Hi
Woke up this morning and felt completly fine. However, as soon as i began walking to school, i started to get this pain in my chest, right over my heart. I've felt it before, but until now it's come and gone within seconds, the sort of thing you ignore. I found that sitting down seems to help, and exercising makes it alot worse. The main cause is simply breathing in, finding that if i hold my breath, the pain stops. The only way i can describe it is the sort of pain you feel if you've fallen asleep in an weird position. This was my first thought, but as the pain has now travelled up to my neck, (and at one point down my back) i'm starting to think this might be something else. I'm only 15 and i'm reasonably fit, so i'm hoping it has nothing to do with my heart. I also hear that anything on that side of things would usually produce a tight feeling, rather than an actually pain. Obviously, my first reaction is to see a doctor. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?!

He ate from a spoon from September 2005 - January 2006 but suddently stopped (When he started eating from the spoon, he would only allow me to feed him but he gradually allowed his father to feed him also. Once I started attending school again (worked 8hrs then went to school), my grandmother was the only person feeding him and he stopped eating). He displays signs of autism but has not yet been diagnosed with a specific type of Autism, but his pediatrician suspects it's mild. He also does not speak (only says ma ma and da da) but he loves to watch jeorpady & wheel of fortune and hums the music. He knows all of the motions to children's songs and counts on his fingers. He's very smart but I am extremely worried. We've seen several Occupational Therapist but no one can get him to eat. Please help

after a car accident I had 4 herniated discs. I suffer severe headaches on the temperal lobes and at the occipital ridge. Neck has limited rom with pain/pinching after repeated movements. occassionally i experience pain/numbness/tingling/weakness in the left arm that radiates to the thumb and index finger. The area between the shoulder blades feels like buring pain and sometimes causes spasms of the Lats. I am exhausted can't sleep in any position without taking prescription meds and the next day feel unclear, groggy, easily irritated. I can't do what I have in the past and I can't rely on others to do things for me, its frustrating.Have you hade similar problems? What do you do to treat this without medications?I'm tired of being in pain every hour of every day. I need some long term relief.please.

Okay, so Yahoo saw fit to delete this question for no discernable reason. Whatever. I'll try to make it more to-the-point this time.

About eight months ago, I smashed my clitoris on a tow-hook on the back of a jet ski. At the time, it was extremely painful, bled for a few days, and continued to ache for about two weeks after that.

Unfortunately, it is still causing me grief. It is almost always sore, and touching it at all is usually painful. Stimulation hurts quite a bit and will typically ache something fierce afterwards. Arousal isn't particularly pleasant, either.

Could have the initial damage have been bad enough to cause this sort of pain? Could it have been continued stimulation after the injury? What exactly could I do to fix this? I'm not even sure what sort of doctor to see on that this matter. Any help at all is appreciated.

My symptoms are 3/16/2007

I have shooting pain down both forearms down my Ulnar nerve.
I have stabbing /cramping pains down both of my fore arms.
The pain was execration, but now has defused and dissipated.
However it is still very painful.
Also I have pain in my elbows both on the interior and exterior side.
The tennis elbow is more intense when I pick up, twist, or turn an object.
Oddly I have intense pain down my arms when I sneeze or I have a shiver.
I have pain in my medial carpals in my wrist.
The pain migrates from four to five places in my wrists.
I have painful sensation changes in the 4th and 5th fingers.
I wake up many nights with pain in my hands and in a claw formation.
I have tingling burning sensations, weakness in my hands and arms.
I have trouble with my grip, pinching, grasp, twisting, of my hands
and arms. I am losing mobility in my arms that makes me drop objects more often. I am experiencing partial paralysis and loss of movement in my hands and wrists. I am experiencing a numbness and tingling on the top surface of my thumbs. I still have extreme pain at the base of both thumbs. Which is a sign of atrophy of the muscular bulge in an advanced or chronic stage, I am been told. I am experiencing that I cannot move my hands and arms with the same speed as just a few months ago and is continually getting worse. Also the pain is increasing with less exertion. I am experiencing pain from a nerve that rolls over my shoulders then to the underside of my arm between my biceps and triceps. Then runs down the length of my arm about two inches apart.
I am also catching myself from dizzy spills or vertigo. I thought it was from my pain medication so I didn’t put it together. Since its been over a year without pain medication and I still have dizzy spills. Is this a symptom too?

I have been taking Lortab for about 3 months now for my TMJ problem. My doctor gave me 7.5/500 which I have been abusing I admit. I take anywhere from 7-12 a day. I have a drug test in 5 days for a new job. If i have a prescription for them and stop taking them today until after the drug test, will I pass it. I know taking them as directed I would be fine with a prescription, but as I've sated I've taken more than prescribed. Will that show up even if i didn't stop taking them? Can they tell how many i've taken, and if i stopped today, will they even show up at all? By the way, I weigh 241lbs. 6ft tall and am a male, 25 yrs. old. If I am at risk for failing is there anything I can do to speed up the half life and get it out of my system in 4 1/2 to 5 days or at least enough to pass the test? Thank you soo much in advance!!! ALSO would there be a difference if it was a blood or a urine test, because i'm not sure which it is but do know it's not a hair test.

Hi!
My entire life I have always hated my nose and someday wanted to get a nose job. Well a month ago I had an accident and found out I now have a deviated septum that needs fixing. So I'm thinking...hmm maybe this is my blessing in disguise and my solution. Has anyone had this and then fixed? Was your nose reshaped? Did it look different and look better? Or am I hoping for to much? Thanks for your time and help!! :)

Am I having the carpal tunnel syndrome?
What can I do? Im the only caretaker of my baby. Aside from my husband but he works.

A person in my family suffered a coma after falling down concrete stairs, she has been in it for about 5 days now and is only expected to be in it for a total of 10 days. She was placed into it to have her brain stop swelling. The doctors say she is out of the critical time and she is doing better then before. But when she gets out of it what are the risks? Will she suffer permanet brain damage or what. Please explain...thank you for all who answer.

The surgery was suppose to be a hernia repair, and an overy removal. I woke to a cut from sternum to pubic bone. I asked why, and his reply was "you should be happy you gone a tummy tuck for free" I would have never got a tummy tuck because of to many medical probs. And 5 surgerys later I am still having problems
