Question 1

when i drink a little too much the next day the little punching bag thing in back of my throat gets heavy and looks like it has liquid, touching tongu?

Accepted Answer

Angioedema: You have irritation and inflammation of the Uvula. We don't know anything about you, not even your age, race, medical history or medications; therefore, no relevant response can be provided. You also don't report any problems related to the swollen uvula. I recommend you refrain from alcohol use/abuse to avoid swelling of oropharyngeal tissue which could lead to airway obstruction.

Question 2

why does only one elbow hurt from punching a punching bag?

Accepted Answer

Is it the right side: If you are r handed some time you apply more force when punching the bag and absorb more counter force with it.

Question 3

why do i get a headache every time i use a punching bag??

Accepted Answer

Headache : Probably because of the increase bloodflow and is exercise-induced.

Question 4

is boxing and punching in the air without any punching bag effective like punching a bag ? does it have the same impact on my muscles ?

Accepted Answer

Air punching: Although beneficial, it does not allow for resistance; thus, punching bag is more effective here.

Question 5

what to do if i have hand tingling and shaking after punching a punching bag?

Accepted Answer

Rest: It sounds like you over did things on the punching bag. Hitting a punching bag repeatedly is sets up vibrations within the hand and arm. This can irritate the nerves in the hand and arm and cause some tingling and the sensation that you are still hitting the bag.  This should go away within a short period of time after you stop. If symptoms do not resolve check with your doctor.

Question 6

what if the punching bag in your throat is swollen?

Accepted Answer

Probably infection: That is your uvula. This can get infected. You should see an oral surgeon, dentist or your physician for an antibiotic.

Question 7

what is a good way of getting rid of stress and anger, apart from a punching bag, screaming etc?

Accepted Answer

Talk with someone: I suggest first talking with someone -- possibly a psychologist -- about your stress and anger so you can learn more about why you feel this way.  There may be lifestyle changes that could be helpful to you.  Make sure you're not using stimulants or intoxicating (disinhibiting) substances which can worsen stress & anger.  Regular aerobic exercise can be a helpful stress release valve for many.

Question 8

i was used as a punching bag for 14 years till i walked out i am having problems with my teeth i am so in pain all the time do i need them pulled ?

Accepted Answer

That depends: Just because your teeth hurt, it does not mean they need to be pulled. There are many treatments that can save even badly damaged teeth. You need an evaluatin by a dentist so that you can determine your best treatment options. If extractions are necessary, there are many different options for replacement.

Question 9

i have an anterior dislocation on my right shoulder a month ago. i was wondering if i could do some punching bag workout and pull-ups?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends upon the conditions under which your shoulder was dislocated and whether any injury to the shoulder girdle occurred in the process. With dislocations, the cartilage which helps form shoulder articulation can be injured. Also, rotator cuff muscles can be affected as well. Then there is the question of whether this was a spontaneous or traumatic dislocation. Recommend consulting your Dr.

Question 10

i injured my big toe three months ago at the gym kicking a punching bag. the toe nail is still very bruised but it doens't hurt. how much longer heals?

Accepted Answer

6 months: Toenails take nearly 9 months to grow from back to front, so if the injury happened 3 months ago, you still have a half year until the bruise underneath completely resolves, assuming it started at the very back of the nail.
