I sprained my ankle 4 months ago and it was a very serious sprain, one tt kept me out from walkin for quite a few weeks. However, though I've seen the doctor and he says its ok and the injured area is no longer swollen, i can't seem to be able use that ankle properly as it hurts whenever i try to rotate it. When i press the lateral part of the ankle, its very painful. What should i do? Help!

yesterday i fell in my yard off my trampoliene (its only for one person and about 1ft off the ground..like and excersise one) and my wrist was hurting but now its fine. i woke up the morning and have a really bad pain on the sides of my ribs ( left side and right side) it hurts to laugh, breathe, or if you touch it they become sore. there is no bruising though. whats up with it?
**** also hurts with any movement of my body *arms particuarlly
... i didnt fall that hard*** 10 points to best answer***



i dont think its broken cuz when i feel it it doesnt feel seperated but then again i dont know what there supposed to feel like im only 13.


i took aleve a half hr ago it still hurts. i can still move every part of my body it just hurts really bad to move my torso.


when i fell it wasnot onto my chest it was on my hands and knees ( reflex so i wouldnt hurt myself. would that still cause a break/fracture/bruise?)

its only the sides of my ribs my chest seems fine

I fell down and hit my head while watering my grass. I had an instant headache and now my head, neck and left shoulder blade hurts. Also I have 3 bruises which showed up on my leg within 4 minutes of falling down. The are accompanied by 3 hard bumps and they look like they are with the same blood vessel. I'm worried that this is going to cause vericose veins. What can I do to stop it? It is still pretty early being it was only 10 minutes ago, and I was hoping I could do something to stop it from happening.

I fell off my bike over a week ago. My left breast took virtually all the force. I thought it was getting better but now it's like whenever I laugh, hiccup etc. the pain comes on. Also whenever I run or get up from sitting or laying down the pain comes back. This i starting to interfere with work. I have to run around at work a lot and for this week my boss was nice enough to not let me lift heavy things, but since I'm new I don't want to keep asking my boss to make exceptions for me. How much longer is this pain going to last? The pain is not severe, but it's bad enough to cause a nuisance.

I went tubing on the water and I got thrown from the tube really hard and my a** hurt right away, but ofcourse I didn't say anything. When I went to the bathroom and I wiped there was a lot of blood and I had diarhea. I know I am bleeding from the anus and it's not bleeding a whole lot, but enough. It hurts pretty badly, even when I walk. I used Preperation H and some tucks pads. Is this going to get better? Why did this happen? Serious answers only please.

Im a 17 year old female n i have had a prosthetic leg for 8 years already,.. my condition is rather unique, i had a surgary that was done called a "Turn Around". thats when they take your lower leg (below the knee with the foot attached) and they turn it around n place it where your thigh is suppose to be. So that the foot can act as an ankle when i put on my prosthesis. So while everything works good.. becuz my quaduset is now a calf, when i wear jeans one leg looks skinner than the other.. the company that makes my prosthesis is called Hanger but it seems they can make a very good working prosthesis but when it comes to making it look real is not their major. If theres any good companiesnyone knows plz tell me i live in New york Manhatten and i wanna where jeans again!!!

I had an accident with a stapler the other day at work, and managed to get a staple stuck in my thumb, kind of wedged under my finger nail. The children at the nursery I work at will probably be scarred for life from the torrent of swearing that followed.
Anyway, the first aider pulled it out for me (more swearing), and we phoned NHS Direct and the guy said to make an appointment with my GP and have a tetnus shot.
But now, it looks and feels fine - no swelling, discoloration, oozing or soreness, just a little red dot.
So do I still need a Tetnus Jab? I'm also four months pregnant, so can you even have one when you're pregnant???
I'll still make an appointment, if I have to, but I dont really want to waste their (or my) time if I dont need or cant have one. What do you think?

hi. im 13 and today i was playing outside with my friends and when they left i went on my trampolean (its so tiny and only about a foot off the ground..it only fits one person..its one of those excersise ones) anyway.. i fell onto the grass on my left wrist. it got up and thought i was fine but now it kinda hurts. when i move my hand up and down it hurts and my wrist makes kinda like a clicking sound. it hurts to move a little. and my shoulder (left) hurts too. my wrist is not swolen at all. it just hurts to move up and down. IS IT broken or sprained or something? i didnt really fall so hard.

Ok, I live in Hawaii (for about one month) and it is really hot. I am foruteen and I have a below the knee amputation on my left leg. So this morning I noticed that my "stump" was swollen and then I could not fit it into my prosthetic. Should I consider getting a new one, or go without it for a couple of days? Also what could be making my leg swell??

For the past few months (I would say 2-3), my left eye has been swollen. Then it got back to normal then got swollen again at least 3 times. At the doctor, he just said it was allergies and gave me eye drops. However, spring is over. I don't understand why my left eye is still swollen. I use warm compresses but it doesn't help as much. If I wait it out, it gets back to normal but then the next day or two days after, it's swollen again. It happens to my right eye to but goes away quickly in the morning. Could it be because I don't get enough sleep? Or is it just allergies? Could it be a possible infection?

I have been icing it every night and taking analgesics, but it doesn't seem to be getting better. I injured it during a 10k run and haven't run since to give it time to heal. I also have been making an effort to not walk around barefoot as much, as I read that can cause strain on your achilles. Anyone know what kind of doctor deals with that? Is it a podiatrist?

Everynight it seems to happen...I'll be laying in my bed and be woken up with the most intense muscle spasm in my left calf, in the same spot, same leg each time. I don't get it..and usually the pain goes away fairly fast, but this time, it still is tight, when i try to stretch it, and it feels like it will spaz again if I keep trying to stretch it. So I'm wondering exactly why this is hapening? Am I not drinking enough water, is it becasue I wear heels to work? Not enough iron calcium? Further problems?
Help! Quick..

They have been swollen for two weeks, and are painful. He now has trouble holding things. The doctor prescribed Naprosyn, but this medicine has too many side effects and counteracts other medicines he should be on (regulating blood pressure and diabetes).

well im just typing w/ my right hand right now so sry for the errors

2day i was playing soccer(for fun, not officially). i ran after the ball an was running side to side with this kid from the other team, he pushed me and i fell over. the first thing that hit the ground was my left wrist. when i got up it didn't hurt that bad but my wrist was throbbing. my friend told me that if i could make a fist its not broken just really sprained, so i made a fist but barely.

i soaked it in iced water for 25 min and then put it on a pillo for 20 min.

wat it looks like right now: swollen all around the wrist but the swelling has gone down a bit. its still throbbing its extremly swollen by my vain and its hard there, if i lay both my hands on a flat surface, my left hand is slanted to the right while my right hand is straight
