It's muscular, not skeletal. I already iced it. I can barely bend. I don't have any muscle relaxers. Would drinking rum help? Oh, man, I don't have anything to use as a mixer. I am home alone. Should I alternate heat with cold?
Mostly I'm asking if the rum would help loosen my back up.

I moved to another city and searched for jobs in January and February. Finally I got a stockroom job at a shoe store, and it's similar to my previous occupation because I'm walking around the jobsite, climbing a ladder to put stuff up. Additionally I have a 23 minute drive to the jobsite.

The very bottom of right foot aches the most, then the metatarsals started aching when I woke up this morning, and ever since the first day the front part of my thighs ache like crazy because I am using those muscles to climb up ladders for 4 hours.

I like the responses I read from Yahoo Answers and I will do the following for my feet: Elevation, rest, and warm/cold water baths with (epsom?) salt.

But what can I do to heal my thighs? Hot water packs? Cold water packs? Or regular aspirin?

I think part of the reason why this happened is because it's been a while since I've done anything physical.

Thanks!

Okay, so last summer I had surgery on my leg, and now every once in a while since then I have had days where my leg hurts or is sore, and I took the Oxycodone tablets to help stop the pain, and it worked. Now I am running low on them, and I will need to get some more, since I have these days of pain "twinges" in my legs.

Will this work to get more?

I tried taking it out using water, but it ended up moving to a non-visible part of my eye, maybe near the back? Should I see a doctor? I'm extremely worried I might slowly lose my vision with my hair still there.

Every night before I go to sleep I lay on my stomach with my head to the side. I've been wondering is it healthy because I sometimes have to "rotate" my head because my neck is tense. I also sleep with a tough pillow-it's heavy and I've had it ever since I was a toddler. I'm turning 14 on April 6.

I've recently discovered just how awesome Goody's powder is and as a result bought some in bulk. I don't like the idea of trying it before I try regular pills when I have a headache because I'm afraid I'll build up an tolerance to it. From what I've looked up online, it doesn't seem like a biggie to use Goody's as long as you don't take it every single day, but I'd like to get some input from other people who use it on a regular basis. Thanks for any help!

I've been to the doctor, but I'm looking for other opinion before I go back.
It all began this past Thursday when I just felt worn out. Friday it got worse so I spent the majority of the day in bed. As the day progress a sore throat began to materialize which was preventing me from sleeping it was so sore. Felt what I imagine swallowing shards of glass would be like. Went to the pharmacy to some Ibuprofen which helped me through the night. I decided to go to the doctor saturday morning. He took a quick look at me and gave me a script for penecilin. My throat is no any better after taking the penecilin for a full day and I've now got white/yellowish patches and a few little red nodes all over the back of my throat.

What ever this is I think that it is working its way up my eustacian tubes an into my ears. Can anyone confirm if this is just a bad case of strep, or something. And what can I do for the pain. I'm already on Tylenol, Advil, Penecilin, pills for sleep
