Injuries - May 2007

I had a horse accident tonight. The main injury is between the bottom of the ribs and above my hip bones. It swelled to the point of being over the waistband of my pants. Are there any serious injuries that could be in this area? Mostly it hurts when I put weight on that leg, twist my back, or lean forward.

he dropped it..felt something move in his lower back..didn't think about it at that time..there was no pain...after sleeping during the night..he has had severe lower back pain when he moves, (ie: rolling in and out of bed) sometimes when he sits up he'll feels and hears a crack...he's had pain on the right side of his lower belly and on the right side of his groin area. (ie: testicle) it also hurts for him to cough or sneeze when he's laying down.

His pain has been coming and going for 3 days now...today was when he noticed the pain in his groin..

we thought it was a pulled or torn muscle...but are wondering if it's more severe...should he go to the doctor..or should we let it go for a couple more days in case it IS a pulled muscle..

any suggestions?

My daughter was running in track 4 weeks ago and twisted her ankle, but it seemed ok after rest. Two days later she stopped running the 100 to check her time with the coach. As she turned, she heard her ankle "pop". It was very bruised and swollen. We went to the Dr. and she was given an ankle brace to wear, but did not take xrays. After a couple weeks her ankle still hurt and was swollen. She had a 6hr dance class one Saturday were she was just "stepping Out" the dances to learn her placement, and after about 3 hours her ankle felt better. When she came home the swelling was down. Do you think her ankle was out of place? Now today during a walk, she lost her balance and fell. Again, lots more swelling than before, I imagine bruising to come. I have brought her to the Dr. for an initial visit and checkup. Now I have her scheduled to see the chiropractor tomorrow thinking last time it was out of place. What do you think, broken?Our daughters name is "Crash" and she is accident prone!

Well, today in my 1st period class we were playing Wiffle Ball and I ran to second and I think I step weird or when the guy tagged me I fell down. I didn't even realize he had hit me, and all I felt was pain in my ankle my friend helped me up and i could bend my ankle a little and put slight pressure on it but.. it hurt and when the teams switched sides I went to the teacher and told her. She asked me if i felt it twist.. and truthfully I have no idea if I felt it twist due to the caught up in the moment of wiffle ball. My teacher gave my some ice and I kept my ankel on ice till I had to go to my next class. But, I cant really tell if my ankle is swollen or not. it still hurts to move it like over 6 hours later since I hurt it around 9:30ish this morning. I can put slight pressure it just hurts alot and I can sorta walk on it.. I think iIeither sprained it or just pulled half a dozen muscles around the area.. I would like your oppion about what I have done to my ankle.

Hello, I just got ankle arthroscopy done today and I was told that I had a severe ankle sprain with reactive synovitis. I was wondering what that meant and about how long my recovery would be. Also about how long I would be on crutches without any weight bearing. Thank you!

My doctors want to do an MRI on my foot, and the lady said there hasnt been any studies on whether or not the MRI will be harmful, she said theres just alot of magnets. She also mentioned that alot of people wait until their 2nd or 3rd trimesters before doing this... However, i can barely walk on my ankle as it is.. Would it be a good idea to go through with the MRI now? or should I wait?

On Friday night I was in my half-bathroom cleaning, there is no counter top in this bathroom only a porcelain sink and pedestal that the plumbing runs through. I slipped and (I am so embarrassed) knocked myself completly out. I woke up on the bathroom/bedroom floor and when I tried to stand the pain in my head was so severe that it brought me to my knees. Iced my head, I actually cracked a porcelain sink. I have had varying degrees of the following and although its is better I am still having symptoms:

1. Blurred vision/eyes hurt/ with extended computer use at work and or reading or writing.
2. Constant headache with varying degrees of pain depending upon whether or not I am doing work/reading/writing.
3. Loss of depth perception which also varies depending upon what I am doing. From mild to severe.

Unable to get to an appropriate physician have no health insurance.

How concerned should I be?
Some suggestions on what I can do? Should do? etc.? Worried!!!!

I was hit from behind in a car accident while giving a stoping hand signal. At the time of impact because of how my shoulder was located between the door frame the ligaments in my shoulder were torn. After about a month of severe pain i went to the doctor and was given medication as the blood from the ligament being torn went into the arm and shoulder muscles and had become infected. The accident was in Feburary and the medication was taken throughout April. My doctor said that after the medication everything should be fine, however we are in May now and i still have much pain and limited use of my right hand. Is some form of physical therapy needed and if so what can i do to start this process.

My 9 year old son got burnt by his 4 wheeler over the weekend. The doctor gave us silver sulfadiazine. He is a very good rider and has been riding for a year this is the first accident he has had. Also he is supervised every time he is riding so it's not a lack os supervision.

After about 1/4 mile my left tibialis anterior, shin muscle, swells up and gets very painful from about mid shin down to my anterior ankle. ther is one vein that becomes very inflamed as well right at the bottom of the muscle. The pain can become so severe that I can no longer run and it becomes hard to dorsiflex my foot. After about 20 min though the pain is gone and I can continue for another 1/2 mile then the pain comes roaring back. What is it and what can I do to fix it, I need to pass the police entrance exam in 2 months.

My mom broke her foot two weeks ago tomorrow. She got a cat scan done last Friday and it said that her heel is supposedly crushed. They say she can't walk on it for another 2 months (she'll be on crutches) and then after the 2 months i guess she can only put wait on it for like an hour. I guess what I am asking is, is there a way her foot can heal better? My mom has a job to get back to in Wisconsin, and she really needs to get up there. Any rememdies or something that could help it heal faster? Please, please help! Thanks!

It's a strange injury I have. One minute it hurts bad and I limp in pain, the next it it totally fine. there is no swelling or discoloring. What set it off this time was a simple run on a tread mill. But I've had the same pain there off and on for some years. All I can imagine the original souse to be is too much skate boarding as a youth or possible it was a reaction to a year in which I avoided using it because of a fractured bone in the foot.

I have got a permanant pain in my shoulder. It doesn't move smoothly, it grinds and clicks when I move it, sometimes I have so much pain to the point of being sick. The doctor said it was from an injury, but I dont know what, or how to fix it. He gave me some exercises, and it didn't do the job. I have had pain for 9 months now.

I also have had a heart aneurysm recently, I dont know if it is connected to my heart. They both started around the same time, I went originally to see the doctor about my shoulder and they found the problem with my heart. could it be connected??

I'm only 27 and female, so it's quite rare for me to have a heart aneurysm. Could they both be from the same injury? what can i do with it lol

What would cause a black toe nail? He says it's been like that for quite awhile. He says it hurts to the touch. What the heck could be the cause of this? Do you think it's contagious?
