i was getting ready for a party, since it's almost new years, and i hit my head very hard on a wood desk as i bent down to pick somthing up. my eyes watered and i could barely breathe. in about a minute i noticed a huge bump about a third or a fourth of my forehead and a little bit of blood. it is still swollen and painful right now. i am pretty dizzy and i decided to ask this question to see if anyone knows what is going on, if i should see a doctor, how long it will take to heal, what i should do, etc...
thank you.

I think I may have torn mine, so I'm wondering if the symptoms match up.

I had an injury yesterday- I fell onto my bum bone in snowboarding (bottom of my spine) I think it is called the cocsic bone? and it really hurts to move a lot. Does anyone know what the best "cure" is?
I am on holiday and I want to feel better soon!

So ok, today my ankle's been hurting like heck. I know what happened. On Saturday I was with my cousins and we were jumping on the trampoline and there was no net. I jumped really high and went off the edge and landed on my ankle kinda hard. I could still walk and it's not swollen, so what is it a twist, sprain, hyperextended, or even broken?

well...i was sitting at the computer talking to my friend
&& i went to stand up && my stomach was hurting reeeallly
bad! it's on the left side && it feels like a cramp [like a pulled muscle]. idk what could be causing it, it just came out of nowhere! what could it be?? how can i stop it from hurting?? should i take a motrin && put heat on it?! 'm really scared that it's a tumor or ulcer or something!
btw...i'm 15.
it hurts when i move...but when i press down on it, it doesn't hurt as much.

I still can't use my hand. I tried to pick up a FORK and my wrist hurt. I forgot for a moment a few days ago and picked up something that only weighed two pounds...and I spent the rest of the night in agony.
This pain seems like I will never be able to use this hand again.
The doctor even admitted , it's not getting better and may always be this way.

What would make a simple fall RUIN my hand permanently?
Have you ever heard of a seeming small accident causing a lifetime disability?

i injured my shoulder joint 5 years ago, broke my collarbone, dislocated my shoulder. I have been stubborn, as I am a violist and I am scared that I will not be able to play anymore. I finally went to an orthopedist and he did an MRI, without dye, and x-rays, and came to the conclusion that I have tendinitis in my shoulder, and he gave me a prescription for naproxen, and sent me to physical therapy. I couldn't do the exercises without being in too much pain to even get up in the morning, so i was stuck with massage and tens unit therapy. I went to a new doctor, who said I have glenoid hypoplasia, which means my shoulder socket bone is too small and the treatment is major surgery to reconstruct the socket and tighten the joint. He sent me to a specialist, who said I don't have glenoid hypoplasia, I have hypermobile joints leading to multidirectional shoulder instability, so he gave me a cortisone injection and said 8 weeks of physical therapy. I don't know what doctor to believe. help!

I've had one for months but just had an MRI and was told it was torn. Lately it's been feeling a lot better with rest, mild stretching, etc, in fact no pain. Haven't seen the specialist yet but I'd like a pre-opinion.

I have had the stroke 5 years ago and still struggling with recovery and my leg and arm muscles seem spastic. Will I ever get the movement back with prolonged exercise? There is no problem with speech or memory,only with movement on left side. Can you help,please

I'm going to the dr. but can someone tell me what a chipped bone or small fracture feels like? In my entire 31 years I've never broken a bone in my body (thump thump - sound of me knocking on wood :) ) and my foot/ankle has been killing me. My husband thinks its arthritis, but I don't know.

when i get stressed out or upset or have problems with anxiety i tend to bite or chew on the skin over my knuckles on my hands, and its not really something i can help. it doesnt break the skin or anything but my knuckles are usually sort of red and sometimes have scabs, like when you have a small abrasion or something. i know its kind of gross, and i wouldnt really consider it self injury but my friend thinks it is

My left arm broke and my cast is spread from elbow to 1/3 of my fingers.. doc said to wiggle my fingers to help the blood circulate but I only do this every few minutes cause I keep forgetting..should I just wiggle them the whole time? They look so pale and feel cold compared to my right hands fingers.

how do I get them warm and not blue?

Two days ago I was sledding. As I came down the hill and landed on the frozen pond, I fell and hit the back of my head on the ice. It hurt and I when I got up, I tasted blood. My vision and everything is okay but I've had a persisting headache for the past two days. Is this normal?

I'm not depressed. I'm very happy at times it's just when I get angry I'm hysterical. I usually just bang on the wall in my room or spike a volleyball hard but I didnt feel like doing it this time. A while ago my mom gave me a surgical blade to cut out planter warts on my feet. I never used it. But I took it out of the wrapping and cut myself. The cut is so small it looks more like a scratch. I've had bigger accidental cuts with a pencil! Its about this big ----. Not very big at all. I washed it with achohol and held it hard until it stopped bleeding. I also think my sister might have seen me do it because I was crying and saying "ow" a lot. I know I probably won't do it again because I didn't like how it felt at all. In fact, it didn't help me feel any less angry. I feel angrier now then I did before. I just want to know if it will scar and if there's any other way to get my anger out.
