I play volleyball.i dove on my wrist and it hurts.this past summer at vball camp a ball hit my wrist while passing&everytime it hits my wrist it hurts? In brief: Beware of the scaphoid fracture

One of the most common injuries to the wrists from trauma in teenagers and young adults is a scaphoid fracture… These fractures often do not show up on x-ray until they are two weeks old and diagnosis can be difficult… I recommend you see an orthopedic surgeon for an examination and x-ray.

.. In the meantime you may want to put a store purchased wrist splint on

Dr. Guy Foulkes answered:

My left shoulder pops multiple times everytime I move it. It causes extreme pain in my trapezius and neck. Is it loose ligaments? How can I treat it In brief: Shoulder instability

Sounds like you have multidirectional instability of your shoulder. Occasionally physical therapy can strengthen the rotator cuff muscles and stabilize this condition but often and arthroscopic or open shoulder stabilization surgery is necessary.

I recommend you consult an orthopedic sports medicine doctor

What could case pain in spine under bra? It's different pain than the bulging disks I have and much more severe, not muscular at all. I'm miserable In brief: Thoracic disc

Thoracic disc herniations are not as common as low back or cervical disc herniations, but when they occur they will produce pain radiating from the spine along the course of the ribs on one or both sides.

Fell down a flight of stairs over 5 months ago and a rather large bruise on my shin will not go away, and is still hurts to apply pressure to why? In brief: Periosteitis

The shin is unusual in that it is a bone which is extremely close to the overlying skin, not padded by muscle or fat.

Direct injury to the shin may produce inflammation of the outer lining of the bone called the periosteum. Less frequently, this could represent a stress fracture or hematoma. Rarely, an underlying tumor may be brought to light by a trivial injury in the same area ...See more

I had pain in my arm since yesterday and it's from my wrist to elbow and in my forearm and in hand . Do u have any suggestions on what it could be ? In brief: Neck or nerve?

I'll be question is whether you may have injured your neck or your arm… If no injury, then you may have pinched a nerve which produces radiating pain along the course of the nerve.

Common pinch points include the neck, elbow, and wrist.examples of these include carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome's and cervical disc disease ...See more
