Injuries - November 2007

I am 28 years old and 80lbs over weight (I am working on my weight, I have lost 32lbs to date). I exercise 5days a week... could this cause it? I am also on Fruta Vida Juice.... I took a lot of it yesterday...could this be the cause(it could be just a coincidence)? Please tell me what you think... thanks.

My husband, 32 years old, had been suffering with right knee pain and instability for almost 3 months now. Although we have an appointment with the doctor want to know what he would suggest. His MRI report reads as following:
* Menisci: A large tear is seen involving the posterior horn and body of the medial meniscus. A .5cm meniscus cyst is also seen. The lateral meniscus is intact.
*Bony structure and articular cartilage: Minimal edema is seen involving the most medial aspect and medial compartment. No fractures are seen.
*Joint space: Moderate joint effusion is present.
*Soft tissue:: Unremarkable.
We got the MRI done when he was unable to walk for a day and there was swelling around the knee. Although now the swelling is not there and the pain lessened considerably , but if he walks fast the pain resumes.Is it possible for him to travel (a 20 hr flight) in this condition? Would surgery be necessary? Thanks

about 8 years ago my friend Candace was in a bad motorcycle accident, she broke her hip and split her head open and some other things and was in the hospital in a drug induced coma for a while till she healed, they fixed up her head and stuff but never fixed her hip, she said that the doctors and them decided that fixing up her head and brain was more important than her hip, since then she has had trouble with pain in her hip, she can no longer work cause she can't sit or stand for more than an hour without having to go home in extreem pain, she is on social security disability, even doing things like vaccumming and mowing the lawn are to hard for her, she does go to physical therapy once or twice a week, she is on medication for the pain but has had to switch a few times over the years cause after a while the drug has no effect, she has thought about suing before but life happened and the years went by, could she still sue the hospital or has it been 2 many years?

Ever since I dislocated my Knee 2 years ago everytime it is cold or going to rain I get a ache in my knee. My boyfriend has told me to mention it to my doctor and he may send me off for a MRI scan. But I was wondering if anybody has had the same effect at all after this has happened to them.

im 15, a bit of a wuss. and ive had ingrown toenails, on BOTH feet. on BOTH sides of the toe. ive had em for ages, they have gone pretty deep, only hurt if i mess with em (e.g. trying to perform my own surgery, that didnt go well). other than that they give me little pain, but some days do throb/ they are not infected and show no signs of getting infected. so, whats gonna happen. we have the appointment with the chiropodist, they have said that unless i have a health problem which is affected by the toenail,then possibly no action will be taken. thats NHS for you. ive seen somevids on youtube, and im not happy, im just very scared. and the appointments next january. so im not going o be able to focus on my holiday or christmas, becasue the fact that im off to get my toe mutilated, is imminent.

btw anyone else here got bin to the nhs? what happened did they treat you or what?

The other day my boyfriend got a 2cm laceration on his upper lip and received stitches at the ER, today the stitches are noticeably looser. Is this okay or should we go back to the Doctor? Thank you for your time.

Yesterday I had alot of pain in my elbow and could not bend it or move it. I didn't fall or remember hurting it. I heard that if you sleep on your arm your body weight can dislocate one of the bones? Anyway I can't extend my elbow. Its swollen, and I'm in serious pain. I went to the ER and the doctor flexed my arm(not extended it) did a xray which looked weird to me but he said they were fine. he gave me some pain pills and sent me off. MY arm from the elbow down looks deformed and I can't move it or even write well. Does this even appear to be a dislocated elbow? And please don't tell me to go to the doctor...I already know that. I'm looking for an immediate response from maybe a doctor or nurse on here. Also please give me other things that might be wrong with it. My arm is shaped like a V and I can't even put my hand to my mouth to eat(my new diet plan lol!!!) please help me!!!!!!

I have been told by my 'foot specialist' that i have broken my small toe and it is a spiral fraction. He says I need a small surgery to put pins in it to camp the bone together, but i can move it, and it is getting better. Do you think i really need it? he says it will take about a year to heal properly?
