Injuries - August 2007

i am a 31 year old female. i was studying at school, walked out to my car and as i was unlocking my door i noticed a knot the size of a gobstopper on the top side of my hand close to my wrist. I do not ever remember hitting it. it is not hard nor soft. it protrudes more when i bend my wrist down. it doesnt really even hurt. this happened 3 days ago. any ideas what it could be or what i should do?

I cant flex, or fully extend my arms without pain. I feel it mostly in my elbow and i dont know what it is. Im also not sure where it came from, but it brobaly was from an armbar that was done on me yesterday when i heard a cracking sound. however i didnt notice it then, not evan during the muay tai (Sp?) class after the first.
What is it? How long untill it goes away? Can i go to my martal arts clases without causeing anymore damage?

Long story short. I've been out for 12 weeks with tendonitis in my knee, been doing some biking and swimming to stay in shape. (used to be a runner) Today I got a cortisone shot . Is it safe to go biking/swimming today?

I am not sure if she got bit or twisted herself on something. Her back paws fold under when she tries to walk and the only way she can get around is with me holding up her back legs. She has not gone to the restroom yet either. This happened yesterday morning. She does not seem to be in any discomfort. I have never seen this before in a dog and would like any input anyone might have.

If this was torn would I be able to lift anything of any weight at all? I think it was just bruised, I dont have the money to get an MRI so please leave that out of the answer.

Hi im 16 years old and i am not sure what it was but i got a deep huge cut like hole between my leg and testicle. Im pretty sure it was a pimple but they after it "popped" if left a huge hole that really hurt a lot. Its not healing cuz im guessing it doesnt get any oxygen since my leg and private part are covering it. I already told my parents and they kinda freeked out cuz they saw it. Do u think it wil heal or am i going to get it stitch. im really scared. =/

I recently had a sprained left knee... Walking on the knee doesnt hurt anymore but I cannot bend my knee all the way. My knee is either still a little swollen OR has fluid in it. I believe that it has fluid in it.

I just want to know if I cant bend my snee because of the "swollen" or "fluid filled" knee?

PLEASE DONT TELL ME TO GO TO THE DOCTER BECAUSE I WILL BE GOING. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DOCTORS ANYWAY...

thanks

I got kicked up my bum about a week ago. This girl kicked my bum really hard. I mean really hard. It was just a joke because i was bending over but i have alot of pain on both cheeks and really huge bruises, and it hurts alot and hasn`t got better. I`m 17 but i think she has broken my bum by kicking it so hard. Is this possible? What can i do to help it?

I do not as of yet know the extent of my injury, but have missed 4 days of work so far. I will find out more about my injury tomorrow when I follow up with occupational health.

I fell off of my bike and slammed my knee to the pavement. Their is a semi-deep gouge and some swelling which has gone down the past 2 1/2 days. Treating with ice, antibiotic ointment and rest, can finally sit in chair today normally(2 1/2 days after) but cannot walk down stairs(must go one at a time), going up is not normal yet but better each day(there is still pain even a little at rest). What exercises can I do to help move mobility along or should I wait a few more days, and also is there anything else i should do?

My tibia(bone area on the inner side of my calf) has ALWAYS hurt me for about 5 years or so. It all started when I was in high school in cheer leading, with all the gymnastics and running, im sure thats how I hurt it. But anyways, ever since then when I run(sometimes when I just walk) the pain comes back and its really hard to walk afterwards. And its always super sensitive to touch or put any kind of direct pressure on it. I once got xrays done but they didnt find anything, but I just dont think its "nothing". I hate it because I love running and exercising (if I didnt I would gain so much weight), so I dont want to have to stop. Does anyone know what this could be? I dont know if this helps any, but in HS I had an eating disorder and still exercised alot, im healthy now, but couldn't that have contributed to a bone injury?

I was diagnosed with Achilles Tendinitis, and was given meds and told just rest when it happens and what not.. More recently, it's been hurting a lot, even traveling up to my calf! The other night I was on tip toes trying to reach something when I felt the back of my ankle tear.. gross! I made an appointment with the doc, but what is the normal procedure for this besides painkillers and rest? Has anyone else had this problem or situation happen to them? How did your doc go about it?

I just got the results of my MRI and i have partially torn the ligaments on both sides of my ankle, i've split a tendon and i have a stress fracture. it also say i have Flexor hallucis tenosynovitis. in physio i know it's supposed to strengthen everything, but yesterday they had me on the trampoline and i was in a great deal of pain afterwords. Should i continue to use the trampoline? i just got comfortable on the wobble board. HELP..
does any one have suggestions on reducing the swelling other than taking advil/elevation.. i elevate my foot all day and it's swollen still.
The doctor just said to rest, but i can still come to work.

I mean is there any way (physical therapy, surgery) for me to recover full use of the injured arm so that I can actively play sports that use that arm (tennis, table tennis, etc.)? Thank You!
