How did you injure your back?

Me? I have chronic low back issues. It started about 20 years ago when I was pulling on a homecare patient. I went one way and he went the other. Poof. There went by back.

So what happened to you?

5 years ago, when I was still very uneducated, I chose to jump off a swing. I landed on the side of my left foot and fell. It was pure agony and I couldn't walk for weeks. I refused to go to the doctor.(very unwise) It hurt for 2 years, and then on and off. Recently it was throbbing, but not a sharp kind, but a compression kind of pain. I don't know what triggered it. In the past 2 years I have also had aquard knee problems also on my left knee. Could these be related? The doctor was stumped and after an MRI said I had bad bruising. Can I do anything for the ankle?

I have a horrible burning feeling on the upper left side of my chest. It's been going on for about 30 minutes now and hurts worse when I move or bend down. What is this? I've already taken a rolaid but that did not help. It is also really hard to breathe. Please help!

For months now, I have noticed my eyes are blood shot when I wake up. I don't wear contacts and no, I am not partying either.

I also have been experiencing episodes of intense heat that instantly radiates from my mid back and a little from my thyroid area too. I get these sometimes several times a day and at night.

I know it is not a product defect because my boyfriend used the same Icy Hot and could feel it, but I reapplied and still could not feel any effect. Is is something with my body chemistry? Can anyone explain this? It is so strange!

I usually get to bed around 11-12 and wake up at around 5:45-6. I feel fine but then on the weekends I feel the need to catch up and sometimes I wake up with a throbbing headache.
Why is that?
Thanks!

i went to the e.r. for some chest pains the other day and they diagnosed me with costochondritis (thank God not my heart LOL). in case you don't know, costo is inflammation in the ribs where they attach to the breastbone or sternum. they gave me some meds to help with pain and they also told me i could use a heating pad to help as well. i am wondering how a heating pad could help inflammation?? isn't that heat already?

For about 4 days now I've been having this discomfort on my right side. It feels tight and ridgid compared to my left, and maybe a bit bloated. Although occassionally I do get sharp pains it's mostly just discomfort. It almost feels numb. It starts just below my rib cage and continues to my waist. Sometimes it does radiate to my back. It comes and goes but I feel it most when I'm sitting or lying down. Sometimes I get little spasmy feelings in the region. I have had no other symptoms. No area discoloration, no change in stool or urine, no constipation, no irregular temp, haven't felt nauseous or dizzy. If I had any of these other symptoms I would go straight in, so I'm at a loss.
Please Help!!

I broke my talus over 35 years ago, and it sometimes gets inflamed and swells. I can't walk and the pain is throbbing and intense. I am looking for a brace that goes up past my knee, and takes the pressure off my ankle while I do my work and everyday activities. Please help, Thank you.

Does it heal completely at the end or the crack still stays?

I have, and I was wondering if anyone knew if sudden changes in the weather affected the condition. Yesterday it was 79 degrees here and I just woke up at 5:08 in the morning and it is 39 and my arms and legs are killing me. Do you know if this is common? Does the weather affect this condition in this way?
Can't list all of the Neuro problems but they are so vast that when my Dr. told me this I just kinda said, OK add it to the list.
Just looking for help.
Thanks and Happy Holiday's ya'll
