Health - 21 May 2007

When I walk, I feel a pain on the bottom of my left foot, like a knife is stabbing into it. I went to a podiatrist about this two weeks ago, and he said I had plantar fasciitis. The pain comes and goes, but when it's bad, it's really painful, and putting any weight on it at ALL hurts like heck (like I said it feels like a knife is stabbing into my foot)! My question is, what should I do about it? I am wearing, per the podiatrist's instructions, supportive shoes (birkenstocks or good sneakers), but I still have pain sometimes.

my doctor put me on the mini pill to try to regulate vaginal bleeding due to a c-section i had 3 months ago, i'm still having irregular bleeding. break through bleeding. I've notified him about this and he ensures that there's nothing wrong, that sometimes your body does that, that it's just my body trying to re-adjust back to normal. Should i get a second opinion?

I am pretty active as i play rugby, field hockey and swim when each is in season, and i often get compliments on my healthy eating choices. i've always been a tad heavy, but weight is not something i consider an issue because i am also muscular. BMI indicators do not really tell me anything, because since I weigh about 127 lbs and stand at 5'3", i am "normal". Regardless, I loathe my chubby gut.
What can I do to try and get rid of excess fat?

Have you ever had a staph infection? If so, what type and where was it on your body? How long did it last, the symptoms, etc.? Just curious.

I've been running a fever for the past three days, the highest my temperature has been is 101.7 F. I don't feel sick, the only reason I checked my temp was because my husband said that my skin felt really warm. I've been able to control it with Tylenol, but about 4 hours after I take the Tylenol it starts to climb again. Its usually higher in the mornings after I've been asleep all night and haven't taken anything for it.

The only other condition I have is an epigastric hernia, and I don't know if it could be related to that or not.

I have a doctor's appointment next week, but I'm starting to get a little concerned? Any ideas what can cause a persistent fever with no other symptoms?
