My legs are driving me nuts. Im 18 years old and am 6'5 and my legs are killing me. They feel like I just ran a marathon. Its not really a bad pain or a numb feeling, its more like a restless feeling. Its very hard to explain. Could these be growing pain cause I have grown over an inch in the past few months and my father was 6'7? Or is this something more serious like diabetes? Its been happening for about a week. Please help.

A few days ago i asked a question about having knots under my arm and someone from this web site said it sound like my body is fighting something. So I would like to know what's something that it could be fighting off that would be the reason for me to have knots under my arm? See at first I was thinking that maybe it was because of my milk get ready to come in. see i'am just one month away from having my baby, the longer the knots are there the more I get scared.

to this with a taper it was doing fine for a few days i was swelling at first but thats normal and went down as the day went on now after like 3 days i didnt clean it one night and i woke up it was sore red i later took it out in the school bathroom ot clean it and blood and pusk came out
i knew it was infected so i cleaned it and and squeezed most of the pusk out and then put my taper back in it didnt get better as the day went on so i mixed sea salt and all of that stuff ui soaked it and applied pressure with cotton balls

My husband has had what I believe from his description to be intestinal cramping for about a week now. He claims to be able to make bowel movements with no abnormality, but just slight discomfort. He has no diarreah, constipation, or any other problems. He just complains about this cramp that seems to come and go, and it is beginning to interfere with his work. If anyone has any idea what this is or what we should do I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

Still think you aren't already paying for someone else's care? That is the average tax burden for each household from medcaid/medicare for illnesses caused by smoking alone.

Have any of you had a broken leg or knew someone who had a broken leg and your/their outlook on everything became negative?

My friend had broken his tibia and fibia broken right below his knee so he has a full leg cast on. I suggest taking him to Saturdays Market (a kinda hickish thing from where Im from which includes outdoor and indoor vendors which sell things) to get him a model car that he can paint and put together when he's bored. He doesnt have any problems getting around what so ever because its been 2+ months that he's had this cast on. He says he doesnt wanna be walking around with people all in his way. So Im like okay. He says, "I like car rides. They're good." Well then I suggest him going up home with me which is a 2 hour drive and he says, "That means I'll have to meet people and when they ask what happened to my leg, Imma have to explain to them for the 400th million time what happened." I cant do anything that'll make this kid happy... HELP!!!

I started getting a cold last week, when the weather went from 75 and sunny to 50's and dreary. It started out with the typical stuff - sore throat, small cough, lost a little of my voice. About 3 days later, it started going away, and I thought that was it. Well, it's been a week since then, and I've still got the cough. I have tried everything. It always gets worse when we go to bed at night, and I either wind up staying up another 1/2 hour to 45 min trying to stop, or wake up later for the same time period doing nothing but coughing. Now, this is bad enough on it's own, but I'm only getting about 5 hours of sleep because of it, and that is just not enough for me. I wind up going to bed around 1 a.m. when I have to get up at 6. I cannot even lay down for a nap, because by the time I stop coughing, it's time to get back up. I've done everything I can think of to get this to go away, with no avail....Any suggestions??? I would really appreciate any help! Thank you...
