Injuries - October 2007

Can they not be paralyzed from the waist down or die from being shot or stabbed in the stomach? I only ask for research on a story I'm writing.

My boyfriend had to go to the hospital yesterday. I was not with him so I am very confused at what is going on. The doctor had to cut him open just below his tailbone. There was an absess? There was so much build up that it basically came out on its own. BUT the doctor told him that he might have something where you get an infection in your bowels and it burrows its way out into the body? My BF was out of it while he was explaining it so he couldn't really tell me what was going on when he came home. Only that he had to return to the doctor on Tuesday morning. Does anybody know what the heck is wrong with him? It was hurting him so badly that he couldn't even sit down. He barely could walk and just trying to help him get up off the bed was painful.

I'm working on a law case in Legal Systems, a class at my school, and one of the opposing counsels witnesses (an expert medical examiner) testifies that because of the fracture on the victims interior side of his left leg, she concludes that he must have been hit (by the car) directly there. But I'm trying to prove that if he was hit directly there, the injury would have been much worse than a simple tibia fracture, because the tibia is weak. I want to prove that he was running across the street and the car hit him on the outside of his left leg, but it still resulted in a tibia fracture on the inside. Is this possible?

I was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder in January 2007 and I've been to physical therapy to learn the stretching exercises. I'm in the thawing stage but it seems the last few months I haven't made much progress and now my other shoulder is starting to act up. Since I'm 80 percent healed I do not want to consider surgery. Have you dealt with this painful condition? Any suggestions?

Have you ever broken your arm? What's the story?

I was about 10 years old when I was playing tag with the kids on the corner house. The house had a lower and upper flat, and they had a back porch with metal railing on top and bottom porch. Well I was running up the porch and was going to jump the railing without grabbing anything, just throwing my foot on it and jumping. I slipped and went head first into the ground, using my arms to break my fall. Broke both arms like *THAT*. Broke both bones. The bones didn't make it through the skin, but I had to have plates and pins put into my left arm on both bones. (so scars on top and bottom of forearm). After healing, about a few months later I was messing around and broke my left arm AGAIN while my right arm was still in the cast (because of surgery, needs more time to heal). Had to have plates and pins and screws in that arm. Few years later I got plate removed from right arm, still had them in left arm and broke it AGAIN, right next to...

This started this past Wednesday... I just stood up in the evening and it was kinda tight. Since then, it's gotten to the point that weight-bearing is nearly impossible... it feels like it's going to explode. swollen around the outside edge, pain radiating down the back of my lower leg. Weight-bearing is increasingly painful. There is no discoloration.

I didn't injure it recent though I did fall and hurt both legs in the spring, but nothing was broken and xrays and ultrasound showed no problems at the time.

I will be going to the doctor tomorrow... but I'm researching the problem before I go. I'm anticipating another xray and perhaps another ultrasound... but I'm very worried.

Anyone have any medical knowledge along these lines?

Last Fri the 28, I fell in a hole just long enough and wide enough for my foot, it was about 15" deep.My heel went in further than my toes at an angle and I fell forward while my leg and foot stayed in the hole.It's kinda hard to explain properly in this small area.But anyways I had 2 X-rays done on Tue and they showed nothing was wrong, was prescribed Tylenol 3, told to keep it wrapped and iced and to stay off work 2 days.I went back to work Fri but got sent home yesterday early because I started crying from the pain of walking on my leg(work in a care center lots of pushing, walking, lifting,NO sitting)Work told me to go to the ER that they felt something more than a bruised bone must be going on, but when I called my hosp. they told me if the original xrays were negative then nothing is wrong with me.So I asked how am I supposed to work and they said that's your problem.I'm in so much pain but apparently they think I'm making it up, what should I do?I really think it's broke/cracked

So I had a soccer game today and im pretty sure at some point my foot was stomped on or driven into the ground cause when i got home it hurt really bad. My big toe was throbbing so i got some icy hot and started to rub it in. I noticed a wierd lump in the tendon leading to my leg. (not sure what its called) So i started rubbing it wondering what it was. Then it poped to the right and i was in major pain. It hurts in my big toe joint all the was down the tendon that popped. I am icing it right now, but i dont know what else i can do. I cant go see a doctor, even though i think i should. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
