I really think u shouldn't be so hard on yourself,you win some and you lose some haven't you heard that saying!I'm pretty sure that tyson,ali and all of them have been down before,sometimes things like this are going to happen but it's what you do after the storm...do you keep fighting to become the best? Or do you back out and quit forever?so what if it was the begining of the first round!fight him again,and again or someone eles untill they get the goddam point!!I know it feels bad to lose but you shouldn't throw away something thats given you so many opportunites,don't be afraid to go back into that gym,even if you know the people there saw what happened "who cares"everyone goes through that sometimes,but like i said its what you do after the storm.good luck

Wow!  I never heard of a live person having a broken hyoid bone!  This bone is often broken when a person is strangled to death.\n\nWell, you should see a doctor.  Ask your family physician what kind of doctor to see.\n\nI'm not a doctor, but I'd think this can be fixed without much difficulty.  It will take an operation and you may be eating soft food for awhile, but I'd bet they can fix you up like new.

Oh honey,  I am so sorry.  The mind is very powerful.  I can understand that you are stressed.  What you mentioned about it being more painful now that you have noticed the mass...is very accurate.  When you focus your energy on stressing about a health problem, it almost always makes it feel worse.  I have also been having health (teeth) problems that are totally encompassing, and I *can't* possibly put it out of my mind.  All that I can suggest is to change *how* you are thinking about it.  Instead of worrying about it and making yourself miserable, try to use your own energy to visualize healing yourself.  Instead of projecting/manifesting negativity, send positive healing thoughts to your body.  Tell your immune system how incredibly strong and smart it is, and how it is fully capable of healing your body.  I know it sounds crazy...but it will help you to feel better.  When you guide your body to do this, you need to be 100% confident in what you are thinking.  Not only will it actually lessen the physical pain that you are feeling, but it will also help lessen your anxiety about it until your appointment.  Whatever treatment the doctor gives you, continue this practice.  It will help you heal quickly.

As a qualified first aider, if I saw your fall, I would make sure you cleaned up any blood, and make an appointment with either your GP (doctor) or your dentist.\n\nThe only reason I would suggest this, is that it is possible you may have fractured your upper jaw or trapped nerves.\n\nHope its nothing serious :D

Possibly a broken rib.  You can break a rib from something as simple as sneezing.  You can go get an x-ray just to be sure, but there's nothing that can be done for a rib fracture.

It sounds as if your jaw is popping out of alignment.  Could lead to arthritis later in life.  I would stop doing this now.  I had a broken jaw when I was 13 years old and every now and then, my jaw pops and it hurts.  This does not happen very often, but I hope it does not cause me any further problems.

Sounds as if you may have cracked a rib.  Yes it would probably be good to see a doctor.  Also consider the cops and a restraining order.  If a fight with your b/f means getting physically beaten, I'd say find a new b/f and tell this one to get lost.

I fainted once... but thats because I was standing up for too long and was dehydrated! I have never broken a bone. I was taken to hospital once because I tripped on a step and my lip was bleeding a bit. Can I get the boobie prize for having the least dramatic injuries!

Sounds suspiciously like tetanus to me!\n\nIf you have cut yourself and are experiencing Jaw or any other spasms, GET TO A & E IMMEDIATELY! The locality of the wound is not as important as these following symptoms you describe.

Let's see - I have strained my neck as well.  I also have pulled a number of muscles over the years, gotten a concussion once (the guy slammed me to the mat), a lot of mat burns, got an elbow to the eye (a nice shiner), and probably the two worst injuries were a broken nose and a dislocated elbow.  Nothing life threatening, though.

Sorry, but the only way to tell if a bone is broken is with an x-ray unless it is visibly deformed. Please try to go to the doctor. In the mean time, keep it elevated and put ice compresses to reduce the swelling. Good luck.

i have been taking anti-depressants for the last 2 1/2 years or so, mostly zoloft, and paxil for a short while. i began to experience teeth grinding/jaw clenching soon after i initially started on the anti-depressants. i have since been diagnosed with tmj. no surgery has been required yet, but i am wearing through the mouthguard something fearsome, and am still in pain. i have since quit the anti-depressants all together. a class action suit might be a good idea.

What a great question, you perversely cheered me up just by asking it.  My vote goes with the broken heart healing faster, because it can partly depend on a certain amount of time passing, combined with meeting someone new.  Unless you're a Miss Havisham type.\n\nBut I've known people with truly crushed spirits and they are dealing with something deeper inside themselves.  Both scenarios are difficult and cause prolonged introspection, but having a crushed spirit does not necessarily involve an outside person who can be 'blamed.'  Even if  it does, there's just the person left alone with their crushed spirit -- it's a more individually-based source of misery, so the person would have to find their way out completely by themselves and find a reason for living.  The external factors are less important than they are when a person's heart is broken.  It's worth watching the film 'In the Mood for Love' and the sequel, '2046' in which the characters get a dose of both, so there's no escape.

I'm not sure if his jaw was broken, but the hard right that landed on Jersey Joe Walcott's jaw and ended their first fight might be what you are looking for. A search for Marciano Walcott on Google images will turn up pictures of the fight--the famous one of course being the one repeated numerous times. Also linked below is Rocky's career record, if you're interested in learning more.

He had a motorcylce accident and he wasn't wearing a helmet. He fractured his upper and lower jaws, broke his nose, fractured other facial bones, had multiple head lacerations, suffered a mild concussion, and lost two teeth and chipped several others. He has been released from the hospital and went out to training camp to make an appearance but no one was allowed to talk to him from the media. He has only written a statement so far that has been released to the public.
