I am on a compettitive swim team. While swimming Freestyle and butterfly , I havent been able to move my arms fast, just this one slow steady pace. Also my arms will hurt when they are bieng liffted out of the water, and they also feel really heavy. Some days it is worse than others. It is worst the longer distance we swim, everything above a 50. The pain is up the side of my arm to my shoulder.

Is this normal? What can I do about it? What is happening? Should I talk to my coach?

I stepped down from a height onto the ground without arching my foot so all my weight went through my calf.I had a searing pain which felt as if I had torn the muscle.Now I can hardly walk( I can cycle though).It felt like it was quite high up in the muscle but I am now confused as some bruising has come out round my ankle.I am sure it is not my achilles as I have had that before.How long will this take to heal? should I see the doctor incase there has been some permanent damage?

My left talus was shattered in a long fall last year. I had 3 months of external fixation. I still have very limited flexibility in that foot. Is there anything I can do to increase it?

A coworker did something that caused me to have 2 compression fractions and a small herniation of a disk. It occurred over a year ago. I never took but a day off here and there. I have nerve pain in my saddle area, down in my legs and in my feet. Level of pain is driven by activity. It's none surgical. I had chiropractic treatments for many months. I'm waiting to see a doc about injections. I go to work but I have to rest more than most. I always avoid lifting and bending if I can. I don't help out when my coworkers are lifting a lot of things and moving stuff around. Sometimes I just can't take the pain and go home because even just sitting I still have extremely annoying pain. The workers comp claim is still open and its hard to get them to preapprove Dr visits. That's my other issue (it makes me mad). Sometimes I just want to give up and stay home. I control the pain better when I can lay down or recline anytime I need to. At work, I often over do it because I want to help.

Ankle sprains/injuries is a constant fact of life for basketball players and other athletes.

Do you think that future technology and medicine can develop innovative means for fully preventing ankle sprains/injuries or quickly alleviating those types of injuries?

I injured my shoulders doing a crazy yoga move for too long and now it will not heal right. I have been having pain in them for a month now. Have you all found anything that might help short of going to the doctor? I have tried to lay off it for a while and it gets better but when I try to do light exercises it feels loose.

The cut was to the knuckle of the index finger, which required three sutures to secure the wound. The Dr. didn't feel any damage was done to a tendon. After the wound healed, I noticed a round area of redness around the knuckle. This area has not changed in size and shape and is very sensative to the touch. This was 3 mo ago. I do have full feeling in the finger and have no problem with mobility of that index finger.

I consulted with a Dr., was provided anti-inflams, a cortisone injection, antibiotics, topical creams, etc... nothing worked. X-rays revealed no broken bones. The area is still red and feels like I received a bad burn - when you touch it the red turns to flesh tone and then returns back to red.

I'm at a loss.... could I have damaged a nerve? If so, how why would it be in this one area? I have feeling there, but it's a burning sensation. I don't have an infection, nor do I have immobility of the finger.

Any suggestions or insight are appreciated.

My son strained his ACL and the doctor is putting in a referral to the orthopedic. He cannot take ibuprofen (allergic) so he said don't worry about taking anything until we go to ortho.

My husband took my son so this was the story I got. I didn't get to ask any questions.

Has this happened to you...what was the solution?
How serious is this?
My son is very active in basketball and football - how long will it be until he can play again?

Thanks

Shoulder pain?
\lthough it has gone away know last week while skiing i had some shoulder pain. I first hurt my shoulder in the summer when i capsized my kayak and had to wrench myself up with it. Secondly late last year in badminton i did an over hand shot and it clicked and ground. I couldnt stretch it behind my back. Recentley im not sure what i did to it but while ski ing it hurt to push with my poles and it was painful to pull myself up onto my bunk. The pain is totally gone at the moment so i do not need or want advice on medicine or treatment.

What i want to know is what was wrong with my shoulder these times?

Was it the ligermants or muscles?

Are the injuries related and will it reioccure?

Thankyou!

p.s. i am 14 years old and quite sporty
