my former job have to make up the difference in my wages? Also is my former job obligated to also continue my medical benefits even if I am working somewhere else? (like if my new job that is within my restrictions doesn't pay as much as my old job did and doesn't have medical- like my old job)

I have really bad pain in my finer joints especially my right hand? My hands turn really white when they get cold and begin to burn. During the winter my finger joints hurt really bad in the mornings? I am only 19 but I know it could be arthritis but I am not sure so does anyone have any idea what it could be.

I have had it for a week now, and it is starting to REALLY hurt. It is a small white canker sore on the inside bottom part of my lip. I would welcome any ideas to cure it quickly. Thanks!

Although in my 50's I participate in motocross. Sometimes, I suffer terrible cramp afterwards. It usually occurs some 4-6 after I've finished an event. Normally happens if I stand up after sitting or lying down for a while in the evening.I can only describe the pain as excrutiating, and I get it in my inner thigh muscle. What's the best way to prevent it?

I have been walking for excersize and about a week ago I think I pulled a muscle on the outside of my left foot. It hurts to walk on it however it just throbs when I am sitting. Any suggestions to make it feel better. I have tried rubbing it, but that does not help.
I do a lot of walking and sitting at my job, so I am willing to try almost anything!!

Please help.

I know alcohol and medicine is a big no. What about energy drinks?

I have a cold one in the fridge (Sobe No Fear) and am dying to drink it, but should I?

seems fine otherwise, it isn't swollen or anything. Does he need to be seen by the doctor? Should I apply ice to the area?

Hi ! I'm a 40 yr-old male - when I was in my early 20's I suffered a bit with cramp attacks in my calves during the night - if anyone has ever experienced this they will know it is very painful - the muscles in your calf screw up into a tight ball and hurt like hell.

I have suddenly started having these attacks once again - sometimes I wak up in bed and get the odd "twinge" in my leg, and I daren't go back to sleep for fear of moving in my sleep and setting if off, thus having to endure more pain.

Sounds crazy but it's bloody awful - so..............before I see my Doctor, does anyone know of any good remedies for cramp....maybe some herbal stuff or something you can buy over the counter without a prescription ?

Thanks !

I have been taking 300mg of Wellbutrin for a few years and have decided to stop taking it since I ran out of my mail order supply. It's been about 2 weeks, and so far, I think i'm doing well, but I have had some shoulder pain, and numbness in my right hand.

Thank you in advnace for your help.

I've had severe pain in the ankles, knees and hips - and muscle pain in the upper leg since May.

Vitamin D levels are okay.
Lupus tests negative
Thyroid levels normal
but parvo in February

Prescription NSAIDS bring no relief - need a referral to a specialist, but any ideas what this might be other than fibromyalgia?

I am 14 years old and I sprained my wrist and I am currently using an ace bandage. It provides ligth support but It isn't really helping with the pain, because whenever I turn it,move it or even rub my hand over it it hurts. I want to buy a wrist brace but would it help my wrist not to hurt when I move it. The wrist is still tender and swollen but it may help with that too. I sprained it by jumping on the couch and landing on my hands and my right wrist bent too far back.
