I am a gymnast and at practice last night my friend dislocated her ankle so that her ankle bone was on the wrond side of her foot and her foot was all twisted out of shape! ive seen people with hanging arms and backwards elbow! ewwww so i was just wondering how often bad injurys happen like this in sports, and what happen?

3 years ago when I was 17 I went to the doctor because I was having pain in my neck and down my arm into my elbow. I couldn’t turn my head left and so the doctor gave me hydrocodone and sent me to a chiropractor. They sent me somewhere to get an mri and they did xrays. They said the xray looked like I had the neck of a 40 year old woman (whatever that means). They also said that the mri showed that I had a bulged disc. I had a lot of physical therapy and chiropractics. About 9 mo later they stopped physical therapy bc I could now do it at home. I have been going to the chiro since and after 3 years I have reduced my visits drastically along with continuing pain medication. I didn’t make it out there lately when my neck started hurting and it soon moved into my lower back and then my bottom rib on the back right. I went in and he said that I had displaced my rib. He did adjustments and it still hurts just as bad to walk, breath, lay down, bend down, and I keep getting these sharp pulsing pains. I go back tomorrow… but there has got to be something that can fix these issues. I’m 20 years old and I feel like I’m 80… I ache like all of the time now. Is there a specialized doctor that would be better to help fix the problem. I shouldn’t have to take pain killers forever and rely on a chiropractor.

I already go ttested and it is in my left arm, the doc says no weightlifting that involves me bending my elbow, but that is every workout. I am wondering if there is any special natural treatment I can do to make it better.

I have been in server pain for a year now. My Dr sent me to a nerve Dr.The reason I am having all this pain is I have 3 bulging disc in my C spine. Now I cannot use my rt hand some times I have three trapped nerves in the rt arm. One in the neck one in the elbow and one in my hand.I have put up with this pain for a year now. no one know what I was talking about.They did not have any lifts for the residents you had to lift them with out Hope you can answer my question Thank you.
Yes I filled an incident report out went to the clinic they sent me to. Also went to therapy. With out any inprovement I no longer work there any more They treat me like dirt after I filled in the report. They were not very pleased There were three other workers helping life this lady and we had to do it with a cotton sheet.One ofthe other workers signed the incident report.

I got a cortisone injection in the joint of my elbow yesterday, and i have to go back in 3 weeks with for a followup visit. My MRI and EMG came back relatively normal, just a decent amount of inflammation. I am a baseball player, play semi-professionally and in college. What would be the next step?

There’s a tingling sensation in my pinky finger and elbow. Not pain, just a wierd sensation. Does this require surgery? Or is there something else I can do to relieve the feeling?
Uhh, no. My name is Willie.

I somehow managed to fracture my radius close to the elbow joint while doing hurdles. How long will it take for me to be able to start track again and have full use of it?

I pinched my ulner nerve in my left elbow. I work out alot and the doctor said i could only do lower body work outs and core. So i could do crunches and legs work outs but is there anything i can do for my upper body without the use of my arm, i wear a brace that prevents bending.

so back in november, I injured my piriformis. I’ve tried many treatments and am currently going to physical therapy for it. today, my doctor had his elbow on it and now my whole sciatic nerve hurts from my back to my ankle!! what could this be and how can I fix it?! please help! thanks!

I am doing research for a paper and was wondering what would be the effect of a ruptured artery? I know that a rupture in the brain would be very serious, but I was more wondering what would happen if other arteries were to rupture. For instance the one on the inside part of the elbow, the wrist (the one where people measure their heart rate) or the one on the neck.

Any help is appreciated.

I am pretty sure i have a pinched nerve in my left arm where my elbow is. i got this injury lifting weights in january and i felt numbness for about a week and a half. now i can only life 15 lbs with my left arm, but 35 with my right arm. what are the treatments to this? is this a pinched nerve? what should i do? i got my info from this website: http://www.ehow.com/video_6661_treat-pinched-nerve.html

I have a weird pain in my lower back. It’s sort of a sharp pain above and slightly to the left of my tailbone. It feels similar to when a joint needs to crack (like your knuckles or elbow) but it’s not actually between the vertebrae.
Any suggestions for relief?

Three years ago I suffered a major blow to my elbow. I had xrays and (to my surprise) it wasn’t broken and the Dr acted like she couldn’t have cared less. So for the past 3 years I’ve been suffering the symptoms of what seems to be a pinched nerve. Since it’s been so long with the pain often coming and going to the slightest touch, would a cortisone shot really do any good?

Im 16 and a Junior in high school. About a year ago I ran cross country and started having problems with my right shoulder. A few months later I started soccer and I turned my heads back and it popped. I couldn’t move my neck in any direction except to lay flat on my right shoulder. It was VERY painful to move it in any other direction. I also had to use a sling for my right arm because I couldn’t support it after popping my neck. A few months later my neck popped again and I had the same problems. I couldn’t even sit myself up in bed and it lasted for about a week until I had reasonable movement. After the second popping in my neck I had the same problem in my left shoulder like my right. I went to the doctor a month ago and he scheduled me for an MRI. During the time period from April to the doctor appt. in November it hurt to put my chin to my chest and when I did that I felt it in my lower back. About 2 months before the appointment I had a numb feeling from my shoulder to my elbow. A few weeks later it went into my other arm. I went to the doctor and like I said I got scheduled for an MRI. While I waited to get an MRI I got numb feelings from my elbow to my finger. I got my MRI and the results showed I had a bulging disc. He had me take therapy for my shoulders 3 days a week. I was told my neck would heal over the year. This was not good news because of soccer coming up. I kept going to soccer practices and had trouble putting my arms on my head to breathe. I lost circulation fast and had trouble breathing. Im still having these problems and my friend told me her doctor said that with bulging discs whatever your doing you need to stop because I was irritating it. I stopped socce for the past week and only have therapy 2 days a week. I took tylenol during practices and it wouldn’t help and I have to take tylenol at least 7 times a week for my back. Now im not sure what to do and my coach is telling me to play thru the pain, but it is VERY painful. Any ideas?

I think I have a pinched nerve in my left underarm. It is hard to raise my left arm and when I do it feels like it’s pulling. I can’t raise my arm all the way. The pain has spread from my underarm on down to the inside of my elbow and is swollen. How long will this pain last?
