I have a friends who thinks that her son accidentally got a hold of a 9 volt battery and touched his eye with it. She found him crying coming out of a room where she found the battery. He was holding his eye. She said that she rinsed his eye but he still cried for awhile afterward. I'm just wondering if it could have caused permanent damage. Anyone experienced such an injury?

in Feb i fell in the street and bent my thumb back, at first i thought it was broken, as i was in agony.

i went to the hospital and it was confirmed that it wasn't broken i had just strained the tendons.

since then, there is a lump that has come up (About the size of a pea) on my wrist, which i must stress doesn't hurt.

also my thumb still feels a bit sore if i try to clench my fist, at which i can only describe is like the tendon is being pulled.

ANY IDEAS??

since christmas i have been having back problems. about every other week i have been going to the chiropractror. for the last month my back pain has become more serious. i get in so much pain that i dont want to move or wake up in the mornings or anything. and it makes me cry sometimes. two weeks ago (or three... i cant remember exactly) it got so bad that i couldnt walk. so my mom took me to an emergency clinic (Solantic) and they told me that i was having bad back spasms. (what causes them any way? and what are they exactly?) anyway. they put me on muscle relaxers for a week (3 a day for 10 days... but i didnt take 3 a day b/c they make me tired and i didnt want to fall asleep at school) and my back got better when i took them so when they were done i was fine for a few days but now the pain is back and i dont know what to do. i put heat and ice on it. i try to rest it a lot and take advil. and we own a massager so we use that on my back too. but it doesnt really help. what to do pls

I dislocated my should 2/15 and have been going to phy. therapy but theres been no improvement.Now my doc says I also have frozen shoulder.so he has me set up for surgery in 2 wks and says he has to go in and clean it up and perhaps He might have to do it again in the future.Am I going to get any good improvements after such surgery,some people have said they doubt it.Also I pay for my own insurance and it seems that its a fight all the time,but do insurances have limited trips for therapy?I have tto start all over again after the surgery.I guess i'm looking for some uplifting news.Thanks.

I fell down roughly 8 steps yesterday and since then, my head is pounding with a headache, my back is very sore but no bruising. I can walk and move my arms but my shoulder and neck hurt a little. My pain is not severe, but with all these symptoms, I am wondering if I should bother waiting in emergency for 12 hrs just to get looked at. I would hate to waste someones time.

Anyone know the procedures for a bone deformity. I broke a bone in my foot (the outside of my right foot at the little toe) 3 yrs ago and just reinjured it, the doctor says I now have a deformity. I'm hearing lots of horror stories like the bone will have to be rebroken and reset?

ever since trying out the back exercise "the superman", i've been dealing with a lot of leg muscle and joint pain. the pain started the day after trying out the exercise, and most of the leg pains have gone away over the course of a month with the exception of knee problems. the knee problems have actually worstened. symptoms are occasional redness over knee, rarely stiffness, pain "behind" kneecap and around the knee area, mostly tendons. if i put my hands on them, i can also hear them make a creaking noise, though ive probably had this before without noticing it. ive been going to a chiropractor and have seen some improvement. pain becomes more constant and stronger a few hours after exercise.

is this just a case of overworked knee, or did i do something serious to it? i about a month before experiencing leg pain i had started doing sprint exercises.

sorry if its written poorly, im in a rush and can add info in necessary.

It isn't the joint really, feels like the muscle or whatever behind my knee aches really bad. Oh and just under my knee hurts...but if I wear heels, I don't have any pain at all. Is this crazy or has anyone else had this happen?
