I have always wondered what people would like to see as far as topics on health related issues. What questions would you like to see asked and answered? Anything like skin health all the way to financial.

I am a recovering Speed Adict. I have been clean for almost four years now. I still get the odd cravings, but have been able to resist. How do others find recovery?

Every few days, I get this... "spiralling" numb pain on the left side of my back, just around my shoulder blade. It feels like someone is taking their hand and digging their fingernails into my back in a circular pattern, and it also feels like pins and needles.

Today, at work, it started doing that, and it started hurting a lot. Then, I started sweating and I felt really hot, and the pain got so bad that my vision started going a bit blurry and I couldn't focus on what I was doing. It started feeling like there was something wrapped around my body, pushing on my chest from all directions, and restricting my ability to breathe. I tried to ignore it and concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing, and it went away after about twenty minutes, although the pain in my back keeps coming back.

What is wrong with me?

How serious do u think it is? Well, it all started out 4 years ago when me and my brother were jumping off of swings. Yeah I know pretty dumb. But I did it and landed on the side of my foot and colapsed. Well, I couldn't walk on it for like ...3 months. In total it hurt for 1 year non stop. Now it hurts on and off but now it really hurts.I was in a different country and/or contenent and didn't go to the doctor. Pretty dumb also. Well, after that it hurt whenever I just hurt it alittle it would hurt a lot. I'm going to the doctor but I have 2 wait for my mom to get back from a trip. What does it sound like 2 u? I also heard a crack when I landed. Does that mean I broke it? Is it possible that I broke it and it didn't grow back correctly? Do u think it is serious? Im only 12 FYI. What will they do to me? What are the procedures for this problem? Any Websites? I know im going to the doctor soon but what do u think they will do?

Hey,
I have had a pain developing under my right ankle over the last couple of days it has spread over to my right ankle. If I push on the soft area below my ancle with my hand it is very sore. It is sore when ever there is preassure on my foot but it is the worst when I am walking/running it also hurts alot if I go up on my toes or the front of my foot. Does anyone know of what this could be? Should I let it rest or would I be okay to go to hockey in a few hours?
Thank you very much,
Brett

I know they can do it in the States I've seen enough people talk about it on TV but I'm curious to know if you can do it in Canada. If so, how is it done? And no, I'm not a junkie, just curious on how this would work

went to the er and they said I chipped my hip. MRI revealed buldging disks from L2-S1, radial tear L5-S1 and possible pinched nerve. Have tried epidural, cortisone injections, therapy, acupuncture, chiro. No true relief from anything and surgeons said they would not touch my back. Doc now wants me to try SI Injection.... ANY ONE HAD ONE? ANY RELIEF?

Friday night I noticed a knot on my inner forearm in between my wrist and my elbow. It did not have any color and it was only a little sore if you touched it. The area around the knot slowly started bruising. Today, Sunday, the bruise is about 2 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. The knot is still there but I do not think that it has changed sizes. I am wondering if I could have a knot in the vein in my arm that runs up from my wrist?
