I've answered so many pain questions concerning teeth pain, sunburn pain, period cramps, etc. and no one knows the wonders of Ibuprofen. PEOPLE, Ibuprofen dulls the pain. Disclaimer....Make sure you check the bottle for the correct dosage and warnings.

I have a recurring headache in the exact same spot every one to two weeks. They are extremely painful and last only a few seconds. Any ideas as to what the cause is or even where to start looking to figure out what is going on? I have an appointment with my doctor in a few days, but i would like to read up a bit online about it first.

@ a party Sat., one of my roommate’s friends challenged anyone to box him in the living room. There was only 1 set of gloves, so we had to share them. We were both very intoxicated. Someone put the left-handed glove on me because I couldnt get it on, but Im right handed. As it began, we both hit each other with the gloves at the same time, but instincts took over and I immediately threw my right bare hand and hit his head. He fell. On the way down he hit the back of his head on a glass table and was unconscious for about 5 min. His brother was there and is a paramedic. The police came and so did the ambulance, but they declined to go to the hospital. A week later, the guy I punch went to the hospital cuz he was having headaches and had surgery for a fracture on the back of his head due to the fall, and had swelling in the front of his brain. He had no insurance. I figured his bro should have not waited a week to take him in, especially if hes a paramedic. How much at fault am I 4 this?

Last night about one hour after eating, I got severe cramping in my left abdomen. I thought it'd go away once I sat down, but it only got worse through the night. In the morning I felt fine, but then again around 1 it returned. This time, with the same amount of pain, but the pain has no spread to cramping and sharp stinging pain around my left breast along with my left abdomen. My stomach is bloated also. What could it be?

I have frequent headaches and have for a few years now. Sometimes I'll get more than one a day and have at least one a day for a few weeks, other times I go a few weeks without one. My headaches aren't debilitating at all but the weird thing is that they move. It may start out at the front of my head and move to the back or side, anywhere on my head is fair game apparently. There is no consistancy in the type of pain, either. Sometimes it's a throbbing pain other times a sharp pain. My mother also has frequent headaches although hers are debilitating and not as frequent and she's on medicine for them. My dentist suggested that my headaches may be from the alignment of my teeth (my upper and lower teeth rest almost directly on top of each other).

Does anyone recognize what the headaches may be from or how to stop them?

My back constantly cracks, and I have continuous pain in my lower back (near the hip, just above the ***) closer to the right side. I got an x-ray done and nothing came up, I went to a chiropractor for a year and it did nothing. My next step is a CAT scan, anybody have any solutions as to why and how I can change this problem?

I lift weights and exercise alot as well, but this problem began shortly before I actually started working out, but it has just gotten worse since then. It's not a sharp crippling pain, but more of an annoyance. It just concerns me that when I'm not sitting straight for a while, and then (after a while) straighten my back, it crack in the area in which there is usually pain. Similarly, when I purposely crack my back (stretch it from side to side) I get several (about 10) loud cracks out of my back. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a little lower than my stomach. Its not my appendix because thats on your right side. But ya know how bruises are kinda sensitive when you push or poke them? It feels like that, but very minor. Should I excercise? To be honest, the most excersice I do is marching all summer long with band, but I think it might be from not being flexible and not being fit. My daily foods arent looking so healthy either even though i eat grapes and carrots like a crack addict lol. I also get more car sick these days, but I never throw up. Im 12 going on 13 and I need to know whats going on. Give me tips, every idea you can think of, things I should do, sources...just anything is appreciated. Thanks! : ]

My 9 yr old broke his tibia and had the cast removed last wk, after being on for 6 wks. Now he's in a boot for 3 more wks, still no weight bearing. So here's my question: I've noticed his "bad" ankle (the one that was in the cast) is bigger than his good one. It's not the whole leg, just the ankle area. And it's not something you would necessarily notice unless he's holding up both feet side by side. Why is this? I was expecting the broken one to be smaller, if anything, than the good one.

Just FYI: he's a very cautious kid, I know he hasnt beared any weight on it. And he's not complaining of any pain, just the stiffness you would expect after being in a cast for a while.

Thanks a bunch for any thoughts/facts/info!

My leg cramps mostly cleared up and my dad thought I might have been dehydrated drinking alot of water helped alot and most of the cramps are gone but a little over a day later I still have a dull cramp in my thigh.

Is this just a residual cramp or should I just cave and see my doctor?

None of my symptoms fit a blood clot and I'm not in pain but the leg still feels kinda weird
