I've been having some odd muscular spasms/twitches in my calf muscles recently. It feels like a small static shock in one place particularly in my left calf. Also after exercising my calf muscles seem to become really stiff and solid, which makes the spasms more frequent. Anyone have ideas or similar experiences to this and know what could be causing it?

Ok, I'm far from fat, but I do have quite a gut on my stomach. It looks very unattractive, especially if you look at me from the side. It's only noticeable when Im shirtless, but it looks ugly. I want to get rid of the weight on my upper body and firm up. Cuz when ur belly sticks out more than ur chest, its quite unattractive. What's the best way to get rid of the stomach/upper body weight?

Okay, so I've been getting alot of mixed messages from people on weight lately, I'm fine the way I am, gain weight, lose weight, etc. And I want an opinion from some people who won't judge me and won't let their prior thoughts of me effect that.

Okay, this is going to be embarressing, but I don't actually know anyone on here, so I guess it's okay...

Alright,
I'm 14, female
I'm about 5'4
And I weight around 91 pounds...

Please, don't judge, just give me your honest opinions...

For the past month my shoulders, chest, and back have had a dull aching feeling. The doctors did blood tests, ekg, chest xray, and stress test and nothing came up abnormal. Basically, I feel a sorness (not in my muscles) more inside, and it is sometimes in my arms, sometimes in my shoulders, sometimes in my chest , sometimes on side, sometimes the other. it comes for a few hours, then goes. I have tried sleeping, excercising. Any ideas?? the doctor toldme to take ibuprofen for a week.

about 8 years ago my friend Candace was in a bad motorcycle accident, she broke her hip and split her head open and some other things and was in the hospital in a drug induced coma for a while till she healed, they fixed up her head and stuff but never fixed her hip, she said that the doctors and them decided that fixing up her head and brain was more important than her hip, since then she has had trouble with pain in her hip, she can no longer work cause she can't sit or stand for more than an hour without having to go home in extreem pain, she is on social security disability, even doing things like vaccumming and mowing the lawn are to hard for her, she does go to physical therapy once or twice a week, she is on medication for the pain but has had to switch a few times over the years cause after a while the drug has no effect, she has thought about suing before but life happened and the years went by, could she still sue the hospital or has it been 2 many years?

Hello all, I weigh 280 lbs and im 6 foot 4 inches. I want to lose 80 lbs over the next 2 years (so im 190-200 when i graduate college). As far as dieting goes how should i figure out how many calories to eat per day and in what food groups. Other then jogging/running what other exercises should i do to help lose weight. On average. How many calories should i be burning per day and how do i calculate that. My goal is to be able to go on vacation once i graduate to a beach and feel good taking my shirt off and swimming and not feel like the entire world is watching me. Also would drinking water only help with this or should i drink other things as well (im a big coke fan and a smoker and am quiting both those tonight)

Many thanks for yout assistance in advance.

I work on a warship. Breakfast is from 6 am to 7 am. A lot of the time I oversleep and wake up after 7. I can't eat afterwards because I have to work. Is there a good supplement to take to make up for it? i.e. centrum, etc.

And don't tell me to Google it. I want answers from people not web pages. If I wanted to Google it I wouldn't go somewhere more engaging and helpful like Yahoo answers, where people actually offer insight.

I'm having a horrible, horrible pain in my head around the back of my head, my forehead, and behind my eyes. It feels like someone has grabbed my eyes from the back and is squeezing them. It feels like the worst headache i've ever had. Pain medication didn't help much and didn't last long, I feel almost sick, sometimes it peaks and hurts so bad I want to rip my head off... will I be okay until tomorrow or do I need to go to the emergency room?
