Hi please tell me things on how to cure or help a strep throat.
I am 10 years old, not in leap years.

and I'm gifted so ill know at least some main things.
But please just make it a little easier so a 5th grader can understand.

I have fibromyalgia and driving causes me a lot of pain, but my job requires a lot of driving. I can't seem to find a good car seat cushion to help. All the ergonomic (sp?) cushions seem to be for your back, not your butt, which is where my pain is. Any ideas? I'm already using support gloves for my hands and wrists so it doesn't hurt so much to keep my hands on the steering wheel, but my hip joints keep locking up.

Do you think that stuff works? Here's the link to the video about it if you don't know what I'm talking about:

i was playing basketball yesterdat,and me and my friend were running after the ball and we slammed into eachothers heads real hard,he hit me directly in the forehead and on the left side of my neck. That night i was dizzy and everytime i started looking around i felt like my eyes were crossing and i felt like caved in because of the way i was looking around. And now today i have a headache,my left ear hurts(above where i hit my neck)and i feel like i have the flue(but i took a flue shot before so i know i dont). BUt i was wondering if i had a concussion,or if i was showing symptoms of one. Im 16 years old.

About a week ago, my knees felt like that locked up during "activities" with my hubby, and I since have not done anything like that, but yesterday my knee on my left side started hurting, and today i woke up with it aching so bad it hurts to bend it at all, if I sit down I literally cannot lift my knee upwards, stairs are really excruciating, and now the pain in radiating up into my thigh and my hip hurts! Whats the deal? Any ideas? Should I go to the doc? Ice or Heat?

My shoulders, neck, and jaw is stiff so I went to my doctors and he said I had a shot 2 years ago. The next day I went to the hospital and the doctor said I should be fine cause the wound wasn't red. What can cause stiffness if I had my shots or could it just be stress? What else can I do?

I have some gas underneath the bottom of my ribs and it is causing extreme pressure and discomfort. This has happened to me before, but I can never find relief. Heating pads do not work at all. I took a Gas-X pill, and I am yet waiting for results.It just feels as if my ribs are going to break! Help!

Im 14 and i have upper back pain at moments but they go awya when i move around and when i drink water, but when i don't move or sit the pain comes back. the pain is mild, i do tend to slouch in my chair and i think i have a bad posture. The pain feels weird and i don't want to go to the doctor unless i have too.

I also get pain sometimes in my lower left back side, but it goes away when i drink water or eat a lot. the pain goes away also when i laugh or have a good time. Wierd right?

The other thing is that i got pain this morning in my pelvic area on the left and it hurt like a b****! When i got up to urinate and release the demon i felt a little better. I passed gas in the morning a lot and the pain is gone. It comes back a couple time. I do tend to hold it when i have to go because the teacher doesn't let me go.

I've gone to the doctor and they say im fine that they can't find nothing wrong with me. Maybe because im lazy idk. I would apprecitate the help thanks.

like,
for example, my legs are like toothpicks when i wake up, and my hands are all stiff but throughout the day, my legs get a little more fat in them and my hands get thinner or like it was easier to move and everything. does everyone go through this?
i even have single eye lids in the morning but then double after a while. is it because my body is not fully awake?

I have a 32 degree curve in my lower back when. I have to wear a brace when I sleep. It was very uncomfertable at first , but now it's more comfortable. The doctor recently said it was better looking than normal for people. Does anyone else have scoliosis? How long did it take you to get used to it? I had really bad pains from the seams of my clothes going into my leg, but know I wear all seamless clothes.
