2 days ago i dislocated my left knee cap for the third time. do you think my orthopedic doctor will request me to have knee surgery?
I have gone through physical therapy twice and it doesnt seem to help. everytime i have thrown it out of joint it was because i turned it weird but this last time i was just sitting there and i moved my leg over and it was out of joint. what do you think caused this to happen????

I have been getting these weird 'brain shocks' that last for a couple seconds, that feel like my brain was zapped. Then all of a sudden, I put on a large amount of weight in a short time, and even through exercise and eating right, I didn't lose anything. (Mind you, i'm 18) Even more recently, my brain seems to be shot. I can't remember ANYTHING, and I have been losing certain words, or trying to call something-something else. And I have been getting about 2 migraines a week. (Not caffeine withdrawals.)Also, I have been strangely exhausted. I can understand that I will be on days I work hard, but sometimes I will take a 5 hour nap, get up for 2-3 hours, then go to bed and sleep for7-8. And now, over the past week, my lower back has been hurting, stemming from my low left side, then spreading across. Starting yesterday, my joints and bones have been aching like crazy, and sometimes I feel like I can't move because they hurt so bad! Now, Random muscles feel like they're bruised.

Help?

I had what the doctor called mild arthritis in my back, hips, knees, and hands.
A year ago, I hurt my back. I thought that it was a pulled muscule. It did not get better. I had bad sciatic pain down my left side. My knee will swell up, and I could not wiggle my toes, if I stood for more than 10 minutes. I had trouble walking. After nine months I was told that I had Spondylolisthesis, and "a bit more than mild arthritis". I was told to do what exercise that I could. Pain pills when I need them. Not to stand for very long or to walk far.
I am having to deal with a HMO. I am 46 yrs old.
I am not getting straight answers. I can not work. I can not stay in one position - sitting, laying, anything for very long without pain. It's hard to fix dinner, clean my home, get around even with a cane. I cannot drive and be on pain pills, I cannot be in a car long without them.
Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do? Will this get better, stay the same or worse with time?

If yes, do they have the same effect - in other words, do they work? I have a bottle of tylenol and aspirin that expired Nov of 05 and March of 06

25 male had a reoccurence of disc prolapse in L4-5. I tried taking tarction (intermittent - 50 lbs weight) but it did not help rather seemed to be aggrevating so I stopped it. I am reluctant to try epidural injections, can some one pls let me know if they have tried spinal decompression, can it have any negative impact ?

The commercial starts with everybody falling off the world. The camera zooms out and it shows a man holding the world on his shoulders. He is in pain and gets a pain reliever from someone one on the world. What pain reliever is that promoting?

Well into my first kilometre, there's an intense rush of blood to my legs... and they're NOTICEABLY red.. or redder than anyone else's
and then there's this aching pain that shoots up my legs- so it's a great difficulty to run
Initially, I thought it was something to do with the cold, since I haven't noticed this until running mid-October- till now
or during the summer months
so I thought it was smart to wear sweatpants
ahha and personally, I hate wearing long pants while running since it gets in the way... but still.. I have that problem with the rush of blood, pain, and heat

I recently had my appendix out in the ER. I was sent home the next day. One of my incisions, I can see has popped a stitch, and is slightly open. I am experiencing a pinching feeling and a sharp pull all over the incision. WHat should I do? I don't have insurance, so is it really necessary for me to go back to the hospital?

I am a 34 year old female. For the last 6 weeks I have been getting sharp pinching pains between my legs when i cough, sneeze or bend forward. It is only on the right side. It feels like an electric shock. Sometimes the whole area on the right side gets a little tingly and it extends into the buttock area, but for the most part, the pain is isolated to that one little area. Sorry for the tmi here, but it is kind of to the right of my labial area. Thanks for any help you guys can give. It just isn't getting any better.

Ive developed a pain in my left hip thats lasted for over two months now. Im not sure if the pain is in the joint or the muscle surrounding it. Usualy during the day it doesnt bother me that much but it gets worse when i sleep. It went away for about 2 weeks but now its back and last night it got so bad I wanted to shoot myself but I couldnt even get out of my bed. Im only 19 and other than this pain im very healthy and active. What do you think the problem is and what should i do about it ? Any advice will be greatly apreciated. Thank You.
