It feels like there is fluid in my kneecap. Does that mean the Dr has to drain the fluid and if so will this really get rid of the pain?

For the past 5 days or so I have been feeling slightly light-headed and my balance is not what it normally is; not in a dangerous way, but something just feels off. It all feels like it is in the base of my skull with some slight neck tension; my neck has felt a little strained as well. Has anyone experienced this?

Question for those who suffer migraines. Friday AM i was clearing my throat and ended up gagging myself - i have a VERY SENSTIVE gag reflex - anyway - as it was AM and i had nothing in my stomach - i was retching pretty hard and just white foamy stuff came up - i'm assuming the nasal drainage i was trying to clear. Anyway - when i stood up (i was hovering over my sink b/c i wasn't near the toilet when this happened) i had the worst headache i'd ever had - my face was bright red - i assume from all the blood rushing to it and my sinuses too - anywho - the headache lasted for about 5 minutes - i blew my nose about 5 times and each time it eased the pressure in my head. After the headache intensity subsided, i had this dull achy head all day - it went way Saturday but Sunday it was back but just in the back of my head on the left side - nothing helped it but lying down in the dark room. Today it's just dull - not sure if it's tension from retching or a migraine - anyone?

I started taking Glucosamine & Chondroitin 2 days ago and it has gotten rid of all the joint stiffness and pain. The only thing is im having a itchy rash all over my body. I wanted to ask would this be cause by the Glucosamine or the Chondroitin? Cause Glucosamine can be bought without Chondroitin. And what alternative supplements are there for joint relieve besides this one cause with the skin rash i don't think ill be able to continue.

I was wondering if i should go to a doctor and see if it may have been a hairline fracture that healed wrong or what i should do. I have to wear an ankle brace on both ankles at night because either i want to walk on the side of my foot or it just plain hurts when i am sitting, standing, laying down. Whatever i do it hurt if i dont have the ankle brace on and then after a while i have to take it off because that hurts but then have to put it right back on. Its getting tiresome and well i cant always mess with an ankle brace when i have a boyfriend that has ADHD and always on the go. Any advice will do!!

My granny is in her eighties and her joints are getting weaker each day, especially her two kneecaps, which are really hurting. It really pains my heart to see her condition deteriorate, she used to be able to limp her way around, but now she can hardly walk......knee guards and health supplements for the ligament doesn't seem to work, or maybe this is juz something that the elderly have to bear with as they age......anyone out there with any experience care to share their solutions, or even offer me some things my granny can do, I would like to thank you beforehand because I really do not know what more I as a grandson can do to ease her pain......

I dont know medical terms... so im sure youll understand anyways. My lower back hurts, and sometimes especially getting up from sitting or laying it will shoot a tingling feeling all the way down to my toes, and sometimes it hurts the outside of my thigh... I know I will go to the doctor for it, but does anyone else have any idea what could be going on?

foot and a tear in the other foot? I was playing a game of tackle football with some guys at the park and I injured my foot. I went to the doctor and he told me I had a plantar fascia tear. I have been doing streching, icing, heat massage.. everything I can't think of but the pain is still pretty intense most of the time. Sometimes my foot just throbs and aches. I have recently started feeling similar pains in my left foot as well but not nearly as bad. What can I do? The doctors I go to all seem like complete idiots. I have to go to Veteran's Affairs and not the regular hospital. My foot was injured by getting tackled. I think someone landed on the back of my foot. This happened the middle of June and it's the middle of Dec now. Is there anything I can do? Can I request surgery? What can I do to decrease the pain?
