I get anxious and stuff but I usually dont get stomach aches when I am, usually other things but I feel this dull pain and it feels like a knot in my stomach. Anyone know what takes away this kind of ache?

I had what the doctor called mild arthritis in my back, hips, knees, and hands.
A year ago, I hurt my back. I thought that it was a pulled muscule. It did not get better. I had bad sciatic pain down my left side. My knee will swell up, and I could not wiggle my toes, if I stood for more than 10 minutes. I had trouble walking. After nine months I was told that I had Spondylolisthesis, and "a bit more than mild arthritis". I was told to do what exercise that I could. Pain pills when I need them. Not to stand for very long or to walk far.
I am having to deal with a HMO. I am 46 yrs old.
I am not getting straight answers. I can not work. I can not stay in one position - sitting, laying, anything for very long without pain. It's hard to fix dinner, clean my home, get around even with a cane. I cannot drive and be on pain pills, I cannot be in a car long without them.
Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do? Will this get better, stay the same or worse with time?

3 nights ago I went to bed, I thought I felt something crawling on my foot but when I took the covers off I did not see anything. I went to bed and about 2 hours later I woke up to extreme itching on the outside of both of my feet.... there are two red bumps that have swollen up a bit and the scary thing is that the puncture wounds are in the exact same spot on both of my feet ... first, was this a spider and second, HOW DO I GET IT TO STOP ITCHING?!?! ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

i have an ear infection and am on antibiotics and i have an incredible amount of pain in my left ear. Like i said i am on antibiotics and also taking a decongestant to try and relieve some of the pressure. I tried putting a hot water bottle on it to relieve some of the pain but it seems to make it worse. Any suggestions?

25 male had a reoccurence of disc prolapse in L4-5. I tried taking tarction (intermittent - 50 lbs weight) but it did not help rather seemed to be aggrevating so I stopped it. I am reluctant to try epidural injections, can some one pls let me know if they have tried spinal decompression, can it have any negative impact ?

The commercial starts with everybody falling off the world. The camera zooms out and it shows a man holding the world on his shoulders. He is in pain and gets a pain reliever from someone one on the world. What pain reliever is that promoting?

Got an appointment at the doctors in morning, i've decided that i drink too much, and i mean too much. but before you shout ALCOHOLIC at the screen, let me try to give the reasons why.
I have a well stressfull job working 14-16 hours a day, i get phonecalls on my days off from work.
When i get home i cant get tired, and if i drink several cans of beer i find its the quickest way to want to go to sleep.
If i dont have a drink i find myself stiil wide awake at 6 in the morning. If im lucky enough to feel tired without having a drink, i will go to bed but toss and turn all night without going to sleep and then i will start to sweat. Do you think the doc will be able to help me ?

Thanks.

I had my tonils removed and I was supposed to get my nasal bone straightened, and when I woke up the doctor did a little nose job, that was mentioned before the surgery, he said to help me breath better,but I dont like the look and I still breath the same.
Can I get my old nose back?

i fell while going down the stairs to my backyard (just two steps) my left elbow landed on the border of the top step, while my lower back hit the border of the lower step. Felt a tingling sensation from the elbow to the lower right side of the palm of my hand and after a couple of minutes there was a bump on this same spot on my hand which is tender and makes my elbow hurt when touched, and it hurts the other way around when I touch my elbow. Just curious what could have caused this bump on the palm of my hand. Did I hurt a nerve? a muscle? Elbow is still sore and hurts some. Cant really manage to grab and hold things on my left hand since it starts shaking and can't really control the strength of the grip... any diagrams or idea of what could have happened here? (I'm on my way to the Dr now.... but I appreciate any comments on the matter)
