MRI findings show no evidence of muscle edema.

Lack of exercise. No such thing as a overweight athlete.

could be elephantitis which is an infection in the lymph nodes causing an accumulation of fluids in the affected limb.

I am a little confused by your description. IF your heart attack was caused by a clot, then I would think it should have been considered. If you had a cardiac cath (dye test) that showed no obstruction, but you did have a confirmed heart attack (as opposed to chest pain or angina- which can happen without muscle damage), I would wonder why. \n\nIf your cardiologist is good and you trust him/her, ask about it. Ask why you had the heart attack if you had no obstruction, and address your concern about the meds- Plavix and aspirin are very common meds which are used to help prevent further problems. Also, were you screened for cholesterol and fractions? These are very important for management. You may need to be considered for treatment, but the cardiologist can help you understand.

Could be a cyst or a tear in the muscle. Probably a good idea to see an orthopedic doctor.

Are u sure it's not broken?  You may need an xray to find out and/or to see if something else is going on.  If it's not something major, then alternate ice packs, with hot whirlpools -- first 20 minutes ice, then 20 minutes hot whirlpool right afterwards.  Try it a few times if you can find the time b4 then.  Keep the leg elevated whenever possible too.  And get rid of all the topical stuff as that's not going to do anything.   You need to get the swelling down as much as possible (ice is the best thing for that) and give it a rest.  Ibuprofen works for swelling too.  As for the Saturday tournament, if you are allowed to, wrap and/or tape the affected area during the event. Good luck!

X-rays show skeletal problems, not muscle or nerve damage. See a neurologist

I'm no doctor but, you need to see a professional about this . My son was a three time state weight lifting champion in three separate weight classes during his high school years . Needless to say I have seen a lot of weight lifting injuries . He once had a "strange pain " in his lower arm , and one day while working out ,his fore arm mussels contracted so tightly they forced all of they body fluid from the mussel ,forming a huge bag of liquid under his forearm . The local doctor started to lance it to relieve the pain but , luckily he contacted a sports medicine doctor who stopped him from making a big mistake . After some intense physical therapy and meds the arm reabsorbed the liquid and he was back to normal . No pain however slight should be ignored . It's your body telling you something is wrong . I ignored a pain in my lower leg for over a year thinking it was just mussel strain or shin splints . It turned out to be a low grade slow growing bone cancer . So don't blow it off . GET IT CHECKED BY A PROFESSIONAL.

Absolutly no heat.  No hurry to go to the Dr.  Not much we can do till swelling is controlled.  OTC anti-inflammatories for swelling and pain.  Sorry about the injury.

Could be a pinched nerve. Only a M.R.I. can tell.

It can be many things, and an MRI is not pain full except the laying flat on your back and it takes about 45 minutes. Make sure you put ear plugs in your ears. Good luck :)

its better you rule out any spinal injury, ideally you may need either a CAT scan of the chest/thorax and spine, probably the thoraric vertebrae..never ruling out further requirement of a MRI scan as well, get in touch with a traumatologist/spinal surgeon asap. good luck and wishes for a speedy recovery!

http://www.emedicine.com/pmr/topic57.htm\n\nThe above WebMD site describes a condition called Hypothyroid Myopathy, a disease which could be related to your question.  Please print it out and bring to your next doctor's appointment and see what he/she says about it.\n\nGood luck.

If I were taking this test I feel 90% sure that the correct would be "C".  I just finished taking the cardiovascular section of my physiology class in my first year of medical school.  More specifically:\n\nA. their blood pressure becomes elevated, forcing more fluid into interstitial spaces as blood hydrostatic pressure rises. PEOPLE STANDING WITHOUT MOVING TEND TO HAVE EDEMA IN THEIR FEET BECAUSE OF HYDROSTATIC PRESSURES, BUT THIS SHOULDN'T APPLY TO LYING DOWN.\n\nB. lack of motor activity leads to reduced sympathetic stimulation to lymphatic vessels, so lymph tends to pool. \nLYMPHATICS DO NOT HAVE SYMPATHETIC INNERVATION\n\nC. without skeletal muscle contraction to force lymph through lymphatic vessels, fluid tends to accumulate in interstitial spaces \n\nD. reduced vasomotor tone allows proteins to leak from plasma, and water follows the osmotic gradient. LYING DOWN SHOULD HAVE NO EFFECT ON BLOOD PROTEIN LEAKAGE (VASOMOTOR TONE?)\n\nE. heart rate and force of contraction are reduced, so the pressure gradient is insufficient to maintain lymph flow. \nYOUR BARORECEPTOR RESPONSE IS SUFFICIENT TO REGULATE BLOOD PRESSURES AND THUS PRESSURE GRADIENTS.

Not sure what a varostomy is ? However, if your doc ordered an MRI he wants a clear picture of whatever he feels may be amiss. At that, it can also determine that everything looks good and normal. No mass, no tumors, no blockages, no defects, etc.  Good luck and best of health.

Not exactly sure what you're looking for, the image is looking at it from front to back, does not appear to be any injury to the bone or swelling for that matter.....?

I just had that happen to me.I went to the doctor and it was a muscle strain underneath my shoulder blade in the area of my rotater cuff.They just gave me some ibuprofen and said that my muscle was swollen and that would take care of it.It also caused pain when I would breathe,in my upper back and also my chest.So try the Ibuprofen,it should help you but it could take a few days for the swelling to go down if your muscle is swollen.He also said to take it easy on my arm for a few days.
