The workman's comp. laws are touted by unions ect. as being a benefit for the worker but really it safe guards the employer from law suits. Most of the time the judges push these cases along so the victim is compensated soon. Make sure your mother is completely well and knows for sure what the long term effects of injury will be. Good luck to her.

I guess you have to live with it, I had to walk with a limp for 2 months after a soccer injury, because when I went to see a bone specialist they said there isnt much they could do (because it was just a crack and it was in the end of the femur bone of my thigh)

Oh, God! My mother, she woke me up today. She poured a hot pan of grease all over my chest and my ass and genitals and I fell down the stairs and my shoes fell off.

I have torn my left ACL...waited until December to have surgery. Which I am thankful I did because my knee isn't giving out anymore. Every person heals and recoops differently, so it's hard to say exactly what you are looking for but I can give you an idea. Whatever you do, do not let your knee get stiff...it will take ten times longer to get back into the swing of things. Like a week after my surgery I started PT...slowly but then finished within a few months. My muscles weren't building up so mine took a bit longer. April is looking good for you, but like I said everyone is different. The surgery is very painful but it is worth it if you don't want to keep falling from an unstable knee. Also, make sure you do the home excersises that PT gives you...it will help greatly. Hope this helps

I think what cause that could of been to much pressure on the knee and it cause to dislocate I suffer from the same thing when mine first did that I couldn't move my leg either I screamed so hard and my whole leg got swollen and bruised and got rushed to hospital.....now it goes by to its position now when it does dislocate........\n\nI would try and not put too much pressure on it and be easy when it comes to running or turning round to quickly I think that can also trigger it off.\n\nI hope this helps cause I can feel your pain since this happened to me not in Drama class but in my home at the top of the stairs!

I can't tell you just how pleased I am that acupressure worked for your mum, I am an alternative therapist myself, i use acupressure,massage, and herbal medicines and an ex nurse.. People make me so mad when they scoff at this type of treatment but it's powerful stuff. I run a clinic from my home in Ramsgate-Kent. Have you tried acupuncture, my husband couldn't walk his knees were damaged in a car crash but with my therapy and acupuncture he is as good as new and he's 82 years old.There is always hope and I never give up. Has she had a brain scan, if so is there any damage that may be permanent, if so, depending on where the damage is depends on her walking again.If there isn't she's in with a good chance. I am now studying IRIDOLOGY and that's a great form of diagnosis go and see one, they will tell you exactly where the trouble is and then i may be able to help you a bit more.\nContact me on E-Mail: alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk or tele 01843 588668 and let me know how you get on.\n\nMrs Gloria J Jones (BSYA-SEN)

there's a sac of synovial fluid behind your kneecap, and if it becomes punctured somehow, it can cause severe pain and swelling. I am not saying that this is what's happened to you, but... Please put aside your fear of doctors and go see one. You need an x-ray, possibly an mri, and it's not a DIY sort of thing. Not maintenance you can do at home, or have someone diagnose over the internet.

it has nothing to do with being a couch potatoe. My knees do that and so do my moms and we are active people. \n\nThis website says something about it, i havent read it yet though. see if it helps.\n\nhttp://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/injuries/a/aa092500.htm

Congratulations on the win!\n\nPity about your knee. I think you should do two things:\n\n1 If this is persistent, get some advice from a good sports physio or a specialist doctor. It doesn't sound within the normal range of post-ride aches and pains.\n\n2 Change your pedals for a set with more float - both frogs and eggbeaters are good in this respect. Maybe even consider returning to platforms. Try a few vigorous training rides on platforms and see if this cures the problem. \n\nIf you have the typical woman's wide pelvis your knee joints will be inwardly rotated to a greater degree than some (straight up and down) women and most men. You require the maximum floatability because the anatomical relationship in the length from hip joint to knee joint causes a lot more rotational movement of the long female femur. \n\nDon't risk your knees, you'll spend more than half your life regretting it. I speak from experience. I'm a lifelong mad-keen cyclist. Now I'm in my mid-50's a ride every day with clicky knees and a dull, precisely bounded pain somewhere in the medial side of my right knee joint. Getting up stairs is painful for me and sometimes so acute I think my right knee is going to give way. Its a heavy price to pay when I still have maybe 35 years cycling left in me.

Intestine has collapsed. Go be with her. It is. She was there when you were young and had the sniffles. She will have quite a major surgery. GO BE WITH HER!!!!

I promise you he will help you. and also try not to beat yourself up anymore. things happen for a purpose.\nGod will get glory out of it ,just believe!!! Besides he knows who did it. and believe me he will take care of it. so i hope and pray this will bring you some comfort.

My mom slipped and fell at a college campus about 12 years ago.  She fell on a patch of ice on the sidewalk, though.  She also broke her ankle and required the same surgery.  It took a couple of years to get the college to pay for damages, but my mom won $167,000 (after lawyer costs).  The college also paid for medical bills.  The plate and screws were taken out of her ankle, after I think a year.  She has some problems with running and jumping because they are both hard on the ankle, but since your daughter is young there is a good chance that there won't be any long term problems.  Good Luck.

it is not unusual for the elderly of her age to slump...especially in female.  disk space narrows, muscles atrophy, etc.  the first suggestion i read here would apply to olympic athlete...much too vigorous.\nwith the agreement of her gerontologist, she ought to seek an organized program of supervized water exercise, such as given by local Arthritis Associations, YWCA's, etc.  by all means, the beginner's class in which many aged people are generally the bulk of the participants.slowly does it...and the social aspect will help as well.  your mother is not atypical for many people her age, male and female.  Medicare will not pay for such programs, but I checked with my local Arthritis Foundation which has classes in an inside swimming pool, and 3 classes per week costs $45.00...perhaps you could help defray the costs if your mother does not have sufficient income.....i have no idea what her personal circumstances are, but it might make a great birthday present......and if you pay for it, she will feel obligated to go, even if she does not want to....can she drive? if not, perhaps you can drive her?  perhaps your community has programs for the elderly that include picking them up for such activities?
