This has never happened to me, but I just got a cold yesterday with a bunch of back-to-back sneezing. & today, my chest hurts to simply breathe, swallow, or laugh. Is this really serious, or part of my cold? I've never had chest pains with a cold.

My left heel has been painful after walking for a while now. The right one is quite normal and a day of walking doesn't bother it, but the left heel feels hot and sore towards the end of the day. Beyond this there is no obvious damage. What is this likely to be and beyond using an elasticated tube bandage to protect my heel, which I am doing, plus cushioned insoles in my shoes; how else do I sort this problem out?
(Resting my feet entirely is not an option as I'm a chef and hence on my feet all day.)

2 days ago I woke up with a 103 temperature, sore muscles, and really out of it. Well yesterday I happend to look at my back in the mirror and seen this huge red rashy mark (it was swollen) on my back, and you could see bite marks (like 2 little holes) and there was something sticking out of it (like a black stinger). I do not remember being biten or stung by anything. I'm assuming it happend in my sleep. Now today my muscles are still VERY sore(especially my thigh and buttocks) and the mark is still very much there and does not look like it is going away. Do you think it is anything serious, should I call my doctor or wait and see what happens?Thanks for listening :)

i play soccer and after a hard practice my body (esp. my legs and my lower back) always ends up being soar and aching for a period of 2-3 days. but i do carry my aches and continue to play the next day. is it healthy to take Advil or Aleve to reduce the pain every time i get such pain? will this affect me on the long term(pain killer addict) ? Or should I just tough it out?

We played tennis for about 4 hours then he felt a little pain in his heart so we stopped. We always drink water when we played 4 bottles for each of us. When we got home, I let him eat some noodles and a sandwich. Now he's vomiting. My other now brought him to the emergency.

Not sure what's wrong. This happened before when we played tennis. Last time, we didn't drink water and he felt pain in his heart. But this time that we drank water, he vomited.

Do you what's wrong with him? Exhaustion, dyhydration or something else? Vomiting is a bit extreme and Im worried it's something serious. He's only 26 years old and average weight.

I am currently taking Cymbalta and it gives me some relief but the side effect of heavy sweating is really a nuisance. I am wondering if Lyrica works well. The one side effect that worries me is weight gain, I'm plenty big already! If you are taking Lyrica, please tell me about your experiences. Thanks.

I know there would be different costs for different surgeries. It really doesn't matter to me. I just need a realistic number.

I have been having headaches for around 2years now, worsening in pain and length. I have had a brain scan last june and it was clear. The headaches are located at the front of my skull, above my temples and accross my forehead and can vary in length from 30minutes to hours at a time.

Painkillers have no effect and i have been treated for sinusitis and taken migraine drugs such as dicloflex and zomigtriptan which resulted in my body going into a fit.

The front of my forehead always feels tense even as i relax in the bath or lying down and the only way i can make them stop is to go to sleep which is often difficult.

I have seen several GPs and specialists in neurology and none have been able to trace the cause. I also went to the opticians and my sight is apparently fine.

So I am looking for anyoe who has experienced similar symptoms or can offer ideas of what the cause could be and how to stop ths or at least ease it as its driving me up the walls having them every day!!!!

I've been walking anywhere from 7 - 10 miles 7 days a week for three months now. My toes had started to hurt. Never being an athlete, I had no idea about painful feet. Til now. Now I look closer and two toenails are discolored and the skin under one is red and swollen. So now I know I've got a serious problem, and it's Saturday, Dr's are off, and I would like to cure this myself.

Please advise the best method of treatment to cure this fast! I don't want to stop walking. I'm doing so good on my walking program! I've lost 15 pounds and about 10 inches! In three months.

I had been walking on some damp grass a few times as it had rained. I walk on uneven terrain, which I felt was better than the cement. But I think my shoes got wet and then the heat and humidity combined is probably laid the ground for a serious infection under my toenails. :( I need advice and fast! Many thanks in advance.

i'm double jointed in my fingers but not as bad as my brother i had a couple of questions about it:

1. is it considered a birth defect? if so wat happens and why?

2. does it effect the way u do things with ur hands? because my brother has some difficulties cutting with a knife (he's 11 years old) i always have to help him with that cause he can't hold the knife right.

3.is cracking ur nuckles while double jointed more dangerous then cracking ur nuckles without being double jointed

Started out in 1 ear. Both the outer and middle ear were infected. After days on Keflex (antibiotic), Vicodin/Lortab (pain), Motrin 800mg (pain), drops, some progress made. Now the other ear is getting infected. I can not go through a double infection again. I have mixed in Mucinex (otc) and Nasorel (spray).

What should I do?
