My 13year old has a lot of problems with his archilles heal. Could wearing flat or "skater shoes" be the reason for tenderness in this area?

If I exercised for at least one hour on a treadmill a day, 7 days a week, how long before I'd notice a drop in blood pressure? Would it begin to take effect in under 6 months or no? I don't know if I'm phrasing this correctly, but I just would basically like to find out how long it would take for my blood pressure to start dropping if I were to adopt a healthier lifestyle and exercise (because I'm fairly sedentary due to my job). Thanks. (I'm looking for expert advice or advice from people who have lowered their blood pressure or know of someone who has. My goal is to lower my blood pressure and by extension my resting heart rate.) :)

I can eat small amounts without getting deathly ill. I love peanuts and it's hard to find really good candy and such that doesn't contain nuts of some sort. I can eat a small amount of peanut products without getting deathly ill but I do still get sick and usually have to take at least a couple of tylenol to help with the killer headache I get. My wife wants me to stop eating that stuff alltogether because she thinks it's going to harm me in the long run or that one day I might eat too much. I think she just worries too much, are there any potential long term health risks from me eating a food I'm allergic to?

I'm more or less at my wits end. Every doctor I go to tells me that the xrays and MRI are showing nothing wrong with me and that I need to exercise.

I'm 22 years old, I shouldn't be having chronic back pain that has no apparent cause. And at very least if it were a muscle strain I'd figure that 8 months would have been plenty of time for it to heal. I'm not in that bad of shape, I walk 2 or 3 miles a day.

I have more or less written off medication as a simple mask of the problem. The problem to me isn't the pain, it's whatever is causing the pain. In a way I'd rather deal with the pain until the real problem is identified and gotten rid of so it can serve as a reminder. I'm not sure my exercising is helping any and for some reason my doctors seem to think I'm making it up or they just want to perscribe me more pain killers.

Is there anything else I can do on my own to combat back pain?

I have exams very soon which I fear may clash with my period which is an absolute disaster because I get so ill (vomiting, cramps etc) as most of you most probably know. I have never used the pill , if I take it does it delay the period? For how long? Are there any side effects? When do I need to start taking it if my exam is in 3 weeks? Please help!

Ever since it started getting cold out, my chocolate lab seems to be getting really bad dry skin. It started out as normal dandruff, but now it is pretty bad, to the point where he is losing hair. I keep him bathed once every 2 weeks, but it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas or recommended products would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
