General Health Care - May 2007

For the past week and a half:

I have had fairly persistent headaches along my temples and sides of my head
The area around my nose and temples are tender, and I am some what congested, but not too too bad. Most mornings I do wake up to a mild soar throat
Pain relievers and decongestants haven't helped that much.
When I do physical activity, the headache and congestedness goes away, but I feel that there is pressure around my eyes. As soon as I stop doing physical activity, the pressure goes away, but my headache comes back, but very mild
My headache usually starts in the morning and intensifies late in the day while at work before subsiding

Anyway, I am 25 and healthy, I think. I am headed to the doctor in a couple of days, but I just wanted to see if other people have experienced this and if I should be concerned. I feel that I have sinuses along with a bad tension headache. Bad sinuses and headaches run in my family.

First off back in 2002 i was in the Marine Corps and i was diagnosed with a left femoral neck stress fracture involving 50% of the compressive side. elected not to do no surgery with 6 months on crutches and physical therapy. pain started in oct 2001 they said it was bursitus. pain didnt subside with anti-inflammatory and finally diagnosed with the stress fx. in march 2002 with an mri. two weeks ago all of a sudden for no reason my hip/femur felt like it was being pulled out and ready to snap. if im on it all day it hurts like that when i stop. but now i have a limp and pain radiates down my leg to my feet sometimes it aches and sometimes it feels numb. when i lay down to sleep i get this horrible numbing pain that i cant stop. this will last about 45 seconds every 10-15 mins. ct scan ruled out sciatica. and an mri eval at my hip and femoral neck ruled out the usual...stress fx,avn(which is what i thought it was)im 24 yrs old but dont feel like it. doc said pulled ligaments.

i have had numerous surgeries, including a spinal fusion in my neck. i have to take oxycodone for the pain. however there are obvious side effects that are undesirable. like no libido(my wife complains). sometimes i can handle the pain without the oxy. but, what i cant handle are the withdrawls. I have tried xanax but i still feel crummy. any ideas on what to do for the withdrawls i would greatly appreciate.

I have developed an earache in my right ear. It hurts pretty bad when I swallow or even open my mouth. There is also pain on the right side of my throat, I figured i had tonsillitis, but the doctor said they are only slightly enlarged (nothing out of the normal) and she doubts it is an infection (but took a CBC just in case). The pain is really bothering me. She said it seems like TMJ and that maybe so but the pain seems to have only started as of today. Could it be the tonsils or the adenoids? If so what is the course of action?

I hit my head on the bottom of my pool yesterday. At first it didn't hurt, but about 30 seconds later it felt like my head was about to explode. Then about 1 minute later my neck started to hurt really bad. Today my head doesn't hurt but my neck is killing me! It hurts when move it to the right, it also hurts when I look up and down. But there is no pain when I look left. What is wrong with my neck?

My right knee hurts below the knee cap a little on the right side. It is not a thrubing pain just a constant ache. When i walk it seams to go away. Just when I sit for a while.

Especially on the right knee. I'm 25 years old and this has just recently started happening to me. Sometimes it feels like my right knee locks up (and my left occasionally too) and there's a pain that shoots through my knee, I can't even stand for about 2-3 minutes, then it goes away. But they ache constantly. What is it?

My blood pressure medicine, (Lisinopril hct) says to take it once a day, does it matter if it is am or pm? I had been taking it every morning but sometimes I forget, so I thought if I took it in the evening along with dinner I would be less likely to forget.

Any advice is appreciated.

usually like, if i eat a can of tuna in oil, or grilled "fatty" chicken, i already know that during the night, about 4 hours into the n ight when all the stuff gets processed, i will wake up feeling like throwing up. now i already now ahead of time basically just by tasting the food, if its gonna make me throw up later on, its usually "fatty" type of foods, a big mac doesnt cause any problems however, it seems to be "lighter", well anyway, basiaclly like theres fatty tasting type of foods that i KNOW i will wake up at night from it, ahead of time, i didnt always have this, its about 2 years i have had this. i basically pretty much know ahead of time if the food is gonna cause me to throw up AFTER i ate it, and when i do actually "feel like throwing up" its during the night, it isnt right after, its about 4 hours into the night
whats the problem?
