About two weeks ago I had a cold. I still have the congested cough but feel fine. This morning I woke up and under my left ear down my neck is sore to touch. It is not swollen, just very sore to touch or when I eat and turn my head to the right. Does anyone know why?

hopefully that topic catches your attention lol.
my stepfather used to snap those little paper snappers you get on fourth of july in my ear when i was little (the ones you throw against the floor and they snap) with his fingers as a practically joke i guess, a few times i heard a ringing in my ear when i was younger around probably 8 or 9 (im 20 now.)
when i plug my left ear, my right ear doesnt hear as much, sounds a bit muffled actually. do you think this could've caused it, or just natural causes? i figure it cant be much worse than accidentally turning on a walkman full blast with headphones on accidentally, but the warning says to keep them within 10 feet or so from your face and such. do you think this is a possibility, what is the intensity of sound created from these, would it take much more to impair ones hearing at all with it? i've always wondered it, and it bugs me my stepfather could've caused that. thanks.

When I am on pointe, I get mild cramps in the arch of my foot. Also, when I take my shoes off, my big toes are mashed down around the corner of the nail instead of straight across the toe. Finally, when I stand with just one foot on pointe, my ankle keeps sickling. Are my ankles too weak? Will I have to go off pointe? and are there any exercises that i could do to prevent my feet from sickling on pointe?

I fell about 5 weeks ago and landed right on my back. Recently , I have begun to experience severe back pain, and went to my chiropractor yesterday. She said that it was very inflammed and gave me some treatment. After, I felt even worse, to the point where I can barely even walk. I went to the emerg today , desperate to get a stonger pain killer/anti-inflammatory ( ibuprofen wasn't working ) and the DR said the chiropractor could have made the inflammation worse . Does anyone know if this could be true? I have gone to that chiropractor for years and trust them, but now I'm wondering....

Thanks !

yesterday i fell on my knee during a basketball game. It's not broken or dislocated, just swollen and the muscle around it is very tight. I now have a knee brace. How long will it take for it to heal so that i don't have to use the brace or crutches to walk?

I was just wondering if anyone knew whether sciatica could be caused by a poorly-done spinal tap, as the needle goes right through the area of the sciatic nerve. I've had trouble with my back off and on since I had the proceedure in August. Every time I do heavy activity, it flares up.
