Answered by a doctor

I’d wish I knew some things couple of days ago when my kid sustained a third degree burn, as the doctors called those. Luckily, it was only on a small portion of his left leg. But it looks like treating that kind of injury will take some time and I am willing to do anything necessary for him...

Lightheaded after injury at gym, sternum or abs

Answered by a doctor

2 1/2 days ago, I was at the gym lifting weights as usual. I was using a curling machine. Somehow while I was lifting, the pressure of my chest against the upper part of the bench pressed up against it in a weird way and I ended up losing my wind, feeling lightheaded.

And he also told us that she will have to take extra care when the plaster is removed. Are femur fractures...

HAVING CAT SCAN TOMORROW TO VERIFY LISFRANC FRACTURE

Answered by a doctor

Hi everyone! I'm new here, but happy to find this place! I'm amazed at how many people have been injured this way! My injury was much less traumatic than most. A full jar of peanut butter fell from the second shelf of my cupboard on top of my bare right foot. It hurt pretty bad for awhile, but...
