My husband (50 years old) is undergoing "acu pressure" treatments, after he got up 1 morning with a stiff/swollen right arm. He found it helpful and his arm is nearly back to normal, but since then he's been advised to take salt with his coffee!!

I know that in babies, a lot of cartilage turns to bone as they grow, but how common or likely is it that cartilage will turn to bone in a teenager or adult? Say a broken or fractured bone heals not bone on bone, but with cartilage...will that stay cartilage forever or will it eventually harden and turn into bone?

I had a multiple hairline fracture of my 5th metatarsal on my left foot over 2 and a half years ago. A podiatrist said that the damage wasn't bad and they didn't need to rebreak it. But I have had trouble with my foot ever since. My foot throbs continuously and just the other day I was climbing up on a bank and my foot really started to hurt. The throbbing became painful and my foot began cracking and popping. I can't flex my foot and can walk on it, but can't put much pressure on it. My foot almost feels like it needs to be put back in place- almost like when you crack your back or a joint to make it feel better? Once the foot "cracks back in place" it relieves the pain a little bit.

I am really at a loss here. I always felt that my foot never healed properly. The pain and throbbing is on the side of my foot close to my ankle. The throbbing can actually be felt like a pulse and with rest it isn't getting better.
What could possibly be the problem? Did I reinjure my foot?

i sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago playing bball. it was pretty bad swelling, but went away after about a week. also took me about 2 weeks to walk around normally (i was able to hobble after about 10 min), but there is still a little swelling in the ankle. also, i have pain on the top of my ankle when i try running (sharp pain) (it feels like a tendon or something) and a duller pain if i press the side of my ankle bone. if i ice it the pain goes away for a bit. any clue on the best treatment for my ankle?? thanks.... oh and i didn't RICE cuz i've never had an ankle sprain before and didn't realize it was this bad. now i rice though.

My shoulder has been messed up since about 2 weeks prior to spring break. I don't know what I did to it but I can't put a whole lot of weight on it anymore and I tried to bench 140lbs and I couldnt even get 85lbs anymore. It also pops and grinds like crazy when i rotate it. If anyone knows what may be wrong please help me.

I had surgery on May 26th to have a plate and 10 screws inserted because of a broken humerus. I had staples to close the incision and they were removed on June 8th. I then got steri-stripes to cover the incision until it was fully healed. The ends of the stripes are starting to peel off and it's fully scabbed over.

The lady i babysit for is an e.r nurse and she looked at my arm and said if I wanted to take them off, I probably could. I just wanted more opinions. So is it ok to take them off? Also, how do i take them off without ripping the scab off?

I had an accident on October last year, and the first dr sent me back to work lite duty then I was still on pain. I changed doctors then the other dr ordered an MRI and It showed that I had an herniated disc and the mri report explained the pain but once the insurance contacted the dr the dr changed his mind and changed his report he said I am doing very well but I am still under pain and they want to settel my case for 10 thousand. My lawyer said its a good option since the dr said I am doing very well ebven though the mri report and the independent dr report. I sense he might be on insurance side what Can I do ? I am in georgia.

And I'm sure there is something not right with it. My appointment to see the consultant has now been pushed back three times and I'm not going to be seeing him for another month. I tried to explain that I thought there was a problem but they said to go to my GP if I was worried. My GP is not a knee specialist, he doesn't know the ins and outs of the specific procedure I have had and has told me this, what should I do now?

Last summer on July 7th I went to church camp and I got hit in the head with a rock. The rock was huge so I started to bleed really bad... They called my parents and they came to get me and I went to the hospital to get 8 staples in my head. The doctor did not numb me so I could feel everything. It is still hurting really bad.... It hasn't heeled at all!!!!! I have been to the doctor over and over and he said he can't do anything about it....

Has this happened to anyone and how did you stop the pain?

About 4 years ago I was at a party with some people I worked with at the time and I was talking with some people outside when this guy that I had a few problems with at work came out of no where and picked me up (my waist was up to his shoulders, that's how high he picked me up) and then just threw me on the ground, basically body-slammed me. I really have no idea why he did it. I black-out for a split second and when I came to..I heard people saying "you could've killed her, is she dead?" Yeah, it was that bad. Anyways, I was crying so hard because of the pain and someone finally drove me home. I tried to sleep it off but by the morning it hurt so bad that I told my mom (since I was living with her at the time) and she took me to the ER. They ran x-rays and found out I had air pockets in my chest, bursed lung, and a small hint of blood in my urine. Well my question is can I go back and sue the people that lived there? He was a waiter and has no money!
