Question 1

after playing volleyball i feel pain at the bottom part of the neck on the back side where the spine starts. pressing the spine bone is painful. help.?

Accepted Answer

Overuse injury: Their are several muscles that attach to that area that are involved in extending the head and reaching back at the same time.  The action of hitting a spike uses muscles attached to this area.  Repetitive use that injures this area can result in a type of injury similar to "tennis elbow" or "shin splints".  Ice and rest is very important to prevent significant injury.  See doc if not improved!

Question 2

the inside my knee has been hurting. there is also a bone on outside th pops everytime i bend it 20-30. no swelling. i play volleyball and dive alot ?

Accepted Answer

Patellar instability: Every time your knee bends, the knee-cap (patella) glides, hopefully smoothly, upward along a groove in the femur.  If the support structures of the knee are weak or loose, it can shift to one side then "pop" back into the groove and cause discomfort.  This can be diagnosed by a primary care doctor or orthopedist, and fortunately it can be fixed with physical therapy directed at knee support.

Accepted Answer

If : If your x-ray is negative for associated fracture of the tibia or fibula, it is possible that a hematoma (blood clot) has developed, pushing on the syndesmosis which is a ligament connecting between the tibia and fibula in the area of your complaint.  If this is found to be problematic, consideration can be made for evacuation of the clot.

Question 4

hello doctor 
i'm a regular  football player since i was 8. yesterday i played a match and i feel pain. near back bone a muscle and also my legs?

Accepted Answer

Muscle strain?: It is common to have muscle soreness after physical activity.  And guess what, the older we get, the more we feel it!  At age 22, you are now entering that phase in your life.  Congratulations!

ulnar side pain in wrist, spreads across where my wrist connect to my arm. it occurs whenever i am midseason, i play division 1 volleyball. hurts when moving wrist up/down, side to-side, twisting, and when i press on the set of bones on my outer wris?

Accepted Answer

: Sounds like strain sprain. But in view of your sport needs to be X-rayd. Let your coach/ teamdoc know. Wish wwll in your games.

Question 6

can i play volleyball with my l5 and l4 discs herniated. my pt is saying i shouldnt, but it doesnt make my pain worse. im the captain on the team and its very important?

Accepted Answer

: I would think that your well being far outweighs anything else you might deem important. Risking permanent damage is not smart and certainly not responsible. Your team will play without you, and win or lose there are so many more important issues to consider. As a young adult you are called upon to make adult decisions... make the right one.

Accepted Answer

Be seen: I would definitely be seen to make sure this is not a form if cardiac problem.  If that is ruled out, then GI, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal problems can cause similar symptoms and a detailed exam and appropriate studies can often determine the cause.

Question 8

Would consider: consultation with a sports medicine specialist. Take care.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

POST OP PAIN/HEALING: If you are still having post op pain follow up with your ortho surgeon you need to be reexamined and evaluated for healing. You also should request consult for PT. the surgeon will then reassess when you can resume athletic activities

Question 10

Yes: Yes, we actually recommend most of our athletes with vision issues wear (disposable) contacts during sports. It's also a good idea to have a spare set handy if you lose one or need to replace one.
