General Health Care - August 2007

For 4 days, I had leg soreness on the inside of my right leg, right above my knee. It was just sore like I had strained or pulled a muscle. Yesterday that pain was gone, but it had moved down into my calf almost directly below the original spot of pain. I can see a large vein through my skin, and it seems like the pain is just moving down that vein. Has anyone heard of this before? What is it/what should I do?

This is just really strange I think.... I have had my share of tension headaches... my shoulders and the back of my neck, you know.... but this is really wild. It hurts... been lingering around a week or so. Almost feels achey (if that's a word) like when you get sick, the flu or something... but it's not that... it's just constant sore muscles on both sides of my neck.... additionally I have been sore in my arms... upper and lower, like my forearms ?? I've done nothing out of the norm as far as working out or anything.... oh and my feet too... my feet are really tired so much... this is all so "out of the blue". Maybe there's nothing to it, but it's lasted a while now, just wondered if anyone had anything intelligent to throw in. :) Thanks ya'll.

long story short. portions of my rt leg have been numb for an extended period, verying drastically in intensity. mainly my rt ring toe. usually assoc. with a dull ache about the size of a silver dollar in the muscle 1/5 the way down my fibia/tibia at about 1 oclock and about a 2"x3/4" span on the outside edge and top of my foot. had a complete checkup. told the dr the situation and had a complete run of all of my numbers 2x 6mo apart. all of my no.s are well within the ranges that they should be, and are stable. i was thinking it was sugar. my dr thinks that its my siatic nerve. my chiro says no. says that the nerve root that my dr says is inflamed only on extremely rare occasions radiates past the top of the arch to the toe. neither my dr or chiro have fixed the problem. want a sight on seen prognosis and suggested treatments. please post your credentials or if you have had a similar situation. switched to new balance shoes and its better but still there. want it to go away.

Does anyone know a way to work out your chest more with a pushup? Like, i try spreading my arms farther out, and i cant really tell if it makes a difference. I even tried putting my legs higher then the rest of my body.

She stepped on an earring and it stuck in her foot. I cleaned it with an antiseptic and applied Neosporin. Her shots are all up to date. Do you think I should take her anyway?

I live near Orlando, Fl and about 5 days ago I was bite on my forearm near my elbow. I thought it was a mosquito bite at first but i started to get swollen. The surronding area of the bite is bright red and mildly painful. It itches right in the center. I scratched off the scab and white puss came out followed by a clear slimy substance. Now it almost looks like a bruise around it and it starting to spread out. Please if anyone can help in anyway I would appreciate it.

I take one or more showers per day, I always wash my hands numerous times after touching stuff, I clean and dust my room every single day, I keep a clean towel on my pillowcase which I sleep on and change that every other day, I also do other stuff to avoid germs and I ALWAYS think about them! Am I a germophobe or just a clean person? Can you relate to this heh??

My son's old physical therapist is charging ten dollars per page of records to be sent to us. I was wondering if there is usually a charge for sending the records to another doctor instead, once we find a new doctor and therapist at our new home. Thanks,

I sprained my thumb a little while ago, and while the pain is almost completely gone, it feels "stiff" compared to my uninjured thumb. It's hard to explain, I think I have full or almost full ROM, but there just seems to be something restricting or slowing down my movement. Is this normal after a sprain? Is it just something that goes away with time?
