I Had surgery on my 2nd herniated disk on the same disk just 2 months ago. I just found out I have ANOTHER herniated disk on the SAME disk, pressing the nerve roots...AGAIN.
Anybody been through this? I got my results myself and today from my family doc. But he just said "get ready for surgery"..lol
Can they do another laminectomy when my disk is allready 10x smaller than it should be? Or would the surgeon maybe have whatever a fusion is?

I might have accidentally swallowed a pin. It's about two inches long and it has a top about 1/2 in. long. Is there anyway I can get it out without going to a hospital? I've tried shoving my fingers down my throat and barfing it up but it wouldn't. What are the chances of this just going through my system easily?

So I am 16 and was pitching batting practice yesterday and did not get behind the screen in time and got nailed in the back of the rib with a baseball. It hurt but nothing that made me fall down and start a show. Yesterday the only part that hurt was where I got hit. Today, my whole right rib cage hurts. Once again nothing unbearable but me worrying about everything I wonder if I should go get it checked out? Thanks!

I injured disk and ligament in my right knee a few years back playing tennis. It healed, there is no longer pain for daily activities, but it doesn't feel right.
If I bend my legs a little, then straighten them, the right knee will pop/move position a little . Also when I'm driving leaning my right leg to the side relaxed... sometimes the knee will just move 'clonk' a little like its moving out of joint a little.
I could almost swear that my right leg now feels a little longer than the left, though just visually looking... they look the same.
The physio said they haven't seen this before, and not sure what it is. I am afraid to do sports...especially anything with impact on the knee. I've tried stationary bike, but then the knee starts to ache if I do bike several times.
I'd like to play tennis again, or try rollerblading sometime.
Does anyone have any idea why my knee moves like this, or what I should do to improve things ?
any help appreciated,
thanks
Jon

I am told in through yahoo answers that the post op period for putting in rod into a fracture of fibula and tibia through surgery is a few hours. Add to it a couple of hours of surgery.

Then do you think the patient will need catheterisation for urination, as I had been told on yahoo answers earlier.

I mean a person normally withholds urine for that long a time?

Is it a must in case of a spinal (aneathesia)?

People have told me if you were to get stabbed in the throat, (adam's apple) and if you grabbed the wound as to say putting your hand on top of the hole to cover the wound you would live? Now i can't see how this could happen, is it possible?

I have hadto have two blood tests in the last 3 months. At the hospital they tried both arms and ended up taking blood from my hand with a different sort of needle. This was not easy either. One nurse had to help by actually squeesing my arm to help get some blood into the tube. I ended up with both arms and my hand badly bruised. The latest attemp to get a blood test done ended up in the doctor getting no blood! Yet each time she withdrew the needle, blood spurted out. Once again i have both arms blue. I have to come back in another week and she will try again! I am 50, in fairly good health and through the years i have never had a problem in giving blood. The only difference is that i have been taking Mirtrazapine on and off for about 2 years. Other than this i dont take anything. Has anyone else had this happen. I am getting worried and am not looking forward to my next appointment where they will attempt to get some blood, nor the large bruises that it leaves.

I went to see a chiropractor 2 weeks ago after suffering with a very bad back for 11-12 weeks, (Doctor treating as acute muscle spasm). I have now been told that it's L5 S something and it's either prolapsed or heriated . I am waiting for a NHS, MRI scan and also a private MRI scan (see which ones comes first) I can't have any treatment until I have the results as the chiropractor needs to see if its treatable or operable. Any one had either treatments and have they worked,
many thanks

I was chopping up vegetables for a stew to put in the crock pot and must have been cutting at a weird angle. I ended up cutting my wrist pretty good. I had to type this with one hand. Should I go to the doctor or will it just heal on its own?

Ive been recently trying to get back into shape. I used to be able to run for miles on end, but stopped running for over a year. Now that Im trying to pick it back up, I notice that near the end of my run my left foot will begin to feel like its going asleep. By the end of the run its much more noticable and runs up to my calf as well. It lingers for about 30 minutes after Im finished and then just goes away. Is this something to be worried about?
