Open Reduction and a lesser benefit for Closed Reduction. I would like to know what these mean.

I have a broken fibula and have been wearing one of those 'boots' rather than a cast. I went and saw the doctor today and told me it is healing fine and that I will begin physical therapy next week and be doing range of motion exercises.

My question is.. would it be okay if I took off the boot when I sleep? I am very still when I sleep and couldn't imagine injuring myself further.

I know I should have asked the doc when I was in there.. but it has been healing for 21 days now..

I keep getting all these e-mails or spam offering to make me money for filling out surveys that ask me to buy something (marketing). Isn't it illegal to mislead people by promising them a job only to ask them for a credit card number for a purchase?

For the last several weeks i have been unable to extend my knee and seem to have swelling ab owe my knee cap. I've tried using an ace bandage but this is not helping. Ice and elevation haven't helped either.

I was messing around and kicked a medicine ball labeled "4-5 pounds", now my toe (Left big toe), throbs badly when I walk and the top has started to turn dark blue, and when I move it, it feels like it is being smashed with a hammer. (OUCH!)

I am 27 years old and so far I have torn both acl's in my knee's and dislocated both of my shoulders. Since I have participated in sports I have had injuries but never a broken bone. I have had both knees operated on with moderate sucess. I'm now not as active in fear I will tear or dislocate some other part of my body.

Hi Guys, I was in an accident on jan 4 2007. Initially my back hurt, but the pain was not really bad. But perhaps 2-3 weeks after the accident my back now hurts really, really bad. I had a cervical spine ct that was negative. I had a thoracic spine x-ray that was negative. My back pain is a sharp burning pain around the L1-T12 region. I don't know if the thoracic ct will show that. Anyways, at least there are no fractures in the cervical spine or thoracic spine.

I don't feel like my doctor really believes my pain. I never complain of back, but this is really frustrating, since nothing shows up on the exams.

Has anyone had a similar experience after a car crash? If so, how long did your pain last, and what did you do to alleviate it?

I strained a muscle beneath my right shoulder blade and over my right rib cage, maybe its two separate muscles. I always feel like I have to cough up flem. Its really painful, I usually have to grab onto something when I cough. Am I reinjuring my strained muscles by doing this? I have had to sleep or at least try to sleep sitting up for the last 3 nights. Its too painful to lay down and get back up.Also I usually feel like I have to cough when I lay down.I can't be still and cough. I got injured 6 days ago. Anyone know anything about this. I've read lots on strained muscles, but no mention of this coughing matter. Please answer if you do. Thanks.

I just had my first track practice on Monday. I had been running 20 minutes a day 4 times a week for the 2 months leading up to track. The first day of practice we did a fairly easy run and then I went home and, like an idiot, did leg exercises with weight.
I developed pain in my calf later that night. I am guessing it is over use but I don’t know if it is a stain or something serious. The pain continued and still hurts today (Wednesday night). I did track practice yesterday, and today I told my couch I was in pain after our jogging warm up and she told me to do the stationary bike to take a break from running. The pain is in the back of my calf about 2 inches from the ankle. It feels like it is under my Achilles tendon. I have a sharp pain in a small area that hurts when I relax from a calf stretch, go up and down stairs, and run. Yesterday it hurt to walk a bit, but not today and it does NOT hurt when I go up on my toes.

I iced and rested my calf last night and then again when I got home today. I do not want to mess up my track season. Any advice on when I can start running again, or has anyone experienced this before?
