Why do ur legs get sore when u stood all day? It doesn't even have to be because u were running or constantly walking. It's not like u really stretched ur muscles. Why is it?

Most nights, I wake up after a couple of hours of sleep with a severe cramp on the right side of my back between my shoulder blade and waist. This pain will last for a couple of hours, and it is so painful, it makes me so nautious I throw up, and I can't stop crying. I've tried every over the counter pain med, but they don't help, cause I usually throw them up. Even a massage won't help. I've had these pains for 11 years, but it was only a couple of times a year. I gained a lot of weight after I had my first son 5 years ago, so I think that weight has something to do with it. But it has only gotten frequent these past couple of years. I have stayed the same weight for the past 5 years, so why did it wait 3 years after I put on the weight to become frequent. I've tried going to the hospital for it in the middle of the night, and I have to wait so long, that by the time they see me, it has gone away. Does anybody else have this happen to them? Do you know what it could be?

Ok so ive been using a wrist brace for a week now. My symptoms are getting better from wearing it, but i can still feel it in my fingers and wrist.

I'm wondering when i should wear it, when im sleeping? working? on the comp? as long as possible? and if so how long for each one?

I asked my dad and he said i shouldn't wear it when im sleeping but i dont know if that is true.

This is important because i am a drummer in a band and if my wrist doesn't get back to 100% then it won't be looking good.

Thanks for helping me so much! =]

My best friend has a herniated disk in her back and is unable to have surgery, because she has no insurance. She is having lots of pain, in her back, hip and legs and is having a hard time working and walking, She also has IBS with constant diarrhea. Do you know if she would be able to get her disability from social security with these problems?

I pulled a couple muscles on my legs and it's really hard to walk. Would wrapping an ace bandage around my leg help?

The same thing happened to me last year from a sinus infection -- I begin coughing for days, and finally, something finally strains in my lower back. It hurts to be in most positions, aside from lying down, leaning back, and a certain way of standing. Bending over is a BIG no-no.

How can I make the pain go away? I've taken acetaminophen, but what can I do to heal my back, in the quickest manner possible? Being out-of-sorts like this won't work for long -- I'm a nursing major in college in which my agility is necessary.

At this stupid stupid dance camp i had to go to for cheerleading, my coach told the choreographer to stretch us really hard so she did and now were all in pain because were not dancers and were not used to it. I'm not going today because I cant even walk and i feel completely nautious from the pain. It hurts insanely bad behind my knee on one leg and the front of my thigh on the other. Does that mean I pulled those muscles? I really am like close to tears right now from the pain. Everyone thinks I'm sore but I've had sore muscles before and it was NOTHING like this.

Do you get energetic? Or lazy; tired??
What are the signs of abuse?
And lastly, what is the obviously bad **** you get from it, like cocaine users get nosebleeds...what do percocet users get??

Please don't ask me why I'm asking this, because frankly I can't justify myself.
Thanks to anyone who answers and....yeah.

I have been playing guitar for 12 years, and ever since a biking accident I had when I was about 11 years old, I have been having intermittent but almost severe pains in my wrist. I never feel pain when I play guitar, but a few days afterwards I will feel a sharp, deep pain through my entire wrist area. Sometimes it just happens out of nowhere, whether or not I have been overusing it. My fingers get tense and have trouble moving, and my entire wrist has trouble moving. However, movement does not make the pain any worse.

I have been to a doctor who told me it is NOT carpal tunnel, it's not DeQuervain's tendonitis, it's not a broken bone... and when I showed him where it hurt, since it was so many locations simultaneously, he said, "It's probably tendonitis in all of those tendons, so I can't give a cortisone injection or anything." He advised me to take ibuprofin every 4 hours for 3 weeks while wearing a brace.

I just had surgery 5 days ago, to repair cartilage on my right knee. After surgery, my knee seems to be alright, not much pain at all. The doctor advised me to straighten my knee when standing and bend it freely when sitting or lying, which was fine. This morning when I got up, every time I straighten my leg I get this shooting pain behind my knee, did I do something wrong, or is this part of the healing process?
