I know my right knee has a little arthritis in it, doctor took a xray, but now I notice my left knee once in awhile feels like it pops out of the joint for a minute, it really doesn't hurt but is just annoying when walking.

I'm a 16-year-old female and recently experiencing on-off pain in my knees and ankles, mainly my left. In the knee the pain feels almost as if fluid is leaking but I'm sure that's just my imagination, while my ankle simply feels weak and as if it will give out, though it doesn't. It isn't severe crippling pain, more of an ache.

The ache/pain does not considerably worsen with exercise but is mainly present in the cold (which to me suggested arthritis, but I'm only 16).

I do have the idea it might be a calcium deficiency as I don't get my required 3 serves of dairy (mainly due to a slight eating disorder), though I do take a multivitamin. Again, is this likely at 16?

Any other ideas?

Ones I really need to know: Constipation(stool softeners don't work) Colds, Flu, and anything else you think I may be facing. Thanks to all who answer, Jen

I had my gall bladder out in Feb., with no complications or side-effects. Then within the last couple of weeks I have been getting the same pains I was having when it was discovered that I had stones.
Any ideas of what this is? Why did it take so long for the pains to come back if it's just residual? Could it be a missed stone?

I stepped on something outside about 2 wks ago, and it hasn't hurt, just been irritating. It's on the outside of my foot where the skin is thick and I can't see. My husband can see a splinter or piece of wood but he can't tweeze it. I have three choices: Should I let it fester so it'll come to the top? Should I let my husband use a sterile needle to go fish for it? Or do I have to go see the dr:(?

I have been experiencing what I thought was rls for about 2 years. I have taken a lot of meds that either cause me to feel like my skin is on fire or make me very ill. I have tried muscle relaxers, valium, xanax and they make it much worse. My symptoms have progressed from restlessness in my calves to shooting stabbing pain from my feet to my hips and pain and the restless feeling in both arms. I experience cramps all day long and just a general soreness while walking. I went for a sleep study last night and had to leave because I was in excruciating pain and had to come home and sit a a scalding hot bath for about an hour to get a slight amount of relief. I am getting maybe 3 hours of sleep a night which is leaving me completley exhausted as well. Although my boss understands what I am going through she pulled me into her office last week and told me that if I don't get this taken care of I may lose my job because of my lack of concentration and silly mistakes.

Alright last week I got the bunion on my right foot removed and this morning I got my stitches out and I was told I could take showers normally and my foot would be ok getting wet. I got the stitches out around 9:30 this morning and then I took a shower around 4:00. When I got in the shower my stomach immediatly started hurting. And when I put my foot down the pain was definitely intensified. After a few minutes I couldn't take it anymore, I just washed my hair and immediatly got out. I thought I was going to throw up. Then I was sitting in bed and slept for four hours.

Does anyone know why this all may have I happened? =/
Thanks in advance.

I woke up today and I realized that the skin between my thumb and pointer was in pain. Not only that, but (I work at McDonalds) when I was rolling papers up for a packet, I couldn't do it as flexible as I once can.

When I talked to my mom about it, she mentioned Carpal Tunnel. What is going on?
