I am a 21 year old healthy male. I am having bad lower back pain and constant leg pain. I go to college, and work part-time at a local restaurant bussing tables now for 3 years. The bussing trays are real heavy, which could probably cause my back problems. This has been going on for 2 weeks now, what should I do? Chiropractor? Doctor?

I am not anemic , but I am slightly clumsy. However, these bruises are really severe and I think it might be something more serious than "I bruise easily."

I was doing aerobics at the gym last week when I noticed my right knee feeling weird. I stopped exercising and later in the evening my knee kept feeling more strained. I still haven't been back to the gym and just figured I pulled a muscle. It's been a week now and my knee still feels the same way. It's sore and feels like a torn muscle. A couple of days ago I first noticed there is a place in my upper right buttock that is extremely sore. Are the two places related to the same injury perhaps? The pain on my knee is on the top inside left side of my knee. Pain only hits me with certain movements. What is this? and how can I get better and get back in the gym?

About 4 months ago I hurt my foot playing football. Someone kicked me on my left foot as I went in for a challenge and it hurt! I had a huge lump on it and it was faint purple under the skin. It hurt when I did everyday things like drive or walk. I went to the doctors after about a week, and she told me I had ripped my tendon/pulled a tendon in my foot?

It seemed to heal 85/90% after 3 months, but still does not feel right. I've been playing football on it now for 3 weeks and there is no pain while running. But someone kicked me on it again and it hurt. The lump, although gone down has now come back and if I twist my foot it hurts. I thought I'd damaged a bone or something... But, it's getting very frustrating now. What could be the problem with it healing?

I was bitten by an insect about a year ago near my right elbow, and a hard bump still resides where the would was. About 3 hours after I was bitten, pain in my hand set in and moved up my arm. I had not noticed the bite at this point and the pain moved up to my shoulder. It stopped there and has left a lump about 1/2". I noticed a dead small brown spider near my bed right where my elbow lies. This took place in an old apartment in Seattle. Does anyone know of any possible culprits? Thanks

I'm 23 and today I got lost on a walk and ended up walking 2 miles or more. After about 1 and a half hours of walking my hips and knees started hurting. Now that I've relaxed and taken some pain meds my knees don't hurt but my hips are still in excruciating pain. Could this be the onset of arthritis since it DOES run in my family? I am moderately overweight for my height, but this is the first it's EVER been this bad. Then again it's been over 6 months since I've gone on that long of a walk. I dunno just curioous. Especially since I'm only 6 days from being 24 I'm kind of worried!!!

I got injured on the job, my knee. I have been going to the doctors every week, for 7 weeks, and i'm not being treated correctly. I think it's because of my age, im 18, they are not taking me seriously. Should i get a lawyer, and if i do, will they be able to get me my benefits faster, than going through the qualified medical professional provided by the state.

My daughter was inhaling a helium balloon and passed out for a second. She is 8 and was obviously freaked out. she felt nasueas and had a headache, so I gave her motrin and she watched tv for about a hour and a half. Should I have taken her to the er? she did hit her head on the floor so it did hurt but there isn't a lump. What should I look for? should I wake her periodically during the night?

About 8 Months Ago, Both of My Knees started hurting. One slightly more than the other. I think it may have been caused by some new type of squats I was doing at the gym. (I work out 5 times a week). Now, one makes a creeking sound anytime I bend it. I went the the Chiropractor and he took X-Rays and didnt see anything wrong, but could hear what I was hearing. Then, he hooked the electrode things on my knees that sent like a pulse of electricity to my knees. We did this 3 times a week for months! Then, he suggested pricy custom shoe inserts. I still feel the same. I can't run for a long time, or take stairs without my knees aching. I've spent around $3,000 so far, and feel like crap! I'm only 25....What should I do?

I'm in my high school track team. My right ankle started hurting when I was running a 350 breakdown at track practice like around February 20th. Could this be a sprain? I've been using these patches my mom uses for her back when she has back pains on it. It's gotten a bit better; my ankle doesn't hurt when I walk anymore although I sometimes buckle a bit. However, it slightly hurts when i rotate it right (it hurts VERY very little.) But when I run, there is a more pain, especially when I push off with it. Is this a sprain or is it something more severe?

Also, I've used 10 lb ankle weights ( 5 pounds per leg ) like in January/early February but I stopped using them cause I was lazy. could this be the cause?

And are ankle weights bad for you? =[
