  • Bruise? Bump? What is it?

    I am a competitive cheerleader and have recently switched positions. I am basing now (the ones that throw the girl up) and we do baskets. When we load in, both the other base and I grab our right wrist and then connect (if that makes sense), then the flyer puts her feet on our little platform and then we throw her up in the air. Needless to say there is a lot of pressure on my hands. Every time we do basket tosses, i get a bruise in the exact same spot (in the middle of the back of my hand behind my middle finger), and since about a month ago, ive been getting a large, thin bump. it honestly looks like a little bone poking out. My knuckles often swell and turn blue or purple, and I have alot of pain in my wrist and middle finger. We took a break from practice for a couple days, and the bruising almost went away, but the bump was still there. I would love some suggestions because I have no idea what this is. Thanks :)

  • Is it just a bad cough?

    recently, i have been sick. for about 5 days, i had cough, sore throat, stuffy and runny nose, and a slight fever. its been about a week since then. i now have a really bad cough that will randomly start and i cant stop. i cough until i cant breathe, then when i try to take a breath, it feels like my throat is swollen or blocked (very difficult to breathe in) then i start coughing again until i cant breathe. During my cough attacks, my eyes water, my nose runs, and i often get side pains from coughing so hard. What sickness do i have?

  • fracture? broken? what?

    I am a gymnast and a varsity cheerleader. I run often for 10-20 mins. I have had a sharp pain in my foot directly behind my toes (on the top of my foot) it has often hurt when i am running, jumping, etc. no swelling is present and i can easily walk and move the toes and ankle. it is in my right foot and the pain has gotten better. im not sure whether i am getting used to the pain, or if its actually getting better, because i have increased the number of hours of stress i put on my feet. I went in to get an xray about a month or two ago and they said it was fine. What do you think?

  • I have a cheer injury...not sure how to diagnose it.?

    So, im a cheerleader and when i was catching a girl, she landed on top of me. the main point of impact was my head and neck. my head and neck hurt for like 5 minutes, then my back started hurting. now, it is really bad and i have to sit up straight against a chair in order for it not to hurt. if i move in any way, it hurts. The pain is directly behind my belly button. i cant move my hips or chest without it hurting and when i bent over, my teammate felt my spine and said it felt a bit crooked near the lower back. it really hurts and im not sure what i did or what i should do. your help and input would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cheer injury...is it broken?

    I was cheering today and we put a girl up in a half (about 7 feet up) then we cradled her. When we caught her, the other person and i headbutted. my nose went numb then started bleeding profusely. it stopped after about a minute and a half. I washed off, then got back in doing stunts. Then, when we were in a lib (holding the girl up by one leg about 9 feet up) she fell and her head slammed into the same spot on my nose that got hit before. it didn't bleed but went numb again. Then, i was forced to sit down and ice it for like 5 mins. But i got back up and kept going. It hurts a bit now and is swollen so that i cant breathe out of the left nostril. is it broken? I dont want to see a doctor because then they will 'sit' me from any and all physical activity and my team cant afford losing another girl to an injury. Please tell me what to do to make it heal quickly.

  • How can i fix my wireless internet connection?

    My internet has been down for probably a week now. I have a Linksys router and a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter. Every time i try to open my internet, there is a little message in the toolbar saying 'Wireless Network Connection- This connection has limited or no connectivity. you might not be able to access the internet or some network resources. For more information, click this message' then when you click it, it says You might not be able to access the internet or some network resources. this problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address to this computer.' Please help me fix my internet. Thanks :)

  • How can i prevent a cold?

    I've always had allergies around this time, but i don't want it to get any worse. i have a show coming up in less than a week and cannot get sick. Chances are I have already been exposed to it because my dance studio is closed due to the fact that no one can come to class since everyone is sick and I cannot get sick. I need some suggestions to keep the flu away! thx :)
