I am 20 years old and 5"0 and 90lb.

These resulted from a car accident and the doctors hired from the car insurance made the report that they believe my bulging discs were a result of that. But this accident happened 2 years ago and payments for further chiropractic or medical expenses related to these discs have been discontinued bcz they believe I have no lifelong disabling injuries.

My Medicaid expires in 2 months. So I will have no insurance. I asked my physician and she said she doesn’t know how to advice me in that area bcz it’s not her expertise. The spinal surgeon she recommended me to, well their office won’t see me bcz this is a post-car related accident, not something that is birth-related. The car accident orthopedic surgeon she recommended me to won’t see me because my car accident claim has been discontinued.

So I have NO ONE to turn to ask how am I supposed to work out, how do I exercise. Anyone with bulging discs, how do you manage the pain and work out?




partial injury to spinal cord?

Last november I fell from what we all thaught at the time was a stroke. I was rushed to the ER. Given act scan and then tpa medication and transfered to a bigger hospital. Now almost a year later we find I have scoliosis that I didn’t have as a kid and possible spinal cord damage. The whole time thinking its from a stroke now they say no its from my spine.how did the doctors mess this one up?




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.




How can I relieve my lower back pain?

For the last two years I’ve been suffering from lower back pain with muscle spasms. I’ve gone to the doctors so many times and all they can do is give me muscle relaxers and after awhile of taking them they don’t work no more. I’ve done massages and exercises and the pain gets worse. I have no clue what to do any more. Can some one help, please?




had back surgery in febuary.they put a metal plate in my back. they did a 360 surgery on me. thats where they cut mystomache go from that side & flip me & due the back side. I got hurt at work and workcomp doctors said i needed the surgery, so i had it done! I am still having pain Not as bad but i still have it. The scars look ugly" and i am planning to follow thru with attorney on this. I complained & complained to the company to fix the door to the truck & because they failed to fix it i got hurt and to this day it still is not fixed. what would you do ? what would you expect them to do & pay for this kind of injury? Help" i need advice…




Ok, long story short I was hit head on by a drunk driver, he died on the scene. My car was totaled, I had 2 broken bones and had surgery on 2 disks in my back, upper and lower. My medical bills are 0,000 and my attorney is about to send off the demand letter to the insurance company. Their policy is 0,000. My attorney has said he is asking for the whole policy but what is a real figure I might get?

Not trying to get rich but i have small kids and I need to think about the future. I am 32.

They offered ,000 when my bills were about ,000, but I elected to have surgery because I was still in pain. The doctors had recommended surgery all along but I was afraid.

Thanks all, I really appreciate it.
Sorry, they offered ,000 before the surgeries. Not 50. That was a typo.




best schools or classes for divorce lawyers?

Im going to law school and im looking into divorce as my specialty. However Ive read in what few publications i could find on the subject that many schools put divorce as a back burner field and some are trying to weed out the programs that support it as a specialty. apparently it is believed that Divorce lawyers are not the best or brightest of lawyers…. So here’s my questions

1.) What are the best law schools for an up and coming divorce Lawyer?

2.) Why is Divorce looked down upon by other lawyers like personal injury lawyers are?

3.) Where are some of the best places in the U.S. to practice Divorce Law… (National average is approx. 50% of marriages end in divorce and many dont last past twoYears anymore, that’s last I looked so Im sure some one will ream me on the figures… But with those numbers suppose anywhere is good.)

Any other advice on the field from people with experience would be great. I know I want to be a lawyer, I dont really wanna do anything else so persuasion against it or law school would be futile. I realize some lawyers are broke… But so are some doctors and small countries too…

If it helps at all I’m thinking of practicing in Oregon, as it seems to be a place I would like…minus the liberal freaky hippies and the extreme GOP’s there…I’m not positive though…




For years I have had problems with neck pain and swallowing. I have been to over 10 doctors and no one can cite the cause, or give me relief. They all say, "The MRI looks perfect to me." Lately, the problems get more severe when I tilt my head back, or do any kind of physical w




The inner side of my knee has been hurting. I felt something pop and ever since then it has been sore and hurts when I dance/run. I also can’t straighten my knee all the way. I can still walk it hurts but just a little. I looked it up online and it seemed to be in the area of my mcl but does this sound like that’s the issue?I get really nervous when I go to doctors so what exactly will happen? What is the treatment for mcl injuries no surgery I hope….




Accident at the job.
Well it is my father. He’s been injured for about 6 years. He had about two surgerys,and he has been uneployed since then. His lawyer does tell him about how much he should be receiving. All they are waiting for is for the results of the doctors evaluation. Then go to trial.

i had spinal surgery 2 years ago and am still having alot of pain .the doctor has released me from his care–with no pain meds and i take advil constantly–apparently he has never been pain —–and no where to turn for help
i have already gone to pain management and that was a waste of time and money–i truly have tried everything—epidurals,pain blocks,surgery,cryo!the medical field is so messed up,with all the drug seeking people out there that when you are truly in pain and have a real problem the doctors WILL NOT HELP–for fear of being –looked into for prescribing pain meds!!the highest strength med i was ever on was lortab5/500.and i had this constant headache and pain in my neck for 3 years prior to surgery on my neck !!and i continued to hold a full time job during all this–if i had was not truly in pain —i sure would not have put myself thru all of this——i am willing to try anything that might help with the pain–i feel like my husband is so feed up with all this,that he is ready too pack up and leave [who could blame him]

How does the cortisone shot work on my wrist?

I have de quervains tenosynovitis. My non evasive treatment of electrically massaging it into my wrist. That did not work. Now they are considering a cortisone shot. How will that work out. Please only people who are doctors or had the treatment. I am headed to bootcamp and need real advice. Thank You very much for caring.




For years I had problems with my skin [eczema] and I put on pharmaceutical products with cortisone in them. Now, 12 years later, I have high levels of cortisone in my blood even though it’s a year since I stopped using these products. The doctors say that it was all caused by these creams but why is there still cortisone in my blood?




How to become a sports medicine physician?

I’ll be heading off to college this fall (freshman) and am really interested in becoming a sports medicine physician after I graduate.

But I’m really confused on how I become one and what steps I have to take to get there.

Like what kind of courses should I take in college, what should I major in, do I have to go to a medical school after like doctors do, and any other requirements that I would need to become a sports medicine physician.

Your help is greatly appreciated thank you
