I 'popped' my neck earlier today, like I do all the time...but now it's hurting right there, right between my upper neck and where my head starts...what did I do? If I try to 'pop' it again it feels really weird? I have a slight headache too...did I do anything serious?

When I come in from the cold, the inside of my ears are really painful, it feels like they are thawing out, that's the only way I can describe it! It's really sore!

I have been dealing with extreme lower back pain whenever I go to sleep at night. I'm only able to sleep for like 2 hours and then I have to change sides, I can't lie on my back and sleep, it hurts too much. I do this through out the entire night and its been going on for almost a year now. I went to the doctor and he prescribed a steroid and some muscle relaxers but they don't seem to be doing anything. I am also doing some specific streches and exercises to help. I need some feedback to whether or not to go back to the doctor. Thanks

i jammed my right pinky finger in a basketball 5 days ago and now my finger is still swollen,and it looks like the whole thing is bruised. It hurts when i bend it towards my hand. The knuckle in the middle ofmy pinky is in pain and its crooked. Is it just pain from being jammed or could it be somthin else?

I had swelling on my knee this morning and so I put an ice pack on it on the way to work. When I got to work my knee was bright red and stinging and is more swollen than before. It been about 3 hours since I've had the ice pack off and it is still red, stinging and swollen. I'm not quite sure what I can do? Can anyone help?

I have been sick with flu-like symptoms for 3 days. My grandsons had it first; dirrea, volmiting, low-grade temperture. Since they were better in 2 days and I'm still sick, my daughter thinks its a new diabetic (Byetta) medication, which can cause the similar side-effects. I've been on the new medication for a month and I haven't shown any problems until now. Coud I still have the flu?

My girlfriend cut herself on her left wrist while cooking about three weeks ago. We went to the emergency and they said there were no arteries severed. She got stitches and have been taken out. She finds that it is hard to bend her wrist, and she is feeling discomfort in the palm of her hand. When she is sitting on the floor, she can't push her self up with her left hand. What kind of exercises, physiotherapy could she do to strengthen her hand/wrist?
