this is a very strange question, but I'm wondering if its possible to somehow strain your bladder muscle. I have suddenly had a lot of pain in my lower abdomen right where my bladder is. Its fine if Im laying down, but if I stand up and move the wrong way I have a shooting pain. However that is my only symptom. I cant figure out what could be wrong. I appreciate your help.

My husband bumped into my heel with a shopping cart about 5 weeks ago and i got a preety good gash that bruised a little bit. after a few days, I noticed it started to look a little bit infected, i begane cleaning it alternately with peroxide, anti-biotic ointment and alcohol, the redness and bruising had been gone for 3 weeks or more, I still have a preety deep yellowish scab and just over the last day the area above the scab and moveing up my leg is swelling (my left leg is not)
I feel morw aware of my ankle, not really pain, a littlle stifness like the skin is tight.I cant see the inside ankle bone any more and just above that point, I feel a slight pinch, again not really pain. Should I be seen? or should I try ice and anti -inflamatory first?

I have this sharp pain underneath my foot right under the arch. People told me it might be plascistis fastis or soemthing but I think it might not be because that is only under the heel. My pain is in the arch as if someone is stretching my feet it feels like. Oh I have flat feet by the way. Why do I have this pain for 3 months now. It hurts at times and I don't know what it is.. HELP

Surgery? Illness? Injury? This is physical pain, not emotional... What hurt the worst ever?

okay, I have no idea if I was even bitten, but I believe it was because I remember brushing away a bug near my forehead. I couldn't tell what kind of bug, but I think it was a flying bug or a spider hanging from a web. It was a golden/yellow color. anyways... there is a hard lump on my forehead now. doesn't really protrude out, but the hardness and consistency feels like a mosquito bite. It is only slightly red(i think b/c of the rubbing I did on it). It doesn't hurt or feel itchy at all. If it was a major bite like from a spider, do you think it would atleast hurt?

I had back surgery in 1994 and have had problems ever since. In 2001 I started tking 10-325 norco for the pain. For a few years I would take 3 a day. last year my Dr. dropped me to 4 5-325s a day. This didnt help. I figure my tolerance is higher now. I went to a neurologist and they said I have 2 more ruptured discs along with degenerative disc disease. They are giving me the same, 4 5-325 a day so that means i'm taking 2 5-325s four times a day. I know im not suppose to take scripts from different Drs. But Im scared if I tell them 4 isnt helping they wont give anything to me. I DO NOT want surgery again. I have to support my family and newborn son. Besides by taking 8 5-325s a day its still very painfull but I am still able to function somewhat. What should I do? I know the pills are bad for my liver and my Drs will be mad but I still have to take care of my family and if they operate AGAIN im screwed. Please help. Thanks

I have been taking roughly 2 to 5 vicodins a day since december 2006. I am dead set determined to quit now. I don't crave them at all, even when I stopped for a couple days, but the ONLY withdrawel I seem to get is the legs cramps. I don't want advice saying to see my doctor because at the moment I have no insurance.And I dont want to hear to turn to methodone or other drugs to ease off. I want off the drugs, not subsitute one for another. I would like to hear any advice at all on beating the leg cramps. Hot baths help but only when I'm in the tub, and leg rubs work well from my fiance but he can only rub so much. Ibuprofin does nothing. They become so bad I will wake at all hours of the night almost in tears, twisting and turning my legs in every direction. I would also like to know honestly about how long the leg cramps will last but I would like to hear from someone who has gone through this themselves and not someone guessing please. Thank you very much

Hi,

All the time I am scared I'll have to pee during a class or drive or something so I go pee like every hour, and before and after class.

I have no problem holding it at home when the restroom is always available.

How do I get over this fear? Do young adults really wet their pants on accident and how long does it take to get to that point? I don't want to be doing the pee pee dance during class, but going pee every hour is inconvienient. Sometimes I try hard and wait two hours, but I am so nervous about it I can't help feeling like I need to pee now.

I can't wear diapers so I can't find out how long I can go in a classroom. At home I am not doing anything so I just can't say I can hold it the same amount of time.

THanks

I don't feel sick really. Just light headed / dizzy. I have ate "real food" and napped. Does anyone know what this might be? Serious answers only please.

It was so painful that even when I would take deep breaths, my chest would really hurt. I dont know what could have caused it. I've had this pain once again....about couple of months ago. The pain is so bad that I can hardly move. The pain also starts in my chest and expand to my back. I wonder what could be causing it. Any ideas?
