General Health Care - December 2007

I have a few sprain injuries that ache from time to time. Two are from high school where I once sprained my ring finger (10 years ago) and my left ankle (9 years ago) and then the other is from a little more than a year ago when I sprained the top of my foot. Sometimes they ache, and my foot just downright hurts from time to time.

Anyone else experience this with old sprain injuries?

I went to the ER about my foot but not the other two cases if that helps.

Could it be from the arch supports I have to where. Or is something else just falling apart. Did not have this problem until I got some better shoes and arch supports that help control the plantar fasciitis problem. At first I just figured it was arthritis, but it's the muscles, tendons, ligaments, I don't know, surrounding my kneecap that hurt. Help..........and thank you.

Hes 71 I think. Past 3 days bes been complaining about his back pulling on the right side. He gets up at 4 am and moans more. I think it has gotten worse. But our mattresses in the house will kill you. I always end up waking up once in a while with a kink in the neck. Or start tossing and turning.

Hes had back problems in the past in his lower left back. This is in the right part middle back. Thats the side he was sleeping on. So I dont think its anything serious, Its just the moaning in pain getting to me lol

Should he take some aspirin and sit up straight and wait for it to go away?

I broke my toe yesterday, and they gave me vicodin. I believe its a low dosage because it doesnt seem to help; what works well in between doses of vicodin to help control the pain?

I keep getting a pain in my chest, it is in between my heart and collar bone on the left side. It feels like a stabbing pain, and is much worse if I take a deep breat/expand my chest.
Although this is not a frequent problem at the moment it does keep happening and is always in the smae place. I am only 21 and otherwise fit and healthy, what could cause this and should I be worried?

I am 27 years old and for the last 4 days I have been having problems walking. It is both sides and sitting is not as bad as walking but it is like a brick sitting on both sides of me when I am not moving. It hurts really bad when i walk, in the morning its really bad and I am walking like an elderly person lately. sometimes I have to walk so weird and slow as if I had a disability. Im not making fun of anyone but that is how i have been. I have not done anything out of the ordinary, like running or wearing heels, havent been dancing or anything. I dont know. I could cry at times it is so bad. Well, im sure my sweetie will take care of me when he gets back in 2 days from afghanistan. Im trying to be ok. Please help if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi all! I drive 3 hours round trip to go to school 3 days a week. At first, I experienced neck discomfort just when I'm driving and I didn't care too much. But now my neck hurts! Like when I move my head in a certain direction, I can feel the pain around my neck and upper back area. I've been adjusting my seat for like half a year now and my seat does have lumbar support and head rest. What's going on?? I just wish my neck pain can go away.

I had shoulder surgery about 5 weeks ago. Initially I was doing really well for 2 weeks or so. Now my shoulder is killing me and my range of motion has decreased. I had a pain pump after surgery and have read alot about them causing problems with damage to the shoulder. Does anyone know if it is possibly from the pump or something else? Supposed to go to dr next tuesday but desperate to relieve pain now. By the way I have been to therapy 3 times a week for past 4 weeks.

I've been playin tennis at least 3-4 days a week since May, and just a few weeks ago i started getting shin splints in my right shin, and now just today my left leg is getting them to (i am right handed) I was at the docor yesterday getting fitted for orthodics...he said that would help because the bones in my feet aren't coming together and forming hard when i step and that is causing leg promblems. The orthodics will most likely correct this, but i was just wondering what i could do in addition to strengthen my shins/legs
