How bad is it to weight lift with minor muscle injuries?


I've been working out real intense for the past week and I feel like i've really stretched a muscle in my left arm.
----------

Id say lay off for a day or too, if the paion still is there see a doctor, you could be damaging yourself more then helping. If you have an injury your only going to make it harder for you to build muscle by lifting with it.  (+ info)

What type of injuries have you healed youself on? Are you proud of yourself that you can do it without a doc?


I had dislocated arm which i relocated it by myself, and ingrown toe nails which i cut it off too. I managed to tolerate the pain without any surgery needed! How about you?
----------

Most things I've needed a doctor to fix since I can't give myself neurosurgery etc. I have fixed my broken tailbones on my own since there isn't much doctors can do for them.  (+ info)

Why do I have a large dent in my arm?


In the past few months, I've noticed that in my left upper arm tricep area a noticeable dent started forming. At first it was very small and I just ignored it, but now it's grown to be larger than a quarter. When I touch the area, it feels like the tissue and muscle in that area has just disappeared. It isn't at all painful to touch. I don't know what it is or what could be causing it. I haven't had any sort of surgery or injuries.
----------

if it bothers you, it would be best to see a doctor. he will help you alleviate your anxiety. perhaps will give the exact diagnosis and will even help you with the best treatment. if surgery is the answer, then go for it. it's not at all painfull.  (+ info)

What is a good gift to take to hospital for somebody with 8 broken ribs, broken arm and collar bone?


The injuries are all on his right hand side and he's right handed. I'm trying to think of something to counter the boredom as he's due to be in hospital for at least 10 days. Thanks

Injection mark on the arm after taking a blood test sample?


Just want to know.After you take a blood sample, how long does the injection mark on your arm remain there before it completely disappear ie no visible red mark whatsoever. This question is based on the assumption that the injection/blood taking process went normally without injuries etc

Today at rodeo practice, my friend fell and scraped his arm. How can we help him clean it and take cate of it?


My friend is a 14 year old boy and is a defensive back for his school, so he's pretty tough. But what happened was, a calf head butted him and he fell and scrapped his arm. He got terrible injuries before but with this one, he seemed to be in terrible pain. I am not sure if he cleaned it or if he did how, but if he did not and in case it happens again, what can we do to slow the blood flow, and clean it.
Thank you
----------

Ok one if it happens again make sure you bring something clean to put over it and when and if it happens again get like some bandages and I mean like big ones like three inches by three just enough to cover whatever body part it's gonna cover. And two you want to put some lubrication of some short on the wound after you make sure he puts whatever body part it is under warm water like at least luke warm water. And if he can't reach it put some soap on it like of course some soap in a public bathroom who be fine and be sure to lightly rub it and make sure to get everything like dirt or anything else that isn't suppose to be out of there out. Dry it off after that lightly and you can use like neosparin that is a really good lubrication to put on the scraped up body part and if you can get some force flex or power flex it is basically something that should go over the bandages so it holds them in place. And make sure to put a pretty good amount of neoparin on the bandage and lightly rub it all over the bandage and slowly put it on and then with the power flex just lightly wrap it on the body part. Make sure it doesn't fold over at all because that is very bad if you do. and when you get the power flex that you just tear it off most likely with scissors unless you know how to do that by hand, and place it on the power flex or force flex it's something like that and it will just stick and as a last resort get some like heavy duty tape like duct tape of electric tape or tape athletic trainers use and just lightly put it over the end of the power or force flex so it stays on. And either side of this force flex or power flex should not be sticky at all if it is you might not want to wrap it around whatever he hurts next but if you have nothing else make sure it's at least nothing with a lot of clue on it and take it off very slowly do not let him do it bc if the clue is to strong he might ripe off some flesh. And your very welcome sorry for it being so long I hope your friend doesn't hurt himself but if he does well know hopefully you know what to do if you don't email me at [email protected] or if you have a myspace that works just put in this URL http://www.myspace.com/justwanttomakeyurihappy and no my profile picture is not me im just a fan of the guy who's in the picture. hopefully I helped and tell me how he is doing sorry just curious  (+ info)

What is an arm injury that would leave the arm immobile?


An injury that could permanently leave the arm handicap, and basically impossible to move.

It's for a story, I just need to know how to explain it.

[The injury would be caused by brutal attack by another person.]

Thanks, I'm not too informed on things like this so it would be a big help.

How can you break your arm while skateboarding?


I am not asking this because I want to purposely hurt myself. I am a skateboarder myself and I'm a girl, so I want to know what NOT to do so I can avoid major injuries that would affect my piano playing thanks in advance :)
