I may developed keloid or hypertrophic scar, which do I have?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I had a big hard lump under my surgical incision four months after the surgery.

I had my metacarpal sugery on 28th April to fix my fifth finger. Now the wound has healed and my bone’s alignment is good on X-ray. However there is still that big, hard lump on my fifth knuckle, where the incision is. I am very worried and my surgeon suggest me to do scar message and come back to him in late Oct.

After searching online I realised I may developed keloid or hypertrophic scar. However I would like to figure out which is the one I have (their degree of harm are fundamentally different I guess).

I am 21 years old, male, Asian.

Thank you very much.

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Hi. I am a 28 year old female and was involved in a car accent 10 months ago where a drive ran into the back of me and have occurred whiplash injures from this accident..

the injuries are still ongoing and have put in an injury claim. 10 months on, I am still experiencing slight tenderness in my right shoulder and collar bone. 3 weeks ago i notice the top of my right shoulder was swollen, it has calmed down now although as we speak I am still in slight pain at my collar bone, i m not sure if this is serious as i have went back to my gp who advised just to take ibuprofen and continue with shoulder exercises.

should i be worrying about my collar bone as i googled this and could be broken? but i have not had any type of xray at all for my injuries.

Hockey player has ankle problems, tenderness, bruising and a good bit of swelling?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I am a 18 year old female.
I have had problems with my ankle before but never this bad.
I play hockey and ever since I started (around 9years ago) I have had soreness in the bottom my feet and in the joint. Usually during matches I put a thin ankle support on and it wouldn’t be too bad.
But around a month ago I went over my ankle causing tenderness, bruising and a good bit of swelling, although I could still weightbear on it so I thought it would heal by itself. But now the previous pain when playing has increased and it swells up every time. Any advice?

I have daily headaches and horrible neck pain, pain has gotten substantially worse

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I am a 16 year old female. When I was 9 years old I had a spontaneous allergic reaction and passed out into a wall resulting in a concussion. Ever since that moment I have had daily headaches and horrible neck pain. In the past 8-9 months the pain has gotten substantially worse and has know migrated to all points of my back especially the dimples of my back and tail bone. I’ve been getting dizzy a lot easier than usual in these times. Also, it is not a surprise for my limbs and lower back to go numb multiple times a day. I play varsity softball and am quite nervous to get back on the field not knowing if this is something I should be concerned about considering I have not a clue of whats going on.

I broke my Tibia bone doctors are saying different things?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hi, 3 weeks and 3 days ago I broke my Tibia bone in side of ankle. Doctor in hospital let me to go with bandage only and I had to come for X-Ray every week. Next week another doctor said I must put cast as it it is very serious injury and I need to make sure my leg is not moving and if I put weight on it bone might move again. I said let see next week how it goes. Next x-Ray was ok and we decided to see how it will be next week. So we did another X-Ray and doctor which see me at the beginning said that I can start doing exercise and walk with crutches. I am just scare a bit , because all doctors said different things. What do you think about start putting light weight and walk with crutches and do some exercises after 3 and half weeks of injury?

I fell at work, hurt my knee, doctor and I disagree on problem?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I fell at work several weeks ago and hurt my left knee. Had an X-ray and no broken bones supposedly. Had an MRI and no tears supposedly. I keep telling the ortho surgeon that I feel something moving in my knee especially when I kneel down. Sometimes a sharp pain with it. He prescribes me meloxicam saying the inflamed muscles rubbing together cause that sensation, but I disagree. It really feels like something moving. Not sure what to do
