Pain in right shoulder and tingling in finger tips?
I am a 40 year old female who was hit by a transport on January 14th and had an MRI of my left shoulder. The MRI came back normal even though my physiotherapist and surgeon thought I had a torn rotator cuff or bicep or both. In the last three weeks, I have started to have more pain in my right shoulder and in the last week, I have begun to feel tingling in my fingers in my right hand. I am also a type one diabetic and have been one since the age of 12. I think that it might be a pinched nerve (hoping!) and not something worse. Scared about neuropathy!!!!! Waiting to see my doctors, but once again - Freaking out!!!!

workmans comp for a part time employee?
My initial injury happened a few years ago but has been fine up until a week ago and I re-injured my shoulder. Torn rotator cuff, i'm deciding if i should have surgery or not. My thing is that i'm part time and due to the nature of my job and i would be unable to work during my recovery process (i lift boxes all day long). would i be eligible for workmans comp since i'm only part time and how much would i be compensated? i work about 30 hours a week now.

How do I stop rotator cuff pain without using meds or getting surgery?
I've been taking hydrocodone and my fiancee' is tripping out because she thinks that I'm addicted to them or something, and if I take any more otc pain relievers then I think my stomach is going to explode. If I run out of pain pills I take 2,3, or 4 otc pain relievers at a time and my stomach has been killing me for the past couple weeks. I know it sounds weird and might make me sound weird for thinking about it, but is "cutting" a semi-safe alternative to taking pain killers? Thanks for any and all answers btw, I have a torn rotator cuff and bersitis syndrome... but no time for surgery

What happens if I do not pay a court ordered fee?
Ok so I got hurt at Wal-mart on the job in August of 2009. After all this time I have been contacted by a claims department to pay the attorney fees and sent an order that the judge approved to have me pay these fees. What happens if I do not pay? I clearly had a torn rotator cuff and the video proving my injury "did not exist" so they say leaving me to lose my case. Case was lost at the very beginning of 2010. Why have they waited so long? I have not been able to return to work due to this injury and suffer pain everyday. I am doing online school and raising four kids so there is no hope for now to return to work. I only have one car and am also losing my house as a result of this injury. Can they really put me in jail as well. If so, I would like to know as I need to figure out how to care for my children should something like this happen. Thanks I hired Chandler Law in myrtle beach SC. I do not recommend anyone hire them! They were basically non-existent in this case. Thank God I did not have to pay them. They left me high and dry and did nothing to defend my case.

Would this affect my playing?
I think I either have a shoulder sprain, or a torn rotator cuff. I am eleven, so will my baseball playing be affected? I haven't started puberty yet, or at least I don't think I have. So I haven't really started gaining muscle. I doubt I will become a baseball player when I grow up, cause the chances of that is like 1 out of 1000 or something. But I'm good right now. Will I lose arm strengh when I cme back in the spring, or april,may. Will I have to gain it back? Will the chances of getting this injury again increase or decrease? A long detailed answer would be nice. However, I guess ill be good with a short one. :)

If World War 3 breaks out, do you think they would let me enlist?
I've had a HUGE dream of serving in the military since I was about 4 years old, but I tried enlisting in all the branches except the Marine Corps over the past 3 months and they've all turned me down because I had a torn rotator cuff last year (it's completely healed and I've had 3 civilian docs write me notes saying it is yet they won't even take me to MEPS to look at it, instead they email the recruiters back and say I'm DQ'ed). So now I'm going to school to become a Paramedic. Do you think if World War 3 ever broke out that they'd let me enlist even though I was DQ'ed before? PS- The reason I haven't tried the Marine Corps is because I've heard they're the strictest when it comes to waivers. True or false?

I hurt my shoulder at hockey. What could this be?
So I am a goalie. Last night I took a decently hard shot from rather close that went off my shoulder. I really don't know if it hit my chest protector or managed to squeeze in and hit my shoulder... Though, it ricocheted and hit my mask so I am inclined to think it did hit my chest protector. Well, either way I felt the pain almost instantly. At first my shoulder was dead. I could barely hold on to my stick. But I battled through it and finished practice. There is minimal bruising, a red spot and some very very light purple on my shoulder. Here is the issue. I don't know if it is just a deep bone bruise with residual pain, or a torn rotator cuff. I don't think it makes sense that an impact would tear my rotator cuff, but you never know. Maybe I pulled my arm or something when I got hit and don't remember it. It hurts to the touch. It hurts to pick up anything thats not light. I can fully extend my arm with minimal pain. However, It hurts to lift above eye level. Both of my shoulders pop but now I hear a crunching sort of noise from the injured shoulder. I feel like it could also be a cracked bone or something of the sort. The pain hasn't gone away much, still feels the same as last night. Any idea what this could be? I know I should see a doctor but I can't do that until later this week. By the way, I am 17 and this is my right shoulder. Thanks
