I twisted my knee a few years ago but its been fine for ages. I started exercising on an exercise bike and treadmill a few months ago and my knee has started getting really stiff and painful. Is there anything I can do to help this or are there any vitamins for joints I could take, or exercise which wouldn't put strain on my knee?

I woke up at three-thirty am, EST, due to the need to relieve my bladder. I did so with no problem {and still can}. I thought the 'cramp' that was occurring would fade, but it hasn't.

It's occurring very near to my groin on the left side, and my urethra tingles with the spasms. The pain feels like an incredibly pulled muscle or a full bladder that abruptly went to empty. It occurs in cycles; it's usually tolerable, but it will become worse rhythmically. The left side feels slightly harder to touch, but that could be my imagination. I don't seem to be running a fever.

I would really appreciate any help given shortly.

And my bowls have been open all day, and as I went to go for a run I had to come back in side quickly as when I went to to the toilet I had diarea, and had it again 2 minutes ago too. So does eating All Bran cause this? Any advice will do. I may have to cut back on the All bran becasue I do not want to be at a shopping centre and then run to find the closest toilet. Got any sugestions?

I was feeling perfectly fine and great on a beautiful day. I had just picked my friend up, and as I was backing out of the driveway after I reached my arm to reverse I got this sudden horrible chest pain in the middle of my chest. There was no radiating arm pain - not like a heart attack. But I couldn't move or move my right arm up or my chest would be sore and feel like it was caving in. I took advil and xanax, then was able to get out of my car and walk aroudn the neighborhood and it went away. It was scary.. any ideas on what the heck that was?

I never know if a pair of sneakers is going to give me blisters until I walk a mile in them, so I have to buy them first. I love to walk, but I can't seem to find a pair that doesn't give me blisters after a while. One pair blisters my heeel, another pair blisters the ball of my foot.. How do you avoid this problem?

He was injuired 6 years ago. The company refuses to pay for any additional medical treatment for his back stating his condition is not a bad as his doctor says it is. His lawyer withdrew from the case 2 years ago. But due to it being so far in the process no other lawyers will take the case. Now the workers compensation states that this matter can no longer be handled by them. So the company is trying to still present an offer for other injuries that he encounter but no additional treatment for his back. Which he can not work, and the company he worked for fired him, and no other company will hire him due to he can barely walk. One lawyer states to just take the money that has been mailed to my husband but another lawyer states that if he cashed the payment this will terminate his rights and he will be stuck like this or he can take the offer and get his surgery himself. The offer is peanuts to what he is going through. Are there any other options for us at this point?

Yesterday while i was out taking my son's to the doctor we went over this small snowbank(about 2 feet) and as i went over it i kinda fell but because i got snow and ice in my shoes everything seemed normal until i was walking back. My ankle hurt so bad i had to take my shoe off and walk in the snow to numb the pain. Today the pain is much worse, it starts in my ankle and goes right up the front and side of leg. I know it isn't broken cause if it were i would have severe swelling which i don't have not to mention i wouldn't be able to walk which i can but painfully.
Should i go to hospital when i could just be a bad sprain? or should i wait a few days and if it isn't any better then go to the hospital? I've been taking tylenol an anti-inflammatory to help reduce any possible in flammation and pain. Could this be a small fracture?
Thanks In Advance!!

I lean on my foot when i go on the computer/sit. And the top of my foot has been numb and i got into that position out of force of habit. My foot is collder than the other one , but thats about it with a little numbness, what does this mean? a pinched nerve? should i just wait it out and NEVER sit on my foot again, or the doctor?

a pencil went into the right buttocks of my 8 year old. About two inches went in. We pulled it out immediately and treated the area. Call the doctor and did as told, said she would be alright. But still worried. Any suggestions or thoughts? Will she be alright? Should I take her to the doctors anyway?

My stepdaughter has rheumatory arthritis in her knees(from what we are told)she lives with her mother and the last time she had cortisone shots in her knees & after that we heard nothing about it-now her mother has told us that she will be on a cancer medication, will lose her hair, be crippled by the time she's 40, won't be able to have children-etc,etc! I'm not sure-but it sounds a bit extreme to me-any advice?

I had a Lap choly and hernia repair. The surgeon nicked my colon 3 times and I got septic and peritonitis. I was wondering if this is considered malpractice. I had cervical cancer and had radiation damage 13 yrs ago and had a hysterectomy. I also had a C-section 12 years ago. According to what I read, Laparoscopic surgery should not have been attempted. Anyone know whether this is a breach of standard of care?
