how come whenever you cut yourself or get a bruise it only hurts when youve realised youve done it,even if it was hours before and you didnt know?

I started working out my abs and upper body a while back twice a week and im usually sore a day or two after every work out. I recently joined track and because practice is everyday after school, my legs have been killing me and it seems like its something new everyday. Its nearly impossible to keep up with track and working out because im sore all over.

I stretch plenty of times a day to try to ease the pain because it hurts to walk. I also tried massaging my legs which helped and taking a hot bath which didnt help so much. Also, I think I strained one of my muscles today, and I iced it down for a while but it wasnt really helping. Is there anything that can be done to further help relax my muscles so they arent so sore all the time? Also, how do you treat a strained muscle?

I am taking Human Anatomy and we saw a video of a girl in surgery and I saw them take a tendon or ligament out to replace some cartilage, and I felt nausea and lightheaded like I was floating away. I put my head down to rest and I had like a five second dream of me falling and spinning, next thing I know I am on the floor, and nobody noticed. I am not generally squemish about blood or anything except this just happened out of the blue.

My niece is 15 and for the past 3 months she has been to the doctor with sinus problems and aches all over her body like flu symtoms. The problem is she gets this way 5-6 times a month.
She told me that her bones ache and when I lightly touch her skin she will jump back and say that hurts please dont touch me. Then she told her mommy that when she goes out side the wind even blowing on her skin hurts. This is all with a head ache of which the doctor says is part of her sinus thing but my sister and I are worried becasue we have sinus problems but never aching body and bones and pain to the touch along with it. Please help us as she is not feeling good at all most of the time.

For the past few days I've felt dizzy when moving about and it lingers for a few minutes before it passes. I also occassionally get a feeling like my entire body is trembling. And, as if that wasn't enough of a problem, I feel nauseous too.

Just to narrow down the possiblities here:
- not pregnant
- not on my period
- no pre-existing conditions
- eating normally
- no strenuous activity
- no other symptoms

Any ideas you might have on what I should do or what it might be are very much appreciated! Thanks.

Ok... I just stuck a q-tip in my ear and when I pulled the q-tip out, the tip was covered with blood. It's not deep in the ear canal nor is it painful.

This is the first time in my life that something like this happened. I also finished up a hardcore workout.

Is it possible that while I was lifting weights that a blood vessel in my ear popped?

I tried running about the equivalent of a marathon without training for it. I am athletic, but that is another beast to deal with. I couldn't even run much more than half of it.

I have 2 stress fractures in my feet. One in each. One near my left ankle bone and the other is on my right and is likely a metatarsal. I didn't have any X-rays to prove it. You just kinda know sometimes. I have gone over 2 months without running or serious sports and it's still not healed up. I was working some and maybe this slowed the healing, as I was on my feet and lifting some stuff now and then.

I've drank more milk than usual, taken some calcium supplements, actually laid off pop, which science has proven to contribute towards fractures later in life. Caffeine also leaches calcium.

I am 29. Have no insurance. Wanted to try a PEMF device(bone-growth stimulator), but not enough money. Is there a place I could rent one??

Have crutches at home, haven't used them much.

Suggestions, other?

I think some of you may have mistaken what I am asking. I am NOT asking for Tylenol 3s. I understand that you need a Rx for tylenol 3's. I know what you need a Rx for, and these are not among those. However, what I am asking for, is a general tylenol with a small amount of codeine added, that is sold OTC in Canada, and you ARE ALLOWED to bring back over the border into the USA, but you are only allowed 100 pills per person. So in theory, if I am allowed to have 100 pills travel across legally with me, I should be able to order 100 pills right? These pills are sold in any and all drug stores in Canada, even WalMart. They are just like Tylenol to us here, except have a small dosage of codeine added. I am not able to GO to Canada because I live far from the border, so I am curious how to get my legal 100 pills sent via mail. Thanks to those of you who have helped. I just want to reassure these are NOT tylenol 3s... even in Canada you need you need an Rx for tylenol 3s.
