That's supposed to read "blood vessel".
Has anyone had this happen before? When does this excruciating pain go away and what can I do to get rid of it quicker?? Should I see a doctor??? HELP!!!

My goodness. Where do you think one popped at?0

You should at least be icing it and elevating it. Keep the ice on for 5 mins and off for 5 mins. I have never had that happen myself but I hear it is very painful. My little sister popped one in her head last week, from throwing up so hard with the flu. Good luck..0

Now THAT sounds dangerous. I hope she's okay.0

I would go to the doctor, I've had burst blood vessels before but they didn't hurt.
In the meantime maybe icing the area would help.
take care0 -
What makes you think it was a blood vessel? Could you have torn a tendon or ligament? I would definitely ice it off and on, keep it elevated and follow-up with the doctor if it doesn't resolve within a day or two.0

You're right, I'm not sure. I'll see what happens and I may end up having to get it checked out.0

Wow, I didn't know you popped a blood vessel. Are you sure it's a blood vessel and not just a strained muscle?? I hope you are ok and get well soon b/c you need to be able to work out to keep up with me.0
