Pulled Quad

Hello,
My names Paul and I injured my quad and am not sure really what I did. I hurt it from soccer and whenever I try to kick it, I get the biggest pain in my upper quad. It doesn’t hurt when I run, only when I kick. Can you please let me know what I can do to fix it. I’m a freshman and I made Varsity soccer at my high school and I need to start playing and not sitting out. Thank you for any advide…..my emails [email protected]

back / hip / foot pain

I have pain in my lower back, right hip, and right foot. I think my hip is out of place (perhaps a result of limping from an injury to my left ACL).
I completely tore my left ACL 2.5 months ago skiing and the knee has been recuperating very well w/ regular physical therapy, but a week ago my back,right hip, and foot have been bothering me more than the ACL tear ever did.
My orthopedic doctor examined me last week and found no problem with my hip.
It hurts to just sit, and I am not walking more than 5 min. at a time.
Should I see a chiropractor or osteopath?
Should I call my orthopedic and get another exam?
Will it further harm my body to ride a stationary bike? Thanks for any advice.

bump/blister on toe

I have developed a blister-like bump on my middle-right toe by the base of the nail.
It started small and has grown.
It has popped several times but returns.
It is clearly visible all the way to the toe itself.
It has been there for “at least” 2 or 3 months.
I can’t find anything to relate to it on websites, etc.
I need help.
By the way … it has just started to be slightly painful to the touch.

Funny big toe

For the longest time my big toe on my right foot has felt funny.
It seems almost numb. I can pinch it and I barely feel any pain.
It doesn’t feel like my other big toe.
What could have caused this?

Broken Finger?

I believe I broke my index finger a couple months ago while helping move a refrigerator (got smashed) I am unemployed and have always seen people with a broken finger just get it immobilized with a splint by a Doctor.
So I figured rather than spend the money going to a doctor I would let it go and hopefully it would heal.
The swelling which was quite bad has all but disapeared and I can use it for the most part. Although it still will not bed all the way. feels tight and hurts if I try.
Will the eventually get better? Or am I gonna need to get a doctor to do something horrible like rebreak it and set it or something.

scoliosis brace

I have had scoliosis since I was 14, where I was instructed to wear a brace at night. Upset at the time I refused to wear the brace. My curve was at 32 degrees last I had gotten an xray. MY question is, If I start wearing the brace now(currently I am 19 years old) during free hours, do you think it may help my curve?
