What could cause this pain? I am a 23 year old male and I have felt this dull almost spasm like feeling for 7 months, when I'm standing I hardly feel it, but when I'm sitting down I feel it. The location of the feeling is my lower left hand side around the bottom of the left hand side of my rib cage under the left hand side pectoral. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have cracked my ankle.It's been a month and it's still swolen all around my ankel.At first it was hurting a lot and i really needed the vicodine that my doctor has prescribed.It's been a week that the pain is not that bad.I can handle it without any pain killers, but i still go for vicodine and take one.Just one tablet a day.I am 33 years old and was never addicted to anything in my life.I don't drink,i don't smoke.I haven't even seen any kind of drugs.I am worried that i like the way it makes me feel.When i take it , iam much happier,i am more patient with my kids and i can deal with anything.I feel horrible about it.The good news is i have only few left.But is this what addiction feels like?

I take Hydrocodone for back pain. I JUST got my CDL and don't want to lose it. I have researched the heck out of this and have found conflicting answers from the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Association.(FMCSA)
I have a legal prescription, and it doesn't affect me in a bad way. It does help my pain but I am not dizzy or lightheaded at all.
Also, how long does this stay in your system?
Thanks

I have had problems with gout over the years. I have learned that there is a family history of the condition - there have been people on both my mom and dad's side of the family who have had the condition. I'm thinking that I've got a genetic predisposition to gout, I was wondering if it was something that would've come from my mom's side or dad's?

almost everytime i go to play a basketball game (or any strenuous workout) and i dont stretch my shoulder(s) out for 5+ min, they ache and sore...the only way i have figured out to stop them from aching when running is to crack my neck (push to either side and pop it..) is this aching natural?? and is there any other way i can make it stop aching!!!

(no other part of my body does this...its from the side of my neck to the ends of my shoulder)

please help!

I posted the question about my foot injury about 4 days ago, and I have another question relating to the same injury. There was significant bruising that surfaced with the injury. The bruising in two of my toes is almost the same, they're pretty much black, and the bruising near my ankle is black as well, and growing in size. I'm still having localized pain, sometimes more extreme than others at one place on my foot. Is the bruising cause for concern since it is not starting to fade? I go back to the doctor on tuesday for possibly more x-rays. He was concerned that it may be a displaced fracture that wouldn't surface right away. Any feedback?

This morning i woke up earlier then usual and went to take a shower, 5 minutes within the shower my vision began to fade and everything looked like tiny blocks...I had no control over my body and didnt have the energy to stand, I began to sweat and dropped to the floor. I had to lay there and let it pass. It was pretty cold this morning and I just wanted to lay there and cool off I was sweating so much. It took several minutes but it passed. This has happened to me two other times in my life. I will admit I am under a lot of stress and I don't know if it was an anxiety attack. I mentioned this to my doctor and she has ruled out being anemic or diabetic...I went for blood work. What could this be?? I never fully passed out, but felt like it very much....until I layed there and let it pass. I am 29 years old and seem to be in good health for the most part.

It seems like over the past couple months a number of people that I know have had knee problems, and have either had or will be having surgery shortly. Not just in my family, but people I know at work and at church have been having knee problems.

I was wondering if there is a certain time of year when people are more prone to knee injuries. Are knee injuries more common during the winter?

I've bitten my nails as long as I can remember & I really want to stop. I've tried the clear polish that stings you every time you put you fingers in your mouth & that didn't seem to stop me, I don't even realize that I"m doing it until someone tells me to stop. Anything helped to make you quit that I could try? I'm sick of my fingers hurting because I bite them too short.

I got my cartilage pierced over 7 years ago. I only had the piercing for about 2 months and then let it close up. At random times i will develop a white bubble over the pierced area on the INNER part of my ear. When I pop the bubble white puss comes out of it. Is this a bad thing or something I will have to just deal with? There is also a little bump on the pierced area BEHIND my ear, but I assume that is just from the piercing. Does anyone know what is wrong with my ear??
