How can i fake an arm injury that will last a few weeks?

---

if you have faked an arm injury before could you please tell me what i should do to make it really believable. thanks :)
faking injuries is rather difficult for most people. your body will want to react normally, so, unless you put a concerted effort into it, you WILL move you 'hurt' arm in normal ways.  (+ info)

No one answered in injuries. So, I can't straighten my left arm all of the way...?

---

and when I try to force it straight by pulling it down with my right hand, it's extremely painful. I didn't hit it or do anything to break it. It's been like this for the last two days. It won't straighten at the elbow. What could be wrong with it? I'm 26 by the way. And I took some Advil but still can't straighten it all the way. Even when pulling on it and trying to get through the pain it won't straighten. Almost no pain when I'm not trying to straighten it. On a scale of 1-10 a 9 when trying to straighten it. I don't think it is tendinitis. It occured once before but went away in a matter of hours. This has been two days. Please help. I would rather not go to a doctor if possible. I haven't worked out in several weeks and it's my left arm so I don't use it very often.
dont go to a doc, most dont know a lot of orthopedic stuff. Go to a Physical Therapist. get a reference for a good one. If you dislocated your shoulder or elbow, they can manually put it back into place. Ice it & IBprofen.   (+ info)

I have scars on my left arm- how can I make them fade or go away?

---

I don't want to get into the nature of the scars or why they are there, but they are there. Is there anything I can do to make them less noticeable, or possibly even make them go away completely? They are from injuries I sustained about five years ago.

What is causing the muscle twitch in my arm?

---

There has been no injury to my arm that I'm consciously aware of. It started to have spasms and twitching episodes as of last night and has persisted into today. It doesn't hurt, but it does catch my attention because it feels strange. It's in the muscle right below where your forearm and shoulder connect. Does anyone know what may have caused it or how I can get it to stop? Any help is appreciated.
called "fasciculation." Don't worry about it, unless it persists or spreads.  (+ info)

How to recover from FOUR ARM Injury?

---

I recently got a crack in my right arm. How recover from that?
As you are going to be a doctor you should know the principals of fracture or any discontinuity in bone. First keep it in anatomical position as much as possible. Second reduce the use of that. Third eat some good protein and calcium rich diet.  (+ info)

What could be the cause of swelling in my hand and lower arm?

---

Approximately 1 year ago, my hand and lower arm swelled. There is no associated pain, just the discomfort of being swollen. No injury to the hand or arm. Have had x-rays, CAT scan, MRI, a doppler study, and various blood tests. No one has determined the cause.
No itchiness or numbness. I've been told it is not lupus, arthritis or gout.
get tested for arthritis. it's usually accompanied by pain but there's a first for everything and people have different symtoms. also have they checked you for diabetes or thyroids. that's all of my ideas as to what could be causing the swelling and discomfort. this is how it started w/ me the swelling in my legs. i was diagnosed with arthri last summer. arthritis  (+ info)

I am a healthy 20 year old female with severe and inexplicable pain in her left arm. Any ideas?

---

I am a healthy 20 year old female with severe and inexplicable pain in her left arm. I did not injury my arm that I am aware of and there is nothing outwardly wrong with it and yet the pain is so bad that I'm driven to tears. I took some advil but it did nothing for the pain. I have NO idea what could be wrong. I'm scared but can't go to the doctor until at least Monday evening. Any idea what may be wrong?
If it just started suddenly, you should at least call your hospital to ask for advice from a triage nurse. They may want you to come in.  (+ info)

What kind of injuries would you get from a fight ?

---

I mean like for example, if you got into a fight with some one, and all you and him really did was like punch each other in the arms or in the stomach or w/e, but like in a real fight, what sort of injuries would you get ? is it possible to get broken bones, and im talking about high school fights
In a right fight you can get your face broken. Yeah it happens.
Or break a rib. Even if it's a school fight.  (+ info)

My right arm has a spot about the size of my palm on my bicep that feels like it's asleep.?

---

It gets tingly and now my right index fingertip is doing the same thing. I made a Doctor's appointment but It isn't until the 16th of next month! I haven't had any injuries to my arm.
Need to call the office, and explain that you have an acute process going on. Most docs reserve 2 15-min slots in their scheduling for emergencies or acute issues. So tell the receptionist that this came on very suddenly and you are somewhat fearful...

Just be sure to do range of motion with your right arm that will involve making the wide circles with your arms. Can lift some light weights anytime you think of it (Milk jug, the cat, the kitchen chair, anything a little heavy will work). Can get down on the floor and do some push ups and/or sit ups etc. the idea is to keep the blood flowing and loosen muscle that may be keeping nerve pinched.

Call the office.  (+ info)

why do i feel a sharp pain in my elbow when i straighten my arm?

---

for reference, i am a 24 year-old female NOT involved in sports. i don't recall suffering any injury to my elbow. it only hurts when i straighten my arm (lock the elbow) or if i apply pressure or lift something (while it's somewhat straightened). and it doesn't hurt EVERY time, just most of the time. this happened once before with my knee and continued for nearly a year. what the hell is wrong with my joints?
