Injuries - June 2007

and hit the back of my head. It didn't hurt at first, but within an hour I felt a lot of pain. I did not get dizzy at all, I was not nauseous or lightheaded. But I did feel a little spacey and out of it...is this a sign of concussion or anything related to this?

PLEASE HELP...

If half of your hand is bruised including the middle of it and the palm. The area below the thumb (palm of the thumb) is bruised also. part of your thumb is bruised too basically half of your hand. You don't have full range of your thumb say as if you can't touch it to the ball of your pinki or grip a softball. also if it was swollen for two or three days before the swelling went down.

do you think it would be broken?

About 3 days ago I woke up after having slept on my hand and I noticed that my thumb was getting poor circulation. I was hoping the problem would fix itself, but 3 days later and it is still getting poor blood circulation. I think its getting some blood as it isn't completely numb but it also feels partially numb. What can I do to maybe get the blood flowing again through it?

Also, if it comes to having to go to the doctor about the problem, what sort of doctor would be best for this kind of problem?

I have scoliosis and have been figuring out how I got it. My mothers side of the family had like 1 case of it, but its still unknown to doctors of how people get it. I rode the 'double loop' at Six flags once with my friend. During the ride my body was smacked against the seat and once I got off my whole back was in pain especially my spine. Right after that incident I got scoliosis about 1 1/2 years later. If it could/possibly be true then I am sueing those baggers. Steel coasters are not fun.

He has been sleeping all day... And I am worried about him. My husband was assaulted wednesday night and spent the night in ICU. They said his brain was bleeding. The C/T scan on Thursday morning showed that the bleeding stopped, but bruising remained. They released him Friday afternoon. Today is Saturday and he seems worse than ever. He is constantly sleeping. I can't even get him to wake up to eat. I am worried and curious if anyone has experienced a similar injury.

My son stuck a blueberry up his nose and it's WAY up there....I can see it with a flashlight, but it's like up in the part of his nose where the bone is, not in the cartilege area. We've tried closing the other nostril and blowing it out, and I tried to make him sniff pepper so he would sneeze, but it didn't work. Do I need to take him to the ER? I don't know what to do!

My son (2 years old) was very sick a couple of days ago, he was running high fevers and could not hold anything down. I ended up in the ER and was there until his fever broke. Last night I noticed a sore on his lip and thought it must be a cold sore. This morning during breakfast he would not eat and was sticking his fingers in his mouth so I grabbed a flashlight and looked inside and saw another sore. This afternoon I went to put some more medicine on the sores and noticed that he had so many more sores. They are on his tongue, in between teeth, on his cheeks, and inside lower lip. Are these still cold sores? I was told that that are just on the outside, and they don't look like Canker sores. Could these have been caused by the fevers he was having? Anything a Doctor will do, or will they just tell me to use the pain reliever from the store?

i tripped and went flying forward to end up knocking my arm on a trash can. i thought it wasn't anything so i rested it and put an icepack on it, i didn't realize it was a broken blood vessel til' a family member told me about an hour after the accident. it's been about a half hour after finding out and i want to know if there's anything else i can do. now it's just a big bump on my arm that's kind of purpley and reddish.

I just fell off my bike. I hit the curb. I have a headache because my head hit the ground, I had a helmet on. My knee also hit the ground and I have a minor scrape. I did fall on my left breast and now it's hurting like crazy. I move my arm and it hurts. Now my back is starting to hurt. I was able to to ride the rest of the way home. How long will I be hurting? Also will a bruise form on my breast?

Hi...I was just bitten by a cat (long story, but not her fault)...she was in boarding and highly stressed.
I am allergic to every antibiotic I have ever tried and I am away from my home country (Australia) in Canada where I have no health insurance. It happened about 2 hours ago and doesn't look infected yet, but of course I am worried.
I saw a doc here who was rude and useless and said they all get infected 24 hours later and I have to take antiobitics....when I told her I was allergic, she didn't really care and acted like there was nothing she could do then. I'm tempted to get back on a plane to Australia this evening so I can get proper treatment if I need it, but not sure what to do. I'm up to date on tetanus and the cat is healthy. The area feels bruised, and there are 2 holes that are a bit swollen, the others not so bad. If I go back to Australia, that's not good as I have to leave all my cats behind here in boarding til I can get back. Please help.

I got my cartilage pierced on Sunday nite by my friend with her piercing gun. It was fine up until Yesterday morning and by nite it was bothering me so much, I had to take it out. My other friend came over to help me, and she said it looked like I had my earring pushed back really far, so much that it was irratating my cartilage and once I took it out she always mentioned that there was a cut back there. I woke up not long ago and my ear is STILL red, throbbing, and it looks like theres a yellow puss where my ear was pierced. (When I cleaned my ear last nite there was some yellow stuff that came off also.)

From reading up on this, it seems like my ear is infected, but what do I do? I'm really scared. I REALLY don't want to go to the doctor? What will make it heal on it's own? Will I be okay if I don't go to the doctor?

Please help!! Thanks.

my son who is almost 17 months old banged his head last sunday at universal studios...it became a bruised bump outside his head...I took him to first aid and they said the bump is better out than in so he will be fine, they gave him tyneol and tried to give him ice and refused...the swelling went down the next day and it was just a bruise...then yesterday, he hit the same spot when he fell into the cermaic boot i have(it's a decoration) this time he got a bigger bruise and 1 cut like a tiger slashed him across his forehead....the cut is now covered in dried blood...a lot of my friends say take him to the doctors but he fell and he is playing and fine. I know my son better than anyone else..what do you think and what would you do?
