I have had my legs and feet mostly useless for three years. I had c4-c5 cadaver fusion last month but haven’t noticed any improvement. I have told my doctors that it is my lumbar area that the real trouble is at. I am very obese, but somehow have knocked off 60# in 5 months.

My friend is 5 months pregnant and just received horrible news that her baby has no heart chambers, and no spinal cord I’m so upset for her…she has to go see a specialist in 2 weeks. What is likely to happen?

I was electrocuted 5 months ago and my upper back got all torn up. I still have a lot of pain and some mobility problems, which makes it hard to be as active as I used to be. I don’t eat crazy amounts of food or anything, in fact–we eat pretty healthy. Still, I’ve put on probably 10 lbs and it’s really bumming me out. What can I do?

Accident details:
- My husband and I live in Illinois and we were in a car accident at 45mph
- The car and insurance were under my name
- He was the driver and caused the accident (I was in the passanger seat)
- the car was totalled
- my husband had minor injuries

My injuries
- lots of bruising (immediately apparent)
- i suffered a concussion (determined several days later at a follow up appointment)
- i have a broken foot (a 4mm break) (determined 2.5 months after the accident)

Broken Foot Details
- in the ER xrays were taken of my foot, but they did not see that my foot was broken.
- i walked on a broken foot for 2.5 months but being in so much pain (felt nausous from just sitting down) that i went in again.
- after that doctor’s visit (including more xrays), a poditrist visit and a CT scan, it was determined that my cuboid bone was broken (4mm).
- i had surgery to have a screw put into my foot.

Fall out from foot injury
- i have been unable to work on fixing up my investment property since the accident
- we have been unable to finish it to put it on the market.
- we are really behind mainly due to this accident and that they didnt see that my foot was broken for 2.5 months

Uninsured Motorist Insurance Details
- i had 5,000 in medical payment (which I thought were very low to what I thought I was paying for) which has been maxed out
- we were told that since i was the passenger I would be covered under the uninsured motorist coverage.
-> Can someone explain this to me?

Injury Claim details
- my insurance person said that since i did not cause the accident, i could make an injury claim
- i was told that i would get compensated for any time off relating to the accident covered along with pain and suffering
-> 1st…. does an injury claim mean i am suing my own car insurance?
-> 2nd….approximately what would my pain and suffering be based on all of this?

i was pinned inbetween two cars from a Old Womens Negligence. i was in the hospital for 21 days had my calf removed due to serve damage, broken Fibula i had to go to physical therapy for 5 months how much do you think i can get from this lawsuit. i also had a skin graph and have to wear a compression stocking to stop from swelling up.

I was in an auto accident about 5 months ago and I was at fault. I have state farm and they have already settled the property damage, but the bodily injury claim for the person I hit still remains. How long does this process usually take to end?
The person did not get an attorney or anything, my insurance is taking care of it, so is it normal for bodily injury claims to take this long with out attornies getting involved?

After I filed a calim with my own and adversary insurance , and 5 months later after the arbitration between my insurance and adversary insurance, the case was resolved in my favor finding the advesary driver at fault . Now the adversary insurance is supposed to compensate me for my damages , but they refuse to on the basis that i did not have collision coverage . Please explain and what can I do now? FYI I have a liability insurance

I’ve been lifting weights about 5 times a week for about the past 4-5 months, and over the past few weeks, I’ve been getting pain in my mid-back, and sometimes more lower back. At first I thought it was from lifting exercises from my back/bicep days, but now I think it could be from my chest work-outs (bench, cable crosses). Does anyone know what could cause pain in this region of my back, and what stretches/exercises I can do to offset it? Thanks.

If so how??I had my surgery 5 months ago… I was a gymnast. I asked my doc and he said oh do watever ya..so if any1 out there has had surgery and still does flips and stuff pls go into detail!!!! I have 2 metal rods I. My back now

I have a pinched nerve in the back of my neck that is causing my left shoulder and arm to hurt. I did therapy for a few weeks but it didn’t help. I have been dealing with the pain for almost 5 months now. I take Tylenol but it doesn’t always work. I can’t take aspirin or Advil because of the ulcer I had four years ago. I just want some answers.

my doctor said i have a pinched nerve from wareing my belt to tight and its been numb for like 5 months and now the numbness has moved down my thigh what should i do?

This is the first time in my life I’ve had to deal with chronic pain. I know, I’m very fortunate. I have a bulging disc between L4 and L5 pinching the nerve to my right leg. I now have a greater respect for the people in my life dealing with chronic pain! A therapist suggested supplements to assist the healing process; in addition, of course, to weight loss and physical therapy. I have found very little on the internet that is specific. Is there somebody out there that has a success story that will help my research? What web sites do you suggest? This has gone on for 5 months. I want my life back! Thank you in advance, I look forward to reading your advice.

I was injured in an auto accident 5 months back and still recovering with Physical Therapy, doctor visits, etc. I park far away from my school due to not having a Parking Pass. What is the best way, things to say, etc to try an convince my Assistant Principal in giving me a Parking Pass?

My friend will be eligible to apply for US citizenship in a few months.5 months ago he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of DWI.Would that hurt his eligibility for Citizenship?

I’m 16 and I injured my self 5 months ago. But I have been taking rest for only 1 month now!

However, I just want to know if I should do heating or Icing for my lower back? I tried icing and heating but icing had the best effect. Heating did good for a while but then I felt even more pain later on.

Anyone have any idea how long will it take a usual person to heal? and I also have popping in my groin when I lift my legs and extend it down. I believe its called snapping hip.

I already saw my orthopedist, all he told was for me to rest for 6 weeks to see how the pain sub sides…I’m on my forth, I do feel relived but not as much. I’m really athletic and I wanna get back into doing martial arts again.
