Ok I have now had my cast on for a total of 3 weeks and 2 days. I want to know how long should I stay in a cast, when I can start to walk when my cast comes off, and when I can run and play sports again.

I only have one small screw in my ankle

I am tired all day but can't sleep at night. If I take Tylenol PM or something like that it takes about an hour to knock me out and I feel groggy in the morning. If I wait until I'm tired enough to sleep (which I'm doing now) I don't usually get tired until 3 or 4 then I'm groggy the next morning. Which solution is better or is there an alternative?

My son (2 years old) was very sick a couple of days ago, he was running high fevers and could not hold anything down. I ended up in the ER and was there until his fever broke. Last night I noticed a sore on his lip and thought it must be a cold sore. This morning during breakfast he would not eat and was sticking his fingers in his mouth so I grabbed a flashlight and looked inside and saw another sore. This afternoon I went to put some more medicine on the sores and noticed that he had so many more sores. They are on his tongue, in between teeth, on his cheeks, and inside lower lip. Are these still cold sores? I was told that that are just on the outside, and they don't look like Canker sores. Could these have been caused by the fevers he was having? Anything a Doctor will do, or will they just tell me to use the pain reliever from the store?

I just can't sleep. I am not really worried about anything (I worry a lot though and it's weird that I am not). I am not really excited. I just feel like its 3:00 PM. I haven't taken anything that would keep me awake. Why am I not tired?

i tripped and went flying forward to end up knocking my arm on a trash can. i thought it wasn't anything so i rested it and put an icepack on it, i didn't realize it was a broken blood vessel til' a family member told me about an hour after the accident. it's been about a half hour after finding out and i want to know if there's anything else i can do. now it's just a big bump on my arm that's kind of purpley and reddish.

Sometimes in the morning I lie awake. Then in the twinkling of an eye I'm rolling out of bed and moving. Its not my mind, saying get up now. Nor do I have any urgent need to use the bathroom. This definitely doesn't happen everyday but often enough that I'm curious as what cause my body to go from quiet relaxation to energetic rising.

Ok, long story short, i'm dumb, forgot to wear a cup, got hit in the testicals with a Lacrosse ball. Went to the Doctors the next day, checked me everything is fine. I have a pain were my appendix is. I don't understand why? The Doctor did check it out and said i was fine. That was on Wednsday Morning. Its now Friday night and i still have pain in my appendix, just wondering how this could be connected? If you think it has been sum how brused, is it a bad idea to lift weights? Also there is no visible swelling or discoloration. Thanks for your help.

I just fell off my bike. I hit the curb. I have a headache because my head hit the ground, I had a helmet on. My knee also hit the ground and I have a minor scrape. I did fall on my left breast and now it's hurting like crazy. I move my arm and it hurts. Now my back is starting to hurt. I was able to to ride the rest of the way home. How long will I be hurting? Also will a bruise form on my breast?

I have been to 3 different doctors and they don't listen to me. I know I am not crazy. For about a year now, I have had pains in my neck, back, knees, feet, chest and pelvis. I have had headaches and an anxiety attack. The pain is always in different areas mentioned above. One day my back hurts, another day my chest and so on. I have had an MRI done on my chest, knee, and abdomen area. All are fine. Bloodwork is fine. Sometimes, I get a burning sensation on my thighs or lower back. I feel like I am falling apart. I am only 30 years old. The only problem I have ever had is a mitral valve prolapse. Has anyone had these symptoms? Any ideas of what it could be?I just want to add I wake up at night at least 3 or 4 times and constantly tired.

My upper back and left shoulder/arm is hurting so bad. The pain is excruciating. Please don't tell me to go to the doctor. I have an appointment set for Thursday. But I was wondering if anyone has a clue about what might be the problem and what I might be able to do between now and then to relieve the pain.

I'll elaborate on what I'm feeling: My lower neck and upper back is sore (like how we feel when we get the flu). Same with my left shoulder. The pain radiates down my left arm-- But, the further down it goes, it feels more like sunburn or like I held my arm over the stove until I got a bit fried. Know what I mean? Asprin isn't killing the pain. Pain killers aren't helping. And I have drank so much booze that my belly is STUFFED.

Does anyone have any advice? Know what's wrong with me or what I could do to ease the pain 'til I see the doc?

Thanks!
