Injuries - March 2007

On friday night I was dancing in my living room, it wasn't very strenuous, kind of like the dancing you do when you're at prom or have the radio on. All of a sudden it felt like someone threw a lead ball at my leg and I started limping. My leg has hurt since then and I've been limping. At first I thought it was a Charlie Horse but I've had those before and I've never had this much pain or walked in this odd shape. The pain has died down since Friday but I can't seem to straighten it out. last night when I tried it felt like my muscle was going to be ripped out. I don't have time to see a doctor at this moment, anyone have a suggestion of what it might be?

Well, I have an avulsion fracture in my hip ( my muscle was tearing and when it tore it took a piece of my bone off). The day after my birthday on the 16th i go to the Dr. to see if I have to have surgery. I have always been scared that i am going to die or something will go wrong like i won't be able to walk ever again . Should I be so nervous.

Okay, this is the wierdest cut. I was brushing my teeth rather hard and i guess i missed the teeth and hit my gums. PRETTY HARD. and TWICE. Now in the front of my mouth between the upper row of my teeth and the skin. There is a small cut and a small hole. Yes. A HOLE. It burns sometimes and it looks kind of deep. It also hurts. How on earth do i take care of this hole?

I have a huge bump on the back of my heal about the size of an almond which prevents me from wearing any closed back shoes. Does anyone have any experience with this as my doctor seems to be at a lost.

I obtained this condition above my left ankle about a couple of years ago playing soccer. It really hasn't gone away; when I poke at that area, it feels like a fresh painful bruise. I'm able to run and move around since the injury is above where my sneaker tops off.

I heard that acupuncture is helpful. Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

We have just been taught this funny game at school, first you breath really hard while sitting down, then you hold your breath and choke yourself, when you stand up things go all blurry and you fall over.

I went out for a few seconds my friends said, I hit my head pretty bad on the ground, I felt a bit groggy for a while, you know, like drunk, when I got home I noticed blood in my eye. My sister says as long as it doesnt get bigger its OK.

What do you think?

a few days later it turned really really white and was hanging on by a thread. at that time it was oozing clear liquid but i thought nothing of it. yesterday i noticed that it turned yellow and when i picked at it, it exploded with yellow pus all over my hand. I decided the nail had to come off otherwise the infection would not heal. I took the nail off with my own two hands, did not hurt at all and cleaned it throughly. Should I have taken the nail off?

Yes, may seem funny- but, it is very painful, and it looks like i've been involved in a fight... and lost. I've taken paracetamol, and ibuprofen, however it dosn't make the pain go. Haven't eaten since it happened- as i can't. Any suggestions for a swollen, cut lip, and lower face?... a bag of peas simply don't work.

I have stretch marks on the backs on my legs (horrid things!) and a friend of mine kind of threw a knife down in the kitchen (she burnt her hand, so I can't blame her!) and it cut open one of my stretch marks. It was bleeding a fair bit, but stopped now. I put some bandaids on and applied pressure, but my mum says it needs stitching. I should probably just go to the hospital, but I don't like the place. So, does a cut stretch mark generally need stitching or would it heal itself?

Thanks for any help!

I started lifting weights and a few days later I noticed a very big difference in my chest, I know its not muscle growth, it feels like its filled with fluid but it doesnt hurt and its not bruised. its also only on one side. It does feel strange when I try and move my whole arm in circles.

I wiped out 3 weeks ago and suffered a 2nd grade AC separation (aka shoulder separation). I've been under the care of a doctor so that is not the issue. What I want to know from others who have had this same injury is: How long until you were pain free? thanks.

Lately I have been having some mild knee pain on the outside of my right knee. It didn't seem to come on suddenly and has been bothering me for some time now. I have noticed there is a bump in the area that is hurting. It isn't huge or anything but it doesn't seem to have gone down any since I first discovered it about a month ago.
Any ideas?

I broke my nose when I was 10...and right after I broke it it became crooked...to this day I still don't know why the doctor didn't just pop the bones back together right after the injury...so now I'm 16.. and for the past years I have been suffering from sinus infections and related breathing problems. I really want to get surgery on my nose to correct my difficulty breathing threw my left nostril and to make my nose straight again...should I just make an appointment with a ent doctor and tell him up front that I want him to straighten my nasal bone?? because I had septoplasty a few months ago but the doctor didn't even bother fixing the bone

I was injured in a roll over accident. I have multiple rib fractures with multiple fractures on each rib, a punctured lung and had surgery to repair a tear in my aoerta.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? What was your recovery period and when did you finally feel relief from the pain? Can you still do everything you used to do before the accident?
