Im a lifeguard and am worried that this is affecting my work, also soeone at work suggested i might have injured my 'scaphoid bone' (spelt wrong) does this sound possible?
Avatar m tn My 6 yr old female cat jumped from a tree branch about 5 ft high. She is always jumping up onto ledges or down from them, she jumps very high, always climbing trees, etc. Anyway, her front paw is now swollen and she will not walk on it, she limps all around. She does not seem to be in pain, she still goes up and down the steps and jumps on and off the furniture and beds, going to the food dish etc.

195500 tn?1257427532 Hi, My 12-14 year old beagle (we adopted her, so don't know her exact age) fell down our stairs Sunday. Basically, I was carrying her down before we went out and I fell down the stairs with her. Sunday night she walked a little slow, but mostly she just looked like she was sore, and seeing how I felt, I didn't blame her. Yesterday, her walking was pretty much back to normal, but I noticed her tail was constantly between her legs, hung down.
Avatar m tn I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.
Avatar m tn First, it is essential to know that what unusual symptoms you are facing after broken screw. It may be possible that broken screw can impinge nerve and lead to some neurological symptoms. Please consult to a neurologist for a detailed approach. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I may not be qualified due to my broken leg. My blood vessels to my leg would also be compromised. If that does not pan out, he thought I would be on Doxil. Has anyone been on Doxil? Success? Side Effects? I am Stage II, 54, and one 7cm tumor pressing on my colon. The tumor grew 1 cm while on Carbo/Taxol over 9 weeks.

Avatar m tn I read this forum and its giving me a lot of hope. I went to Jamaica 2 days ago and my stupidity brought me to this massage parlor. She gave me oral sex with condom but after I came, I noticed that the condom broke! I think my penis was in her mouth for about 1-2 minutes before I took it out. While she was giving me oral sex, I massaged the outer part of her vagina as she did not want me to insert any of my fingers. I felt a little vaginal secretion on my finger while i was doing it.
Avatar n tn We had sex -intercourse and oral with condom and and the end he ejaculated on my skin (vaginal area but not inside) and thigh. I had some four day old tiny scabbed over cat scracthes on my leg and had shaved my vagina earlier that night although there were no cuts of sores. Is there a risk from this outside the body contact . Sorry my question mark key is broken.
1417063 tn?1282107664 I recently had an injury where I didn't roll my ankle or think I did any other damage but when standing up afetr sliding on a slip n slide I had excruciating pain. Swelling started right away and now it is impossible to walk. It feels as though my foot wants to seperate between the middle and ring toe. X rays are negative but something is going on because the swelling after two days is still increasing. At this point my foot has ballooned outrageous.
1196614 tn?1265075773 s my story , i had a broken tibia and fibula as well i was trying tio help a female from getting beaten by his boyfriend , it was slippery oitside my right leg went forward and my left leg went backwards and my big ***( lol ) landed on top of my ankle and distored my ankle and broke my tibia and fibula , i went to the hospital where i stayed two nights then on monday i had to go see the bone doctor at the other hosiptal and told me that your fracture was a bad one .
Avatar n tn Can I just completely confirm that even with her sitting on me with broken skin on my leg (and potentially no underwear) that the above would hold. If so I'll choose where I get massages much more carefully from now and will aim to move on from worry. Best wishes indeed.
Avatar f tn Hi ..right leg broken severly after 7 months no improvement in bone..
1542537 tn?1293207098 Hi, broken bones take a varying amount of time to heal, mostly depending upon the type of bone broken, the age of the person, and the way in which the bone is broken. Larger broken bones, for example the bones in the thigh, or both bones of leg would take a great deal longer to heal, usually six weeks to three months in the average healthy adult. Begin physical therapy as soon as is practical. That will help.
Avatar n tn I had a hair follicle on my lower leg that was inflammed and appeared that the hair was starting to ingrow. I then removed the hair without breaking the skin and thought that the follicle would settle down. However 2 days later the srea has become swollen and inflammed amd very sore to touch. What can i do to help this? I have had this before and each time i have broken the skin by rubbing or nocking it and it has left a scar behind. i have only ever had these on my legs but am now worried.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with graves disease in 2002, but my thyroid levels have balanced out and and I am no longer taking PCU. I have been suffering from leg pain mainly right leg, but will sometimes switch to left leg or both at the same time. The leg pain usually occurs out of no where, the cold only makes it worst. The pain is often so painful that it is unbearable to walk. I remember have this leg pain as far back as 7yrs old.
Avatar f tn I'd like to start off by saying, this is an amazing forum. It makes me want to add possible symptoms of MS to the list - bravery, empathy, and a chronic sense of humanity. My husband has health issues, and I know from experience some online support groups aren't as uplifting as this one. I have not been diagnosed with MS, and hope I won't be. I would love a diagnosis, so I don't feel so CRAZY, but hope it's not MS. I'm sure you've all felt the same.
689327 tn?1240229164 I take Fentenyl patches for chronic pain lupus IC rhem arthritis osteoporosis and 5 herniated disc I need two need two replacements and just had surgery for a broken leg I use MSIR for breakthrough pain and am able to function without the meds I would not get out of bed or be able to function. DO you think this regimeine under a doctors supervision is a good one for pain control or do you have a better suggestion?
1354014 tn?1277082155 the doc that found the RSD after my broken foot was the same doc I saw for the broken foot...he was a orthopedic doc.
Avatar f tn Has anyone broken their pelvis during pregnancy? I broke mine in a car accident years ago and never had any problems with my first baby. This baby dropped at 28wks and my dr says he is almost certain this baby has broken it again. I'm scheduled for csection next week, which is a huge relief with the pain, but he said it could take 6-12wks to heal. Was wondering what other peoples experience was? Did it get better after delivery?
