Have you ever heard when a baseball gets hit by a bat? If you imagine, you can see how the ball feels if it had feelings. I felt how the ball might feel when I was run over. When I look at the cut on my left elbow, I see where a scar would be that would be about five inches long. I can remember the feel of the blood running down my arm like water rushing down a river going to the deep blue sea. As I was quickly finishing the card that I hand make every year for my best friend Jaci, when my mother called me to the living room. I shouted that I was coming .She told me to hurry up so I can be earlier than others. It was Jaci’s birthday and she was my best friend. Quickly, I added the last finishing touches to make it unique, then I hurried to …show more content…
My left elbow hurt very badly and I could feel blood running down my arm. It hurt so badly that I was crying. After a few minutes, I tried to get up, but I made my elbow hurt so badly because I was adding pressure to much pressure to it. Then I bent my elbow to see if it was broken because on the shows my parents watch, the doctors tell the injured people to bend their arms or legs to see if they are broken. Finally, someone noticed me and called Jaci’s mom, Brooke, over. Then everyone who was still there came running over to me. They asked if I was okay. I said that I was. Brooke helped me to their garage and sat me down. She got a few bandages and some Neosporin. When she got back she checked my knees and elbows. Seeing the large, bloody cut, she was glad that she brought a larger bandage. In a few minutes, she had my knees and elbows all bandaged up. I went back to the party and had fun until my mom came from across the street to pick me up. Mom said, “Come on. You need to have a bath tonight,” and I gave Jaci a hug and then left for home. After the party, I went home and I had a bath. At about eight thirty, I went to bed and slept well. A week later, my elbow was not hurting any more. I hope that it never happens again because my elbow hurt very badly for a week. Now I know that I should watch for trikes, bikes, and scooters as well as cars at all times and you should
A September 7 elbow fracture during the Double-A playoffs will cause minor league second baseman Ozzie Albies to miss the remainder of the playoff season with his team, the Mississippi Braves. The 19-year-old, who was expected to be one of the stars of the playoffs, had split his time this year between the Mississippi Braves and the franchise's Triple-A team, the Gwinnett Braves. Although Albies' injury will require surgery, he should be able to return to playing baseball by January.
Tearing your rotator cuff is not only painful, but it is also a serious condition that will require orthopedic surgery. If you are a baseball player, this injury can be even more challenging, since you will want to repair the issue in an effective and efficient manner. Of course, properly understanding the injury is key to a successful recovery. Using this guide, you will understand how your rotator cuff was torn and learn how surgeons can repair the problem to get you back on the baseball field.
Dodgers’ pitcher Alex Wood had hoped to return to play soon, but the recovery process will take longer than he had hoped. Wood suffered an elbow impingement in late May, and was on the 60-day disabled list, making him eligible to potentially return to play on July 30. Unfortunately, after playing two innings of a simulated game at Dodger Stadium on July 17, it was determined that Wood’s injured elbow will require surgery. The surgery will put him out of commission for roughly eight weeks, which would put him at returning to rotation ideally in about mid-September.
RCT is a common disease. According to general population surveys, the prevalence of rotator cuff tear is 25 % in those older than 50 years of age and 20 % in those older than 20 years of age (1). The rotator cuff is a group of 4 muscles and their tendons supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis (2). These muscles connect the upper-arm bone, or humerus, to the shoulder blade. The important job of the rotator cuff is to keep the shoulder joint stable. RCT can be caused by degenerative changes, repetitive micro-traumas, severe traumatic injuries, and secondary dysfunctions. Falling on an outstretched hand, unexpected force when pushing or pulling or during shoulder dislocation can cause traumatic injury to the rotator cuff.
I fell. This felt like I didn’t have a wrist. But I got back up really carefully and went up to the lounge to my dad and sister. Ah, Ah, Dad I think I broke my wrist. No you didn’t. It was swelling up, It hurt so bad I couldn’t even believe this was happening.
