What will I do to avoid it?

I have been tested for carpal tunnel twice and nothing which I doubt very much. the numbness has stopped for a few weeks during the night in fingers as I have my arm propped up on a pillow. Now recently have been having pulsating in the base of thumb and sometimes tingling in fingers and still sore forearm. Not taking any medications but rubbing cream which does help at times. Is this arthritis or something else? Please advise am at my wits end.

I've been sick for about 3 or 4 weeks now, just sneezing and stuff. But now my throat really hurts, I think I have post nasal drip, or whatever it's called. What's the best way to get better fast?
[I've been drinking water, but too much makes me nauseous]

I was sledding today when I hit a bump and landed hard on my lower back. I was forced to walk for about another half our back to school and now, there's a shooting pain, in the right side of my back whenever I take a step. If I make a wrong step or get up from sitting, it almost brings me to tears should I go to the hospital?

I have very frequent foot cramps. Mostly on my right foot. It is sooo painful that I almost want to collapse in pain.
It's so horrible, because when I'm laying in bed it'll just happen and I can't move.
I don't have arthritis and I'm only 12 years old.

Is there any way to prevent this, or make it stop faster when it happens?

I was a life guard while in high school so I learned how long, horrible, and painful drowning can be so I don't understand how someone could drown without waking up. Thanks in advance!

I have had joint pain for approximately 6 years now, but it has now gotten worse and I've noticed that its all on my right side. Recently my index finger on my right hand has been swollen and very sore and pain is now shooting from my finger, up across my knuckles, into my wrist and into the thumb. I went to the doctor and he is telling that it sounds like "calciatitis". I dont know what that is, but he did explain that it's a calcium build up in my finger on the bone. Has anyone heard of that before? Is it serious? I am pending blood test results to see if arthritis is in my system.

At my work I have to put these papers into bags, so I am standing in one spot, for about ten to fifteen minutes, and then I have to deliver those bags to 30-50 rooms. At the end of my little escapade my back is killing me. But it is only on the right side, all up and down that muscle. After that, it's gone, but i'm in complete agony for those 30 min. or so. I have really good posture, I could balance a book on my head while wearing stilletos, so I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?
