when i was in highschool i severely sprained my left ankle, that was over 6 years ago and my ankle never completely healed... it has been doing great for a long while but has recently been giving me problems (in the last week - 2 weeks). it started as the pain you get when you tweak your ankle or step on it the wrong way, then moved to the front (where my foot bends). in the last couple days it has moved to my heel as well. i'm trying to ice it as much as i can, but it's hard to stay off of it as i work 3 jobs that all require me to stand for my shifts... are there any braces that you guys recommend? any stretches or home remedies you know of? i don't have insurance so i try to steer away from the doctor unless its a real emergency...

thanks for any help!

Let's forget about the moral issues here. I'm sure people who have drug addictions do this, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has had a valid medical condition where the pain is so overwhelming that they can't function - and their regular doctor refuses to prescribe anything that helps.
Would you consider trying to find a doctor you knew would give you the meds without question?
I'm starting to understand why someone might do this. I have severe pelvic pain from endometriosis, PCOS and ovarian cysts. I've had multiple surgeries, but nothing even dulls the pain. I was having a severe headache (which is common during my cycle) and saw one of those urgent care doctors. He gave me 15 pills of this medicine, and after 10 years of constant suffering, I finally felt relief. I looked it up and ti was a narcotic though. My doc says I just have to live with the pain, but I don't agree. I was taking 30 advil a day and still was in great pain. Anyone else out there feel the same way?

don't know if i should take all 30 because i heard they are extremely addicting. could i get addicted from one prescription? im just like paranoid about stuff like that because so many kids from my town i heard got addicted to pain killers and then went to heroin (but they also were abusing them)

I recently had knee surgery. My doctor was a provider for my Health plan so I was not responsible for his fees. However, he decided to solicit the help of an assistant from a group who was not in the plan's network. He did this without asking me and now I am to pay over 1200.00 to this Surgical Services Group! Am I responsible? I feel the doctor knew what insurance I had and should have consulted with me before the surgery about using them.

I had a cysit drained on the top of my wrist last November. It came back around mid December and it was almost 3 times bigger, so I went back to the doctor who removed it the first time and he said I would need to have surgery. Well, now it has almost been 6 months since my surgery and now I am getting dull, but painful, pains up and down my palm, mainly in my index finger and thumb, they sometimes go into my arm. It will tingle and after I get home from work it hurts so much I feel like crying. My mom thinks it could be carpal tunnel. I did some research on it and the signs are the same. But could it have something to do with the surgery?

My 5-week old baby boy may have an inguinal hernia and his pediatrician recommended surgery at 6-months. In my reading of this condition I found that suregry should take place ASAP to avoid strangulation of the intestines. Does anyone have any insight to this?

then her foot, knee, and so on. The other day she was playing and said her arm hurt and then it made a POP noise. She hasnt said anything since. Does anyone have any suggestions whether she is really in pain(with her arm)
I know sometimes your joints can stick and hurt untill you bend them again but other than that i dont know what this could be.

My friend had a beetle crawl into his ear and I'm looking for novel ideas on how to get it out. Be creative... Personal injury is not a concern (i.e. use an ice pick and stab the beetle until he is dead) is an alright method for getting said beetle out of said ear. Most creative answer that might work will get the points!!
