I have a horrific pain right under my breast spreading across the whole right side of the rib. Could it be a rib problem? I know I was seriously stressing muscles for about 3 days straight, muscles I haven't used in a while ,plus I had a cold with constant hard sneezing and hard coughing.
Thanks

As a child we had an ottoman with thick "feet" on it, It was a few feet into the living room, I would wack my pinky toe nearly every day on that thing. No wonder my pinky looks abused! Anyone?

Can it be just pulled, not torn and how do you fix without surgery?

I'm having pretty severe pain in my lower back, on the left side of my spine, and then down my leg. All signs point to a herniated disc. I'm not sure if I should just call my PCP or a chiropractor or an orthopedic doctor or what. I'm pretty sure whoever I do see will just give me an MRI and hopefully just physical therapy or something, but I want to make sure I go to the right kind of doctor.

I fell down my stairs yesterday and banged up my left arm pretty good. I went to the hospital and they x-rayed it and said it wasn't broken, but then put me in this wonderful splint and told me to leave it on until I could follow up with my doctor.
The splint is making me nuts!!! If nothing is broken why would they do this?

I was hit by a car two months ago and got the cast only a month after the accident because it wasnt stable (besides i have a rod and 5 screws in there now). Went to see surgeon a couple of days ago and he said it was ok, but i didnt see absolutely no changes in x-rays. (two biggest brakes have about 5mm space between parts of the bone).
Are those spaces supposed to be there that big at all?
And according to my surgeon i am gona have the cast on for 3-4 months total. There is no muscle already after just a month. What is gona be there in 2-3 more?

I looked in the other questions and did not find an answer. All the references I saw for plantar fasciitis talk about the heel, and that is not where my pain is. It is right in the middle of the sole of my foot when I put weight on my foot a certain way, and especially if I put weight on my toes. It feels like a pulling that is shocky or stingy. What could it be, and how is it treated? I have not put any unusual stress on it, but have begun a workout program that I don't want to stop. Any answers?

I intend to see my doctor tomorrow, but I need to know if I should be doing more tonight.

I lost my footing today and landed hard on my left knee cap. I came straight down, nothing twisted or bent the wrong direction. I suspect it's nothing more than a very deep bruise because I was able to hike the half mile back out of the canyon with little trouble. (The downhill bits hurt more than the uphill bits, if that means anything.) Since I got home, I cleaned the abrasion with peroxide, and have been applying ice at intervals. I took 400 mg of Ibuprophen about 6 hours ago, no other meds. And I've been staying off of it for the most part and keeping it elevated. It is currently slightly swollen, not much in the way of visible bruising, but it now hurts like hell to try to put my weight on it. (I'm using crutches.)
Should I wrap it? Is there anything else I should be doing?
I appreciate any help... again I'm seeing my doc for x-rays tomorrow.

First i gotta ask to give serious answers to a serious question.
I had a huge argument with psycho ex cuz she's still living with me and won't leave and I went to the gym... in my state of rage i lifted really heavy and really hard to vent out my anger.... now i've been cursed with this huge hemeroid the next day after (great now i got two lol) ... its been like two weeks and its hasn't gone away. It was like really bad and now is smaller but it still hasn't gone away and i'm begining to get worried. It doesn't hurt or itch like they can get but still worried its not going away. I stopped weight lifting since and i'm getting edgy not going to the gym... why hasn't it gone away? I don't want to go to the doctor any other idea's?

My massage therapist wants me to do structural integration. I have fallen arches, I suffer from IT in my left knee, I run and cycle and am really hurting these days. The left side of my body is really tense even though my right side is dominant. She has done it and said it worked for her, she did my feet a little bit tonight and she said it was working. I can't tell, but then again, I am not very in tune with that kind of stuff.

I googled Structural Integration, and there are a lot of links, but nothing really saying firmly if it works or not. I would like to hear definitive no's too, otherwise, I am worried that it is not drastic enough for the cost.

Make sense? Help!

i tripped and hit my big toe on a stair really hard and it hurt really, really badly. it's been about a week and it still hurts on the joint and just below, on the bone. There is a small bump on the bone that hurts when I put light pressure on it. Sometimes when I walk, it hurts a lot and also, when I wore some 3 inch heels, it hurt pretty badly. It doesn't hurt like crazy anymore, but could it be fractured or jammed? what do you think?

I had a fracture on my cunieform bone of the first toe and that has healed (according to the xray). But I had a couple of bones floating around near the navicular bone that they removed. But my toe still hurts and foot. So I went back to the doctor and he said that I have capsulities in the toe joint. So okay he gave me Reflan for a month - still have pain but not as bad with the medicine. My toe still hurts with pain radiating up - and when I walk - every once in awhile it will just give me a stabbing pain and I can't put weight on it. Sort of like giving out, that feeling. There is no swelling except below where the doctor cut into my foot. Help please.
