I woke up yesterday and it felt fine, but the more I walked on it the worse it got. The pain is centralized on my knee(almost feels like behind the knee now). I originally thought it would get better after I slept, but when I woke up today I can feel pain even when I'm not moving it. It kinda feels like it's sore, but waaay more intense. what can it be?

I have tried everything available in the UK to try and help, but it seems nothing works. If I don't slather on Vaseline every ten minutes my lips get so dry they bleed if I talk (as a receptionist/telephonist I have to talk!!) Does anyone have any secret remedies they would care to share? My lips have been so dry that I have been unable to wear lipstick for over a year now.

They want to move us (four people) to a smaller room with no windows. I am worried about the heat the pc's (four) give off. Not to mention the germs that can't escape. The room measures 16 feet by 10 feet.
p.s I work in the NHS!!

I tried to sleep but I have a nerve pain extending from my lower back all down the backside of my thighs, legs, and around my ankles...it's the worst feeling in the world. I know its not a muscle pain because I haven't been working out. It's a nerve pain. I have been sleeping for longer than usual lately...and have had a pretty lethargic schedual this week...not much moving around. I just know that I can't go back to sleep because the pain is SO sharp!! What could this be?

For about a year or more now, I'm unable to actually make vigorous moments with my left arm because of the pain I incur when doing so. Some times i feel as if my arm is detachiing from my shoulder join, and some times I feel as if the the bones are touching each other. In fact , as result to the pain I incur when shaking my left arm, gives me the feeling that my arm is not stable in my shoulder boin. I don't really know what caused it because I can't remember any accident i had. I some times lift weights but now I am unable to do it. Please this is the best discribtion I can give. If there is any body out there to help please don't hesitate to do t so. Your advice or therapy shall be of great help and appreciation.Thanks

I was just laying there watching t.v. and my chest got numb. mostly in my neck right on the clavical (SPELLING?) then the chin, then my checks, and I have felt pain in the middle of each limb like on the back of the calf for weeks.
Pinched nerve maybe?
or something worse? I do have a physical job on ladders and stuff. I paint murals.

Does this surgery cause any restrictions in vigorous physical activities later. How long it will take to rectify it?

He doesnt recall injuring himself at any time. The pain is there all the time but gets worse when he stands up. Every now and again his leg gives way on him when he is walking. I thought it may be growing pains at first, but now I am not convinced.

I've tried the patches, cold turkey etc. but nothing has worked for me. I get mean when I don't smoke and it's all I think about until I get my next drag. I want to quit; I just don't want to feel like putting my hand through a window when I don't get my fix. What is a good way to quit smoking?

Well, i was riding on my pit bike and i fell off into a pile of rocks i was going about 80kmph, wearing a pair of shorts and i cut all my legs up badly.. anyway i was lying there with the bike on top of me with the exhaust pipe at about 150degrees it was burning my leg.. but cause of the adrenaline i didnt really feel it.. anyway about 2 months later after infections in the burn and this and that it looks as though it has healed. it feels really wierd but when my friend or even i poke something into it like a pen or something else these bubbles appear on it. and when i burst them water comes out so im assuming they are blisters. How long till this stops its really annoying and they hurt :(

My husbands snoring really is ruining our marriage. i am not getting sleep in fact i am getting physically ill from not getting enough rest. I know there is a procedure that docs can do where they put the little plastic things in the throat to hold the flap up that makes all the noise but insurance will not cover it and he is too cheap to pay the $3000 or even make payments on it. (we can afford it) Anything else you know of that helps? Even a combo of things....anything would help! I cannot wear earplugs either cause I have tinnitus and need to be able to hear my fan to drown out the ringing on my ears and the one time i did try ear plugs I could still hear him. Yes, he really is that loud!

What are some opinions on medical marijuana? I think it should be legalized AT LEAST for medical reasons, if not for recreational use and industrial use. What do you have to say about it?

About three months ago I have had a severe dull ache in my upper right thigh that didn't go away. It eventually went away but had mild pain still. It is off and on. Then I had another episode of a dull ache and now it hurts all the time on the inner side of my right leg near the knee. And I can't put much pressure on top of my thigh (like resting my saxophone on my leg.) and still aches. I just recently went to a physical therapist and she did light therapy and gave me a few exercises to do with two more sessions next week. But each time I exercise it hurts. The only medicine working so far is taking 5 or 6 200mg of Advil. The therapist is not sure of what is wrong but she says my muscles somehow got out of wack. Can someone help me - I don't think this is the case.
