I will NOT wear anything all day that "traps" my toes.

Are there good sandals out there with good support?

Is there a way I can wrap my arch, heel & ankle up so I don't have to wear shoes all day?

What about the various arch supports at drug stores?

Which ones work the best & which are worthless?

HELP!

It's not too bad yet & I don't want it to get too bad!

My sister likes to run, dance, and walk a lot and she just started complaining about pains in her lower leg. She is about 5'2" and is 16. she probably weighs about 110, and has not recently taken a fall or tripped. There doesn't seem to be a reason for the pain. she says that the pain is in the right leg, and when she shows me the leg she runs her hand across the shin and says it stops short of the knee. she gets this after walking or dancing for a while and then sitting down, or when she bends her knees up to her chest when trying to sit on the floor. What is this pain? Is it Shin splints? Or is it just Groing pains?

I fell out of a tree and hurt my ankle somehow. Basically I twisted it I think, but it's not hurt that bad and I can walk and everything, so why does it look like there's a baseball embedded under my skin? Am I hurt worse than I think? I am putting ice on it and took Advil.

FYI, I did rescue my airplane :)

I have a virus right now.
But I don't understand how codeine is making me better.

I actually don't feel like I'm getting any better either.

I don't seem to be getting it right. I have this constant ache radiating from the center of my forehead. What do you do when you have a headache? Have you found any treatment to be really effective for you?

So; I was about to shower and had a VERY strong pain on my lower abdomen. It may have been cramping; but I got off my period a few days ago... and, if they are cramps, they are severe.

The pain lasted about a minute and a half and slowly faded away, but I was in so much pain I could hardly breathe or speak. Then, it happened again about a minute later... this time a little bit longer and a little bit worse. Through the pain, I was feeling like I was going to throw up and began getting dizzy. I finally got into the shower where I got so lightheaded I had to get out, lay down for about five minutes, and get back in.

Please do not just tell me to go to the doctor. I want at least a slight diagnosis so I can look up the symptoms.

It happened about 30 minutes ago and hasn't happened since. I'm still slightly light headed, but not severely.

Does my period have something to do with it? I get my period every 10-14 days and they last a week. (Putting more in More Details.)

Started suddenly last week. Horrible pain in my lower left shin. Walking makes it worse, but it's BAD just sitting or lying down. No injury, no bite, no overuse. About 2 inches of the bone is very sore to the touch. I've taken every OTC pain med and soaked it, tried Aspercream, IcyHot......nothing gives me any relief. I just keep hoping it will go away as suddenly as it arrived--it just gets worse. I know, I need to be seen. I'm asking if anyone else has ever had this?
Thanks.

My husband got bit by a spider about an hour ago. As he went to put on his shoe he felt a sting & then he said he felt something move inside his shoe.. he freaked out & took it off, & when he did he seen the spider.. He shook it out without thinking, & smashed it to hell..lol.. but brown recluses are VERY bad in my house.. in fact, the only kind I've ever seen in here, well with the exception once of a wolf spider.. He went ahead & went to work, but I'm worried.. will the symptoms show up later? Will they not if it wasn't a brown recluse? I seen some pretty nasty pics of bites online.. & we don't have insurance.. that's why he doesn't want to go until it's serious, but how will we know & when?

A friend must convalesce for two weeks and is already really bored with TV. They have sore hands so that even holding a book, internet typing, holding a phone etc hurts after a short whle. Any ideas on ways to keep them occupied? I've only come up with playing patience and keeping the pack on the table....

For the past three months I have had LLQ pain which has increased in severity -- the pain now radiates upward in a line to my belly button. The pain feels like a heaviness or weight in my abdomen. From the middle of May until the middle of June, I passed tissue-like clots streaked with blood. I have bad lower back pain, am very fatigued. The pain sometimes "flares" up and becomes even worse.
Last night I went to the emergency room, because of tingling/tenderness on my right side from scalp down to my arm. I blacked out from the pain and was unconcsious for a couple of minutes.
The problem?
I have had pelvic exams, blood tests, pregnancy tests, pelvic and abdominal ultrsasounds and they have all found nothing. The ER doped me up on Demoral and sent me home, saying that nothing was wrong.
I am seeing an internal specialist tomorrow and would appreciate any personal experiences, thoughts or questions which could lead me and my doctor to discovering what is wrong.
