Almost 8 weeks ago I got a pethidine injection when giving birth that hit my sciatic nerve, making the injection not work, and causing some nerve damage, that is still quite painful.
Any approximate idea how long it will take to heal even slightly? Its really getting me down
(Doctor was very vague about it, and just said ‘a while’)

My cousin got injuerd at football practice yesterday, they took him to the hospital and he had spraned his ankle, now my aunt wants to pull him out of football because of it. I mean the boy is 16 he is a MAN! If he gets injured he should be worrying about it, not his mom.

AM I RIGHT?

Also what if we cant afford a medical malpractice lawyer how can we get one?

My mom wants to sue the childrens hospital for medical malpractice.

Hello all, I have a few questions. About 7 months ago I was hit from behind. A fews days later my back started t6o hurt. After a few months of my back hurting I went to a spine doctor. I was told that I have a hernicate disc my Thoracic spine. In just I hade an injection into my spine. That tookthe pain away from about a mouth but the last few weeks the pain is just as bad as it was before the injections. I have been on pain Patches, nerver meds and nothing is killing the pain like Noecos or Hydorcodone. I do not want to keep taking the Norcos but at this point I do not know what else to do. I was told since the disc is my thoracic spine i am not able to rehab it.

1. How many clients would a 1st of 2nd year Personal Injury ("P.I") Attorney expect to handle annually?
2. How does a P.I Attorney build a practice and obtain clients? (aside from the TV Commercial type adverts)
3. This question is for practicing P.I Attorney’s – i assume job satisfaction is very high give you are helping people fight high powered insurance companies and the like, is this true?

So heres the situation: I was in a car accident over two weeks ago. I was going to turn left when a car smashed into me, running a red light. They were totally at fault, I have witnesses. My car is drivable, but I havent been driving it to work since the bumper is off, the headlight is busted, and just basically smashed up. Anyways, I contacted their insurance company (American Access Casualty Company) which from what I’ve read is one of the worst insurance companies who will drag their feet and take forever getting back to you. They finally sent an adjuster out last week, said they’d contact me in 48 hours, and never did. I finally had to call them and leave harrasing voicemails, and they finally returned my call, saying my car is considered totalled, and the reason they havent pursued it further is because they’re waiting on a police report and they cant get ahold of the people who hit me. Im pretty sure this is just bs, as many people have told me insurance companies will say and do anything to prolong paying you. This is my first wreck, so Im not sure what to do here. I already called and made an appointment with a car accident lawyer. Im just wondering how long it should take with the help of a lawyer to get my money for my car, pain and suffering, and time without a car. Im starting school in less than 2 weeks, and have to have a way to get around. Thanks!
i had a big bruise under my chin from where the airbag deployed, but no medical bills, since i didnt go to a doctor. but i had to miss work the day after it happened because of headaches and sore bruise, so that should count for something, plus all this time ive been without a car, in my state (arkansas) they have to pay you for the time you didnt have your car. it was 100% not my fault, i did stop before going to turn, they literally came out of nowhere. i have 2 witnesses, so if anyone tries to say i am at fault at all, i have 2 peoples names and numbers who will say different.

I just looked at a few videos of Sleep Paralysis and I heard that you are paralised and you see visions and stuff. What would happen if a real person was awake when you were having sleep paralysis, what would the awake person see?

I’m assuming I have a pinched nerve but I’m not certain. I’d like to keep away from a Doctor if possible. The pain is almost a tightening feeling. I also have a headache. It is only on the right side though. The location where the "pinched nerve" might be, starts at my neck and ends at my waist, also only on the right side. It only hurts when I breath in and out, try pick up something heavy, or if I lay down. Any suggestions would help thank you.

I injured my lower back about 3 weeks ago. It still has yet to heal after physical therapy. Some of the exercises brought the original pain back. I have noticed lately if im squatting down to pick something up and as I stand I get dizzy/light headed. Any ideas what this could be?

I’m still not sure whether I actually get a doctrine’s degree or just a master’s in sports medicine. I either want to work at a clinic or for a team (nfl, nba, soccer, etc.) Please tell me how I can earn either positions and the steps I need to take for either path. If there are any more paths I can take with becoming a sports medicine doctor, please let me know. Thanks!

i went to er last night for severe swelling and pain in my wrist they said there is a small hairline fracture and to see my orthopedist…what are they going to do for it??….im 14

Does anyone know the most common causes of compression fractures of the cervical vertebrae? My mother was recently diagnosed with a compression fracture in her spinal cord at C7 (neck area).

She was Dx w/osteopenia 4 years ago, but hasn’t taken any steps to prevent further progression other than calcium supplements (and not routinely). She has a history of bone fractures, as she fractured her wrist about 2 years ago in a minor fall.

She has yearly mammograms and had lung X-rays taken last year as part of her annual physical. Everything was fine: no traces of cancer in either place. She is 64 y/o, caucasian, non-smoker, healthy and active, and other than having hypothyroidism, she has no other history of disease.

Her recent MRI did not reveal any type of tumor at the sight, however, they want to do further testing to make sure she doesn’t have a malignancy anywhere else in her body. Apparently many cancers can matastasize in the spine.

What are the chances this compression fracture is due to a lack of bone density and NOT to an unidentified malignancy elsewhere in the body?

Please sight any references, if possible.

Thanks for your help.

A few days ago, I went to the ER with the worst headache of my life. The doctor gave me 10 mg of Haldol im. I went home and at first didn’t even notice the shaking that I was doing. The next day I was severely restless, shaking, blurry vision, and I had severe muscle stiffness on my left torso. I went to a MEC center and the doctor was stunned that they gave me Haldol for a headache. The next day, my regular doctor told me that Haldol is used to treat Schizophrenia and he told me that I could have been seriously injured by the drug.
I feel so mad by this. What was that doctor thinking?!? Do you think that I have a claim here? Let me know.
