okay so i have shin splints but im afraid that they might be something more serious, like a stress fracutre.

i started spring track like a month ago, and a couple days into it, i would have pain in my shins (but not severe pain)

BUT NOW.... the pain is so severe that i can hardly walk.
the pain is severe at the beginning of a run, but then moderate in the middle and then even more severe at the end.....

HELPPPPPPP idk what to do
ive been going to my school trainer and getting my shins taped everyday but they have only gotten worse. ive also been icing and heating them but nothing seems to help
he says i should stop track all together BUT i dont want to...
**PLEASE HELP (that would be much appreciated)**

I recently had an extensive MRI done, after which I developed a severe migrane type headache sobad I am vomiting. Is this anything to be concerned about? Does an MRI cause such things to happen? Thanks!

A couple of months ago I started getting charlie horses in my foot every couple of days. In the past week or so it has increased to several times a day. It is sooooo painful and I don't know how to stop them. I think it's probably really dangerous too when my right foot cramps up while I'm driving.. anyone else have them and know what causes them/what you do to stop them?? thanks ahead of time =)

Does it have to do with the blood?
Does it mean that when somebody who always feels cold has thinner and weaker blood?
Or why?

Does anybody have this problem? The pain can get pretty bad, and sometimes I can't walk.

Is it ok to take cold medicine PM once a while if you cant fall asleep?

Last night i couldnt sleep, i stared at my ceiling for 40 minutes straight and having stressful thoughts and not tired at all. So i took a CVS Cold Relief Night Time and i passed out.

Obviously i know that this could lead to addiction or damage my system. But i was sad :[ and wanted to fall asleep.

Im not like 50 or anything. Im a Senior in HS 17yr guy 5`8 160pds (jacked lol!). I just got rejected to prom. meh. :/

I have recently moved in with a friend and the mattress I've been sleeping on is foam. It was originally comfortable, but now after several weeks I have been waking up with lower back pain. This resolves quite quickly, but I don't want it to get worse. I have also noticed that it is very indented where I have slept. This can't be good when I change positions during the night can it? I am also a very restless sleeper. What do you suggest in regards to this or an appropriate mattress? I don't want anyone trying to sell me any fancy mattresses as I can't afford this, just want advice! Also, I am only in my late 20's and a slightly overweight - but not obese. Thanks in advance!!

I can not go to sleep at night time. I wake up every morning at 6:40. I am exhausted and grumpy, but at night time I feel like I am not tired at all and I can't even force my self to get in bed before 11:45, I feel like I should be doing something. I think seeing a doctor would be taking it to an extreme.

would a torn ligament show up on an xray? I saw my dr. last week for pain in my right arm around the bicep and tricep. She thinks it's a torn ligament. She ordered an xray and it came back normal. I'm suppose to start physical therapy at an athletic club but they haven't called me yet to set up an app.

Okay smoking is bad for you, we all know that. But then again eating high sugar and fatty foods are as well. Laying out in the sun is bad, tanning is bad, eating to much fish, not getting enough sleep, to much sleep, everything is bad for you it seems. But my question is this....................why don't we tax EVERYTHING bad for you like we tax smokers? Would you pay 14.00 for a cheesburger? That's the same rate as taxes on cigarettes. Heart diseas is the #1 killer in the USA and eating wrong is just as much to blame as smoking. Does that make taxes on one certain thing right?

My back hurts, i think due to improper posture (slouching, etc.) It's my lower back and it especially hurts after i wake up. There isnt a lot of pain, but it feels weird. What should I do

between 95 and 110 BPM for the last 10 years, now lately it has gone up to a 125 average, during a resting state, her husband is freaking out saying it's too high, is it so high we should all be concerned for her? Is she at risk for a heart attack or other problems? If so what can we do to lower it naturally, as in no drugs?
