The thing is that i play a lot of sports like netball, football, hockey, etc and I xcan't do it as much because it hurts.Oh, and it started when I was about 8 - 10 years old and Im 14 now.

My 8 year old sister was treated for chicken pox a few weeks back. After almost one week, she started having fever followed by pain (aching kind?) all over her body. The pain is severe, according to her, appears at any time, persists for some 5 - 10 min at max all over the body and then disappears. She doesn't have any rashes or any iching kind of pain, but it is an aching kind of pain, which once appeared can't be relieved by any means, other than just 'suffer and wait' until the pain subsides on its own.

We consulted a paedriatic surgeon, she was given cefixime and ibuprofen. Fever has subsided, though the pain persists now also.

I am deeply upset, and adding to it, my elder sister (15) also has started to get the same kind of pain.(she had already got chicken pox in her child hood). We r really sad,as once the pain appears, there is nothing we can do to relieve the pain, neither a muscle massage, nor any thing helps.

Please tell me what it is all about.... Please help...

I’m 5’5 133 lbs with a large frame and 22% body fat, not fat by any standard. It seems most women who have large frames are overweight and overfat. Most slim Hollywood celebs have small frames and the ones who have large frames tend to be enormous like Rosie O’Donnell. Is it just my imagination

I am originally scheduled to get impressions and temp teeth on Dec. 3 and then permanent teeth on Dec. 19. Because money is tight, I am thinking of keeping the temp teeth untill January. I am afraid that if I schedule the permanent teeth in January, the temp teeth might be ugly. Then I would be stuck with them until January. Have you ever had temporary teeth? What were they like?

I have been getting horrible backaches in the bra line when I lean forward. If for instance we are dining out or I spend much time at the table when eating I will get that pain. I know it isnt caused from food. Yesterday I had my fingernails done and ending up spending about 2 hours not being able to sit up straight but leaning forward a bit. My back hurt so bad the rest of the day and night I could not get comfortable to even sleep. The pain is right in the bra line from the back and wraps around to the beginning of the breasts. Can anyone tell me what would cause this or what to do?

I went to the Dr. because I have heart palpitations. I was tested for 48 hrs with "the holter moniter". I had various different episodes while on the monitor, including an episode @3am when my heart skipped beats and went from high 60's to @150bpm! I was sleeping at the time it happened.
My Dr. suggested that I ween myself off of caffiene to see if this helps. My question is:

If I need to ween myself off of caffiene in order to have a regular heart beat, is there an underlying condition I might have or is this a reaction to the caffiene? If I have palpitations due to caffiene, does that mean my heart is actually weak?
