There is this pain behind my knee i've been getting the past two weeks. I thought it would go away, but I guess not. I've been trying to do some research but i couldn't find anything about the pain I was getting.

It's behind my knee, you can see it when I'm turned around. It hurts when I run or go up the stairs. When I'm walking, it's fine. It's not too painful, but it's painful enough to slow me down when I'm running. Does anyone know what this can be?

I am 60 and never had heartburn. Lately I've been getting it after eating candy with nuts or just plain nuts? Is this heartburn, or could it be the beginning of something else?

Sometimes when led down I have had a whole body twitching experience. Well my neck, back and legs when led down. Since then it has happened maybe 10 times over 2 years. I have to physically get up and stretch to make it stop. One time it carried on so I had to move my neck around a lot to stop it. Anyone know what would cause my whole body to convulse slightly. I have never been to the doctor about it because It always stopped quickly but just wondered. Could it be something to do with my spine?Should I have gone to doctors?

I have been reading through the different type of questions there was regarding ear ache and could get any one that has the similar symptoms as me

okay here goes. i get this ear pain. it feels like its really deep inside of my ear. sometimes it disappear with in 2 to 3 minutes. then on other times the pain will get worse and it can last from 5 min to 30 min. and at that stage it goes down into my neck and i cant move my neck cause of the pain. it also seems that by apply cold on it makes it more tolerable. i have tried painstillers but it doesn't make any difference. i basically have to wait it out. it will dissappear for months and then just suddenly pop up. i was oneday at the emercy room where a doctor told me my ear was red inside and it looked like an infection.

a dr in chicago at Northwestern Memorial Hosp. told me I had "stiffening of the heart" in a letter in BLACK AND WHITE. Now after 2 seperate echocardiogram and stress tests by a cardiologist at the same hospital it has been proven my heart is 100 % normal but the hospital has absolutely no empathy or compassion towards me and the fear I had for several days that I was very ill before the cardiologist told me I was ok. The hospital says I misinterpreted the DR's misdiagnosis I have it in a LETTER the DOCTOR MISINTERPRETED THE TESTS and scared the hell out of me for a weekend and 3 days.

I was taking 8-10 10mg per day. I've got it down to 2-3 7.5 now. This allows me to "function" but I feel like hell. I am planning on going cold turkey as I have a 3 day weekend coming up. Unfortunately, I can afford my habit and my "guy" always has plenty. This addiction has gone on for 10 years and I am petrified of what it has done to my organs.

I have been having problems with sciatic pain for over a year now. The pain gets so severe that is feels like a knife is being thrust into my hip. I have been to the doctor and X-RAYS are negative, MRI are negative. They are going to send me to a pain management clinic and possible give me epithelia injections. I have been going to a chiropractor and he says my sacroiliac bone keeps coming out of place but there is now indication on the MRI, X-RAYS. It seems I live between tordol shots. I am at the end of my rope and I am curious if anyone has any suggestions or helpful advice.

in Feb i fell in the street and bent my thumb back, at first i thought it was broken, as i was in agony.

i went to the hospital and it was confirmed that it wasn't broken i had just strained the tendons.

since then, there is a lump that has come up (About the size of a pea) on my wrist, which i must stress doesn't hurt.

also my thumb still feels a bit sore if i try to clench my fist, at which i can only describe is like the tendon is being pulled.

ANY IDEAS??

I have coeliac disease, and whenever i eat anything containing gluten, it affects my joints and makes them ache, so when my joints first started to ache again the other day, i just put it down to eating something I wasn't meant to. However, in the last 2 days the pain hasn't gone away at all, if anything it's gotten worse...and I seem to be going numb in my wrists and ankles - it's extremely unpleasant. At first it was only happening every few hours...now it's every few minutes. I'm also certain that I have not eaten anythign else I shouldn't have. I'll go to the doctor...but I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas about what it might be..or if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks...

I'm think of buying centrum performance, as I am just so..tired all the time. Does it make a difference for anyone? Any other advice to increase energy? I'm sick of caffeine, makes me so jumpy and jittery, no matter how little I consume. Thoughts?
