I am always tired. I have tried taking over the counter sleeping pills but I still wake up in the night and it takes about 3 hours to put me to sleep. I feel like I could stay in bed all day yet I dont ever have any energy... what is going on?

i had to walk 10+ miles to get home the other day, & no surprise my feet (and legs) didn't feel so good afterwards. thing is, later that day the inside of my ankle/foot above the arch was bruised looking & VERY swollen, warm, and painful. i also got a bruise on the outer top of my foot. it's still like this. i can barely walk, standing is uncomfortable, and the only thing that doesn't hurt it is if i keep it totally still w/nothing touching it. it feels like there's a bunch of nails jambed in my foot. what could be wrong? what can i do to make it feel better?

My rotator cuff tear hurts morning noon and night. What do you do about yours and if you have had surgery are you glad you did?

have conjunctivitis, and I've had to go through the whole annoying process of throwing out my contact lenses, mascara, etc. But I really want to avoid having to throw out my MAC eye shadows. Does anyone know how I can disinfect them? I've see make-up artists spray something on the eye shadow pots in the store, but I'm not sure what it is... would alcohol ruin them?

Sunday night my body just started hurting. Every muscle is sore and I have just been staying in bed since then just getting up to take baths to help with the aches. I also need to sleep with pillows all around me to help me feel better.
It feels like a flu type but I don't have any other symptoms, just a small grade fever.. it hasn't gone above 101.00
I also haven't done anything strenuous that would have caused this.

Any ideas???

I am familiar with "subluxation" and the popping of gas bubbles in between your joints, but what does that accomplish?

I smashed my finger by mistake off some wooden steps over 3 weeks ago. I thought it was staved despite the fact it was very swollen at the time. I ignored it as I could still bend it and it wasnt pass out pain. The problem is it still hurts and is a bit swollen and may be slightly crooked but that might just be me being paranoid. If it wasn't broken I would have thought that it maybe wouldnt hurt now. And what should I do about it anyway. My GP is just too busy so I can't get an appointment and keep working as I need the money. Any suggestions?

I suffer from acute Migraines and my insurance does not cover it. It comes to over $600 for a month supply. I simply cannot afford that but my migraines are so bad that i can't even get up sometimes. Does anyone know of a over-the-counter equivalent?

I just don't want to keep taking Tylenol.

-Please help-

The prescription given to me by my doctor is: Rizatriptan Benzoate

Looking for what Over-The-Counter (OTC) headache medicine you take and how long does it take for you to get results? Please just address the occasional headache, not migraines.

I am considering ankle fusion surgery for correction of a congenital defect known as tarsal coalition. Please let me know if the fusion corrected your pain and if the surgery was worth it.
