For a couple of weeks now, I have been having constant headaches and eye pain on my right side. I've ignored it as something temporary but the pain keeps on coming and even when I take pain medicine (Aspirine, Motrin, Tylenol) it doesn't go away. It helps a lot when I put ice or a very cold towel on my eye and temple. I also see black dots. Could this be because of eye problems?

Thanks in Advance,

I have sudden pain in my fingers only. It's not in my hand, wrist, or thumb! I have had no injuries. The pain is in my right fingers, sometimes radiating up to my elbow. I can straighten & bend all of my fingers, but aching pain to do so. Should I contact my doctor? Any ideas on what this could be? How long should I wait before I call the doctor? Please help!!

It isn't the joint really, feels like the muscle or whatever behind my knee aches really bad. Oh and just under my knee hurts...but if I wear heels, I don't have any pain at all. Is this crazy or has anyone else had this happen?

For months now I have been experiencing these severe headaches. The headache always occurs on the same side right above my eye and by the temple. The headache usually lasts several hours and then goes away. Afterwards for a few days the spot that I had the headache is very tender and sore to even touch. Does anyone else suffer from something like this and if so what do you do to help it?

two years ago i sprained my right foot. one of my ponies stepped on my foot and this continued to happen a couple times after this. I haven't been stepped on if awhile; but the pain in my foot is chronic now for the last couple months, i wake up and put pressure on my foot and it's so stiff that i can hardly bend it. When i sprained my foot 2 years ago they took X-Rays and found nothing but a sprain, so is it possible that i may have broken something and didn't know it and now it has healed wrong which is causing the pain?

I'm just getting back into working out after a long break - hate to even say but its been about a 2 year break which included a rough pregnancy and now my daughter is 16 months old - so I can't say its her fault anymore because I've had more than enough time to get the weight off. I have 20lbs i MUST lose so I can stop being disgusted w/ my self. 15 still from the pregnancy & 5 from before -

So to my point. I used to be a runner. I HATE to exercise but running is the one thing that I do enjoy if I must do something. Biking has always killed my knees so I quit that long ago. Now I've started working out again - Day one I did 1/2 hr on the cybex (s/p) - similar to an eliptical I guess and by bedtime my knees were killing me. Yesterday I ran/walked on the treadmill for a 1/2 hr & did weights and felt the same. Then by morning its better.

Why are they doing that??? ANything I can do for relief? Heat seems to help so yesterday I sat in the sauna after I worked out.

I was fine this morning till I went to pick up a bag and as soon as I lifted it I felt this extremley sharp pain in the middle of my back. Now I can barley move. I bent over a little a minute ago and I was almost not able to get back up. Biggest problem is I work nights and I'm stuck at work right now b/c this all happened right as I was about to get off. Luckily I work at a hotel and am able to lie down. I have to get home soon though to take my wife to work. What do I do to make it stop? Please help!
