I fell down about a week and a half ago and this one side of my rib hurts. Not extreme but still hurts. What can I do. Can't afford to go to the doctor right now. It's not any kind of pain that isn't managable but still. Thanks

I have patellofemoral syndrome in my knees, and I've been working out lately, but they keep swelling up really badly and they're so painful. What's the best way I can help tone down the pain and still exercise as often as I like?

I am not sure what it could be. Never had this happen before. The numbness is just on my big toe on my left foot. Should I be concerned. The only thing that I can attribute it to is the time when I was walking home and wearing a pair of boots when my big toe must have curled under when i was walking and the force of my weight fell on it. When it happened I said to myself "ouch, that hurt." but didn't have any immediate numbness. It looks swollen. Sometimes my shoes rub, but not like this. I hope this is not a sign of diabetes. What do you think? What should I do.

If your bone breaks, what happens inside your body that will make it heal?

When you are outside working and it is cold the slightest bump or scrape that wouldn't be an issue in the summer hurts pretty bad. Why is it that when your skin is cold is it more sensitive instead of more numb?

I was just riding my bike at the park. And I wasn't wearing a helmet because I'm stupid. I fell and hit my head on the concrete. It's tender in one spot and I keep feeling little twinges of pain there. This happened about half an hour ago. I don't feel nauseas or dizzy or confused or anything like that. It's just pain. So I though I might have like a hairline fracture or something. But I'm not sure if that's something worth going to the hospital for.

I have a family history of bad backs, both my Dad and his mother have/had them and recieved treatments and surgery. I've been having trouble with mine especially since having 3 pregnancies with a 40 pound weight increase. I've lost 20 pounds since then and plan on losing 40 more. What else can I do to help? Should I receive treatment from a chiropractor or physical therapist or what? I know my dad does stretches every morning and swims and rides his bike for exercise, should I be doing those types of things?

Hey, I need help, My mom fell while she was taking a walk and I think shes broken her nose. If anyone has taken health classes please help, we dont have insurance, so we can't go to the hospital. Is there anything I can do to treat her? Shes bleeding really bad, and I'm not 100% positive if she broke it. Any help?

if there was anything i could do to make the healing process go quicker, because i really dont like the idea of being in a cast for six weeks even a week less would be better...

I injured my calf playing football(soccer) today. I was trying to get to a ball near the keeper and i nearly got there, and tried to shoot with the outside of my foot. It kind of twisted my calf muscle or something because it began to hurt and I couldnt play for the rest of the match. Now, at home there is much less pain, only a bit when i get up and walk and even then only in some positions. I'd like to know if i can play football tomorrow or is it better to just rest? What should I do to speeden up the recovery process? Please help.

I'm from southern MO. and have had to do more yard work than usual because of the ice strom we had. We had to cut a tree down from our yard and now we're chopping it up into smaller pieces. The muscles for my thumb on my right hand hurt constantly. I've tried using Icy Hot and taking Tylnol but the pain is still there.
Could it be cutting wood that did it and what's some other ways I could try to make the pain go away?
