Over the past couple of days i have been getting a pain in my left leg, mostly behind my knee and down the back of my leg. Any suggestions as to what this could be? I have high cholesterol if that makes any difference (hopefully not though!). I havent banged it, sprained it, pulled a muscle or anything like that so im pretty much at a loose end!
Any help would be great - thank you :)

Sometimes I get nervous for no reason resulting in me getting a really bad stomach ache and then needing the toilet. I've finally found out it's not food, it's emotion that triggers it off however I find if I relax the pain will go. However, my stomach goes into a defense, worry kind of position which causes the pain to come back...

When im distracted and forget about the pain, it goes but its hard because the pain is strong, it's hard to forget.

What can I do?

Thanks alot in advance

Over that past few days I have noticed I have had a pain on the left side of my chest, near the top of my ribs. It is worse when Lying down or sitting and it comes and goes. The pain is not unbearable but it is certantly there.
I have been to the doctor recently because I have had abdominal pain and blood in stool. Should I tell him about this symptom too, or is it probably nothing to worry about,
Does pain in the chest point anything out??
Thanks

I will be doing my usual task and at one point I'll get a cut or something and won't know it until I see the blood dripping out.

It is said that if you have pain in Achilles tendon you should put on ice. It is just to stop the pain or is there also a healing function?

I had direct knee to pipe contact and now it hurts to bend my knee pretty much at all. Keeping the leg straight keeps me from any pain, but the pain is pretty severe with any movement. If you poke it, it doesn't hurt and the kneecap feels fine. It seems like it is something inside the knee. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow but just wondering what type of injury im looking at, any suggestion is welcome, thanks!

It just all of a sudden started tonight and it comes and goes. However it seems to come when I'm trying to go to sleep. It kind of moves all around, from my shoulders to my side, to the front, to my back, but all on the left side. And when it's worse is in the lower back, just above my bottom. Any ideas?

The dorm room I'm in has triple furniture (bunk beds), and since I am not used to being in such a cramped room, I have accidentally hit my head several times against the beds (one has a desk underneath it, everytime I want to work at that desk I accidentally hit my head). It has been two days and the pain is still excruciating. I have been taking Advil, and I have just started icing the area as well. Help! I don't know what to do.

Im 4 months pregnant and I get bad migrains. I throw up and start shaking. I get chills then I start sweating. I have tried tylenol and going to sleep but I wake up and still have the migrain. What is causing this and is it normal.

will taking a lot of tylonel (basically 2-4 pills a day for a week every month, i have major pains between periods and during periods), will this eventually make me immune to tylenol in the long run? the more i take, the more i'm afraid that it won't help take the pain away in the future

I just had a wisdom tooth removed and am taking Hydrocodone for pain right now. The label says HYDROCO/APAP Tab 7.5 500. I have a mild fatty liver and wanted to know if It would be bad to keep taking this stuff. Its says once every 4 hours, but It seems one does almost nothing, so I've been taking 1 1/2 or 2 and thats been working. Is this going to cause more damage or should it be OK? I just have another days worth of pills left.

I am having what I believe to be nerve pain in my right arm. It goes from my shoulder into my fingers but is most pronounced in my forarm. I have a thyroid problem (tumor on the right of my thyroid and I had a biopsy done and the results were non diagnostic because the did not get enough cells) and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced something similar?

in weekend i've found out what's going on.
normaly cuz we're in weekend i've to wait two more days to go to my doc.
i just wonder if it's too long.so if u have any knowledge or idea in this area,tell me is an emergency treatment is required and i should find my doc,no matter how as soon as possible.or it's not that much emergency case & with some care i can survive 2 more days.without any thing bad happen.
PS:the pain is not very killer!
