I joined the drill team in my school and i spin rifles alot practically every day. they're sorta heavy for a little kid like me.

two weeks after i started my left arm started hurting around the elbow and i couldnt extend it and make it straight as easy as i used to. sometimes when the pain is alot, it gets stiff and i have to try harder to make my arm straight and the elbow pops.

whats going on? and how can i fix it?

I can get by on around 6 hours sleep per night. However occasionally I feel so tired in the evening that I get an early night (around 10.00pm) - yet still only sleep maybe six or 6 and a half hours. Does your body really know how much sleep you need and do you always wake up when your body decides that it is rested enough (if there are no interruptions to sleep) Sometimes I can go back to sleep for another hour or so - but often feel more groggy as a result. What are the scientific facts please?

Does any one know if soda cans are clean and safe to put our mouths to when taking them out of the boxes, or whereever they are? does any one wash them prior to drinking and why?

I had an epidural/spinal 3 weeks ago for a c-section and he had to stick me 4 times until he got it. It kills me and it's so hard when I have to take care of my newborn and she weighs 10lbs! Anyone else have a ton of back pain 3+ weeks after an epidural?

Somebody at my work place passed out, and they don't have any history of blood pressure problems or anything. As a matter of fact, his most recent physical was just a couple of months ago, and his doctor said he was fine. When he came to, he said he had struck his elbow on one of the shelves in the office. He had the cold sweats and a pale complexion, but then seemed fine. I've never heard of that . . .

i overused my arm, and my dminant arm is really weak now. i play basketball and im serious about this its been 2 and a half month since i got this injury. massage therapist said i also have damaged tissue around right back of my back. so that is why it was causing the weakness on my dominant arm. cuz the blood really didnt flow back to my arm very well. i also kept playing video games since i got this injury. but no bball. im soo frustrated, beacuse its still not healed yet. massage therapist said "its not a serious injury, dont worry about it".im just wondering if im gonna get 100% strength back. like do these kind of injuries fully heal?? (ive never expierenced any severe pain". im not really sure why its causing the weakness on my dominant arm but one day i got my ipod stolen. i got really stressed. too much. and since i got this injury i worried too much about it. im 15 years old. my main question is that if this is going to fully heal and my shoulder makes that clickin sound when.

I'm thirteen years old, and I do cross country, and I stretch before running always. Since this morning I've noticed that my knee has been feeling weird. It feels like the knee cap is kind of out of place, and it hurts. I can only straighten my leg out out half way, and when I walk I have to limp. Yesterday I ran a cross country championship meet, so maybe I just pulled something, but I'm not sure. When I attempt to straighten it out, it hurts right in the middle of my knee--not exactly the knee cap, but the tiniest bit farther down my leg, like right under it. I don't know if there's a tendant or something below the bone that I might have injured...? It doesn't hurt on any other part of my leg except on my knee when I try to stretch it. Do you have any idea what this is or how to treat it????
I also have shin splints so if you know any stretches to treat that please let me know.
Thank you! ☺

I purchased this Sealy True Foam 11" mattress a couple of months ago, because of my back pain, but instead I got much worse and also my husband start having back pain! So we switch back to the old mattress (just a regulat spring firmer mattress) and we actually got a little bit better. Just recently we went back to the place we bought it to see if we could take it back ( and probably we can't because of their non-return policy) and we got to learn that we picked up the only mattress they have on the floor that does not offer back support! Same thing will be with the Tempur-pedic brand: this is what they said! So, I'm wondering, is there anybody else out there that experience this problem before? Obviously, we got it because it's "supposed to be sooooo good for your back, a better sleep.... Thanks!

(Was posted yesterday night, but figured re-doing it today would get more exposure)

I never got the lump (about dime-sized) checked out, due to it never changing size, or causing pain (just very mild discomfort if it's hit directly). Anyways, a few days ago, it suddenly started hurting, even with slight touch, and the redness has increased since. Any clue what might be going on? (I have already scheduled a doctor app, but it's not until Nov. 6th, so I'm curious!)

I forgot to mention....the lump itself has been there for YEARS, that's what I mean when I say 'old'.
I don't think it's a ''boil'', since what I've read about them is "A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard." I've had the firm & hard lump for years before any tenderness occurred.
I don't think it's a simple ''ingrown hair'', either. The area seems too large for something like that. (dime-size)
