I've been aching for about a week; thought it might be a kidney stone but it hasnt moved.

My partner has just come out of hospital after a stroke and although she has lost no movement in her limbs, she is always tired and wants to sleep during the day, is there anything that can be tried to improve this situation the normal GP doesn't seem to want to know.

Well I'm not sure if I should be seriously worried but I'd like to see what it might be. For 2 years now I've been having sharp pains all over my body at the most random places. They don't all last the same amount of time but they are extreamly painfull. What could it be or is this just normal?

About a week ago I was stung by a sting ray on the bottom of my foot. after a few days i was feeling better and began to walk on it like normal. It stayed a little bruised and still a little swollen. Now, the bruise is completely gone, but for the past day and a half it has become more swollen and it itches like crazy. I don't think there is a barb stuck in there, when it happened a doctor checked it out and said it was fine. Is it doing this because it is healing or is it infected? my foot feels like a baloon (it doesn't look that way though)

when your chainsaw kicks and you absorb the kick and enguage the brake as you are supposed to and the just sharpened teeth drag across your leg you can get a nasty cut even thought the chain is not moving.
lol. some days are better than others.

Last night i fell and hurt my shoulder. i was running and tripped or something. When I fell I managed to tuck and roll and came right up on my feet. I know I didn't plant my hands because they don't have a single cut, scrape, or scratch. However, my shoulder hurts pretty bad and I can't raise it very high. The nature of the pain is more soreness than real pain.

My question, based on what I just described, is whether you think it could be a serious injury or i more likely to just be soreness and bruising. I don't have a problem going to the doctor if I need to, but I don't want to waste the time or money if they can't do much more than put me in a sling (which I already have), tell me to keep it iced, and tell me to take ibuprofen.

Well I get sick every time weather changes. Two weeks back I was sick with congestion and fever My Dr. Prescribed me Z -Pak, I went back to work.

After two weeks I am again sick with worse congestion and fever running high up to 104, I am done .This time my Dr. Prescribed me clarithromycin. I still have fever not that high 101,nasal congestion, cough , sinus pain , and headache. I am not able to get up from bed bad body ache.

I hurt my foot somehow the other day, and I've been on crutches for a couple days. Today I tried walking on the injured foot to see if it was feeling any better and other than it feeling funny cause i haven't used it in a couple days, and an occasional burst of sharp pain in the bottom of my foot, I am able to bear weight on that foot and walk. I'm worried, however, that since I have not gone to a doctor yet to have him check out my foot that my foot might get worse if I don't continue to use the crutches.

Hey guys. My younger sister is the captain of the girls varsity basketball team and she got injured about 3 weeks ago. When she was playing their record was 6 wins-1 loss and now that she's injured they lost 13 games in a row. She feels very depressed because her team needs her. Now it's been 3 weeks after her injury and what had happened was that her knee cap dislocated and she tore her lateral ligaments. She went to the hospital a week ago after all of the swelling went down to get her knee cap pushed back. She can walk a little bit and is doing some physical therapy and she's sick and tired of watching her team lose but she's not healed yet. Do you know any way to get her to heal faster?
