In the middle of ballet class yesterday, my ankle started hurting when I pointed or when en pointe. It still hurts when I do so. My ankle hurts around the Achilles tendon area, but it does not look swollen or red, nor show any other symptoms of any injury. What could it be and what should I do?

Specifically a wound to the shoulder. When can it be taken out of a sling? Also, how long would it take to be discharged from the hospital?

Ditto for a bullet to the leg, not hitting the kneecap or arteries. How long would one have to use a cane?

Two weeks ago I stepped off a pourch and my ankle collapsed and I heard a snap. It swelled up like a baseball on the outter ankle bone. i went to a walk in doctor place and they did xrays and said they didn't see a break and gace me an air cast and told me to stay off it. Basicly I have 2 kids and I have to work so staying off it wasn't much of an option. I limped around for a couple days and then I could put enough weight on it to walk while still wearing the cast. Anyways, my foot and ankle still hurt and it's swollen but not that badly and it's very bruised on the whole outer side of my foot. The paper the doc gave me said that when an injury first occurs a small fracture isn't always visible and that a sprain would be better in a week. I'm just looking for opinions on wether or not I should spend the money to see a doctor again so that if it is broken I don't cause permenent damage.

I fell about 2 weeks ago and tried to catch myself with both hands (palms down). My palms near my thumbs were both brusied and I had wrist pain. Now it is almost 2 weeks later and I still have a lot of wrist pain in my left wrist. I can't turn it out or put any pressure on it. There is no swelling or brusing...just sharp pain when try to move it a certain way and it aches sometime too. Should I go get an xray?

I sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago, and lately it's been more painful than it was in the beginning. I injured it by tripping over some stairs- my ankle bent straight backwards, my toes pointing toward the back of my calf.

It was x-rayed for fractures, but I was just given an air cast and sent off.

Now I can't bend my ankle at all, and if I even touch the spot where my ankle meets the top of my foot, I feel nauseous and want to scream from the pain.

What to do? My ankle and foot are both still swollen and bruised.

I just got a cast off of my arm, and I need to be able to have full use of it in two weeks. I have to start with my elbow, then do my wrist. I had my arm in a cast because of tendons and ligaments...

I was making brownies and the glass pan sliped onto the part of my arm in between the wrist and the elbow in the inner part. It was a few days ago. I have a son and when I hold him it rubs it and hurts really bad, the skin is breaking. The burn was 2nd degree about 1 inch by 2 inches long. Can I cover it and will it still heal right if it is covered up? The blister already popped. It is really red and you can see the skin under the white skin. I don't know what i can do. It is not infected though.

my boyfriend and i were arguing and he pushed me back and (it's hard to describe) kneeled (knelt?!) on my body, so his knees were a bit lower than my collarbone. I heard a crack which is understandable as his whole body weight was on me, and the next day a lump came up which was sooo painful, I couldn't lift my arm or anything and it went through to my back. 3 weeks later its a bit better but still very sore and the lump is still there. Does this sound like a broken rib?

I have been doing ballet for many, many years now and about a month ago I noticed a bruise type thing under my nail on my second toe - a few weeks passed and then I noticed it was spilt in the middle!

I highly doubt that it's my pointe (ballet) shoes so I suspect I kicked it against something without realizing it.

It doesn't hurt, but it is only halfway on now and I see it lifting a bit. I don't know if I should pull it off, leave it and just cut it off when enough grows back, or just wrap it.

I don't want it to intefere with my dancing but if there's no choice then I guess I'll have to get over it. Any adivce?

Thanks

A door just slammed in front of my toe, hitting the nail pretty hard and now the area under my toenail is bleeding. Only the top half is affected (the way the door hit my nail was pretty particular.. it was like kicking a wall with your toes). The front of the nail is also slightly cracked.

Should I be worried? How should I take care of the nail?

it's about the size of a nickel. it's not really visible, just a little pink. it kind of feels like there's little flat stone inside of me. I'm not sexually active. i'm a 15 year old girl.
what could this be?! I've been lifting weights a lot this summer. could it be a hernia? cyst? allergic reaction?

please help!
