My doctor diagnosed me with falling arches and prescribed me special insoles to put in my shoes. However, the insoles hurt worse than being without them.
Recently I started a new job, standing 8 hrs a day. I can't even stand up anymore. I get home and I'm falling down all over, that's how bad the foot pain is.

It's basically swelling in both feet at about 2 hrs., then my feet start to ache at 3 hrs. on the job, then my feet start burning (I don't mean a slight burn, I mean "someone has a flame up to my feet" burn) this happens at about 5 hrs into the day. By the time the day is done, I'm basically falling over. I also have bad aches in my back.

Is it just the falling archs problems, or maybe something more medical?

The interview:

How long have you had the injury?

How did the injury occur?

What are your symptoms?

How are you being treated for it?

Is the injury related to, or aggravated by, you job?

Where exactly is the injury located on your back?

Is there a way of preventing this type of injury?

I would very much appreciate it if I could hear from someone who has suffered from a back injury to answer these questions as best as they can. Thanks!

I use antihistamines, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, to help me fall asleep. Works pretty well, but I have been taking it for a long time. Would like other options.
Thanks.

I ordered to see my medical record and to the parts that I wanted to see the most. They blacked it out, are they trying to hide it from me or to anyone who orders to see my medical record? I find it quite strange. Is it normal?

Today, I gave my 21 month old a bath after breakfast, as his water was filling up, I made juice, Ice, and tea. I then went into the bathroom and saw that the water was black! I was at the time, dricking the juice that I had made. I live in America, we should not have this problem. I just whent into the bathroom with the tub in it, and noticed that there was a thick layer of dirt on the bottom of the tub, I then looked a the juice, and saw the same thing. I dumped the juice. The water is running clear now. But if it makes us sick, will the county have to pay for our medical bill. I have been felling ill since this morning. And what could cause all that dirt in water that is usually really clean. We haven't had rain in about three days.

I was in a bad car accident about 3 months ago. The car flipped 3 times. By some miracle I was okay except for wiplash. For the most part it is better but my right shoulder area still hurts. I get that electical therapy thing done to it 3 times a week and I am doing light weights to help the area but are there more things I can do? Maybe homeopathic or some kind of special stretching? Maybe a better therapy than the electrical stimulation machine?
