Injuries - August 2007

so ya i was hicking and i tripped and a huge rock hit my heel. as for the four step test. yes i could walk after being injured, in fact i hardly felt it. the next day i could not walk in the morning unless it was on my toes

its now been a week and a half and my heel hurts but yes i can walk and im in martial arts too so i just dont use it to hit the bag.

any pressure on the bruised area hurts. i cant even sit with my feet out becuase the floor touches the area.

i dont want to waste money on another doctor visit. so.... if it still hurts like this for how long? when should i go to the doc?

A couple of weeks ago I kicked a plastic box and lightly bruised my leg on the inside of my shin. Four or five days later there was a lot of pooling blood in the arch of my foot. A week after that I began feeling a large lumb on the area of impact. It still hurts when it is touched. Could I have broken it? If so, it is too late to do anything about it?

just curious, would i break it, or just sprain it, or do nothing at all... if so, would i have to land on it sideways to do damage??
i'm not going to try it or anything(i think lol only kidding) i'm just curious..

Personally I would probably sacrifice a toe for like a million dollars, though not a big toe as it might interfere with my balance or whatever. Can't see myself going much further than that though. How about you?

BTW tonsils and appendix aren't allowed lol

I slept on my arm funny a few days ago. This happens every so often due to the way I sleep but usually the discomfort goes away quickly. This time however I seemed to have pulled a muscle in my upper arm. It's been three days is it too late to ice? My instinct at this point is heat......

I broke a rib(maybe a few) several months ago and I never went to the doctor, I know that was stupid, but too late now... Anyway, after like 2 months they started to be tolerable and eventually they only hurt on occasion, however today they are hurting almost as bad as back when I actually broke them, is this normal or should I be worried?... Also, lately, my breathing has been harder to catch, when I do breathe it is slightly more frequent, it hurts to yawn, cough, sigh, breathe, move, lay down, sit, sleep, talk, etc... In addition I have been coughing a lot last few days, and when I put pressure on ribs its more frequent (in fact, I only cough at night or when laying down...)

I tore a muscle thatv affects my back and my abdomin about seven years ago. I still have pain every once in awhile. I want to get on a roller coaster and want to know if I'm going to cause further injury. I never went to physio therapy and I really want to get on a roller coaster. I want to have fun and I'm really looking forward to this. Please, can anyone tell me from a professional point of view or personal experience?

I got a cold sore 3 days ago. I've gotten them plenty of times, so I began to put Carmex, a lip balm, on it. A few days before, I was hit in the lip with a soccer ball :(, and my lip on the right side swelled. Now, with my new cold sore, the left side of my lip has began to swell, too. Let me just say that I now have a GIGANTIC bottom lip. What helps swelling quickest?

I am writing this for my husband. He is currently laying in a dark room, trying to get away from the pain. Five days ago the doc said he just had a scratched cornea after he was complaining that his eye hurt (said it felt like his contact was folded in half in his eye). Then the pain went into his head. A new doc two days later said he had an infection and that was causing extreme pain to the middle of his head. A doc today said he may have Shingles in his head. His eye is red and he says it feels like needles are poking his eye ball with extreme pain in his head and right behind the eye. He is crouched over from the pain in his head. He can see, but his eye is very teary and maybe even swollen. The doc gave him anit-inflamitory meds and meds to kill a virus. Nothing is helping. It has gotten prgressively worse and worse over the course of four days. He had a lot of stress in his life two weeks ago. Don't know what else to do. He cannot sleep and lies awake all night.

So last week my boyfriend fractured his ankle. As a result of that he now has a cast on his left foot. A couple of days later he stated walking with both his legs but not putting too much pressure on his fractured one.

Is it ok for him to walk on it? Supposedly the doctor told him it was ok to walk on it after a couple of days. I just want to make sure. Maybe he heard wrong and by walking on it he is making his fracture worse. Someone please answer :(

So my friend hit her head really hard againest a wall shelf, now she has a huge wlet on the back of her head which of course hurts. Is there any chance that she got a concussion, and is there any reason why she shouldn't go to sleep?

I'd love to hear anyone's experience with a simular situation. As she thinks sitting in the ER for hours and being told to just take some advil is too likly and costly.

She hasn't got to sleep all night.

I still have a bruise on my leg after 5 months. Why hasn't it gone? It's like a big black/blue mark on my leg but when I first did it (I accidently fell down some stairs) my leg was so swollen I could hardly bend it to walk up the stairs for about 3 days. Is it just a case of being patient or is there a medical reason why it's taking so long to heal? Thanks xx

i usually have wrist problems, but yesterday at tumbling, i came down on my left arm pretty hard twice. and it hurt when i did it, but then the pain went away. but now the bone hurts again, and i don't know what's wrong? can bones be bruised? i'm 100 percent sure it's not a break. because that would be MUCH more painful. but it's pretty sore. does anybody knows what's wrong?

There is a 6 inch ditch in my yard, right next to the curb. My cousin was on her cell phone and stepped into the ditch, and then fell over the curb onto the street. She fell on her elbows, and got a big cut. Does it need stitches?

She says that it burns, even though it is now a half-hour later. We washed it with hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin. It is also bleeding through her band aid. The cut itself is about a little bit more than a centimeter down. It looks black in the middle, and is bleeding around it. There is also a bit of white in it.

Sorry to gross you out, but I'm really worried. Should she go get stitches?
