My ankle is swollen from the top of my foot to about 4" above it. I haven't injured it in any way. It has only the swelling as a symptom. There is no pain, or redness. It does not look like cellulitis. It's been this way for probably 2-4 weeks. I have a scheduled appointment with my doctor in June. Thank you.

I have torn a calf muscle a week ago, at the moment i am still just about walking on tiptoe, and unable to strighten my leg. Is this normal not to be able to strighten your leg because of the pain it gives. Also, What is it when i put my leg down from having it elevated the pain in the muscle appears, but as soon as i raise it again it goes off.

I was mucking about on Saturday jumping on my husbands back playing bucking bronco.....

Don't even ask....LOL :)

he had hold of both my legs around his waist, when this giant gonk here decides to let go of his shoulders with both hands.....My husband still had ahold of my legs.....I went flying backwards & smacked my head on the pavement.......knocked myself out for a few seconds....hubby says my eyes were rolling & I vomited.....an ambulance was called & I spent the next 5 hours in hospital.....I don't recall a lot about it although I'm getting flashbacks now.....I haven't had any headaches as such....just pain from the bump on the back of my head & dizziness.
I'm training for the London to Brighton bike run which is in just over 4 weeks time.
When will it be safe for me to get back out there cycling? I don't want another fall & certainly don't want to put others in danger if it's too early yet.
I know it may seem like a daft question but, what do you think?

I talked to him on the phone a month ago and said hey coachI am really sorry, but I have to quit the team.[I didnt tell him I had my leg amputated] (I am in level 8 a top-scoret on the team) He was all wow kara, you are really letting us down. I originally wanted to make him look stupid but thats not very nice. What is a good way to say you were wrong to tell me that I was letting you down with out knowing my condidion?? You dont have to answer the question about "What is a good way to say..." Just any ideas are really great!! Thank you soooo much!!
Kara =D

Nice ways are what I am looking for!!!!! *<:-)

I have a lot of questions..
Why do christians pick and choose which scripture they want to take literally?
Why do christians think it's ok to use derogatory terms regarding gays? Do they not think that comes from hate? Why do christians insist on ranking sin? I thought all sins were equal in god's eyes?
Why do christians always throw out the "body is a temple" scripture when many christian families stuff their faces every sunday, sometimes more with horrible, fatty, resturant food? Yea, I often see them at the buffet.
Why do christians try and push christianity on to people that are truly happy with their own faith?
Why are fellow christians ostrasized for having mental illness or simply being sad. They're told to perk up, jesus loves you! Or it's attributed to demonic posession/opression because the sufferer must have "let something in" or just needs to be stronger in their walk with god.
This isnt a hate post.. just some thoughts that run through my head pretty frequently.

Ok my cat bit me about 4 days ago and I didn't go to the doctor b/c each day my hand seemed to be getting better, like the redness on my hand went away, the swelling is just starting to go down and it doesn't hurt as much. One of the puncture wounds is at the bottom of my knuckle and it looks infected and all around that area like on my knuckle and part of my hand is bruised. Is this normal, is it healing?

I sprained my right wrist 3 years ago, and having been through physio, rest & 2 steroid jabs. I finally had surgery 8 weeks ago. I was splinted for 2 weeks and told to go easy for the 3rd week then left to sort it out myself. After it getting no better after 4 weeks I got a physio appointment, but all the non-specialists seem hazy on details as to what exactly I should expect. I can't get to see a specialist for at least another month.

I had my first & second compartments released and I am still getting a lot of pain. Last week I couldn't get to sleep because of the pain. I'm taking ibroprufen, regularly gently massaging area, icing and doing simple exercises daily. Should my pain be still that the first thing I notice when I wake up is the pain in my wrist? How long should it be until I notice a significant improvement?

Any information would be appreciated as the net seems a bit sparse on this topic.

My 2 yr old knocked himself out yesterday morning when he banged the back of his head. Rang NHS Direct and by this time he was totally fine - running around, singing (10 mins later after initial screaming fit). he was out for at most 5-10 seconds and NHS direct advised that i should just observe him, if i was worried to take him to a+e. He was fine all day yesterday and then this morning i noticed he was having a small nose bleed, nothing major, just a really small nose bleed, (normally i would have not even noticed it and maybe thought he had scratched his nose) - this has now continued all morning and i am really worried it is something to do with yesterday. He is fine in every other respect, singing, talking, moving, playing etc, which is why i haven't taken him to casualty. Does Anyone have any advice????

Is my foot broken? On the top of my foot, about an inch from where my ankle meets my foot is a swollen lump. It hurts if a touch it in any way. I can walk on it (unless it is up the stairs), but I cannot put on tennis shoes. There is no discoloration except for slight bruising around my toes. It has been swollen for about 4 days, but I don't want to get an xray unless i absoutely need to.

Ok well about a year and a half ago i injured my shoulder and the doctor told me it was tendonitis. So i rehabed it and it felt fine. Now im playing baseball again, and when i throw normal velocity i feel it but it doesnt hurt that bad. Now im trying to get back into pitching, and the past few times ive tried it it went well but when i threw as hard as i could i felt a pop as i released it then a grinding sensation afterwards when i shook it out. It doesnt hurt but it kind of strikes me as odd. ( No S***) Does anyone know what this may be, and other than go to a doctor can anyone give me a tip to help?

Symptoms:
--Fell asleep in contact lenses that I went swimming in.
--Can not leave my left eye open for too long or I will tear.
--Feels like pebbles in my eye lid and my eye ball hurts.

My dumb doctor insists that I have pink-eye but I know I don't- this is painful and I have no discharge. Eye drops for itchiness or redness does not help... doing it already.

Any recommendations? (other than replacing my careless dr.)

Two weeks ago I was running, tripped and fell onto my leg. My knee hurt for about a week afterwards, and then the pain left, but came back a few days later. Is this normal?
