I had to ask my boyfriend was I walking properly. After a couple of days it totally went. Now its coming back its mostly on the right side of my lower back, what could it be?

I am 14 and I was playing football during gym class today and I didn't catch the football right. pain radiated through my finger and it hurt so bad I almost cried. I had to hold my finger for like 20 minutes and whenever it hangs down it hurts so bad. I had ice on it for half the day bu an hour and a half after I take the ice off the finger starts to hurt again. It hurts when I bend the finger, when I move it around to much and it only really feels good w/ice on it. I need a solution so I don't have to keep getting ice at the nurse tomorow. I'm thinking of taping my fingers together but should I tape the pinky finger to the finger next to it. the one next to the pinky is the one that hurts but the pinky kind of hurts too. how do I tape it and do I need padding under both fingers or will tape be fine. It hurts so bad please help. I think I'm going to go get some more ice soon though because it has only been an hour and a half and it's hurting again. If I tape it together tomorow do you

If so did you stop smoking and what were the side effects if any? I am about to start taking it and want to know from someone who has taken it before.

I had whiplash last year, and I had an exam to write, so I just went to my campus health centre. I was treated by a physio student who didn't really know what she was doing, and was really sore afterwards. Whenever I get stressed the whiplash flares up again: the whole right side of my neck is stiff, and my neck vertebrae click when I stretch.

The stiff neck must be some kind of muscle damage, so I'd imagine a physio is better for that. I also had very good treatment for whiplash from a physio once before. But the clicking gives me the idea that one of the vertebrae is still a bit out of place. Also, it's a whole year after the accident. Does that mean I need to see a chiropractor instead?

Medical insurance will pay for either, so all I want to know is who is more qualified to deal with this.

I have had bad back pain that hasnt gone away despite pain killers. My GP (who I saw today) said he was re-ferring me to see an orthapedic in the local hospital.

I told my other half, & she was talking about it to her mum & her mum said that people have to pay to see them. Is this true???

Or has she got it confused with a cariopractor?

i think i tore a cartilage in my knee about 3 months ago, i really thought my leg would heal and calm down. I have left it soo long.

My leg is still the same i cant bend it or straighten it, there is still allot of pain when i try to straighten it. It has been exactly 3 months and im just thinking maybe i have left it too late?
Do you think the doctors could help me?
3months is a long time, maybe its too late?
