I can crack every joint in my body and I've been able to do this since I was a kid. The knuckle popping started at about 5 yrs. old. And I noticed that it seems like every year or so I'm able to pop different bones in different ways. Just last year I discovered I can pop my sternum by stretching. And my shoulder pop two different ways. And my back or spine pops in a few different ways. What is this am I going to fall apart. Not only can I pop everything But its really loud when I do it.. need answers. Last and lease I have lower back pain all the time esspecially when I'm sleeping and when I wake up and I crack my back and all joints in my sleep it seems like cracking my lower and upper back releaves the pain. Again what is this and why do I do it.

i put my hands behind my head to stretch and when i did i felt a sharp pain in the base of my neck. now it hurts all the way down in to my shoulders and in my upper chest and up right behind my ear when ever i turn my head. i went to the ER but they said it could be about 3 to 4 hours just to get back to see a Dr because they were full of people with the that flu cold mix thing going around so i went home. Any clue on how i can stop the pain at home? i have put a heating pad even took some Advil but nothing is stopping the pain.

It feels like something is broken but i know that can't be it that's how i know it's a pinched nerve for all those who would ask well how do u know it's a pinched nerve

Does anyone know how to relieve migraine headaches? I used to take tylenol but after many years of taking this, I think it has taken a toll on my liver. I get pains right in my liver area.I dont know what to do anymore and the pain from the migraine headaches are so intense that I think only a migraine sufferer would understand how this feels. Any suggestions?

I pulled my groin about a month and a half ago, and it still hasn't healed, i did this once before and it took 5 months to heal, that was my fault because everytime it started to feel better i would go do something like kick(i study martial arts) run, lift weights, etc. Well, i haven't done anything since i pulled it this time. But everytime it starts to feel better i hurt it again and then it will hurt for another few weeks, i work at a place where i have to lift things up all the time, i am trying to take it easy but i can't just not work. Also sometimes it starts to feel better and i'll make a suttle movement and it will hurt for awhile afterwards, what can i do to help make it heal quickly? I know i should get it checked out, but what else can i do?

Specifically the shampoo. It's very expensive and I don't want to waste my money on it if it doesn't work.

I was just in bed watching tv about to fall asleep, and all a sudden my heart started to beat really fast and I felt nauseous, weak, and anxious. I'm really freaked out and now I'm not sure if I'm just pyching myself out. What can I do?

when i get very little sleep i tend to have pain in the entire left side of my body. it starts in my neck, it gets all stiff behind mye ar, then it gives me a headache on that same side. then my chest starts to hurt and breathing gets tight, then it goes into my shoulder pretty bad, then into my arm. then my side down to my waist is throbbing. this happens when i get very little sleep and have to do many strenuous things. last night my baby was up through the entire night cutting teeth. then today i had to shovel snow....and take care of the kids due to a snowday. so now the whole left side of my body hurts. i know it's because i need to sleep. does this sound normal to you?

As previously mentioned i have the following problem. I have knee pain in both knees on the outsides of each kneecap. When running i can sometimes feel a crunch with severe pain. Also standing for long periods can cause pain.... the pain comes and goes and some days are better then others..... to me the pain seems to be more from bone then soft tissue.

Now recently the pain is also more noticable on the inner lower part of the knee cap of both knees... I played contact sports for over 16 years.
Any ideas what it may be?

I hurt my knee almost 2 years ago playing basketball. The injury happened when i tried to jump up towards the basket which was towards my left and when pushed off i heard a pop on out side portion of my knee. My knee had a weird weak sensation in my knee followed by dull pain and i couldn't stand on that knee. it felt like it would buckle. ever since then the knee feels weak and ive injured it a couple more times (kicking a soccer ball and after landing from a jump i landed on my toes but my knee made more popping noises). i dont have insurance and i dont have a lot of money to spend on medical fees. if anyone could help it would be much appreciated. thank you.

My husband dislocated his shoulder 10 years ago and claims that a dislocated shoulder never heals. So everytime it moves it funny or anything he complains that it hurts bad (it seems excaggerated to me). He told me that it is because of the injury he got in high school (dislocated shoulder), I just think he is trying to get attention, but now I am wondering if it is true that it never heals because he just made a big deal out of it when I asked about it.

I can't sleep!! I get moderate exersize during the day (Maybe not as much as I should be getting but its not like I don't at all), I always eat really healthy, balanced meals. (For dinner tonight I had chicken and rice with salad. I drank milk.) I am out in the sun about 30 minutes a day. And when I try to go to sleep, I can't. If there's something on my mind, I'll write it in my journal and that gets it out so I don't think about it anymore. Then I'll just lie there, not thinking about anything. And I can't sleep. I'll stay up until like 12 or 1 just sitting there. I've tried reading. Doesn't help. It's just so frustrating!! I have to wake up at 6 in the morning. But still, when it comes for bedtime, I can't sleep. I lie there, tired as hell, wanting to sleep, but I can't. And then I can't concentrate during school so now my grades are starting to fall. I tell my mom I can't sleep, but she tells me to go to bed earlier, and I tell her what I just typed, but she doesn't really get it
