For the past 2 1/2 years I have been dealing with a lot of random health problems…urticarial vasculitis, joint pain, muscle weakness and just a general "ill" feeling. My crp levels have always been elevated somewhere between 6-10, this time it jumped to 16.8. I have just moved to a new state and I will […]
I am on birth control (was just on Apri, but they switched me to Levora). I am also on a very low dose of anti-depressants. These both have a warning for blood clots.

I am a male in his early 20s who is new to weight lifting. I have never “worked out” before this stage in my life. I have been lifting weights every day for about 4-5 weeks now. I probably have only taken 6 days off total. To keep my body from wearing down, I have […]

But in the mean time, I am in unbelievable pain a great deal of the time. I am only 19.
I have some swelling in my knees, hips, and […]
A few weeks ago I noticed some slight pain on the outside of the "outermost knuckle" of my left big toe. It almost felt like a bruise. Since then it has become more painful. The pain seems to be focused on the joint and there seems to be some swelling. I don’t think it’s gout […]
Why or why are Drs.at such a battle about what the correct way, to go about dealing with back pain, joint or disk problems and arguementative-the chiropractor says, no pain meds, the physician says take pain medicine and stay away from chiropractors.
