I recently had surgery and the wound is starting to heal. The problem is that when I cover the wound with a gauze pad (as instructed), it either catches on the stitches (painful) or gets clotted with blood and, when I remove it, it pulls off the scab that otherwise is protecting the healing incision. My question is that is it okay (no detrimental effects) to place a thin coat of vaseline on the gauze before applying it, or to use pre-made petroleum jelly-coated gauze? Or is this inadvisable and why? Thanks for anyone who can help!!!! :-)

This morning I woke up and gave myself a good stretch. When I turned my head to the left side when stretching, it cracked. Now it hurts when I turn it either side, more when I turn it to the left. Can anyone tell me what happened, and should I go get x-rays?

So, my hips seem to be double-jointed. I can "pop" it out and in. Till now it's just been a "party trick"--but when I show people they get grossed out.

A few months ago I was doing lunges with weights and my right hip popped out, but too far, and I was in a lot of pain, missed 2 days of work because of it.

My dad's a doctor and he thinks it's normal. I've also asked an orthopedic doc a few years ago, when I had an unrelated running injury, about it, and he didn't know what to say.

Anyone have any light to shed??

I had a fracture in my ankle about 3 months ago. When I got my leg brace off a month ago it felt pretty good. But now my ankle is starting to hurt again.

I don't really want to go to my doctor, so is there anything I can do around home to "re-heal" my ankle? (like keeping it warm or cold)

I'm not very sure if they are injured. It just happened overnight. Yesterday night I suddenly felt unusual tension around my neck when I was singing, and I stopped immediately. Two hour later I felt odd in my throat. It felt like "sore throat" when you got cold. This morning after I got up, it doesn't hurt if I don't talk, but when I coughed I realised that it could be serious.
Is it very serious or I just some rest? If so, about how long will it take to recover? Do I need to see the doctor now?

I accidentally touched a grill when it was still hot and now I have redness on the thumb, sharp pain on the thumb, and a small white spot.

Should I go the hospital? Will it heal? How long? The pain is sharp.

I have seen the doc and he has given me anti-inflammatories two days ago but I am in quite severe pain especially in the morning on waking. It is really uncomfortable but eases off towards the evening.It has been building up for 2/3 weeks and the only time I feel ok is by sitting really still-hmmn!! I want to get back to normal. Any words of advice and will it last for ages? I have been off work all week as it has been very bad.

My daughter had a pretty bad concussion on Sunday was sent to the ER after losing conciousness for 3 mins. She seemed like she was getting alot better the day after and seemed like she was back to normal two days after. But today (the third day after the injury) she vomited twice. Has anyone had a child that had a concussion if so what was the outcome and what type of sympoms did they experience?

One week ago, DD woke up not being able to feel her legs. They were swollen and red with bruised looking knee caps. We propped them up, the swelling went down but now her legs hurt so bad she is in a wheelchair. Chiropractor and GP ordered an MRI of lower back which came out normal.
Her legs are painful to the touch. She cannot put weight on them, she has two points on her spine that cause complete bilateral numbness in her legs. One spot is just above the hips, the other is just below bra strap level. Manual traction removes the pain in the legs but when legs are released the pain comes rushing back worse than ever. Has anyone ever heard of these symptoms and what they mean? The docs are perplexed and I am getting worried.

Thanks

If you got hairline fractures in your collarbone and one rib, would you be able to sleep at your house the same night after getting treatment, or would you have to stay in the hospital for a night?

Also, what kind of treatment would be given? Would you just have bandages wrapped around your ribs/shoulders, or would you have to have some kind of body cast? (I assume painkillers would be given?)

(am writing a story, in case you couldn't tell...)

A few days ago while I was walking around in the dark, I accidently ran into a bookshelf and hit my nose and I don't know if it's broken. It hurt a lot for the first ten or so minutes, but it didn't bleed and it doesn't really look crooked. It doesn't hurt anymore if you touch it lightly, but if you touch it hard, it still hurts and there's a bump on the top of it. Do you think its broken?

(i would have gone to my school trainer, but hes gone for the next couple of days at his other school...) thank you!!

my 17 year old broke his radius three days ago snowboarding. he can move his arm and wrist fine without too much discomfort or pain. the x-ray didn't look to serious either. How long will this take to heal? is it better if he moves it? is it not as serious if he can move it? Would calcium pills help it repair faster?
