well lately ive been getting to sleep at around 2am. this is really annoying because i cant get to sleep any earler, and i have to get up at 9am everyday. So I always end up getting up late, or being tired in the day. Theres no way i can cut the caffeine in my day because i need it for studying. and when i finally do get my sleep pattern back to normal, i end up getting drunk and sleeping in, then i get put back into my current sleeping pattern and have trouble breaking it. anyone have any suggestions that might help?

After wearing a new pair of shoes the other week began to feel a pain at the back of my heel when when walking home from work. I though t the pain was a blister but on closer inspection it seemed i had a red lump sticking out the back of my heel.

This was about 2 weeks ago and the pain still pursists. I have looked this up on the internet and have self diagnosed this as heeel bursitis.

I have tried using padding in my heels and taking Anti-inflammatory's but this has had little effect.

I have no pian when i'm not wearing shoes but as soon as i start walking in any hard backed shoes the pain is excruciating. I can now only wear a piar of soft converse trainers to walk in.

Any advice on how long this will last and what i can do to help recovery?

My husband can not do it on purpose. What happens is his thumbs feel stiff for a second and then he bends them and they crack. After which, all is back to normal. This is especially true of his right thumb. His right thumb is a little shorter then the left one. I was wondering what causes this? Does his right thumb crack more often because it is shorter?

I had an IV last week for a CT scan and the tech managed to go through the vein and dump a fair amount of contrast into my arm. My entire upper arm and upper half of my lower arm swelled to double their size. The pain was horrible when the swelling wasn't making my arm numb. The area above the IV insertion point blistered and weeped for two days after the CT and now look like there will be scars. My arm feels bruised and tired/sore, but looks relatively normal. Is this normal? How long am I going to be sore? Is there anything I can do to help minimize the scarring (a friend said there wasn't much to do since the scarring is from the inside, from the contrast pushing through from deep in my arm)?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated...

So this is kinda wierd....For some reason when I go running, my two toes that are beside by big toe always get blisters on them. One week I ran extra (every day), and I must have put too much pressure on the toenails, because they died and fell out by themselves. Well one grew back just like it was before, but the other one grew back all wierd. It grew back all thick and bumby. It didnt grow back all straight and normal, it grew up (if that makes sense). Well it has probably been like 8-10 months, and I have waited to see if it would fix itself, but it hasn't. So, the other night I pulled it out, hoping that it would grow back normally like the other. Now I am afraid that it won't grow back at all. Any advice?

My roommate just sharpened up his skates and to play some hockey for the first time in many years. He went to the park just to skate around but there were already people there and asked him to play a game with them. He did and had fun but said he was extremely tired afterward and said he felt like he could barely drive and and almost had to throw up. All of that soon went away and the next day he went back and had the ice to himself. he said he did some sprints and felt fine but just winding like he just got done running. He said he felt that way all day. The next day he woke up and said it felt like someone kicked him in the chest and that feeling lasted all day. He seems normal and still went to work at an office but just has chest pain. He says he is going to go to a doctor if it's not better tomorrow but knowing him I doubt he will unless he can't breath. He is 23 and in pretty good shape I would say. He used to bike 25-40 miles every other day in the summer.

My daughter has hypermobility disorder, which means her joints partially dislocate. She's been given a handicap sticker by her Doctor. She's in severe pain much of the time and even walking/stair climbing puts her in excruciating pain. But at 18 years old, she hasn't worked enough to apply for disability with the social security office. Also, if you're disabled, how are you supposed to work in order to receive benefits? Is there any way she can apply? Are there any exceptions?

It happened a few times to me.. When riding regular stance hitting a jump and casing it.. my right foot(rear foot) seemed to overcompress my ankle, it hurt like a mother for a while... and the pain subsided, I tightened my boots and bindings as much as possible. to give it support. I've been reading about the bones there, I think it could be the talur or some type of flexor..I'm having sporadic pain with certain range of movements such as crouching as a baseball catcher could cause acute pain enough to make me loose balance, Other than that I'm still completely active..I'd like to heal this soon..Thanks in advance for any help.?

My aging mother suffers from several "diagnosed" problems including arthritis, spondolosis, and 2 (repaired) compression fractures in her lower back in the last 6 years. Having exhausted all conventional treatment, we have seen a Pain Management specialist who recommends "Prolotherapy". I understand the concept behind it. I'm just not sure it's worth the pain and price she will have to endure since it isn't covered by insurance. If you have had this treatment, I'd love to hear whether it helped or not.
