My son 18 mths burned his forearm on the underside between his wrist and his elbow about 3 weeks ago on our woodstove! :( Now, 3 weeks later, it has healed SO well so fast. However last night I noticed that a small blood blister has formed where the worst part of his burn was! This morning it was larger! It is only on the burned are, and only 1/4 of the area of the burned area which is about 1.5 in in diameter. Does anyone know why this has happened? I am going to go to the doctor here in a bit, however I was just wondering if there was anyone else whom as experienced the same situation before, and if so what they did!? Any comments very appriciated!!!!!!! Thank you :)

I can't find any good exercises to do for my shoulder...
Everything seems to make it hurt more,
like when I run,it really stings.

When I lift any weights more than 5 pounds,it also stings and makes it really painful to lift things.
Are there any good exercises to build up my shoulder?

Thanks! ^_^

My brother said for the past 5 days on both hands his ring and pinky finger are numb. when he raises his hands up, it hurts and feels like his funny bone pops? he is 42, was in a car accident back in april or so, just brusies and bumps, he was been working at a pizza place, and kneads the dough, not sure if anything is connected. He is going to the doctor soon, but we were just trying to figure things out. Could it be something with B12? lack of? i have been searching online.

I had my gal bladder removed 3 weeks ago. I felt a lot better write away. I was up walking around the next day and in 3 days I felt almost normal. But when I do normal things like driving or reaching and bending alot I start to get this really sharp pain on my wright side where my gal bladder was. The pain is very sharp and takes my breath away. If I take a deep breath or bend over it feels like I have a knife in my side. When I wake up the next day I feel a lot better and my pain is hardly there.
Should I be worried? Is that normal?

Girl Friend of 7 years and knows my condition allowed me to lie there for several hours. She poked my left side with a pin constantly as it was numb and unmovable, I could barely answer. Isn't that a crime to allow someone to possible die and not call 911? I awoke very sore with little blood dots down my left side. Isn't there a law to cover this? I feel it was intentional. A friend of mine came by during this and stayed beside me till I was able to talk. I feel she violated some law in Indiana here.

my friend cuts her self, yes its her fault and she knows it, but im worried about her...three or four days ago she cut (with a bit of broken glass), its not very deep but its very big and the center is greeny colour, she said it is hard to the touch and isnt VERY painful but slightly, also around it it has about a MM of redness, she also said that when she did it, it was very hot to the touch but isnt any more also she is not experienceing any symtoms in herself, she is willing to go to a doctor but not unless its really serious like it could end up geting like chopped off or something.

anyway thanks for listening, post your views pleaaase

ok all her injurys have been a result of me!!

1. i was riding her around on my bike (she was on the back wheel) her foot got stuck in the wheel and her foot got mashed up and like broken bones like when i was 10 and she was 7

2. i was crying behind the back of a shed and she came to see me and she stabbed her hand on a rusty nail said "owh" and she had to have a operation! i was like 7 and she was 4 (i know it wasnt all my fault but i was in the situation as to why she did it)

3. today i shut her little finger in the door (i was mucking around trying not to let her past the door didnt realise her finger would be in the way!!) and its probably broken and she has to go to hospitaal tomorrow im 15 and shes 12! (ive done this before)

and theres various other ones too like glass in foot

So, I’m a bit clumsy! I literally ran my kneecap into my door (really hard) last night. I rested on the floor for couple minuets (to recover from the intense pain), got up and it didn’t hurt too badly so I decided I probably didn’t break anything. When I initially hit my kneecap it got swollen, a little bruised, red, and felt a tingling feeling down my leg. Now (the next morning) it is just a little swollen and red and it hurts to put weight on it (like when I get up from sitting), bend it or touch the area, but it doesn’t hurt too much to walk on it. I really don’t want to go to the Dr.’s and find out its just bruised or something. I have broken a bone before (my arm and my toe) and both times the pain was different. Any who know what a fractured patella feels like? Anyone have any suggestions (other than just “go get an x-ray”)? Could it just be badly bruised?

i have a fractured patella. on the xray, it looks fairly straight and does not appear to go entirely through the bone. currently i am wearing a soft leg brace and using crutches. i don't have much pain, but a little discomfort when sitting at a desk for a long period of time. above the knee area is swollen. tomorrow i go to an ortho for an eval. i don't want to have surgery if i can avoid it...do you think this will be possible? thank you!

I had a c-section almost 14 months ago. two weeks after having it my incicion came open on each end. i had to pack it for about 3-4 months later. now 14 months later one side is still draining. i have went to my doctor several times and he says that everything is fine. he even cauterized it a couple of times. but it still came back open. so i finally went to get anther opinion at a general surgeon. he said what they used to close me up were non disolveable sutures and it is what is probably causing all the trouble. not only that he said i havea staff infection. not one of the bad kind but it is a staff infection. well this past thursday i had surgery to see what is going on in there. he did find one of the sutures still in me. he said that is what has been causing all of the infections. my obgyn never even put me on any antibiotics. i think my obgyn should have to pay for everything. should i go to him first or should i get a lawyer first? please give me your opinion.

I don't think it left a stinger, and I don't know what kind of wasp it was. Possibly a yellow jacket. I put some calamine lotion on the bite, and she has an ice pack on her foot. Is there anything else I should be doing? She's never been stung before, by anything. Thanks!

Hey guys yesterday, friday october 26, I was messing around and acidentally punched my friend's knee. It was a very hard punch and when it happend it felt really weak for a moment then I applied ice immediately for quite a while. Anyways, right now it's not swollen, and i can't see any bruise on the outside but when I close my hand it feels very stiff and the joints are very sore throughout my whole hand.

I have a hockey game tomorrow and was wondering what I need to do should I move it a lot or use ice/heat or what?

I will take any advice please help :)
