Injuries - June 2007

I have terrible carpol tunnel and ulnar tunnel syndrome (from what I have been told by one sport doctor and what I've read). Alot of typing or physical tasks will make the last three fingers of my hand fall asleep.

Also, if I'm on the phone or bend my elbows for over a minute or two, my whole arm falls asleep.

I've done the exercises that the sports doctor told me to do, with no help, and even wear braces..

I'm wondering, despite the discomfort of swollen arms and hands, the numbness in the morning, and the terrible weakness (not being able to hold onto a coffee mug without support from both hands *mainly in the morning*) - will it hurt my arms in the long run?

I have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist. I have been going to the doctors for a while now and have tooken alot of meds for the pain. But it is really now working. Everytime i move and my wrist it hurts. The doctors are telling me they want me to wait until july 3rd to see if has gone away. Than they will talk about removing it. But it has been there since April 26, 2007. It has been 45days. And its not getting any smaller. What should i do? Any advice?

it happened about an hour ago, the nausea passed and i feel somewhat normal again, it happened to be in the lower right quadrant of my abs. i was really scared. are these symptoms normal for a popped ligament or muscle? there is no pain if i sit up straight or walk, so its probably not appendix. what can be done to a popped ligament? Will it heal on its own? Will I die? I have two babies sleeping and a husband sleeping who rolled over and said your not going to die. Has this happened to anyone else? i am fat, i gained 30 for marriage and 30 for each child, i weigh 210 lbs. i did 10 situps on an incline 4 days ago, my abs hurt everytime i moved, but they seemed to be getting better (as far as cpnstant pain is concerned) but i sleep on my stomach with my abs stretched out. and i was sleeping for about 3 hours before i turned over and did the situp to get out of bed and something popped. im kinda freaked out, a little scared any imput would be good. and yeah, i know i need to lose weight.

I was playing softball in early February (4 months ago) and i was trying to catch the ball with my bare hands... unfortunately i kind of missed it and it hit my pinky finger very hard. It was swollen for some days then went down. It also turned blue but the colour was gone after a few days. my finger was bent and is still slightly bent now. Just slightly. Well, I couldnt bother to go see the doctor. But my pinky has VERY LITTLE pain now(after 4 months). So little, I only realize that it hurts when I think of it, or probably im just used to it after 4 months. I can even move it rapidly and it doesnt hurt. I just feel the little pain.....Anyways, when I bend it, I sometimes hear a crack. I don't know what to do! what should I do? And what happened to it?

One of those metal wall sharpeners fell on my middle toes just now. It hurt extremely bad and my toes started to swell and bruise like 10 seconds after it happened. Are they broken? What should I do?

I have this really painful bruise on my knee, from hitting it on a piano bench the other night. Its not very big, but it hurts a lot. Anyway, i was noticing that if i touch the bruise it hurts, but if i pull the skin up, so that the bruise itself is in a different place, but then poke the same place as the bruise was originally, that doesnt hurt at all.
Can someone explain why that is to me?

It swoll for a couple days. Now the swelling is gone. It has been a week and it is a little sore and hurts to move, but there is a big purple bruise down my wrist along the vein line, and there is grey bruising all around on the front of my wrist and it is getting bigger, it seems to be pooling in the middle of my hand and spreading up my arm above the brace I am wearing. Should I go to the doctor. It doesn't hurt to bad and I can move it all around, it's just a little tender. What could cause this?

Yesterday i was helping a friend of mine move some steel. i picked up about 25 lbs of it and stepped off the trailer which was about a foot high. When i stepped off my foot landed halfway on a step and it rolled off, therefore rolling my ankle. I could walk on it for a bit, but then it started to hurt pretty badly. Now i am having to use crutches to get around. It doesnt hurt when im not using it though. Is it broken or just severly sprained?

I have been a runner my whole life. in the past year when i run over a mile or sprint, a bump almost the size of a dime appears just to the right of my shin. Someone told me this could be a blood clot and i'm wondering what it could be and if it could be dangerous.

yesterday, i am proud to say, i saved a kitten from the inside of an engine. it was wedged in and i got it out but what happened after was weird, the engine was HOT on some parts so i had to position myself in an awkard way to get the kitten, my wrist popped a few times while i was doing it and when it was all said and done, i had this pain shooting from my wrist down to my elbow, well i slept on it and i woke up this morning and the pain was gone so i figured it was a strained muscle or something, but then about an hour ago i tried to pick something up with my right hand and i felt this HORRIBLE PAIN, in my right hand from the top of my pointer finger down to my wrist, its really weird, and its not swollen, i know this is a weird question, but i get freaked out easily when things happen to my hand so should i be concerned or is it maybe just a bruised bone?

I've been having pains at the base of my spine and to the right of the bottom of my back. I went to the doc and he did some tests (one where I had to pull both hands whilst he hit my knee) and he told me my back was weak. He told me to do some back strengthening exercises (which I've forgotten how to do) and come back in a month.

Right now it hurts. A few months back, whilst lying down, I had really sharp pains there, unbearable. Then it went away. Could it be that I was doing situps wrong? In PE, the teacher said that you only have to go up to 45 degree, if you go past 90, then your back starts working.

So I was babysitting Saturday night and the younger kid threw a hard toy at my cheek! Somehow I got a black eye from it (or at least part of a black eye) and my cheek is still pretty sore from it.
it looks like someone drew right under my eye with a thick gray/sliver marker then drew on my cheek.
I have to do some once a week work soon, and it wouldn't look very good if i show up the first day with a black eye. So does anyone know the best way to hid or to heal it?

I injured my knee in March of this year (2007) and I've only been able to see a PT four times since then. long story short-they didn't want to take my insurance anymore, and it took awhile to get a new PT. The knee is STILL swollen three months after the injury date and I cannot bend it fully. it feels like life is over.

I guess that he was in a motorcycle accident and had to have his foot amputated. I am in a complete state of shock. All I can think about is what he is going through, what it is like, and how hard the rest of his life is going to be. What should I do? What should I send to him? I am completely confused and worried.

My husband bumped into my heel with a shopping cart about 5 weeks ago and i got a preety good gash that bruised a little bit. after a few days, I noticed it started to look a little bit infected, i begane cleaning it alternately with peroxide, anti-biotic ointment and alcohol, the redness and bruising had been gone for 3 weeks or more, I still have a preety deep yellowish scab and just over the last day the area above the scab and moveing up my leg is swelling (my left leg is not)
I feel morw aware of my ankle, not really pain, a littlle stifness like the skin is tight.I cant see the inside ankle bone any more and just above that point, I feel a slight pinch, again not really pain. Should I be seen? or should I try ice and anti -inflamatory first?

I have this sharp pain underneath my foot right under the arch. People told me it might be plascistis fastis or soemthing but I think it might not be because that is only under the heel. My pain is in the arch as if someone is stretching my feet it feels like. Oh I have flat feet by the way. Why do I have this pain for 3 months now. It hurts at times and I don't know what it is.. HELP
