i was skating and i did these stairs. i kicked the board out because i knew i wasnt gonna make it. i messed up and when i landed, the board popped up and hit me right on my wrist HARD. as soon as it hit me, i looked down at it and saw something white. i thought it was the bone so i git scared. but then it was just bleeding and i started feeling dizzy a little but after a while i started feeling better. but now my hand feels numb and bruised all over.
does anybody have an idea of what i should do or is this normal?

My ankles crack all the time and it is loud. People have told me it has something to do with the tendon but I don't know. Also my left ankle gives out sometimes like if I have been hiking or doing something challenging. I can't even jump off of a swing anymore if i am hanging out at my cousin's house.

I hurt my back last week after a particularly intense work out. I left the gym feeling fine, but felt a horrible pain a few hours later while reaching for the coffee pot! (wish I could say I did it lifting a car off an injured motorist, but of course thats not what happened) It still hurts 6 days later - dull pain in my lower back and butt area. Are there any exercises I can do to loosen it up? How long after the pain stops should I wait to go back to the gym? I am going crazy not exercising!Thanks for any advice - I thought I would be better by now!

From 3 years i was making a school show and my role was carrying a 140 kg boy on my back..... (i was 80 by that time but I was packed up)
So in the middle of it i accidently lost balance and fell, while falling, the whole weight of the other boy felt on the middle part of my back and I heard a squack sound...
I felt pain v much, I didnt go to the doctor, it took me 2 month pain, i couldnt even bend my back because of the huge pain.
After the 2 months i became better but till now (3 years later), i feel a small pain in that part of my back when i rotate my body or bent back,
What could have happened, what could be the solution of the doctor and could i get rid of this pain?

I cut the side of my middle finger (inbetween the 3rd and 4th finger) with glass. It probably needed stiches, but I have little money so I have been butterfly stiching it myself. The cut is fine, its just that I cant feel the tip of my finger. It has been a week.

I would really like feeling in my finger, I need some at home stuff I can do for it. If very severe I guess I will have to see a doctor. Will it just come back over time?

Please Help Me,
Brock

It took 10 weeks for my open would to heal. I had to pack it with gauze everyday and now it just has this ridge of skin on it, almost like a scab. I just wanted to know if this was normal since I've never had surgery or an open wound before. Should I continue to put a damp gauze and cover it? I would appreciate any input from anyone with experience with this. Thanks!

Okay, three years ago, I broke my humerus, and they said there was no nerve damage, but I can hardley bend my thumb unless I make a fist. Also, when ever I put even the slightest bit of pressure on it, my whole wrist hurts like heck! What is it? Should I get it checked out?

I had a nasty accident n my scrotum split on one side and the split part pushed back fully exposing the insides, one of my testicles and all.

nothing was internaly damaged and the scrotum was stiched up and the nurse as been great regularly checking n all. i havn't been particularly embarraced about the whole thing but one things on my mind and i am embarrased a bit about asking.

my wound is still raw n healing as it is an awkward place. but as happy as i am knowing its all working, my erections are troubling me. especialy 2day, i've been getting them since early morn and its on n off now. n its like i wnt to n not at the same time n its killing me. not to mention the pain when the skin streches as it pulls the scrotum and im sure the scrotum keeps softning and stifening.

i should b happy which i am but in pain, from the soreness of the wound, n in a mixed n frustrated state.

i cant engage in activity cause of the wound. any (medical/non medical) suggestions plz.

thanx.

my tongue got burned yesterday night.
stupid me burnt it on something i was cooking over the oven. I lifted it and put it in my mouth... my tongue, at the front part was inflated - small little red circles. I might not be explaining it right, but now it doesnt hurt, but i know that its there and whenever i brush my tongue on the roof of my mouth it feels a little sore.

Right NOW - the circles have gone down so that they are now flat & its a little less red.
Does anyone know what this is called or when it will go away, how i can heal it or what to do to it to make it clear up?

THANKS!!! :)
