Five days ago I fell down the stairs and twisted my ankle weirdly, it hurts when I walk sometimes, and very randomly like twice a day my foot starts hurting and the pain goes up my shin and into my knee, and when I am walking and it doesn't hurt it feels extemely weak. My Parents think I am faking it or exaggerating. Is this a sprain or break? Fracture? Thanks!

I told my parents that my ankle hurts. My dad said that they should take me to a doctor and my mom sais that if you have been walking on it, you don't need to get it checked out. My dad agreed. Do you think that I should still get it checked out?

Also, my mom says she'll wrap it in an ace bandage but does that mean I need crutches so I don't walk on it?

hi i need an answer for my questions my dad is going in for back surgery because he has damaged his forth and fifth nerve and his satatic nerve how long and bad will the healing process be for him also he has a form of diabetis will this affect him when recovering cause he can be really stubborn and not do what he is told especailly when his sugars are low.
also will this mean he will be in a brace?

I believe that I injured my coccyx (tail bone)… it hurts to sit or stress that area in any way. (Kind of like bending a finger that was jammed) getting out of my seat is hard. =/
In case this is important to your answer, I’m a really competitive fencer although that shouldn’t have any correlation to my pain. I have no recollection of how it happened but it started last Thursday.
I’d like somebody with experience in this area to tell me what kind of treatment or care I can do to help that area recover. (how long does it typically take to recover anyway?)

How much is it to get a check up at the hospital? I think I have low blood pressure or low oxygen in my body. it feels very weak. it feels like no oxygen is flowing to my head (sort of) If I walk for long time, I feel like collapsing or something. My muscles feels very weak too....

I broke my nose in Primary school and I'm 14 now. When it was first broken in year 6 It didn't turn out that bad. I don't know for exactly how long it's been like this but the bone in the bridge sticks up, and I can feel it sticking up when i touch it. I really hate it, because from the side it looks really bad. It's not naturally big but after Ive broken it it's been really bad. I could get an operation , but my mum thinks It will get into shape as I'm growing. I disagree because it's broken, not just big. I could get an operation, but my mum said the doctors might say no because I'm still growing. But if i don't do anything now, it could get worse. And it really hurts when I touch it :( Do you think i could get an operation to get it back to it's normal size, without being broken ?

On thursday afternoon I fell over funny on my ankle. On the way back from the GP's ironically. It was sore of course, but now I can not walk at all. I have to take a lot of pain killers just to sleep at night. There is a little bit of swelling but not much.

I have looked on the net but the symptoms of a fracture/sprain/twist are so vague and have simaler symptoms.

I don't want to waste anyones time but I cant walk and I am in a lot of pain.

So..do you think it's worth a trip to AnE or not?

Serious answers only please.

I cannot get an xray because I'm pregnant. I fell last night and injured my tailbone. I cannot lay on my back without support and even then, its excruciating to move. I can't bend over without feeling imense pain. On a more personal note, it's even painful to let out a fart. Do you think I've broken my tailbone?

Im wondering if anyone has knowledge on head injuries and the relationship to having hallucinations and illusions. I was in a car accident and started having hallucinations such as seeing cob webs, smoke rising to the ceiling, specks and bubbles across field of vision, touch sensations, movement in dark rooms, and seeing the shapes of human or animal forms in dark rooms.

She went into the ER because her foot was uber swollen and she says it hurt really REALLY bad. So, there, the ER doctor gives her some pills and after about a week if it isn't better to go to her doctor. Well, a week later, the swelling has gone up, the toe nails were blackened and the skin between her pinky toe was torn. She goes to her normal doctor who say basically, IDK what he was doing. I look up what the pills are for and it says the meds he fave her are for a urinary tract infection (which BTW she doesn't have). So can she sue for pain and suffering, the days she missed from work that she didn't get paid for and the cash she had to pay up front for the ER visit? Does she have a case?
