Toe Nail Rip: Bandage or Open Wound for Healing?
my toe nail got ripped off im using bandage on it should i avoid bandage to leave it open ?
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 11th Sept '24
A toenail injury sounds unpleasant. Ripping off a nail may lead to pain and bleeding. Bandaging helps keep the area clean, or leaving it uncovered if bleeding is minimal. Cleanliness prevents infection. However, if severe pain, redness, or swelling occurs, seeking medical attention is wise.

My son has had a snowmobile accident that removed his bicep and the other small muscle on the front of his dominant hand. The ulnar and radial nerve are functional after the initial surgery. He is in the anchorage hospital. But wants the best care and treatment to gain as much use back from his arm as possible. Would he benefit from being moved to a level 1 trauma center from where he is at. Also he wants as rapid of treatment in the healing as possible.
Male | 39
The functioning nerves following the procedure are promising. Relocating him to a trauma facility could benefit recovery, as they focus on treating severe injuries. Immediate care is crucial for optimal healing. The trauma center offers specialized treatment, therapies, and resources for the best possible outcome.

I’m curious how much this usually cost, I have pre existing sprain or slight tears as well. That I’m sure this or stem cells else where could fix. I’m just looking for a ball park range since insurance won’t convert it
Male | 31
It is difficult to estimate the cost without knowing the severity of your injury and the treatment required. You can also visit hospitals that provide stem cell therapy and discuss your options with the specialists and getting a detailed cost breakdown, insurance coverage before proceeding with any treatment.

Take medicine for leg pain 10 days. After that 3 or 4 days when eat food feeling nausea and fatigue.. don't know after effect medicine or not when eat lunch rice feel fatigue and nausea
Male | 65
If your belly feels upset after taking medicine for leg pain, that's normal. Nausea and tiredness can occur due to certain drugs. When you consume lunch and feel ill, your body reacts to the medication. Ensure hydrating well and eating smaller, lighter meals until you feel better.

I am 82 year old female who was hit in the right shoulder by a waitres in the dining room where I live. The shoulder is dislocated and the current doctor I saw said the ball is small so it will keep coming out so he did nothing except order some physical therapy to help strengthen muscles in the area. My arm is losing strength and I I am having trouble even getting dressed using that arm. Who can I see to get a second opinion as to what to do to solve this problem.
Female | 82
Your dislocated shoulder seems challenging, and arm struggles are tough. Since your current doctor didn't help enough, seek an orthopedic specialist's expertise. They specialize in assessing shoulder issues and recommending treatments. The right treatment can improve strength and relieve pain.

Infection and fiber Leg
Female | 60
An infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter through a break in the skin. Usual signs are redness, pain, heat, or warmth there, and growth of the affected part. You should clean the wound properly, bandage it with a clean piece of cloth then visit a dermatologist if there is no change. Oral antibiotics are usually prescribed to be taken as prescribed. To prevent future occurrences, make sure that you keep that place clean too.

Hi my Name is Neo am 22 years I have a problem Saturday night I got a knocked on a car door Sunday I experienced pains on my penis now it’s swollen nd it changed where am it’s bruised the skin is getting shinny.
Male | Neo
It seems like you might have hurt your penis while you got hit by the car door. Pain, swelling, and bruising are not unusual in this case. The glossy skin could be a sign of recovery. Make sure you get some rest, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use ice packs to bring down any swelling. If these symptoms get worse or do not improve it would be best to see a doctor as soon as possible.

LEFT SIDE SHOULDER TO ELBOW PAIN
Male | 28
When your arm aches from the left shoulder down to the elbow, take notice of the signs. You may struggle moving it. Swelling and redness could appear. Certain movements worsen the pain. Muscle strain, rotator cuff injury, or arthritis can cause such discomfort. To ease the hurting, rest your arm. Apply ice packs. Do gentle stretches. Avoid heavy lifting too. Activities making pain worse are off-limits. Sometimes physical therapy helps. Medications can help. Consult an orthopedist about your symptoms for personalized guidance.

Male | 54
Your father is feeling pain due to Shoulder Arthritis; it’s a common affliction. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving the shoulder. The main causes are wear and tear on the joint and aging. Just applying hot water or ointments for pain relief is not adequate. For more effective treatments like physical therapy or medication, seek help from an orthopedist.

Your problem might be a torn meniscus, which is a cushion inside the knee. It can tear from twisting, bending, or wear and tear. Symptoms include pain, swelling, popping sounds, and the knee locking. You can treat it with rest, ice packs, keeping your leg raised, and doing physical therapy exercises. Surgery may be needed for severe tears.
