It doesn't really hurt but it is certainly noticeable. I've read that yawning and swallowing should help, but it hasnt. Anybody know what I can do, short of going to the doctor? I don't have insurance.....

I have a bill from a consult with a doctor's assistant. I had to talk to this person before the doctor would decide if he would take my case or not. I never talked to the doc, but they are billing me 200.00 for something I could have filled out myself on paper. This person just asked questions and wrote down my answers. Then after the visit was over, they decided to tell me they didn't accept my insurance.

Isn't there a way to refuse payment?

Lately I have been waking with sinus headaches, always behind the left eye. They only happen when I sleep. I'll sit up for about a half hour and they eventually go away. I rarely get them, but lately I've had them for about a week straight. Is there any way to prevent them before going to bed?

I am a 24 year old Male. Over the last 1yrs or so I have had numerous problems with my back. I sought chiropractic care but eventually I had to stop that due to $$ reasons. Recently in the last 3-4 Months the pain has became constant. Some times worse than others. I work at a Job where I am at a desk all day. Half way through the day I am in so much pain in My back and my neck . I have seen my primary doctor and he recommended physical therpy. I have started physical therapy , my therapist says that I have 2 curves in my spine and that one leg is 1 1/4 inches longer than the other(talk about giving someone a complex). I am still in pain daily and it gets so mad at work that I want to cry at times because I have no choice but to stay there and take the pain. The doctor has perscribed Tramadol and a muscle relaxer which slightly helps at times but not close to enough. Please help, Anyone know any good,sympathetic doctors around Portland,ME or any advise would help thank you

I had proceedure as emergency on 26 February. Left foot was totally numb, agonising pain in left leg and I could not go to loo.

I am now walking approximately 3 miles a day,smimming 30 lengths in local pool, but my foot is still numb. Has anyone had this proceedure and if so, how long did it take for the feeling to come back?
Every now and again,I fall over- its as though my brain doesn't know that my foot is on the floor!!!

I also now have pain in my right hip and am being referred for physiotherapy. Did anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

Ok, here's the deal. I'm trying very hard to lose weight and get into shape, but I keep getting blisters on the same place on my right foot. I even bought new shoes to help cure this problem, or so I thought! I didn't buy cheap shoes. I went to a shoe store recommended by a coworker. They looked at my feet, the way I stand and they way I walk. But these new shoes are giving me blisters on the right edge of my right foot, the outside part of my big toes, and my left heel. Is there anything that I can use to prevent them? I know that runners put on some kind of lotion or something before they run a 5K or a marathon. Also, what's the best way to care for them and get rid of them fast? Thanks in advance for all your answers!

How long can it take to recover from a torn ligament and a Baker's cyst (which is just a fluid filled sac behind the knee)?! It's been three weeks today since I injured it. I am now able to walk on it for short distances but still unable to return to normal activities! How much longer do I have to deal with this?!

The ball of my foot is really sore when I walk on it. There are no bruises, no redness, no cuts etc.

What could this be? It's only on one foot and I haven't done anything to it.

About three days ago I was running, and I tripped and scabbed my knee up pretty badly. The day after, I was sitting at my desk at work and it started hurting. It isn't a sharp pain, but it feels like joint pain. It only really hurts when I am sitting down for a long time, and feels better when I get up and walk around on it... Should I go to a doctor for this? I mean, what are they going to do? Give me pain killers and tell me to stay off of it for a couple of days? I want to know why it hurts.

What are some of the side effects associated with these drugs. The label is very scary and i am afraid to take these medications. My doctor assures me it is ok to take in moderation.
