Today at school I went to track practice and pushed myself a little- my leg was a little sore but it was nothing to worry about

Then at swim practice my coach wanted me to work harder and I pushed myself 100%. At the last lap of practice I get this KILLER leg cramp. I couldn't even get up and walk around...I had to hop out of the pool and to the showers on one leg!

I wouldn't really care about this normally, but I have a TRACK MEET tommorrow and it is my first one. I want to do well, but I can't run with such a bad cramp.

I have already tried stretching it out. It got a little better, but I still cannot walk without it hurting. I'm planning on putting Bengay cream on it and a heating pad. Then I'm gonna take some advils and hope for the best tommorrow.

Please help me. I need some miracle medicine or advice on what to do. Any quick fixes for leg cramps?

I generally feel like I was run over by an 18 wheeler in my sleep most mornings, and often sleep through the alarm clock. Any suggestions from fellow night owls?

I have just had tarsal coalition reduction 2 and 1/2 months ago and my foot hasn't seemed to get better. I was just seen by the doctor buy he says it is still to early took xrays and said to come back in a month. I wont be able to see him till the 29th of the new year. My pain has moved from my foot to my ankle and around the heel. I am wondering if something else could be wrong. Till I see him again thou, I am in pain. I am on Vicoden and it helps only for about 4 to 6 hours if I am not on my feet. It hurts all the time, expecially when I walk around set then get up again... that is the worst! It hurts when I stand and it hurts when I lay down. When I lay down the pain seems to move up my leg to my knee (when I set too).
Does anyone know what could be wrong, if anyone has had this problem, and/or what I can do for the pain till I see the doctor again. Any info would be great.

I am not an addict in anyway. I simply have been sufferring from severe back pain that goes through my hip and down my leg. I have been to the Dr., but can't afford the MRI needed to find out what the problem is, and do not have any hea;th insurance. I would just like a reliable, safe amount of relief.

I was just sitting on the couch yesterday when my shoulder started to hurt and it still hurts today. Not as bad as this morning. i know there is scar tissue around it like a bit further down on my arm above my elbow a bit. That should not affect my shoulder though! This morning my spoon was heavy to feed my self but that has gotten better.

two nights ago (saturday the 9) i was at a party dancing barefoot and this girl STOMPED on my foot with her heels on!!! I was limping for a while but then i just decided to forget about it, even though it still hurt. My toe is now, two days later, black and blue and purple all over and its swollen and there is this weird indent/bump in it (in two different spots) and i just put ice on it. How do i know if it really is broken/ fractured? If it is, will i have to use a splint? thanks!
