lately I have had an awful pain in my left knee. its hard to describe..it came out of nowwhere, i had no injuries or anything, and Im only young..
it hurts when i walk or bend my knee its on the left side of the knee cap,towards the bottom of it..its like a stabbing sensation. Im going to the doctors after christmas, I would go to the hospital now but Im pregnant and can not get xrays done, and thats what they would need to do.
any ideas as to what this is?

My throat's been sore all day from sneezing, so I might have a cold. I thought that drinking a carbonated drink would help my throat, but it just makes my throat hurt more. Is there anything else that could help my throat feel better other than medicine?

I know there are people that have gone through way worse than what i'm going through, i understand that but i'm in need of help.

A month and a half ago i was in a terrible car accident, totally my fault, lost control and hit a tree the car was literally smashed in half, the drivers seat was pushed over on to where the center console was, the seat didn't come off, that's how far it got crushed, center console broke... etc etc

enough about my car, okay, **** where do i start? i can go on for days describing the devastation anyways, my pelvis was broken in 4 places, i had 2 big bumps on the head (size of 2 fingers put together) i had to have catheter in for 3 weeks because of urethra damage, now that catheter is out, i'm developing stricture. i can't sleep for more than 4 hours/day, i don't know if i'm bored, i don't know if i'm hungry, sleepy... etc etc i don't know i can't find peace in myself... any suggestion?

Knee Arthroscopy (after surgery) question?
okay uh I had knee arthroscopy may 1st it went well. But when I stand on it long or walk a longing distance the..... I guess the muscles gets all tensed up and my knee throbs, it'll disappear if I rest it for a while. But I am wondering when it will if it will ever fully heal and if so how long? I'm guessing long. But about how long how many months or a year?

Umm hard for me to explain this, not very good at explaining. Best to start from the beginning, well i started getting sharp painful stings in my knee, when ever I walked it had occasionally and it was so painful that I wanted to cry, but it didn’t ever last that long, about a minute to two at the most. Then when I got it examined I found out that my meniscus was causing the problem, instead on them being both the shape of C's one was a D so what they did was go in and shave the D down to make it a C. So can anyone help me out here? I'd really appreciate it. I hope that explanation is alright.

I have about five VERY large warts on my hand, and I've had countless freezing treatments for all of them. I've tried home remedies, acids, everything. So my doctor thinks that the only thing left to do is get it surgically removed (on New Year's Eve!)

I've never had anything like this done before. So I have a few questions, actually.

1.) Does Novacaine hurt? My mom told me that it only does for about 10 seconds, but that it's almost as painful as the surgery itself. Other people have told me that it doesn't hurt at all, just the needle going in.

2.) Am I going to be 'absolutely miserable' after the novacaine wears off? My doctor told me I would be.

I reallyyy appreciate it. I'm pretty scared, especially about the novacaine. Thanks!

Ok so i am 14 and i felt this pain when I yelled at my brother who was on the other floor (I did that so he could hear me). At first it was very acute but it became much easier later on. It feels like somebody is squishing my brain in the back of my head. Right now, (one day after the initial pain), I only feel the pain when i shake my head. What is this pain??

I'm having a lot of weird sensation on my back, specially if I press the front of my neck (throat area). My doctor referred me to a physical therapist, but my condition seemed to be getting worst. When I move my right hand or arm, it feels like there electricity going through my upper right back. What should I do? Will i need some type of surgery? Please help!

DO you think that yoga could possibly loosen it, or it will it just mess it up worse. Its not everyday pain, but Im so young and can't figure out why this is happening. Thanks for your answers.

I have a problem with pain my upper back between the shoulder blades, this is usually fine during the day however after going to sleep for around 3 to 4 hours i wake with the pain, staying in bed, moving into different positions does not help, pain killers seem to do nothing only make me feel drousey. but i still cannot sleep as the pain keeps me awake, so i take myself downstairs and sit infront of the tv. the pain subsides in anything between half an hour to 2 hours, i can then go back to bed and get another 3 to 4 hours before i wake again.
I have seen a back specialist and 3 physio therapist each one has a different opinion of the problem. they have all given me exercise's or treatment with little or no success. the problem has been on going for around seven months now
I have tried traditional chinese accupuncture which has had no effect. i have tried numerous mattresses with no effect. I just moved to Newfoundland, Canada from th UK and am looking for a chiropractor in my area
