I've been considering physical therapy as a career but someone told me that physical therapists have to do a lot of feeling/touching people? Is that true? I know you help people move but how much do you have to touch? Where?

Ok. On my long spine right on the very far end bottom of the spine tail feels like a little tiny ball when i touch it.. When i touch that litle lump ball it hurts like burning feeling. When i finger that the little tiny lump ball would move side by side under the tipe end of the spine. (no the bone isnt broken) i just feel a strange little round ball lump that is seating right under the middle of the tip end of thespine tail. I look to see if there are any redness or lumps or such and it seems to be nothing showing on my skin at all.. Just looks normal.

So i presume the little tiny lump is really deep inside the inside skin. When i seat down it burns but depends how i seat down it wont hurt but if i wobble my bum when im seating that little tiny small lump ball would move side by side under that tip end of the spine tail... and when i try stand up it kills me with burn sensation on that small ball lump. but suddently it stops hurting when im allready standing. What could it be?

i have tried almost everything. The one that works for me a little is Advil. is there anything stronger.

My back is sensative to the touch due to having Shingles 14 years ago. My Shingles after healing turned into Post Herapetic Neuralgia (nerve pain). Extremely painful all these years and nothing helps. I even tried the patches for pain and nothing. It feels like my back is swollen all the time.

thing that can be done to prevent bedsores and general sweating of the clothes on his back and provide general well-being (under the circumstances)?

Any help and advice would be really welcome as my father has just fractured his hip bone yesterday morning and had to be carried by stretcher for an xray and back again as the hospital couldnt admit him immediately. He now goes into hospital after 4 days (cos of the hols), but in the meantime he is bedridden and connot move his position *at all*. I change his clothes and assist him with the basics and necessities that he has to do, but its difficult to do things like change the bedsheets, eating in an almost lying down position... I just wish I could do more to make him comfortable. He has a TV.

I was straightening my hair, and my hand moved up too far and hit my straightener, burning a good portion of my right hand pointer finger. I now have a big purple raised mark up the side of my finger. I can't extend my finger all the way. What can I do for the pain? I ran it under cool water, but it only helped for a minute. We don't have any aloe or burn gel. Will you kiss it?

for example theres a white person and asian person that are 50 years old. the asian persons body looks 25 on the outside, has as much energy as someone 25 and internal organs like lungs intestines etc function like a 25 year old. when people look young on the outside does that mean their body functions like someone at age 25?

I am currently 23. This first started when I was 20. I came home one night from drinkin' with friends, and started vomiting and couldnt stop for a week, ended up in the hospital 3 times for dehydration. So, I figured, Since I COULDNT take that kind of pain, I would stop drinking. I did.
About a year later the same thing happened, I woke up one morning, and just couldnt stop vomiting, for a week, couldnt hold ANYTHING down, not water, not anything. I did not have ANY alcohol this time. I ended up in the hospital again. This happened about 5 times now. (I'm currently in the 4th day this time), WHY THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME??
I've been to my doctors who has checked for ulcers and whatnot. He did find a small cyst in my stomach but said it shouldn't be a problem unless it starts to bleed (in which case I'd know because I would be vomiting blood, which im not).. So please, for the love of God can someone HELP me?
Other then this vomiting business, I am totally healthy. THANKS!

I fell Oct 17 and hurt my wrist. The radiologist read my MRI and thought it was Osteo Edema with possible Keinbocks Disease. The nurse misread the reporrt and told me I also had a broken wrist. I have been going to occupational therapy as per my doctor. I have regained like 5 degrees flexiablilty.


But I AM STILL IN PAIN. Around the wrist. Around the thumb. And down the forearm...including hot pain down the outsides of the forearm.

All the bone doctors in my one horse town have given up on me. I think it may be time to go to a neurologist. They are suggesting a wrist specialist.

So from what all I said...can you tell what might be wrong with it?

I'm not going to see a doctor until after the holidays.

I was in a very severe car accident when I was 15. I was thrown from the car going a good amount of speed.
My doctors never found any injuries to my back, neck, or shoulders (aside from torn R rotator cuff), but I have had severe back/neck/shoulder pain since my accident.
I have been on pain meds. (Norco 10-325- 2 pills 3 times a day, and 600MG of Neurontin 3 times a day) since then.
It does treat the pain, but obviously doesn't get rid of it.
I go to a Chiropractor, which helps, but also isn't a permanant solution.
I have had physical therapy, but it never helped.

I am sick of having to rely on pills to make me able to get through a day, and my doctor wants to soon start to slowly decrease the amounts, until I have completely stopped taking them.
I am fine with not taking any meds., but the problem is: the pain is still going to be there, and I can't bear it without some type of treatment.

What other options, aside from these above, are there?
That are more long-term?
