Please don't preach about the whole "Dont cut yourself you could bleed to death" as right now I'm gonna get help for it. I've been cutting myself with an x-acto knife below my left thumb, there's about 5 cuts horizontaly, which I cut 3 days ago. Right now it hurts when I touch it, and I can see a red background over it. Please keep in mind that I always use perfume on my cuts and over the x-acto knife to dissenfect it, and I put a bandage on it. Is it infected? How bad is it to be infected? It is severe?

Two weeks ago, I fell down 14 stairs and sprained both my left knee and ankle. Last night, I fell out of bed and sprained the right knee and ankle. I can barely walk - the first doctor told me not to put any weight on the right leg, and now this doctor is telling me not to put any weight on the left leg. I'm on crutches - a wheelchair isn't an option with stairs and such. I keep falling and crashing into things, because my legs aren't strong enough to support me. I see a gen. med doctor on Tuesday, and the sports medicine specialist on the 18th. However, now both feet/knees are going numb/tinkly, and one ankle is significantly paler then the other. Is there anything I can do in the mean time to help with the pain, swelling, etc? I've been icing it. Also, any tips on how to get around the house easier?

He fell over yesterday at work and broke his ankle. Itwasent his fault, he isa mecanic and was working and stepped back on to loads of stuff, like wire and stuff and it tangled around his leg. He twisted around and all his weight was on his ankel and it snapped. Had to share the gory details

Will he get any compensation, I hate people who fake things and claim but this was a real accident.

Have I sprained something?
I started swim team on monday and ever sience my ankle muscles on my right ankle have been a bit sore. yesterday though I got off of the school bus and when I stepped on the ground a sharp shooting pain went radiated through my ankle and I couldnt walk for a minute than after about a minute I could gradually limp back along to my house. I used crutches that I had at my house for about 15 minutes and than I sta down. at swim team yesterday Every time I went to kick My ankle hurt and than I got a cramp in my foot which has never happened before. Today my ankle still hurts when I move it up and down, when I move my toes up and down, and when I push on the ankle on the soft part. as soon as I felt the pain My ankle swelled up and the entire ankle turned bright red within like 30 seconds. What is puzzling is I dont remember twisting my ankle. It also hurts when I run,or walk but I can sort of walk with pain and run barely with alot of pain.

It been going on since May 20th. The actual incident that caused my low back problem started in March when I slipped. The surgery would be out patient non-evasive. But recover time is 8 to 10 weeks putting me out of work for 2 months!

Why do people look at you differently if you park in a handicap spot and get out and walk into an establishment? You don't have to be in a wheelchair to be handicapped. My mom looks normal but has severe neck trauma for the rest of her life. The pain is excruciating so walking the shorter distance helps. She is pretty much in pain all the time and even with having a pain pump she still has trouble dealing with it. You don't have to be in a wheelchair to be handicapped.

I am 24 going on 25 years old and have had knee problems since I was nine. Because of these problems I have had 2 surgeries on my right knee. Now my left knee is giving me problems. It started out as a tight feeling on the back and outside of my knee. Then it would swell and a knot would form on the outside. I had a MRI done about 8 months ago and the doctor says there was a small cyst in there and that it was nothing to worry about. Since then my knee has been getting worse.Now it is popping and hurting all of the time. It also feels like it getting caught and sometimes when I am walking up or down stairs the middle of my knee cap hurts and makes my knee give out. I have done a lot of research and have come up with nothing. I have no insurance but am tired of the pain. Any advice would be greatfully appreciated. Thanks!

I pulled a tendon in my knee about a week ago and it hasn't felt any better. It keeps swelling and hurts when I bend it. I've tried going jogging but thata hurts and I really want to start running again because I have to stay in shape for cross country and I want to be able to workout. So if anyone has any ideas please tell me because its really starting to bother me. Thanks to everyone who answered.
