I was in a car accident about a month a go. (head on) This guy may a left turn in front of me. I was taken to the ER from the scene. I Have a back x- ray and a CT Scan on my back. The doctor in the ER told me to follow up with my regular Dr. I didn' t have the money topay for this visit up front, and My Dr.'s officewould not wave the cost. So I didn't go. I have been having nightmares since the accident and they are getting worse. I also have some numbess in my left hand from time to time.I recntly got a call from The insurance Company to settle my calim They wanted to settle for $5000,and my medical bills would be deductided from this amount. ( total medical cost $4200). I would be left with $800 for pain and suffering. Is it to late to do a follow up with the DR. I don't want to settle and still have medical problems.My mother keeps telling me to get a lawyer,but i just want this to be over ASAP.

hematoma under my patella. According to my surgeon, removing it is not an option, as it will just come back. He wants to wait for my body to absorb it. Does anyone know how long this takes? My patella looks like a tennis ball instead of a knee cap. It's been 2 months already. How much longer will it take? Anyone know for sure, or have an educated guess?
Thanks
Blessed Be

I was at a client's house yesterday and her 100lb dog jumped on the gate as I was closing it, causing it to swing open and smack my hand (the padded area between my thumb and my wrist) with all of the dog's weight on it. It punctured my skin (luckily I'm up to date on my tetenis shot) and it, almost immediately felt as if it was starting to bruise. When I got home an 1 1/2 hrs later, it was swollen and changing colors. I went to the Dr today to have it looked at and they took an xray of it. To my Dr's surprise, it wasn't broken (although it clearly looked like it was), but the bone was bruised so bad that it actually showed up in the xray! It's severely swollen and about 3-4 shades of blue/purple/black. She said that it could take up to a month to heal. Have any of you ever dealt with this 1st hand before and if so how long did it take to heal? Was my Dr telling me worse case senario or should I really be prepared for it to be a whole month before it's back to normal?

I was hurt at work. Went on workman's Comp, had 2 months off. My job wasn't able to meet the weight restriction on my dr. order. Wrist still not fully healed, only was better because of steroid shot, yet they tried to get me to come in and were mad at me because I didn't when it was at its worse. They started to ignore my calls once I was better not letting me come back to work, tried saying I never called them yet phone records would show they just ignored me. First day back at work I had to do a special route for my company not during work hours and told I would be paid for it, and never was paid for it on that weeks check. I keep hearing workers saying they wanted to get rid of me and should have but can't because it was a work injury. Wrist still hurts and I am afraid to ask for more time off because the steroid "quartizone" shot does eventually wear off and I still have bad pains that are hard to work with. They also canceled my workman's comp check early, assuming i was better.

About 4 years ago I slipped down the stairs and landed with my feet at a 9 degree angle. Off and on for the past two years my ankles and calves have been hurting. Sharp shooting pain in ankle and calf. Does anybody know what I could have done to my ankles and calves. The doctor said I tore th tissues in both my ankles and that the inflammation was causing the pain but, shouldn't the tissues have heeled by now. I had xrays taken and no joint damage took place.

so i might have damaged cartillege in my knee, and it might be pretty bad. i got my MRI and they think it might be damaged cartillege, although i dont find out for sure until tomorrow. if it is, its bad. the doctors said that most people dont have bruising as bad as me. the bruise is very very big, about the size of like.. idk a bagel er something. but my knee is also very swollen, and if im up too much my foot gets swollen as well. i am in a big bulky knee immobilizer brace temporarily, and i am on crutches. if it is cartillege, what will they do? surgery? i also heard that if you either have a fracture in your thigh, a fracture in your knee, a dislocation in your knee, or surgery on your knee, you might have to go into a certin cast called a long leg cast. any ideas of whats going on? pictures?

thanks.
=)

I broke my ankle 3 weeks ago and it was put in a cast. Today, doc took cast off and gave me a walking boot, told me to use crutches and put some weight on it, and do hot/cold foot baths. He said bone has not yet fused but it is in the right place. So why would he put me in a boot? He said something about swelling and circulation in calf. Does this make sense??

ive been lifting consistently for about 2 years, im in college, 20 yrs old, well i had a injury while lifting still not sure what it is yet, waiting til monday to see a shoulder specialist, well ive been outta the gym for about a week and counting, and i feel like a bum cos i cant go (doctors orders) is there anything i can do as far as exercise to maintain strength while i stop lifting, or even a way to remain cut and lean while im off.

P.S. for those of you who lift, i ususally do 14 weeks on and 2 weeks off, and ive just come off my 2 week resting period at the beginning of this month and thats when i got hurt, im hoping for the best in terms of the injury, but is there anything i can do to speed up the process..i know i should rest it, ice it, and take ibpuren...

My 3-year-old daughter was bitten by a dog we were fostering for a rescue organization, and she has several sutures on her face and hand that will be removed on Friday. As Friday gets closer, I'm getting more stressed about this because she's already been through so much. I've never had sutures removed before, so I have no idea what to expect. Can anyone tell me if it's painful?
