I have been having neck pain for at least on and off for about 7 months. Until recently, I just contributed it to stress and working on the computer a lot. The past 2 weeks it has gotten tremendously worse. Tingling down my right arm...and pain in my neck and headaches. My doctor ordered a c-spine, and of course it came back with Osteoarthritis with some nerve compression. I'm slightly baffled by this diagnosis as I'm only 45 yrs old. My doctor now wants an MRI...(which I went today for) to see exactly what is going on with the nerves and soft tissue.
I'm primarily concerned because of my age...possible misdiagnosis. Although, I will know more in a couple of days based on my MRI findings. Has anyone ever been through this before? I really do not want surgery. I'm hoping that its something that can be managed with physical therapy...and whatever else is non-invasive. Thanks for the help...

I noticed the other day my left ear hurts. Not bad enough to really notice it. But when I take a drink of something (especially something cold) my ear hurts really bad. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with it?

I have a constant (bearable - but noticeable) knee pain / soreness these past few months, and I'm not sure why.

I do not play any heavy sports or anything of that sort. I'm 19 years old, so it shouldn't be a problem due to age...

It's always a soreness in the front of my knees (maybe bottom half of the front around the knee caps?).

The only thing I can think of would be riding my bike - I don't do heavy cycling or anything along those lines - I simply ride my bike to campus and back once or twice a day - it's about a mile away.

I just started riding my bike to campus each day this past school year. The only thing is I believe the bike is a proper fit - it's comfortable and doesn't seem like the seat is too high/too low (maybe slightly too low but hardly at all). I also stay in a low gear, as only the first couple of gears on my bike actually work.

So my knees usually hurt in the front after I do anything that puts any kind of stress on them - ride my bike, sit cross-legged, etc

My fiance is having major pains in his stomach, the left side all the way down to his groin area. He says it feels like sharp pains, like its twisting, or something. He has had this for almost a week. It only happens before he goes to sleep. It lasts atleast 4 to 6 hours, sometimes all night.


What can cause this?
(stress, indigestion, ulcers, dehydration, etc?)
