Like I said i am 15 and if my back doesnt get better I wont be able to play on my school basketball team tuesday. Please give suggestions to what I can do. Thank you

The left side of my head is hurting in the back, over around the side and sometimes in the front. If I tilt my head to the left it hurts even worse. Is this just a headache? It's also burning..

My mom fell down at my wedding about 3 weeks ago ( it was raining and she was running to get out of the rain and slipped on her elbow). Now i came back from my honeymoon and her elbow is distorted and discolored. I told her she needs to go to a doctor but she is scared now, what should I do? She thinks it will heal by itself.

I have been diagnosed with a disc protrusion in the L3-L4 position. I have read alot on this but I still dont understand some things. Can this condition heal it's self? Or is this a problem I am stuck with forever? I have severe marked pain in both my back and left leg. I am worried that injections will not help me, Since I have had this injury for over a year, with no treatment. I guess my dr. didn't believe I had the pain until, I got real forceful and told them I wanted my back checked. So they did an MRI, and found the protrusion. I have an appointment with the pain dr. on the 30th to find out if I am a good canidate for injections. mostly I really need to know, can this injury heal it's self?

My brother-in-law has a herniated disc and collapsed disc in his back but no health insurance. He has gone to the ER on numerous occasions and all they will do is write prescription for steroids and pain killers. We are trying to find a way for him to get the problem fixed. All the ortho. surgeons we have tried expect payment up front or health insurance, neither of which is an option.
HELP! He is so much pain he can barely move. He is only 22 yrsd old and can't even work or live on his own. We live near York, PA.

I injured my ankle last wednesday and after a trip to a&e found that it was a grade 2 sprain (slight tear of ligaments but not severe). I kept it elevated with ice on for both thursday and friday and have been walking around a bit this weekend. Does anyone reckon that i could be back at school tomorrow or should i still not be using it normally?

Every time i take a new step my knee starts to hurt more. It constantly feels like it is going to collapse. I dont wanna tell my parents because they wont take it seriously and if they do they will over react. My phys. Ed. Teacher used to be a sports injury doctor but decided to become a gym teacher. I am gonna ask him to look ast it tomorrow. What do i say? Where? When? and most importantly i dont wanna bother him...will he be mad??

I started having heartburn about 4 days ago, and it comes and goes everyday. I noticed it comes especially when I have chocolate. It burns so bad in my throat. I have tried tums, rolaids, and Zantac 75, but it doesn't really work. Sometimes milk helps, but not everytime. What could be causing this to happen suddenly? Also, yesterday I didn't have any at all until I took my Zoloft at 11 p.m. last night. As soon as I swallowed it, the heartburn started. I have been taking Zoloft for years, so I know it doesn't have anything to do with that. Any idea's? I am NOT pregnant.