The Musculoskeletal diagnosis for this case study is a Right Above Elbow amputation. An Above Elbow amputation is an amputation “from the supracondylar region to the axillary fold”(www.orthrofrocs.com). An individual loosing an arm will be faced with many challenges, more so with loosing it above the elbow. The ability to preserve the length of the limb “allows for better movement, and enhances the fit of the prosthesis”(emedicine.medscape.com). The more proximal the amputation the less functional the stump will be. This amputation will cause the loss of the hand, wrist elbow, but good shoulder function will continue( Deverix, Papdapoulos, p.656). The most common cause of an amputation above the elbow is Trauma(Ganz, Gulick, Smurr , & Yancoseck).
When I ran from the couch to the dining room I did not make it through the doorway all the way. As I was running I hit my knee on the door frame
Shoulder injuries are a very common injury that occurs in most sports. All injuries and the rehabilitation done to the injured shoulder are based on the anatomy and structures of the shoulder. Doctors have developed different tests for evaluating the degree and seriousness of injured shoulders. Some have also developed different phases a person must go through to properly rehabilitate the shoulder.
Most intellectuals or academics obsessed with one way of approaching new ideas and texts, the doubting game, at the other's expense. It is important to consider other related concepts such as the believing game to consider issues ad situations in a more analytical manner. These two mechanisms enable one to criticize or accept facts based on various condition, situations, and events.
Ryder’s class. So, then I realized that My laptop was in my room. So I opened the door slowly and want to my table and grab my MacBook. Then when I was coming back I fell down on the floor. “Boom”!!

On a sunny day at summit pointe elementary. It was the school picnic and I am with my family and friends.I got on the playground. I got on the swing with my friend Ella. So I asked if she could push me on the swing. “ yes,” Ella responded. Then when she started to push I trip and fell right on my arm. “It feels broken,”I carried. I was yelling and tears wore rolling down my face. Then I ran to my dad. “ what's wrong?” asked my dad. “ My arm hurt really bad,”I yelled. So went home. I could not move my arm. 2 days later. I was at the hospital. My heart was racing because I was so worried. Then I got a pink cast. I still have my cast. “ well are you ready to go home,” asked my dad. Yes but I am never touching a swing
The International Association for the Study of Pain defined pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage” (Unk, 2007). Pain being described such as this allows us to see that pain is a perception, not unlike seeing or hearing. Pain is the most common reason that people seek medical attention but pain is very hard to define because it is subjective. Pain perception is the process by which a painful stimulus is relayed from the site of stimulation to the central nervous system (Freudenrich, 2008). In order to determine if pain is a perception of the mind or if it is biological we must first understand how the process of pain works.
I jump back to throw my back handspring. Just as soon as my hands touch the mat, I hear my right wrist make a loud pop. i sit down and start crying. Approximately five minutes later, after i had taken some tylenol, I got up and started doing more back handsprings. I didn’t want anyone to know that I was hurt, so i had to fight through the pain and keep going. As practice goes on it starts hurting worse. When i got home I told my dad that I hurt my arm at cheer practice. Well as any dad would say, my dad said, “Is your bone sticking out of your body? Are you bleeding? I didn't think so. Therefore, you’re alright.” I go to my room and laid down in the bed and started crying from the pain, or maybe it was the words that my dad had said to me, or possibly even both. Eventually, I stopped crying and went to
The weird part: I didn`t cry. I just remember screaming as loudly as I possibly could as my friends rushed to me and called my parents. I heard gasps, as people tried not to stare at my instantly bruised elbow turning purple and blue. As I was rushed into an ambulance, I could see the worry in my parents sorry eyes, and didn’t know what to do. Once we arrived at the intimidating hospital, with people on gearnies being rolled around all over the first floor, the doctor came to me after what felt like a year. They rolled me to a dark, secluded room where they x-rayed my elbow. I was rolled back and put on medicine that relieved the pain, and put me to sleep, which after all three doses, still barely worked.
Hello Vince, I agree with your thought on sensation and perception. You made this topic very clear and easy to understand. I can feel how you smacked your knee against the coffee table because I almost drop my TV from the table. So I can think of my future living my normal life after having some vision issue. And I feel bad for our grandparents. What do you think?
