I fell on my cell phone landing with my elbow bent, cracking the screen. A few days later, my elbow began to hurt worse than when it happened and now my entire arm is tingly all over. I thought it was from the fall, but could tiny particle of the screen have somehow seeped into my skin?
no. it is possible for a shard to have stuck in your skin, but if you haven't found it yet, it does not exist. your nerves probably took a slight hit. and thats that. put some ice on the joint, take some ibuprofen.

well it started a couple of weeks ago, i think i was skatboarding and i tryed a handplant and for a little while after my rib was in a dull ache. it didnt bother me much because i was skating and iv done much wors to myself through it but today i was making breakfast when i coughed and it cracked. as it did so all the muscels tense'd up for a good minute or more...
im still in pain now while writing this and im deffinatly going to make an appointment at the doc's. but have you ever heard of this before?
was a rib muscle out of place and just needed a good crack back in to place?
sounds like when me and my buddies were screwing around a few years ago and I got donkey-kicked. the bone was probably out of position, and muscles usually spasm like that when it happens. still, it might be cracked a little bit. trust me, you know when a rib's been broken....
take a few days off until it stops hurting. reinjury would be a bitch.

This is probably a dumb question but so be it.
This evening, my left wrist is swollen on the outside, very painful to the touch, and slightly painful from movement. I don't remember falling on it, hitting it, or anything that might cause it to act this way, I honestly don't.
Has anybody ever had this happen to them/have half a clue as to what it might be? Also, is there anything I can do to reduce the pain and swelling? (Ice doesn't seem to be doing the trick)
uh, sounds a bit on the serious side. consult a doctor. until then, take some ibuprofen to reduce swelling and for pain relief.

today in lacrosse practice we were running up and down metal bleachers when my leg caught a corner. the cut is a little deep but my friend put peroxide on it and a bandaid. when i got home, i changed the bandage. now i just took a shower and put bacitraycin plus on it but it looks red around the cut. does this mean its infected? if so what do i do (besides see a doctor)??
couple of weeks, you'll have a scar.
it doesn't sound too infected, but you should discontinue the peroxide baths after the first day, as they can kill the beneficial bacteria and make any infection about ten times worse. do continue if it makes you feel good, then get back to me when you get to the emergency room with blood poisoning.
