jammed knuckle

(2 discussions)

Some time ago, someone grabbed & twisted my ring finger.
It didn’t break, but the knuckle is jammed now.
The knuckle is sticking out, lower down on my finger than normal.
I want to see a doctor but I’m not sure who I should see-some people have told me a chiropractor might be able to help, while others have said i’ll have to have my finger broken & re-set. Any advice? Thanks.

pain in back

(2 discussions)

My mom went to a chiropractor & he said she had a dislocated rib.
She did not fall.
She just put up a lightweight curtain rod & lifted part of a mattress (not for a 74-year-old to do).
He said he saw her rib sticking out in her back.
What is this & is he right? Is there such thing as that, a dislocated rib? Thank you

Adjustment Caused New Neck Pain

I saw a chiropracter twice for back pain but during my second visit yesterday I left his office with new neck pain, when my neck was never a source of pain before. He never took an x-ray. Today I visited him again for a free re adjustment and I feel even worse than yesterday. I feel like he messed something up in me and I’m afraid to go back but I don’t want to live with more pain than before. He wants me to come in 10 time in the next fur weeks. Do you have any suggestion?

cheilectomy

(3 discussions)

I am having a cheilectomy in 4 weeks and was wondering whether anyone has any tips for the post op pain and recovery.
My doctor wants to leave the stitches in for 2 weeks, and I was worried about them getting embedded in the skin.
Any comments would be appreciated. Gail
