My foot doctor made me where a boot on my left foot because I cant stand the extreme pain from any pressure on my left heel.
The MRI tech said that the doc was looking for a possible fasciil rupture in the heel. What is that and what is the treatment?

I get headaches every night but have only had two doozy migraines ever (I was released from the hospital from one this morning). What do I do when one comes one? The two that I have had have woken me out of a sound sleep in the night. What do I do when they hit? I was prescribed topamax.

Whenever I sleep at night on my left side, my ear gets very painful. So much so that if I turn over, it takes about ten minutes to get to sleep because of the lingering pain. I used to get the same pain in my right ear, but not anymore. Anyone know what causes this?

Hello everyone, i wanted some insight from people who might know. I've been extremely tired for the past three weeks, and at the end of most nights i get a migraine. They get so it doesn't matter if i take excedrin, i just need to sleep it off. It's kinda interupting my life because i have friends who want to go out, and i make plans, then need to cancel later because of my migraine. Does this sound like migraines or something worse? LIke i said before I am also really exhausted and don't know if being tired is causing it or if it is an underlying problem.

Currently I have lower abdominal pain sort of like when I'm on my period. The pain MILD and is on and off. My lower back aches, and my muscles ache. I feel like throwing up and have for most of the day, but haven't. NO fever. This is wierd but the bone in my butt hurts too. I feel like I need to take a bowel movement but I can't. I do NOT feel constipated, I feel like I can't push it through, it's hard to explain. But it does not feel like constipation.

My symptoms have been gradually getting worse since day one. They are all MILD for the most part. They are all on and off, except for the bowel movement thing which started this morning. I can ignore my symptoms, except once. Last night my body felt very achy and my abdominal pain was worse then usual, and it took me longer to fall asleep. The symptoms were worse while laying down if that makes sense.

I am a 14-year-old girl, am 5'7 and 120 lbs. I am NOT sexually active.

None of this makes any sense to me. Any ideas?

I'm 17.
Last night, I woke up because I had chest pain -- 3 sharp pains; then it seemed to go away and just be a mild discomfort. Today, I have the same discomfort (mostly on my left side of my chest but occasionally on my right) and some numbness/slight soreness in my left arm. I am also slightly short of breath.
I called my doctor and told her my symptoms, but she told me that she wasn't concerned; I've had 2 cardiology workups in the past year, and everything came back normal (I had my ASD repaired when I was 7, but the leakage is extremely minimal and within normal range). I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, and my neck is often misaligned.
Since my doctor isn't concerned, do you think this chest pain and discomfort could be due to my neck misalignment (I also have discomfort in my back near my ribs -- they are occasionally misaligned as well).

Does anyone else think that this could be due to my neck/ribs or some kind of acid reflux?

I have a strange pain in my left hand. It is at the base of my pinky finger, inside the hand just below the knuckle. It is surprisingly painful. It doesn't hurt unless something touches it. Like if I pick up my computer pressure gets applied accidentally, and then it hurts very badly. I have had no accidents with it, have not bumped anything - so I cannot explain it. There are no outward appearances of injury. The pain seems to be getting worse instead of better. Each time it hurts it seems to hurt worse than the previous time.

Should I be concerned? How long should I wait until I see a doctor about it? What could it be?

I have a prescription for hydrocodone. I just got it filled last week, but I would like to get it refilled right away because I am going out of town and my pharmacy doesn't have a branch anywhere near where I'm going. (In fact, I'm going to a very rural place where its going to be a big hassle to get to ANY pharmacy.) The prescription was written "take 1 pill every 6 hours as needed for pain" and the quantity was 60 with 2 refills. Doing the math, if I took one every six hours I would run out 15 days after I first got it filled.

When I realized that this is going to be a problem, I took it to the pharmacy and asked them if they could refill it but they said no. This was only a few days after it was written. I am not submitting this to insurance, so its the rules made by the pharmacy or the government that I need to know. Thanks in advance.

the pain is killing me, and my doctors who take so long to get back to me with test results aren't helping. they're saying anything from MS to Lupas.anyway the pain is horrible,and the medication isn't helping.Its painful to walk and I have to walk though because I have school.would crutches help or make things worst.I've been trying to "walk this out" for over 2 months.

I take Lexapro 30mg daily for OCD (it ain't workin'!!), clonazepam as needed (anywhere from 0.5 to 2.0mg), Ginseng complex occasionally, Garlic capsules almost daily, butalbital/acetaminophen (Phrenilin) once or twice a week for headaches and I've been on a very low-carb diet for over 3 months...I think it could be the clonazepam, so I avoid taking that the night before a jog...Today the chest pain was accompanied by discomfort/numbness in both arms and shoulders...I usually take an aspirin for relief and a high-fiber meal believing the fiber will soak up any excess medication in my bloodstream...The pain usually doesn't start until after about 20-30 minutes of jogging, but once it starts and it gets bad, it may last over 2 hours after workout is done...ANY help/suggestions would be appreciated!

The joints in my hand/fingers in one hand hurt so badly. It has been about 3 months. I keep thinking/hoping that it's just due to the weather changes, but I think it really may be arthritis. I can hardly hold my coffee in the mornings and changing the babies' diapers is such a hard task. I'm only 25. It is very sad to me because I am a pianist. Is it possible and if so, what is the treatment? Thanks.
