General Health Care - April 2007

I think due to lately i have been doing alot of 'house' and toprock and maybe jumping i can feel occasional pain near my nerve or bone (the ropey like thing) at the back of my left knee when i walk.
Is it because i didn't warm up enough? Is it serious?
Could Anyone tell me what i can do to make it go away?

The bottom of heel hurts when standing up after sitting or lying down. Dr. gave me Vioxx, it did help but was taken off the market, other over-the-counter pain easers do not help. Have also tried elevation and hot jacuzzi water. Any suggestions? HELP!

Top of upper leg where it joins hip is extremely painful in the middle of the night to the point of waking me up. It radiates to a dull ache down my leg. Its not a pinched sciatic nerve. Any clues. Its not painful during the day.

I heard that repeatedly, over a period of time, fiddling with/pinching/touching the end part of the nose, which is made of cartilage, stimulates the soft tissue and causes an increase in growth ie. touching the end of your nose a lot causes the cartiligious part to change shape. Is this true? I've heard of the nose always growing slightly throughout life but does touching it a lot/fiddling with it accelarate this growth process or not at all? Basically, if you keep messing with the buttony bit of the nose a lot does it alter its shape & size/positioning etc. Any med people out there?

Okay yesterday afternoon I was playing basketball outside in my backyard just shooting hoops when I was about to shoot and my ankle twitches or something and I go bending down to the ground with pain shooting thru my ankle.
Now last night I put ice on it and elevated it in bed but this morning it still hurt to walk on. It hurts to put weight on it when bending your leg at a angle like when walking. And when I walk I have to limp because it hurts when I walk on it. I mean I can stand and everything but it hurts to move it like when walking. And I feel warmth on it sometimes.
I have to go to school tommorow and I have a feild trip Thursday and gym Wednesday.
If it still hurts tommorow should my mom take me to the doctor?
And at school should I wear like :

It isn't bruised either.
Any advice?

I was at a fundraiser yesterday and I was running I tried to jump over this chain which was I swear no more than 6 inches off the ground I had made this jump several times before but for some reason I didn't make the jump this time and I fell. I landed on my knees. one knee cap just got really scraped up, the other one I landed on it funny and it really hurt. I heard it pop and i could still walk on it and i can still walk on it but if I turn around i feel a pop and it hurts. I can't bend it that well without feeling it pop and it hurting and if i try to stop real fast I feel a pop and pain can any one tell me what might have happened. It doesn't hurt when I stand on it or walk but I don't know... should i see a doctor? I don't want to be taken off the sailing team which might happen if I see a doctor. Can anyone help me? Please

I broke my ankle and tore 2 ligaments one week ago. Went to initial doc, and he put on a stiff padded boot and reccomended I see an osteopath in a few days. I have no insurance, and osteopath wanted 200 up front before he would see me, sooo I never went. Keeping the boot on, walking on crutches, being very careful, when can I start trying to walk on it again, with the boot???? Relying on the crutches really is wearing me out! And no, I didnt need surgery.

For the past few months I've been getting a really sharp pain down my left shoulder blade. At first I thought It was muscular but when Its massaged and rubbed the pain goes really deep and sharp. I've been taking paracetamol but that doesn't work. Could it be a trapped nerve?

Think it could be a Repetative Strain Injury picked up from work.

Ok, The top left side of my thigh hurts. I was pregnant. I thought maybe it was just because i was always sleeping on my left side. It started hurting bad at the end of my pregnancy. And It's been two months since i had my baby and the pain is still there. I havent slept on my left side for two months. Why wont the pain go away. Also it's weird. If i touch it very lightly i can't feel anything. but if i touch my right thigh lightly i can feel it. so it's like my left thigh is numb. but if i touch it a little harder there is this sharp pain. Should i seek doctor help? what could this be?
