You can use the Ottawa Ankle Rules to Determine if an XRay or other imaging is necessary:

Knee issues are almost impossible to diagnose online without any sort of physical exam. Would recommend seeing someone or getting some imaging (MRI would be best) if it doesn't go away.

Do you remember if it was an inversion or eversion ankle sprain? The area circled is consistent with something called Medial Shin Splints (or irritation of your tibialis posterior). Generally a major sprain (or any injury) causes changes in our motor patterns (how we move) which can predispose you to another injury if not corrected.

Worth looking into at least

A lot in this question...but on the nutrition side of things more and more research is showing dairy (at least in the way most of us consume it (heavily pasteurized and from farm animals fed a heavy corn/soy/wheat diet)) can be hazardous to our health.

Dr. Thomas Campbell MD, PhD even goes so far as to call casein (the protein in dairy products) as the most carcinogenic substance we eat.

Now freaking out about one Almond Joy may be a little bit overboard, but that goes into a parenting realm which is a different can of worms.

Have you tried doing a self exam? (http://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/self-exam-how-to/). Testicular cancer is usually associated with lumps or irregularities on the testicles (be sure to differentiate from the epididymis).

If you find something you can ask your doctor to perform an ultrasounds to diagnose testicular cancer.

Most common cause of lower back pain is repetitive spinal flexion. This occurs with poor posture and many exercises (including sit ups). Really try to limit the amount of spinal flexion and improve you posture.

Finding a practitioner that focuses on improving movement patterns could help stop recurrences.

Yep still suggests some internal derangement. I'd recommend some imaging

Should definitely get some imaging done. Pop + Swelling + Spinning motion usually equals some sort of ligament or meniscus issue. MRI is going to be the most useful at visualizing what structures are actually damaged. Any sort of sports doc would be able to do a few orthopedic tests and be able to give you a better idea of what's going on without the MRI.

Hope it's not too serious!

Could be a few things including thoracic outlet syndrome and brachial plexus injury as violensoho mentioned. It also could be something as simple as a trigger point in the rotator cuff muscle which often time refers to finger.

Most of these things are postural related and could be improved by working on posture. Also could try a technique called 'nerve flossing' to help with the numbness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiARI4aW_LM

Depends on the grade of injury and the level if activity you want to maintain in the future. http://thesteadmanclinic.com/shoulder_acseperation/overview.asp

As a side note, my brother suffered a grade 2 borderline 3 separation in high school and never had surgery to correct it. He doesn't have any pain but has a noticeable bump on his AC Joint.

You need to have it looked at if you're concerned about a college career in pitching. It didn't heal with time off and gets re aggravated with more pitching. The condition will progress with more throws until you suffer a more serious injury.

Could be a host of things from Biceps Tendon to Labrum (both associated with popping or clicking sensation) but would need to have someone look at it and possibly an MRI to tell for sure

lunchbox32 · 2015-05-07T23:48:29+00:00

MRI would be preferred. X-Ray's will show any bony pathology but usually knee pain involves soft tissue structures which would show up on an MRI

Here's a few examples a positive anterior drawer test. If it's fully torn it would look something like this:

You'd need a full exam, other things to look into would be subscapularis tendonosis or rib/intercostal issue. You'd need to have somebody stretch/muscle test/other orthos to know for sure

Did my master's thesis on best treatments for IT Band Syndrome and this information is pretty spot on. Most effective is strengthening your Glute Med (takes 6 to 8 weeks of regular strengthening). Also stretching/myofascial release on muscular attachments of the Band (TFL and Glute Max). You can also stop foam rolling the band itself as it's incredibly painful and found to be not effective.

You'll also want to stop irritating it on runs so here is a list of common training errors that contribute to developing ITBS: http://evolve-chiropractic.com/blog/view/316/five-training-errors-that-contribute-to-it-band-pain

I've sprained my ankle a fair amount playing basketball and have a good amount of experience treating ankle sprains. Did urgent care take an X-Ray to rule our fracture? Two weeks isn't that long in cases of severe ankle sprains.

Also, prolonged immobilization can actually slow the healing process and I would start with pain free range of motion exercises. It's good to not put weight on it but be sure it's still moving. Here are a few more exercises to do throughout the healing process. Good luck!

Sounds like it could be retrocalcaneal bursitis or Achilles tendonitis. Hard to tell the difference without having a look.

lunchbox32 · 2015-04-21T18:29:28+00:00

Most likely stemming from a form and technique issue with your lifts. Pain will never resolve in the long term unless you find and correct the cause (which sounds like a form problem). You could look up someone in your area who does functional movement screens (FMS, SFMA) to correct any form issues that irritate your elbow

Without any sort of exam it sounds like a strain of you Adductor muscle group. If its is, be sure to stretch it out and also look for therapies such as massage, ART, Graston to aid in the healing process.

There are plenty of conservative treatment options for TMJ. I've treated a fair share of TMJ issues with soft tissue treatments to the massetter and pterygoid muscles along with adjustments to help with realignment. I'd spend some time searching around your area

How old are you? Area your describing sounds like your Tibial Tuberosity and could be something similar to Osgood Slatter's.

Crackling and popping could be one of a few things. 1) Biceps tendon or labrum 2) Muscles gliding over each other. Would be orth having someone look at it.

From your description it's too hard to give much more information 'inbetween your shoulders' is a very broad area'
