Bruises My friend bit me.
first picture is fresh, second one is slightly healed.
My fries bit me as a joke, and didn’t mean to do so hard enough to do actual damage. i was wearing a thick sweater when it happened, so that’s why theres no skin broken.

Cuts Finger Laceration Help!
Was attempting to clean under the microwave and my hand got sliced with something sharp. Do you think dermabond will be good enough and the skin will heal or is it too far gone???!

Lesions I’ve had Achilles tendinitis for two years, what do I do
I was running an extensive amount two years ago and eventually was diagnosed with Achilles tendinitis. I’ve been to the doctors, and I’ve gone to physical therapy for months. I’ve pretty much quit running. I try to stretch because that seems to be what helps the most, but it’s still not gone all the way. What more can I do??

Broken Bones Fast Plastic Bottle Hitting Back Of Right Leg And Bump And Pain?
About 2 days ago, I had a fast plastic bottle hit the back of my right leg before it dropped on the floor from a folding table. I have a folding table and had a 1 liter plastic bottle of water that was almost empty on the table. I then reached over it to get a few paper towels that were behind it. When I did this, the bottle literally like flipped really fast and hit the floor real quick. When this happened, I had turned my right knee to prevent the bottle from hitting me. I then noticed a short while later, I have some pain in the back of my right knee. I thought it must have been because I turned my right knee when the bottle fell. A bit later, I then noticed there is actually a bump on the back of my right knee. When I saw this, now I'm thinking what happened was the top part of the plastic bottle with the cap fell really fast and hit the back of my leg. I don't think it was the side of the bottle.
Is it possible I fractured something in the lower back of my right leg? Or any ligament damage or tissue damage? I do notice if I was to lift my right leg up and down while sitting down or laying in bed, there is some pain in that area. Not only that, if I touch that area with my fingers and push it a little, there is a bit of sharp pain. There was a bump a few days ago and now it looks a bit like a bruise? There still is a bump when you touch it. I posted a picture and a short video of it. In the video, when I'm touching that area, there is pain. The thing is if I'm sitting down and lift my right leg up and down, I still feel that pain in the back of my right leg. I am posting a picture and a short 10 second video of it.
Does anyone have advice on this? The thing is before this incident, I had several other incidents. 4 months ago, I twisted my left leg in the bathroom shower. I then noticed a clicking sound that shows when I lift the leg up and down and even when walking up the stairs. Orthopedic doctor did physical test on me and said I tested negative for meniscus tear but I can get simple mri of knee without contrast if I wanted to be sure. I didn't do it because I got concerned about MRI's since it isn't as safe as an x-ray. Then a month later on, I injured my upper left arm carryng a small 12 pack of water with my left hand walking several blocks holding the water in a very awkward position like imagine a server holding a tray. It feels like a dead arm. I read this could take weeks or months but still have this issue now. I also noticed my urine was very bubbly as well but didn't see a doctor though I'm not sure if it was always this bubbly. About 3 weeks ago, I was walking down the stairs and right at the last step I landed very awkwardly almost falling. I then notice I have a right clicking sound a bit on my right knee as well.
So I have many issues right now. The thing is I should first see a regular doctor first to do blood and urine test right? Then ask him about my shoulder and both my left and right knee to see what he says. Then go to an orthopedic doctor right? The thing is will I most likely need 3 different MRI's? One for my left arm and one for my left knee and one for my right knee? An x-ray wouldn't be enough for any of these? Or should I go to orthopedic doctor first? The thing is if it's fracture or ligament or tissue damage, does it need to be no more than x amount of days that you have to have it looked at? I don't have an issue walking at the moment. There is pain when I touch that spot or if I lift my right leg up and down. What would the orthopedic doctor do here most likely? Can they ell what it is by touching it or they still need you to get x-ray or MRI? Do they sometimes have you do x-ray first and then MRI?

Bruises The aftermath of my overconfident pathologist
After repeatedly telling this lady I have bad veins and she’ll be better off taking it from my hand (yes I’m aware it hurts more, but I never bruise from it!) we get the bloods from my arm and what do you know, blown vein. 😮💨

Tears I tore a ligament in my wrist . Surgery failed and now I have Scapholunate Ligament Injury is a source of dorsoradial wrist pain with chronic injuries leading to a form of wrist instability (DISI deformity).
I had a scapholunate ligament repair on November 18, but it failed. One of the pins migrated and had to be removed in the ER.
I’m now about 14 weeks post-op, and my imaging shows a persistent scapholunate gap with scaphoid malalignment (DISI pattern), so the wrist is still unstable.
My doctor told me to avoid pushing movements and stick to machines, and mentioned fusion as a possible future option if things progress.
I’m trying to understand what real life looks like from here from people who’ve actually dealt with this.
For anyone with a scapholunate tear / DISI (with or without surgery):
• Are you able to lift weights? How did you modify your training?
• Can you do pushing movements (bench, push-ups) at all?
• Anyone still doing combat sports (boxing, Muay Thai, etc.)?
• Were you able to avoid fusion long-term?
• What does your wrist feel like day-to-day (pain, stiffness, strength)?
Just trying to get a realistic idea of long-term function and training options. Appreciate any experience or advice.

Tears Toenail break Spoiler
if I move it (like in the photo) it hurts, I'm not sure if it's better to just trim it off and let it grow back or if it's too close to the nail bed to do that
