Hello

I've had this pain for quite a while now and it is really annoying me. I get the pain mostly when I get mad or are nervous. I am not sure if it has something to do with my nervous system.

Well, here it is:
It's like this sharp, clot-like pain on the upper left side of my chest, near the nipple. When I burp, it seems to go away.

I already went to the doctor and he said my heart was fine after doing that EKG test. They also said it was not a clot.

Now...

I am not having pain in my chest today, but it feels like the pain is now in my stomach. What in hell? Do I have a tumor? Is it traveling? What is this pain?

Ahhhhh!

I have hip pain which is continuing to become more severe. It was only my right hip that was giving out on me, but now my left one gave out. I literally had to crawl up the stairs in my house tonight. I'm worried because I have a one year old daughter that I carry up and down the stairs and don't want it to give out. I have also had trouble sleeping from the aching in my hip joints for about a year, which of course gets worse when it is cold. I am 28 and yes I am overweight. I know the most obvious and beneficial thing is to lose weight, but that is going to be a long term goal. Should I be more concerned? Should I speak to my doctor about this? Any kind of leg, thigh, or hip exercises I can do? I am so worried because I have read that some hip damage is irreversible. Damn, I'm scared. I'm to young.

I was running up a flight of stairs when I suddenly felt extreme pain in my leg around the joint area. I'm guessing because I went into a sudden jolt of vigorous activity by running up the stairs when just a second ago I had just been standing there.

Recently, every morning, 5-10 minutes after waking up I have started developing headache in one side of the head (either sides). I feel pain behind one of my eyeballs and the headache starts developing from there on. The area around my eyebrow bone feels tense and strained, as do my temple on that side. My blood pressure has been 140-90 for last many years and above average sugar levels (not clear diabetes yet). My age is 30 and jog 5-6 Kms every day. Do have an asthma which is under control with beclomethasone inhaler.
This headache subsides after taking paracitamole, but persists if no medicine is taken.

Can anyone please help in diagnosing this?

I'm 16, and I was anorexic. I excersized a couple times a week, and barely ate. I stopped this time of year last year because I had a hard time breathing (felt as if something was pushing on my chest).

Now, I eat plenty, and I regained all my weight back (thankgoodness). My breathing is tons better, but sometimes when I eat, my heart goes really fast. I don't know if this will stick with me forever, but it's a really scary feeling. Do you believe this is something that will go away in time, or something I will have forever for damaging my body like an idiot I was?

I am 29 with really bad degenerative disc disease on three levels S1-L4-5. I have tried everything, physical therapy, pain killers, exercises and nothing works. I'm scheduled to have a multi level fusion at the end of the month and I'm scared out of my mind. From what I have read this extensive surgery is rarely done, but my doctor thinks it will help. I just want to feel my age and be able to walk around . Am I crazy for doing the surgery?

I am supose to get a sgimoidoscopy and need to schedule it but in the meantime the left side is killing me. This has gone on for a few months now but tonight it is really bad. It is hard to the touch and you can see it is distended compare to the other side. Without being to graphic I will just say there is major changes in bowel also.
Any ideas what would cause this? why it is rigid? and there is pain?

I remember in school, we had a blood drive, and it was mainly the seniors that went, but when I'm that age, I would like to donate blood. Is the age 18 or 16? I'm asking because of the drive we had at school, they wouldn't come to a high school if no one was old enough, right? I remember them saying you had to be a certain weight too?

For a few months I have been having hip/thigh bone pain in my left leg. The pain is way worse when I am resting or at night. At first the pain was mild but now it is moderate and even severe at times. I also get pain going down to my knee and in my buttox. The pain is coming from my bone.

At first the pain used to come and go but now its almost there all the time (worst when resting and at night)

PLease dont suggest growing pains as I very much doubt it is.

My right hip also hurts sometimes in the bone too - although it is far less painfull then the left. I can pop out my right hip too.

My left hip feels tender to touch like there is a bruise/ but there is no bruise. I also have a limp but Im not sure what its from?


Im worried cause the pain is coming from my bone and is really painful. It is like a throbbing pain.


What could this be/// and what should I do? I've told my mum and she said shed take me to th doctor when she gets a day off work.


Thanks

I can't avoid it cracking; just moving it causes it to crunch and crack. Do you think it's osteoarthritis?
