some people love the pain they feel when they workout but i dread lifting weights and running because of the pain. my doctor says i might have high blood pressure/cholesterol from family history but is there anything i can concentrate on or do to relieve the pain?

Basically, my one of my molars was in a lot of pain which in turn gave me a bad headache. I went to the dentist that day and they gave me an antibiotic (they said it was an infection) and a pain killer. Also, they told me if the antibiotic didn't work I'd probably have to have a root canal. Now the pain is on the entire left side of my mouth (gums, teeth and even my jaw). Should I make another appointment or wait out the medicine, which I have 3 days left of?

It's been getting worse the past two years. It used to be just the arthritis in my right foot just above the big toe that hurt when I walked for very long. Now it's my right toe & my left heel - not my achilles tendon or the tendon that runs from my heel to the ball of my foot ... but my heel burns now when I walk.

I used to only have excrutiating pain in winter when I walked & loved it when summer came because I could wear flip flops & the pain was minimal. Every doctor or podiatrist I've been to has prescribed orthotics like they are earning commission for pushing them! My orthotics don't ease the pain!

This summer I've been wearing my rubber flip flops & was really looking forward to walking more for my health but, if I go out shopping for longer than an hour, I can hardly make it back home, my feet hurt so badly. The pain makes me hobble & I'm a very proud woman who does not like to hobble in public!

Please tell me how to end this pain. I'm allergic to Ibuprophin.

I really have trouble sleeping, mostly because I always have the tendency to stay up late (regardless of how early I wake up...I think it's a psychological issue with time) and it's very hard for me to wake up early.

So, there are of course times when I need to wake up early, like 7 or 8, when I've been used to going to sleep at 3 or 4 and waking up at 12 or 1. When these times come, I always end up trying to sleep early but can't fall asleep for hours, and I wake up with 3-4 hours sleep and feel horrible the rest of the day. I then struggle to fall asleep early that night too.

I'm looking for a good OTC medicine or sleep aid for this problem. I want something POWERFUL, I'm not afraid of it being addictive because I'll be using it once a week at most. I have this herbal stuff, Valerian Extract, it makes me feel sleepy after about 20 minutes, but it doesn't last long and goes away in about 10 minutes, so if I don't fall asleep in that little time window, I'm screwed.

Well, i went to the Orthopedic Surgeon on Friday and he had like 100 patients waiting, so he went really quick, and I couldn't ask too many questions. He said my hips are actually SHAPED wrong, and it's a genetic thing. It has been so painful lately, I can barely do anything. If it's genetic, why is it so bad now [ps im 15 years old]?
