My 7 y/o just got home about 10 minutes ago from his dads house and my sons father informed me that my son has broken blood vessels on both sides of his neck and cheak as a result of him holding his breath at school on thursday.
he saw the school nurse adn she wasnt concerned
I looked at his face and want to take him to er to have them do an mri to make sure he is ok. if his blood vessels broke as aresult from holding his breath he losses oxegen correct.
why do kids do this? my son said another kid was doing it so he did it , my ex thinks im overeacting that if somehting was wrong it would of happened already? i disagree
ill waite 10 minutes for a reply then im going
Thank you

In the past three days I have had 2 major calf muscle contractions (fyi they hurt really bad) and my back is killing me in just the top left side. Does anyone know if I should see a chropractor or doctor or should I just keep medicating myself? Please tell me if there is a name for the leg contractions because i have been having them on and off for years

I have a sliver stick in my finger and it's sore. When I yank on it it doesn't come out and hurts really bad. It is just a small sliver and I don't really want to rush to the doctor for it you know?

So I had a soccer game today and im pretty sure at some point my foot was stomped on or driven into the ground cause when i got home it hurt really bad. My big toe was throbbing so i got some icy hot and started to rub it in. I noticed a wierd lump in the tendon leading to my leg. (not sure what its called) So i started rubbing it wondering what it was. Then it poped to the right and i was in major pain. It hurts in my big toe joint all the was down the tendon that popped. I am icing it right now, but i dont know what else i can do. I cant go see a doctor, even though i think i should. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Granted I first noticed this after a night of dancing in 4inch heels but I still don't think this should happen. It's mainly my big toe and my second toe of my left foot that go numb and stay that way for about 2-3 days. Any suggestions on why??

hi. i'm 16 years old. i'm overweight, but to understand that you'd need to know all about something else i have called PCOS...anyway...lately i've been getting extremely painful leg cramps in all parts of my leg (my foot, calf, side of my leg, and inner thighs) and frequently too (several times a night). what's causing this?? i havent started taking any medications, my diet hasn't changed, i haven't gained any weight, my daily routine is exactly the same as its always been. it's really freaking me out.

i have been told i have fibromyalgia.
in the past 6 months i've gone from being able to move boxes & furniture to now can hardly lift my arms to wash my hair.
can barely pick up my purse.
frustrated since i can no longer do 99% of what i was able to do in the springtime.

also still have pain all over,
even a fan blowing air against my skin hurts
everything hurts
can't even use eating utensils properly.
any ideas would be helpful.
thanks

I am 17, been doing alot of cardio work out recently, swimming, cross trainer etc...But this isnt a muscle ake feeling. Some times its like a small stinging feeling, not pain, just like a light sting. Some times it feels like a air bubble or trapped air. This is like 80% on left 20% on right. Can anyone explain it. The feelings were there before the execersise tho.

This questiuon is about my husband and his awful headaches.
Brief history- 5 yrs ago he started to get headaches and migranes, went to docs had MRI scan all clear told 1 in 5 people have migrane so just get on with it, things got worse head aches lasted for 2 weeks at a time, back to docs husband demanded to see specilist, had more scans which where all clear told he had tension headaches given low dose of Amitrityline which has increased to a high dose ( he takes this everyday and when he has a migrane he has to take 10mg of Maxalt (Rizatriptan).
My husband still gets headaches everyday he takes normal painkillers as well ( we have checked and this is ok along side his normal medication).
I know the specilist is doing his job and I have looked at many websites but do you suffer something similar and how have you learned to deal with it? have you had or heard of surgery for this ? Any serious ideas/help/advice this is affecting my husbands quality of life.
Thanks in advace.

I'm going off of two and a half hours of sleep for the next 12 or so hours. What is a tried and true method to staying awake and not feeling like complete crap? Anything, even temporarily unhealthy (though not life threatening...and not crack...) would do.
