Question 1

my sister has severe pain and swelling on the inside of her ankle and she has not had any injury. she is 52 years old and works standing all day on concrete kitchen. whatshould she do?

Accepted Answer

Recommend evaluation: Swelling and pain to a localized region of a joint without known injury or trauma always warrants a formal physician evaluation. Work up may include vital signs, x-ray, blood work and aspiration of joint. Recommend formal evaluation by physician sooner than later in a case or swelling/pain in joint without injury/trauma.

Question 2

why might i feel pain after the injury?

Accepted Answer

Injury pain: This is quite normal after injury. The pain is as a result of the inflammatory mediators that are present in the area traumatized which sensitizes the nerves - this is what is interpreted as pain. Its a protective phenomenon.

Question 3

what can i do about my self injury?

Accepted Answer

DBT: Please look into finding a therapist with expertise in dialectical behavioral therapy. Take care.

Question 4

can i massage a soft tissue injury?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: It depends upon the type of injury.  Fresh injuries in particular can get worse with massage.  A good general rule is that if it hurts more with massage, don't do it.

Question 5

how do i best wrap a deltoid injury?

Accepted Answer

See a physio: Shoulder strapping for a deltoid injury is an art that can only be mastered over time. I recommend you see a physio for your strapping. If you still want to give this a shot yourself, refer to the following link.

Question 6

i have running injury, how to recover?

Accepted Answer

: You do not say what your running injury affected - feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hips, buttocks are back ??? All can be affected by running. However, all can benefit from exercising in a pool for recovery. Buy some ankle weights and try walking then progress to running in a pool. It is quite hard to do and gives a great workout that does not cause more injury.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

RICE: Rest, ice elevation and compression until it is checked by your doctor.  Need to rule out a muscle tear.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

See a MD: That's a very vague question. Any specific answer will require a more specific question...

Question 9
