Ok, I bought a pair of shoes the other day (Nike Flight), and I have done some intense running in the past few days. All of a sudden my heels are hurting, because my new shoes are rubbing up against them. My old shoes were Nike Shox (High Tops). How do I make the rubbing stop?

Wow. Well, today I suppose I almost met my maker. My friend and I were walking down a road right outside my neighborhood that stays fairly busy, we had just gone down to speedway to get some slushes and were heading to a bank on that road where they let us skateboard after hours. About 60 feet from the bank I heard someone yell something and when I turned around I saw a bunch of little pebbles coming at me. Of course I ducked and most of them missed. I guess this wasnt enough because as soon as we started talking about it they came back again. This time, I was on the bike and they singled me out, and threw 4, 3-5 inch rocks and 3 of them hit me, one in the arm (messed up the tendants, I have about a 10 inch welt/bruise), one in the shoulder, (also messing up the tendants) and one in the chest. The fourth one I so gracefully dodged, it was heading straight for my forehead/eye region, I felt it hit my hair and scrape the top of my head as it flew by.) And of course they were going 50-55

my hamstring right above my knee on the backside hurtss soooo bad i dont no what to do about it it has hurt for like 2 or 3 days and im in track im pretty sure that has something to do with it and my coaches told me to ice it which i did but it just seems to feel worse and now its starting to go down into my calf muscle, i can't even walk up stairs without it being painful. I tore my thigh muscle in the same leg but i dont really think that would have anything to do with it. I hope i gave you enough information to tell me what i have wrong with me :)

Every morning I feel like I have been run over by a truck. Sometimes if I take tylenol or something before bed, I feel a little
better in the mornings, but most of the time I still hurt pretty bad. My husband says its all in my head. Do I need some kind of mental medicine or a pain reliever?

It started on friday with a general feeling of fatigue, i figured it was stress and took a nap but i would up with chiles and i didnt want to move. It was like that for the rest of the weekend and sunday night my throat was pretty scratchy and i had a 101 fever. I didn't go to class on monday and tried to rest but my fever went up to 102 and i had a deep cough and it started to hurt my chest. Today i went back to class but my fever now is still 102 but it got a little higher from before and closer to 103. The cough is getting worse and coming more frequently. My throat is pretty soar from all the coughing and i'm beginning to get a headache from it too. I was going to go to class in the morning but im pretty exausted. Should i just wait it out tonight and go?

I cut my foot, directly below my big toe. It bleed for 2 or 3 minutes and was deep enough to see the tissue below. It heeled over but now I can poke the top half of my big toe with a needle and it doesn't even hurt as it should. I feel it a little but not to the point where it hurts just tingles. The 1 inch scar i have still hurts nearly a year later

I let the bar fall on my upper chest on inclined bench press and since I had no spotter it laid on my upper chest for a few seconds before someone came to help me. I don't think I injured myself. How would I know if I injured myself and what could have happened.

PS: Please don't lecture me about using a spotter, I always use them but the weigths were so light I could do 15 reps with them, I just screwed up since I'm not used to inclined down bench press.

Has this ever happened to you? While starting to fall into sleep, your body just freezes and you cant move, you cant open your eyes and you cant even talk to scream for help.....What if its like this when you die and you want to tell everyone that you are alive?

It started with sharp pains in my stomach from Wednesday to Friday. Saturday, I had a fever of 102, my body was shakey and VERY sore, no more stomach pains. I couldn't get out of bed. Sunday was the same thing as Saturday, but my throat started to hurt as well. Monday I could barely talk, the fever went down, and I had trouble sleeping and became a little lightheaded, but I could get out of bed. Today, I am very lightheaded, I have to hold onto something if I walk, it hurts VERY badly when I sneeze and cough.

Any suggestions of how to get rid of this mess or do you know what it may be?

I started feeling really tired this weekend but sunday night i came down with a 101 fever so i stayed out of class monday. I thought it was just a cold but later that night it rose to 102 and most of today it was 102 and eventually got to 103. It went down a but but I'm feeling worse and generally exausted, i didn't go to class today either. Plus, yesterday i started with a minor cough but now it turned into a really deep croupey cough and it comes in spells for 10 min. at a time, I have a headache and the cough is giving me a soar throat now. I was thinking i could wait it out tonight and go back to classes tomorrow but im not sure if i should call my doctor to see whats up, or im just being a baby and its a cold?
