How many days will I be in severe pain and when can I begin sexual activity again.
They are done together b/c hospital costs are lower

I have had lower back pain for at least 6 years and messed it up seriously about 4 times. The first time I screwed it up when I was dancing on a no carpet floor with no shoes very vigorously, the second time riding a bike up hills triggered it, the third time again dancing without shoes or socks, this latest time step aerobics (two risers).
When I really screw it up all I can do is lay on my back and rest take motrin and hope it gets better. My lower back is weak and I am very serious with my workouts. I hate to miss them but I know if I don't I will injure my back even more. Is there anything I can do to strengthen my lower back? My bed doesn't help unless I sleep on my side curled up so it doesn't put pressure on my lower back/lumbar. I tried sleeping with a pillow under my knees but I end up sleeping in another position because I don't sleep on my back.

Two nights ago, I got 7 mosquito bites. Last night, I got 5 more. My fiancee hasn't got any. My mom always told me that mosquitoes liked my sweet blood, but I researched it and found this.

Why do mosquitoes bite? Actually, it is only the females that bite and they do so out of necessity ratther than pleasure. Female mosquitoes seek blood when they are preparing to lay eggs as they need the nourishment to produce healthy offspring. The mosquito's normal diet of plant juices contains none of the proteins a female needs in order to produce her eggs. For that, she needs a concentrated source of protein, which, unfortunately for us, is blood.

If this is true, why do the mosquitoes only bite me?
Also, some of them have started to turn purple. It's acting like a spider bite, and I've never had bites do this.
This is the irritated one

Ok well, randomly I have these weird little shock pains, they kind of make me jump a little, they aren't from the outside they're from the inside , they're just so sudden.

It doesn't happen everyday. . . just randomly, what could it be?

I know you'd proably say go to the doctor or something but... like no one takes me so yeah...

Any help? Thanks...

I haven't been able to sit indian style for longer than 2 minutes for a little over a year now. I've been doing aerobic exercise for about 4 months now and have just started to notice the pain when weight is shifted to soley my knees. Now my knees hurt when going up stairs. I'm barely 20 years old. Could arthritis be the cause?

i am a 16 year old girl. since thursday i have had an extremly sore throat constantly. it stops me from sleeping and it is so painful that i can't swallow which means i have to spit (which i despise). i am not a big eater anyway but i have eaten next to nothing or drunk next to nothing since thursday. it is a saturday so can't go to the doctors as they are closed at weekends. anyone have any ideas what this could be and how serious it is? or is it nothing? also, i have started getting very nasty headaches right behind my eyes which tablets don't relieve.

thank you in advance.

ps. i dont no if this is relevent but i had my last GCSE exam on wednesday (the whole exam time was quite stressful)

I have a friend who has, in the past, suffered from anaphylactic (throat closing up, generalized body swelling, impaired breathing) reactions to bee stings. The doctor has recommended that she always carry an Epi-Pen, but these need to be replaced every six months, and at $50 a pop, it's not something she can afford.

Since we live in Michigan, really, the most dangerous time for her would be April through September, so she'd be pretty safe not carrying one in the winter months.

Does anyone know of a way that she can either get one free or at a very discounted price? (She has no health insurance.)

Where can she go (or who can she talk to) to ask about this?

Thanks so much.

Last night i started having trouble swallowing/eating and breathing. Everytime i breathe in deep it hurts like right in the center of my upper body. Whenever i swallow something (like food or drink) it hurts and its almost like i can feel it going down my throat and it doesn't hurt too much until it reaches my stomach or wherever it is the food goes. Also if i tilt my head back enough I can feel my throat hurting. I don't really know how to explain it but my moms at work and i don't want to bother her right now and she's mad at me..like always but i just want to know what i can do to make this pain go away.

*i don't know if this helps but if i can somehow muster a burp i feel a little better but then the pain just comes right back. any advice would seriously be appreciated.

I woke about 15 mins ago with a pain in the lower right side of
my stomach and the pain was a little lower than the ribs. Kidney area and I went to the bathroom and urinated but the pain was still there but a little was gone. Then I sat down and and massaged gently the pain area and after a few second it went away and now it doesn't hurt. Does anyone know what this could be since I never had it before?
