i was knocked out for a couple of minutes, but now i am fine now. but since i landed on my back, it still hurts. i can bend, and touch my toes and everything. i can reach down,and can walk fine. but when i try to run, go down stirs, or make jump, my back hurts. can you please tell me what is wrong, before i go to see a doctor.
thanks greatly in advance,

I went to a Chiropracter for neck and should problems. In their attemtps to aling my entire spine, they adjusted my back from top to bottom. One of the techniques used was the compresion table, where you lie face down, the table from the waist down is slammed down forcing the lower spine forward.

During my first visit, the chiropracter did this procedure 11 times, until I noticed some discomfort. Upon standing, my lower back felt like "jello" The next day, it went out compltely and I was bed ridden. I went back to the chiro and he explained, "it gets worse before it can get better." and proceded to talk me into another 6 compresions. The next day I was totally crippled and refused to go back. It's been 6 months and my back is a little better, but I'm still cooked, can't walk right and am in pain 24/7.

What can I do about this? Who can I file a complaint with and should I consider legal action? I'm in missery, this guy was a con-man in my opinion.

I had an MRI done on my back bc of severe lower back pain about 4 months ago (the pain is gone). The MRI came back "unremarkable" but did note that there is "a Tarlov cyst at the S2 level of the sacrum." Huh? My doctor didn't go over with me, so I guess it's not important. Help. What made it happen? Will it go away? What's a sacrum??

Somehow I grazed my knee on Saturday night, don't ask how, I was drunk.

It is all red and bloody and it is complete agony, I can barely walk.

Should I get it checked out in case of any joint damage?

I had surgery on my foot 3 months ago and apparently the Dr. sewed up a nerve during the surgery and I'm having pain.
I tried anti-inflammatories, pain meds, physical therapy and now 2 weeks ago he gave me a cortisone shot. It felt great the first week and now it feels the same as it did before the shot.
I thought cortisone is supposed to work for months? Is it possible it only helped me for a week?

I have had low back pain ever since I had my son 13 months ago. It hurts 90% of the day and about 40% of the day it is scale 10 pain. I am only 26 years old. My dr just gives me pain med and tells me to go see a chiropractor or a physical therapist. I seen a therapist and got a 400$ bill for 1 day I never went back. I seen a chiropractor about 5 times and my pain was at a scale 10 all day long. So I stopped. One dr did 1 xray and seen nothing. They are now starting to treat me like a druggy and wont give me enough pain meds to get thru the month. What can I do???? The pain is in the lower back almost to the tailbone. It hurts mostly when standing in one spot or sitting to long. Upon waking it hurts so bad I cry for about 1 hour and walk all hunched over. After about 10 minutes of pain it moves to my hips and in the buttock area all over. It does not go down my legs. When this first started I felt numb in my finger tips. Every now and then I feel a sharp pain when I twist.

Should my knee still be really painful and swollen still? and now it looks like my foot is starting to swell and it sort of feels like my knee is pinching inside... I have also noticed that my foot has to be turned outward otherwise if it is pointing straight like normal it feels like my leg is twisted and something is going to break. sometimes my knee doesnt hurt but then a few minutes later it hurts like crazy. What should I do is this normal or bad?

My daughter was in a car accident Monday Night. In addition to a broken nose, she also did get whiplash. HER BAD. Wasn't wearing a seatbelt- LEARN FROM THIS! I am concerned, I've called the Doctor, and he suggested I keep an eye on the size of these axillary lymph nodes on my daughter. Any suggestions- She has been keeping ice on the sites that are sore- How much time should I give this? Breast Cancer runs in my family, so, of course, I am worried. Normally I wouldn't be panicked, but, as a parent, I AM! Is this normal? Should I be concerned? She is 16. Only sincere answers, please!

I've sprained my ankle about 14 times now, my recent sprain was yesterday from dancing, I landed on it full out angle of my foot. This is the worst sprain in my life. Pain, swelling, etc.
Problem is...I think it's broken? I don't really wanna get an X-Ray done cause it takes too much time. Every time I walk I get pain through my ankle, but today it's a little better, however the swelling doesn't seem to go down that much even if I ice it a lot. About 3-4 sprains ago I noticed my right ankle is impermanently 3-5x bigger then my left since I sprain it so much. I don't know if it's broken or sprained this time?

-The area between my shin and toes is a little swollen too
-My swollen ankle barely go's down from ice, or doesn't even.
-I have some black/purple bruising on my ankle
-Sprained it 14x (Including this one if it's a sprain.)
-Right ankle is permanently bigger then left 3-5x bigger
-Twisted left ankle once.

I was hammering in some nails today, when I missed, and hit my thumb. I was way off, and hit the bone that connects my thumb to my hand.

It is swelling, and hurts when I move it. Do you think I broke/fractured it? If it isn't a break or fracture, what else could it be?

Thanks

I would like to walk or run, but after I fell about eight months ago, I have a knee condition in which it starts swelling if I overwork it. Any movement that requires me to constantly flex my leg for a long period of time will swell up my knee. I feel better now though, but you can be sure that if I exceed my knee capacity it will swell up again easily.

I stil don't have a diagnosis but not because I haven't tried to get an MRI but due to bad healthcare administration in my health plan.
