When I bend my knees they crack. People can hear it. It sounds gross. I have try glucosamine, but I noticed my knuckles started to look bruised. So I got concerned it was acting as a blood thinner.

Do you think I should see a sports physiologist? They don't hurt. Btw I work out a lot.

I suffered a head injury during a football training session 5 days ago. I got knocked to the ground and landed pretty heavily on the back on my head. I was pretty dizzy but I could still stand up. However I couldn't remember the fall exactly (brief blackout perhaps). It's been 5 days now and I still get some headaches when I forcefully shake my head. Should I be worried?

Sometimes I do because you wouldn't experience problems like carpal tunnel syndrome.

Sometimes I feel otherwise because you need muscles to move.

I suffer with severe leg cramps, especially upon awakening. I need to find some relief because I am afraid to go to sleep for the last four days. They are like super charlie horses that last for ever it seems.I scream and cry like a baby, it's really embarrassing, but I have a great family who tries to help me with massages.

I've been having on-and-off chest pain for about two years. I'm currently 18. When I first started having them, I went to the ER a couple times, but apparently chest pain in minors insn't taken so seriously, so I was sent home with tylenol or antacids. Saw a cardiologist, GI doc, GP. Had an EKG, stress test. Everyone told me it was probably anxiety.

So, it comes and goes, and recently it's coming again, and it's quite uncomfortable. Just sharp, to the slight left of my breastbone, fairly often, with no correlation to any habits (eating, exercise, laying down). I don't know what to do. It isn't so much the pain that bothers me (I'm used to it), but whatever it could signify.

Has anyone had any similar experiences?

It's been 4 weeks since I had ORIF (open reduction internal fixation) on my ankle. I am still not putting weight on it and still have a cast, my question is, I still have swelling off and on, sometimes when my leg gets warm it tends to swell and make the cast tight, or when the leg is hanging down, which I don't do very much, but even if I am sitting and my leg is elevated at times it swells. I don't believe it is inflammation that is causing this. The ankle is sore, feels more like a bruised feeling, and that is off and on as well. Any suggestions as to why my leg is swelling? I am headed to the doctor tomorrow but still feel pain, I thought maybe she would xray it and possibly put a boot on and remove the cast, but I don't want to injure it again. Any suggestions or answers. Thanks.

This is new for me. I am 35.
About 2-3 weeks ago I threw my right leg up on the counter to reach something in a cabinet, (like I've done a million times before)
Yes, I know I should have used a chair or stool...
Anyway, the joint inside of my hip popped. It has not been the same since then. Its not a constant unbearable pain, but it sure is uncomfortable when I move my leg a certain way now.Like getting in and out of the car. I can no longer sit indian style. Or many other ways now...
It has brought tears to my eyes a couple of times. (only when I move it a certain way) But then eases up.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Should give it a little longer to get better?
I just wonder if it could be more serious than I realize?
