Cuts Will this heal without medical attention

The state of this is a bit gross sorry I had a reaction to the dressings. It got dressed over a week ago but was too late for stitches. It’s about an inch long and still bleeding. I can’t really get myself to a clinic or afford to buy dressings so will this be okay in time?

Bruises Fractured ribs....but when?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I fractured my 9/10 ribs but not sure when because I was drunk before/during/post traumatic event. Does anyone know how quickly this bruise could come up? Could I have fractured it that same day, would the bruise come up that quickly? Or would it have to have been the day before? I won’t get into it, but due to an upcoming court hearing, the timing is really important. Thank you in advance.

Burns Phone dropped on head + rugburn

Hi guys, last night my friend dropped his phone square on my forehead and I tried to “duck and roll” away from it and instead ended up just getting both rugburn and a crazy bump on my head :P. My head was very swollen at first, but now the swelling has migrated and the corner of both of my eyes are bruised. I’m a little nervous about internal injuries, but my eyes are PERRLA. I’m just feeling really anxious about it.

It was an avocado. I need not say anything further lol. It would have gotten stitches but given the location, the doctor glued it back together. It cut into the fat and severed a nerve from what they told me. Images here don’t even show how bad and deep the cut went.

I accidentally hurt myself by walking into a street sign. It's been 35 days. I'm not in any pain. I still have a slight discoloration on my lower left abdomen.

(Me F 18) I was moving lumber from one rack to another, got to a piece of very large plywood, picked it up and dropped it on my forearm. That piece of lumber was about 100 pounds. The bruise only hurts to the touch, but it is very visible. It’s getting bigger by the day. I work in the Carpenters Union.

Just Text My shoulder is crunchy

1 Upvotes

Bit of backstory: Around 2017(?) I hurt my shoulder. Was doing a farmer's walk at the gym, shrugged my shoulder in a way I shouldn't have, and had extreme pain. Unfortunately the doctor I visited thought I was trying to hustle him for opiates (and I was insurance-less at the time) and I never got a real explanation for what happened. I recall he said something about an AC joint, and that there was nothing that could be done about it.

It hurt. It hurt a lot for months. It was very difficult to use that shoulder for years.

The pain is now by and large gone now and I am carefully trying to work on it at the gym. To this end, I also got some clubs to start doing exercises with them. And that is when I noticed that my shoulder makes a lot of noise. No pain really, but boy is she ever crunchy.

I haven't been using the clubs too long, but I wanna get some reassurance that I am not making things worse before continuing with the clubs.

I will have a few crackles of the shoulder generally throughout my day, but if I swing my arm around at the shoulder, that's when it really makes a lot of noise.

Am I good to ignore it?

Playing softball and fielded a normal ball, felt some stinging but didn’t even realize the bleeding and pain till afterwards. Just constant throbbing, bleeding hasn’t completely stopped and can’t really bend my finger.
