I get enough sleep, probably 9 hours a night during the week, and as many as 13 a night on the weekend...but why am I still tired? It's interfering with my social life and school, because i'm always sleepy. I'm 16 years old. I'm not on any meds that might make me drowsy. Can someone help me or give me a reason for this?

Iv stretched a lot and ate bananas but r there any other ways that will help out my quads and help them feel better by Friday?

which one works better? is there any research that proves one to have an advantage over the other? lets say for a headache or muscle pain. supposedly tylenol is better for your stomach?

I strained a muscle beneath my right shoulder blade and over my right rib cage, maybe its two separate muscles. I always feel like I have to cough up flem. Its really painful, I usually have to grab onto something when I cough. Am I reinjuring my strained muscles by doing this? I have had to sleep or at least try to sleep sitting up for the last 3 nights. Its too painful to lay down and get back up.Also I usually feel like I have to cough when I lay down.I can't be still and cough. I got injured 6 days ago. Anyone know anything about this. I've read lots on strained muscles, but no mention of this coughing matter. Please answer if you do. Thanks.

I take immodium 3 x's a day every day by prescription, and it usually helps, but I'm having a bad day today, everytime I eat, I'm at the bathroom within an hour, any ideas?
Wish I could go out like other people without worrying where the closest bathroom is.

I just had my first track practice on Monday. I had been running 20 minutes a day 4 times a week for the 2 months leading up to track. The first day of practice we did a fairly easy run and then I went home and, like an idiot, did leg exercises with weight.
I developed pain in my calf later that night. I am guessing it is over use but I don’t know if it is a stain or something serious. The pain continued and still hurts today (Wednesday night). I did track practice yesterday, and today I told my couch I was in pain after our jogging warm up and she told me to do the stationary bike to take a break from running. The pain is in the back of my calf about 2 inches from the ankle. It feels like it is under my Achilles tendon. I have a sharp pain in a small area that hurts when I relax from a calf stretch, go up and down stairs, and run. Yesterday it hurt to walk a bit, but not today and it does NOT hurt when I go up on my toes.

I iced and rested my calf last night and then again when I got home today. I do not want to mess up my track season. Any advice on when I can start running again, or has anyone experienced this before?

Friday night I had the radio on and was dancing a little. It wasn't strenuous dancing, kind of like the dance you'd do at prom or at a club. Then it felt like a lead ball hit my leg. My leg has been hurting since and I can't straighten it. I've been limping since this started. The pain when I keep it still has gone down a great deal but not the pain when I try to straighten it. Whenever i try to it feels like my muscle is going to be pulled out. The pain started on the calf area. Now when I try to straighten it my ankle also hurts. On Tuesday night I found unexplainable bruises on my ankle and on my calf area. It's more like purple and black patches. They don't hurt if I press on them. Does anyone have an explaination what might be wrong with my leg? I can't see the doctor until Friday.

Have has a stiff and tense neck for over two months now. How do I release the tension and stiffness in my neck? Sometimes it feels completely exhausted. I have had X-Rays done to make sure it is not spinal but have not done an MRI for a pinched nerve. There is no real pain. Just a feeling of tightness and sometimes a deep ache feeling like my neck muscles are completely exhausted.
