I woke up yesterday morning and when I stepped out of bed I had a terrible pain in the heel of my left foot. I just tried to ignore it most of the day but by the time I got home and took off my shoes I could hardly put any weight on it. It doesn't hurt if I am sitting or lying down (as long as nothing is touching it.) It only hurts when I try to put weight on it. I did NOT step on anything ~ so that is not the problem. Any suggestions?

I have stopped in the past for even a year before and picked it back up when my dad was very ill. He has since died. Then I got a stressful job and did not quit. I want to quit. Cold turkey is how I did it before, but now it will not be as easy b/c I married a smoker. Are there any suggestions for the best patches or any other advice on how to help me out there. Thank you.

4-5 weeks ago I was hanging curtains and lost my footing on the chair I was standing on, I fell backward and hit the front of my ankle on the chair seat as I went down. It hurt a lot, but I iced it and it wasn't immediately swelling. I had and still have full range of motion, and it didn't hurt any worse when I walked. It only hurts more when I sit indian-style with that ankle on the bottom pushing on the floor (my favorite sitting position of course). By the next it developed a NASTY bruise and some swelling. The bruise lasted 3 weeks. The swelling went down to a small bump which is where it hurts to push on it. The bump now comes and goes, it gets bigger if I wear tight socks. I'm concerned that it still hurts there and it's odd that the bump comes and goes... if I go to a doctor can they even do anything? What type of injury do you think it is? It doesn't seem like a sprain or fracture... How long should it take to heal? Thank you for any educated advice you have!

I have been diagnosive polyneuraphy and severe DDD. I cannot lay down because pain worsens. I am scheduled for EMG and NCV. I am taking Lyrica to help with muscle spasms and nerve pain. When I am in pain I am unable to move or walk due to severe pain. I use a walker so I don't fall. Once I am up I can walk after about an hour with pain but not as severe as when I lay flat. I cannot do everyday simple chores. My muscles are weak and stretch without my help which also will cause pain to increases. The pain seems to be sore, tender and raw on the lower left side of my spine and radiates to both buttocks and legs with numbness and tingling minimal. I have been sleeping in a recliner for 3 months because I cannot lay flat. The muscle weakness seems worse in my hands and left leg and I cannot support my lower body due to the pain which has caused me to fall several time. What can be done? I need help and I am very depressed due to the pain. I will not see dr for results for 2 more months.

If this was a normal day, I'd go to my clinic. But it's closed today. In your opinion should I go to Urgent Care? Here are my symptoms:

Runny Nose
Sore and Very swollen throat
itchy eyes
sinus pain and pressure
slight cough

On the whole, I feel okay, but I'm pretty uncomfortable. I'd also appriciate suggestions on home remedies and such.

Also, you have no way of knowing for sure, but do you think the urgent care clinic will be PACKED?

If so did you fall into it? Are you still there or did you manage to get out? Did it hurt? Have you a bump, bruise or any other visible injury? If none of the about what the fcuk was it all about then?

My little boy (6) has fallen, bitten through his tongue and broken a chunk off his tooth! The tooth isn't bothering him at the moment, so I don't think we need to see the emergency dentist today. But I am a little worried about his tongue! It seems to have stopped bleeding, but it is still very painful...

Any advice would be most welcome! Why do these things always happen on a public holiday?!
