Injuries - October 2007

I am 45 and I'm noticibly shorter than I used to be. someone explained that the squishy stuff in your spine compresses as you get older and you get shorter. well, I'm not really happy about the idea and I'm trying to stretch more and I want to know what I can do to regain whatever I may have lost. pretty silly I know.
thanks

I was playing soccer with my friend and fell and my wrist instantly hurt very bad and my elbow hurt to but not as bad as my wrist.Later on that night we went to the E.r. and they took 3 x-rays of my wrist and 4 of my elbow.When the doctor came back she said that I had a fat pad sign and there could be a posible fracture.I go back to the doctor on monday.Do you know how long i would have to wear a cast and what kind of cast if it is a fracture? thank you

I just dislocated my leg a moment ago and it hurt like HELL! I had to grab it and pop it back into place with my hands. Now that was PAINFUL. I'm very sure I didn't dislocate my knee cap. My knee cap was fine, the bottom part of my leg seemed like it came almost completely off the top part. Right at the knee area. I can hardly stretch it now, and it still hurts. When I walk I can't put any pressure on it or it feels like hell. I don't have medical and I won't go to the doctors. Can you explained to me what may have happened and what I can do to help it heal faster? It's swelling bad and when I touch it, it feels like jello. All that for a pack of smokes. Went out to get some and when I got back this happened at the stairs. I hit it the wrong way too hard by mistake.

Thanks, I appreciate the help! :)

I hit my finger while smashing my tennis racket, and it didn't cut, but instead it started bleeding inside the skin. It's been a week and the wound has probably healed, but the scab is underneath my skin so I don't know how I'll get rid of it.

Scabs fall off, but how is this one supposed to fall off? Now theres a tiny black patch under my fingernail

any ideas?

it happened about an hour ago, my eye is a little sore, theres a red mark the size of a bb on the white part. Its also a little bloodshot, my vision in that eye has gone a little blurry but i think its coming back, i can focus up close.

Problem is its 1am, is it worth going to the A&E or should i just wait and see what its like in the morning?

I have severe stomach pains on my right side and I keep throwing up. I feel really dizzy and faint about 70% of the time and my pulse is really fast. The pains in my stomach are getting worse, to the point of unbearable sharp cutting pains. Please help me.

I stepped on a rusty nail 2 days ago and I am going to the doctor today to get it cleaned and a tetanus shot. But now my toes are swollen and purple, and I can't move them. I'm sure it is just trauma, but I'm not a sucker for pain and this REALLY hurts! Does anyone know if they will give me crutches when I go to the doctor, I can hardly walk.
