After wearing a new pair of shoes the other week began to feel a pain at the back of my heel when when walking home from work. I though t the pain was a blister but on closer inspection it seemed i had a red lump sticking out the back of my heel.

This was about 2 weeks ago and the pain still pursists. I have looked this up on the internet and have self diagnosed this as heeel bursitis.

I have tried using padding in my heels and taking Anti-inflammatory's but this has had little effect.

I have no pian when i'm not wearing shoes but as soon as i start walking in any hard backed shoes the pain is excruciating. I can now only wear a piar of soft converse trainers to walk in.

Any advice on how long this will last and what i can do to help recovery?

My husband can not do it on purpose. What happens is his thumbs feel stiff for a second and then he bends them and they crack. After which, all is back to normal. This is especially true of his right thumb. His right thumb is a little shorter then the left one. I was wondering what causes this? Does his right thumb crack more often because it is shorter?

I'm suffering from some kind of insomnia again. Not sure if it's the diagnosable kind, but I do know I can't bring myself to go to bed...because I've tried before when I was like this (extremely tired but high-strung still), and I would just lay there for the entire night cursing at myself for not getting to sleep.

Very inconvenient as a college student. Sleep is required for effective study.
Ahhh!

Here is my deal. I have been diagnosed with BiPolar, agrophobia, panic attacks and ADD. It has gotten to the point to where I maybe get out of the house 2 times a week and that is only if I am with my husband. I am to the point where I don't even get dressed during the day, my body is so off wack that my body can't tell day from night as far as sleeping. It has never been this bad and I don't know what to do. It is like I have nothing to look forward to anymore, nothing I want to do, nowhere I want to go. It has gotten to where I don't cook anymore and just clean the house enough to where it is livable.

I am stuck in this rut and truly don't know how to get out of it. I am on Social Security Disability, I medically retired early. I have been going to therapy for years now and am on medication to treat the BiPolar. I am scared to death to go out in public without anyone for fear I will have a panic attack. Any suggestions?

ive wondered if i do have anxiety? im not sure? all i know is sometimes i am stressed out, thinking about things a lot before i got to bed.. but falling asleep shortly... sometimes i wonder if ive said dumb things... but dont we all do that? and when i do stay up a little later thinking, it's because i have lots of bills to pay and am so young. sometimes i feel happier than others but i dont think its bi-polar. i think this is normal. but i'm not sure if im ignoring an anxiety dis-order? or something else that could hurt me later on because it wasnt treated?

Yeah, umm ... NOW the Dr. decides he wants to pull a wisdom tooth and another to boot - I have NEVER had a tooth pulled. I know they will numb it up during - but what kind of pain am I looking at post-pulling? Do they give you meds to help your gimpy head out?
