Is it possible to strain your foot? I'm curious because the bottom of my foot is real sore. I played hoops a few days ago, but don't remember injuring anything. I can barely put weight on it, making it tough to walk. This is the 2nd time this has happened.

I am a 14 year old female and I have really bad knees! Unfortunatly for me bad knees run in my family and i happened to be the only one out of my mom's 4 kids to get bad knees. My knees dislocate all of the time and they dont go back in themselves, so i have to pop them in myself. They pop out at least once a day, if not more. I dont know what to do to make them not pop out so I was wandering if there was anything you all could think of to make it so either they dont pop out or they dont pop out as much as they do now. Is there anything that you can think of to help me out here?

Alright so for the past couple of days I've been extremely tired, I haven't wanted to move because it takes way too much energy. I also haven't been hungry, and on top of that I've had headaches and sore muscles and a sore throat.

I had a sinus infection about a month ago and this is completely different than that.

Is it mono? What should I do?

I've been having leg cramps at night usually when I'm asleep. I understand it can be a normal thing but it isn't the ones where your leg cramps up and toes crunches together, mine is actually very painful. While I'm tossing in bed, I can feel it coming when I stretch or bend, and I have to wake my bf up to tug on it for about a minute and massage the calf at the same time. Last night he did that and right when he stopped it came back again immediately and he had to do it all over again just longer. I've tried straightening it out but that doesn't help at all and I'm at the point where I do want to cry out ( and I can stand pain) but this is just so terrible, its hard to explain. And my calf is sore for about 2-3days after. What can it be?

I'm a runner. I've never had this problem before. But when I lift my right leg where the leg attatches (near the groin area) I get sharp horrible pain and it will last until I move my leg back. I hope this made sense but I'm hoping a person who knows a lot about sports medicine will answer this and follow me up. Don't be afraid to e-mail me.

I should be out of the walking boot in a couple of weeks. What is the best shoe to wear to aid in better walking and better recovery? I was told new balance has great cross-trainers and also that sandals help strengthen the foot. What do you all think?

Just a few minutes ago my son was stung by a wasp. It was rather big in size and I killed it and saved it just in case I have to take him to the hospital or the dr. He seems to be doing fine and only have the usual reaction of swelling in the area he was stung in.

I was wondering what are the warning signs of an allergic reation to stings? If he was going to have one would he have had one already by now. It has been over 10minutes and I am watching him very closely but the only problem that he seems to have is discomfort from swelling. He is currently playing as he usually does and doesn't seem to be showing signs of any allgeric reaction.

Is there any way to help the swelling in his hand go down? He is a 2 year old so ice packs and cool wraps are out of the question. Is there any sort of balm or whatever to put on it to make the swelling go down?

\lthough it has gone away know last week while skiing i had some shoulder pain. I first hurt my shoulder in the summer when i capsized my kayak and had to wrench myself up with it. Secondly late last year in badminton i did an over hand shot and it clicked and ground. I couldnt stretch it behind my back. Recentley im not sure what i did to it but while ski ing it hurt to push with my poles and it was painful to pull myself up onto my bunk. The pain is totally gone at the moment so i do not need or want advice on medicine or treatment.

What i want to know is what was wrong with my shoulder these times?

Was it the ligermants or muscles?

Are the injuries related and will it reioccure?

Thankyou!

p.s. i am 14 years old and quite sporty (i am not deohydrated)

Last night I woke up with a horrible pain in my actual stomach. I thought it was gas but it was so painful. When I got up to use the restroom my face got flushed, pale, cold, but then I broke out in hot sweat and fever. I wanted to pass out. Since then the pain has moved around my belly button towards the right side and if I press on it, it is painful. The pain isn't unbearable as of now, but if it possibly an appedictis does it happen over a period of a few days or within hours?

For the next 3 months I'll have to work around the clock and there's no way to go around it. Because I started to sleep a bit less and are in a big tension almost daily I started to feeling nauseated a lot of the times! Do you have any suggestion to attenuate these feelings of nausea and get a more balanced 3 months and don't get exhausted in a near future?
I was thinking that if a had some balanced wealthy diet or some gym classes would that help me out the next 3 months?
I need suggestions from someone who knows more about this.
Leaving my job is not an option. I really need help :)
