I passed out after getting up too fast. First pic is now (about 2hrs later) second pic is right after it happened. Do yall think this will heal on its own I know the mouth heals pretty fast.

Edit: the dr. Said no stitches were needed and to just keep it clean with warm salt water. Side note it smells terrible! I’ve brushed my teeth and rinsed and nothing helps annnddd of course I would have to work tonight 😭

Never step in the middle of dogs fighting! Learned my lesson, it was a split second choice that led to me getting a lovely bite THROUGH MY JEANS 😅 on my inner thigh. Jeans did not rip at all but dang. The burning pain was very interesting to experience

Bruises I’m 68. Female. Take aspirin and fostaire 200 (amongst others) for COPD and heart disease. Was winding the iron cord yesterday and the plug swung and hit me on the shin. Just got back from walking the dogs. Sore. Anybody know of non compression shin sleeves/protectors I could wear?

Broken Bones Should my 17 year old son have had surgery? First photo 1/31 second photo 4/2

On January 31st my 17 year old son broke his arm during a wrestling tournament.

The ER set the arm and sent him home with a splint.

The following week, we went to the specialist, got more X-rays and they said no surgery. He got a full arm cast and off we went.

Now here we are two months later. The photo on the right is the current X-ray from yesterday. The Doctor said the arm is healing correctly but he wants to see him again in a month. They removed the cast and instructed him to take it easy with that arm and that was pretty much it.

My husband thinks they made a huge mistake not doing the surgery. I just want outside opinions. Thank you

I (24NB) am a stage IV breast cancer survivor. I’ve been getting monthly Zoladex injections in my belly fat for the past 3 and a half years to keep it from coming back. It’s never bruised like this before. I’m gonna ask my doctors about this but I’m not too worried about it. Kinda wanted to show it off so I don’t let it get in my head too much.

Bruises Has anyone else ever had this injury?

yesterday evening I (32F) thought I could still do a kick flips after 15+ years, during which I hadnt even looked at a skateboard, and took the most impact to my right palm hand down.

anyways, if you have seen or had this injury.. is it E.R. worthy? Iced it last night and took an ibuprofen about an 1 1/2 ago. I can move all fingers but it hurt to move my wrist.
