Can anyone recommend the best sports injury doctor that specifically deals with soft tissue back injuries?
Injury occurred 3-1/2 years ago when a driver blindsided me at a crosswalk on my way into HSC.
I’m 50 physio sessions, 3 lidocaine injection treatments in and it still flares up 3-4x a year where I am bed ridden for ~48 hours.
TIA

Hey all - here's an interesting one from yesterday morning.
Called to house for 80-something YOM experiencing diabetic emergency. Get on scene, find he's reading "low" - ALS partner administers glucagon IM due to poor vasculature, get a 22 in the hand (henceforth known as the Little IV That Could), and continue hypoglycemia protocol - D10, oxygen for low 80s SpO2.
Patient's BGL comes up to 140s, but his mental status is still agitated, aphasic, with non-purposeful movement of extremities. Decision is made to transport. While moving from bed to reeves (narrow access in old farmhouse FTW), patient's heart decides it's had enough and now we're looking at a cardiac arrest. Lucas is applied, three rounds of epi and one sodium bicarb, ETT and we get ROSC - total CPR time is 12-15 minutes, but heart is still angry. We begin pacing, move him to the ambulance and start moving towards the hospital (HEMS says we don't fly in pre-hurricane weather...wimps).
While enroute, patient has carotid, and radial pulses but no femoral pulses (this will be on the test later). Had to sedate the patient twice enroute (30 minute transport due to being rural EMS), and still needed to use soft restraints to keep the patient from yanking his ETT. Get him transferred to the hospital, and we're back in service.
This morning I get follow up on the patient, who unfortunately died several hours later. He had a T6 fracture which the facility chalked up to the Lucas, but he ultimately died of an aortic dissection. Looking at the literature briefly I saw one extremely rare incidence of similar injury. Anyone else ever see anything like this?
TL;DR - Megacode leads to patient expiring from aortic dissection...could this have been caused by mechanical CPR? Anyone see anything like this in the literature or personally?
Umpires often clock up 15-16km in a game, and whilst I have seen 100's of players do hamstrings in my time watching footy, I've never seen an umpire do one. Why is this? Does it have something to do with the intensity of their running or do a lot of the teams need to hire their trainers?
So… not sure if this is the right place to ask but I do wonder if this is more common than I think.
I’ve never really had injuries in my life but In the past few weeks I’ve started wearing patches (like IcyHot) on my forearm specifically because of inflammation and soreness. It went on long enough that I got it checked out from a physician who diagnosed that it’s a soft tissue injury, where there’s been a tear in your muscles in your forearm.
I can’t think of anything honestly that could have caused this other than when I walk my dog and my dog sometimes, out of excitement, bolts or pulls because she’s so excited for a walk or sees a neighbor’s dog. My dog is also quite big at 70 pounds so it does have some weight.
Has anyone else experienced this as well and if true, how did you train your pup to not pull so it doesn’t aggravate your arm?
Hi community I was rear ended in northern Virginia at red light by other person who accepted liability and I have been through 35 physical therapy/chiropractic appointments due to soft tissue damage in neck. We are reaching at settlement and Geico is offering $3500 for compensation. I demanded $8000 but they are not ready to give me that as they are saying for soft tissue issues they don’t issue much more than $3500. Did you had to go through such case? In that case how much did you get as comp? Thanks
Maybe this belongs in a different sub but there seems to be a player at every club that is known as the player that is constantly straining their hamstrings or pinging a calf.
Collingwood had Ben Reid and Nathan Freeman. Jamie Elliott and Darcy Moore have also experienced those.
Harley Bennell constantly had calf strains.
Is there any science that points to why certain people are prone? Like, is it a genetic thing? Or do people have running gaits that are somehow making them more susceptible than others?
40m. I recently had cervical mri done due to neck/shoulder pain on left side. Showed "slight reversal of natural lordosis" and "moderate left foraminal stenosis at C5-C6 due to disc bulge and osteophytes" (bone spur), which can be associated with the aching pain in my left shoulder/arm.
But there is another stronger pain I have along the medial-border of the left lower scapula (left lower trapezius near verterbral column). In this back-pain my muscle goes into spasm often that kind of "locks" the head slightly slanted toward left shoulder.
Doctor says the scapular pain is the "referred pain" but "may have a myofascial component" to it. Also says MRI not needed for scapular region due to it being the "referred pain". It looks to me that scapular MRI can confirm or rule out whether it's referred pain or some other injury. Since the scapular pain is "locking" the head, is stronger, and started differently than arm pain, it seems confirming ligament issue can better treat it.
1. Would scapular MRI detect any myofascial pain, ligament strain, or other soft-tissue injury in the scapular region?
2. Or any other form of imaging that can detect such injury?
I'm on TRT and have unfortunately managed to injure both ankles quite badly in an ice climbing accident. One ankle has sustained quite a lot of soft tissue damage, the other was dislocated as well as fractures to the fibia (pieced together with plates and screws). . Recovery is going to take some time, but I heard that injecting testosterone close to the injury sites could help with recovery. I've been injecting 50mg twice a week sub-q into my glutes up until now.
Does anyone have any info on this and where might be an appropriate place to inject (the fractured ankle has a cast to the knee). Should I still stick with the normal dose? Also, any other tips to aid recovery would be hugely appreciated.
