My lower back has been hurting me almost constantly for the past several months. It has gotten to the point that I avoid sitting down whenever and however possible. I can only get on the computer by lying slightly reclined on my bed and using my laptop. Some days are better or worse than others, but the pain persists. The only other symptom I have is that I am rather stiff all over when I wake up in the mornings. I walk like Frankenstein for about 15 to 30 minutes, and then I can walk more normally, even though my lower-back still hurts. Bloodwork is inconclusive, and so for the doctors haven't been able to figure out what is going on with me. Can someone help?

Grah. So, I ended up getting hives for the second time from a medication my doctor prescribed me. It's 8:33 at night. The doctor's isn't opened tomorrow. Is there anything I can do to minimize the size of the hives and possibly get rid of the itching?! I'm freaking out here because last time I had medication which relieved it. But this time, I don't.

Please, help.

I was sick about a month ago and i still seem to be producing a lot of mucus. Every morning i have to cough up a loogie or blow my nose, it gets really annoying. Sometimes even the mucus gets stuck in between my throat and my voice starts going away or gets deeper and i have to cough or clear my throat. What can i do?

My level is 8.3 (HDL only 2). I don't smoke, drink any alcohol, am vegetarian, don't eat high fat foods (except twice when I had anorexia and I was on a hospital weight gain diet), do stupid amounts of exercise. My dad has it. Is it purely genetic or anything to do with my history of eating disorders and gaining and losing weight quickly? The doctor says I am too young to go on medication (I am 28) an dI have to change my diet. I think he must think I am lying about my diet, but I honestly don't know what I can do!! Any ideas?

I am 22 and had not got spots regularly for a few years now but recently I have started getting them again. I get very big spots on my cheeks in symmetry, I get one big red spot on one cheek a few days later it will come on the exact same place on the other side, they are really and leave big red marks, it took years for other marks from this condiction to fade a little bit, but don't want adult acne heard the marks for this are really bad with no fading etc.

Does it cost the surgery? I heard they can't be bothered filling paperwork in. Also I personally haven't been yet am expecting a no because a friend had very bad spots and they tried to talk her out of it.

It's not normal for people my age to start getting red spots that are very big, that sting a bit and are infectious, it's not an allergic reaction or anything in case you are wondering I always had spots like these in the past but I though I had seen the last of spots, they are bigger than my head.

Thank you for your answers. Yes, I,m in counceling. My brother just passed away and it has been almost unbearable but is getting better. I just can,t deal with the exhaustion. If I had to describe my life for the last 15 years it would be ,Total Exhaustion! I have never done illegal drugs in my life but I think if I found one that I knew would not harm me but give me strength in my body, then I would take it. I will keep praying and hope God will fix this so maybe I won,t .Is there any real natural energy drinks or something that,s not loaded with a leathal amount of caffine that helps? I just took the med, the doctor gave last night and woke up at 12:00 today drugged. This will not work! I HAVE to work! I am DESPARATE! It is not only effecting my life but also my Marriage.Thanks again for your answers.

My Husband has had his Portacath in for 4+ years without use. Now he is having it removed. Wouldn't it have tissue growth on it, and possible blood clots that could become dislodged during removal? Could this be a problem?
