Pain & Pain Management - May 2007

I've been doing a lot of studying for the past 3 months, with prolonged periods of sitting down, sometimes in a slouched position. I get low back aches in the afternoon, but none that couldn't be relieved by Ibuprofen. Recently, I've noticed additonal symptoms. I sometimes feel a tingling sensation on my right big toe, also a feeling of numbness in that area. I have a very nagging right calf pain too, not like a cramp, more like it's sore, and stretching and massaging it kinda helps.

What has gotten me worried is the addition of right testicle pain. In the beginning, I considered an STD, but I am negative for all: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphillis, etc. It's a dull nagging pain, that goes on and off, lying down pretty much helps, worst when I'm sitting, like it's being compressed. I doubt it's torsion, though that scares me.


Any thoughts on this?


I'm broke, unemployed, with no insurance, so I hope someone can help. Thanks.

I know I grind my teeth. I have strange headaches around the back of my ears. It hurts to press on that area. Sometimes the temples hurt too. Is this from grinding my teeth at night or something else? Does that mouthgard thingy help to avoid the headaches?

Sometimes when i bend my left knee it hurts on the bottom. About once a week, it jams and I fall on the floor, unable to move because it hurts so badly. When this happens, it takes like 4 minutes to unjam and hurts all the way. I dont know what happened, as I am only 13. I have only hurt my leg once, when I was 8, because I fell out of my window. My mom (who used to be a nurse) said that I would have started expieriencing pain earlier then 13 if it had to do with falling out of my window. I dont know what to do, do you have any ideas of what is up with my knee? I have stress related problems, like bruxism (i grind my teeth in my sleep) but I dont know if that is related. Thank you.

I have pain in the heel of both feet when I walk. Looking on here, most investigation says heel pain is bone spurs. But with Bone spurs, the pain is to stop when you walk. My pain hurts worse when I put any pressure on my heels at all. It has come & gone for a few months but after being on my feet for long periods of time, the pain is a lot worse. Any idea what this is?
