Knee hurts when for example I'm trying to take my shoes off by stepping on the heel of my right shoe with my left toes and pulling up with a "bending" motion of the leg. If I keep my leg straight and pull up there is no pain. There is no pain when walking or jogging, there is pain when trying to accelerate and decelerate from a sprint. The pain is in very deep in the back of my knee. It also hurts if I try to bend my right knee inwards and sit my right foot on my left thigh. I can do squats and lunges without pain. I can lie down on my stomach and bend the knee through its full range of motion all the way to my butt without pain. Basically it only hurts under load, when bent almost to the limit under load or when bending toward the inside of my body. Another example of pain is when I am lying on the floor, put my right foot on a table and attempt to lift my hips off the ground using the foot as leverage.

First Q...in my left hand (palm) by my ring finger (by my knuckle, but on my palm)...well underneath the skin there is a hard bump and I can move it. Does anyone have any clue to what it is?

2nd Q...lately I've been getting sharp pains by my left shoulder blade. I get a constant, steady dull flow of pain that I can barely feel and every once in awhile I'll get a stabbing pain by my shoulder blade that spread down my back, towards the middle of my back, up into my shoulder and neck and head, underneath my arm...it's only on my left side and doesn't cross over to the right. When I get it, it also goes down my arm and into my pinky and I get a tingly feeling.

Like I said, I KNOW I should go see a doctor and I plan on it...I'm just curious to see what it could be. Sorry if that all sounds confusing...

My 16 year old son has been having leg cramps off & on, which I thought was probably growing pains. Now he is starting to have his right hand go cold, which I thought was weird. It is only his right hand, never his left. I saw where some people have this happen if they are on the computer for long periods of time, but he really doesn't do that. He does play a lot of pool. I'm not sure if I should be worried or make a doctor appt. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I typed in poor hand circulation to the hand, and LOTS of scarey things came up, I read some horror stories on here about bad doctor input tho...anyone with same age, or symptoms, please help out with some info...son't want to make the wrong decision.

About a week ago I had walked during a cold very windy day and it caused my right ear to ache. A day or so later my throat (on the right side) began to swell and hurt but went back to normal a day or so after. Now for the past 2 or 3 days, the inside of my right ear has been hurting to the point where it hurts to insert a Q-tip. I don't think it's anything serious but it's very uncomforterable. Should I go see a doctor about this or is this a simple problem and I should be able to find some drops for it?

My cat had a large bump on her back, so the vet said they should keep her and drain the puss out of the bump. They pretty much strung a "rope" of gauze through the bump, but when i got home tonight she ripped it out with her mouth. Now it's an open wound with some fresh blood, she didn't seem to be bleeding anymore. Tomorrow morning she goes in to have the little gauze piece removed. What can I do to solve this? Realistically.

It gets really annoying, I got it when I was playing basketball a few days ago and I got shouldered in the mouth and my bottom teeth cut about 3/4 inch of the inside of my lip. It's white and it doesn't really bleed so I guess I should call it a scrape instead.

Does anyone know anything that would help it heal? It doesn't look like it's gonna heal anytime soon. I dunno if I have any special ointments around the house or anything.

I heard that yogurt is good for your immune system and gastrointestinal issues. Does it kill the stomach viruses that include symptoms of vomiting and diherrea?

My body feels healthy, I exercise (not as often as I used to), I drink about 64-96 oz of water a day, get 7-8 hours of sleep a night, take a multi-vitamin, don't eat fast food but cook my dinners. I wake up tired, and feel tired almost all day long, I don't drink coffee. Someone mentioned it may be anemia and that I should eat more red meat, so I have been doing that, not much of a difference. I don't want to live tired everyday, and the lack of motivation really is a downer, anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
