I have this pain in my right hand from my palm area to my third finger and it's VERY painful!! I had carpal tunnel surgery done on both hands 5 yrs ago, I am right handed so I use it more. I went to my family doctor, he had xrays & an MRI done on my hand, he said it didn't show any swelling, arthritius or anything unusual. He said I might be getting carpal tunnel back! He suggested I wear a brace for carpal tunnel to bed at night, so I do... but it doesn't seem to helping. The pain seems to be worse. I don't remember this kind of pain when I had carpal tunnel, it was mostly numbness, then painful. My question is....is there a specialist that I should go to for my hand or continue wearing the brace & see what happens...it really hurts bad!!

I get a good nights sleep, get up and drive to office (45 min) and by the time i am there I am not fresh any more. My head feels cloudy and I feel lazy. Then I go on to use my computer for the rest of the day and by the time its evening I am completely exhausted. I thought i need a vacation, but a recent 4 week vacation did nothing to improve my condition.
Could it be that i need glases? I never feel that my eyes are weak.
My diet seems to be alright and I do exercise regularly.
I went to the doctor recently and got my self checked up completely. The diagnosis- I am perfect.
Any help to clear up my head?

This morning when I got up from my bed, there was this weird, giving out feeling in my left leg. It has never happened before. It doesn't hurt but it feels like its kind of sharp, and my whole leg goes weak for half a second. Also, this slight sharp pain seems to be comming from my inner leg, maybe even my bone.

If this helps, I'm very active.
5'3''
130 lbs.
play soccer a min. of 2 hours a week.

I didnt do anything out of the ordinary the day before this occured.



Please help?

My right shoulder has been hurting for the past week. I've see my doctor about it before and was given a list of excercises for my rotator cuff. I've since lost the printout, but other than wikipedia is there a good medical site where I can get a list and pictures of the excercises? I'm a beggining body builder so I would like to get my shoulder back to normal as soon as possible.

For a long time now I have had a bubbley feeling all over my body, mostly in my thighs. To describe it better it feels like there may be air bubbles coming and going under my skin, and this happens all over my body, hands, arms, legs, everywhere. It doesn't hurt at all but it's noticeable. I mean it might be like something to do with my muscles. Even though I've never seen it physically move or "pop" like an air bubble that is what it feels like. What could possibly be happening here?

Yesterday I injured my neck and I was wondering if its worth it to go to the ER. I was reaching up above my head and tieing something on a ladder very tight. When I went to tie the knot harder i heard/felt my neck pop. Sine then my neck has gotten so stiff I can BARELY get in/out of bed without grunting and having sharp pains in my neck. The only reason I would go to the ER is for pain medicine because nothing over-the-counter is helping and I cannot remove a hand from my neck without getting sharp pains. I'm sure all they will wanna do is an x-ray or something and tell me 2 go 2 a chiropractor but the pain is unbearable. Any advice???

Is it possible to store sleep?
What I mean is, if I sleep for 10 hours a night for the next 2 months, will that help me at all if I then only get 5 hours a sleep for 2 months after that?
If you have a good night's sleep, how long does that sleep last you for?

From sitting long periods of time, on a plane or in a car, or at work; my tailbone gets so sore and it is painful trying to stand up. Seems like only rest can help so far; but does anyone know how to deal with this?

For some reason, I have been sick a few more times than usual this year. I arrived at work and left early once (which was covered by a doc's note. A few months later, I had two days off for flu/cold symptoms. Then a few months later I had 3 sick days off due to diarhea. The year prior to this, I only had one day off- but that was when I was with another Company. As a comparison, I feel I have had loads of days off. Do you think my Company would have started to become concerned about my attendence?

I have always been serious athlete. I set a # of steroid free deadlift records for my state from 84-90. three years ago I decide I wanted to deadlift over 700 or close before i was too old, am too old.

I have been training hard, and a new drugfree(steroids free) sanctioned organization has current state record for my bobyweight is 551. I have done five reps with that on many occasions in training. I have pulled a 635 x 1- raw(no equiptment) a number of times. That would be close to 700 with equipment, @47.
On Dec 5, 2006 I had a freak fall on ice from a big ice storm, and tore quad away from knee, all of it. Deppresed about the future of it. I am a cripple at the moment. Been taking about 6-8 vicoden a day, cut down to 4 and experincing bad mood swings and horrible deppresion. Vicoden or my complete life change? If it is the vicoden, I am still going to need it for all my rehab.
