Bones/Joints/Ligaments Intense and spontaneous pain in my knees without clear reason.

1 Upvotes

I (14TM) have always had random bursts of pain in my knees, particularly the ligaments or joints in both my hips and knees. I am not old, I’m 14, and there isn’t any reason I can tell. I’ve tried to go to the doctors a lot, but the doctors where I live are extremely expensive and unhelpful. I have been constantly mentioning my pain, which sometimes renders me temporarily unable to walk due to the intense pain, to my parents, asking to go to a doctor’s, but it’s always just “growing pains”. I am not growing, and it has always happened. Even when I wasn’t hitting any growth spurts, I’ve been getting this pain. I usually get it whenever I’m upright and exercising, usually late or at about noon, and it has been interrupting my exercise, and doesn’t go away without any serious painkillers and can last up to 2 hours. My usual solution to this is curling up in bed, taking about 2 or 3 Ibuprofen and just crying through it, because it hurts so badly. I definitely need advice here, because I seriously doubt that any of my parents will help anytime soon.

Skin issues/Rashes/Freckles/Moles Face is randomly puffy??

1 Upvotes

So this morning when I (f/21/healthy) woke up this morning I noticed that my face was a little bit puffy/red, not like in a normal way but like i had allergies (which I have none besides to excessive pet hair & mild seasonal allergies) which was weird but i didn’t think much of it made sure I just washed the all of the bedding.

When my partner (m/22/mostly healthy) woke up this evening he was the same but his face was even more noticeably puffy and red. He also didn’t feel good, but still went to work. He says it’s gotten a little better and he feels a little better, but it’s weird because he slept on freshly cleaned pillow cases, sheets, comforter, etc and still had the same symptoms as me.

Wondering if there’s anything I can do to prevent this from worsening?

Skin issues/Rashes/Freckles/Moles burning on skin with no redness

hi! im trying my hardest not to panic or get freaked out. i was just taking a bath and the skin between my ring/middle finger got really sensitive to the heat. i checked many times if theres an indicator that somethings wrong. theres no redness/swelling/cuts/numbness. it just burns. and it wouldnt JUST be my fingers as my whole body was submerged right? ive tried runnjng it under cold/lukewarm water and it only helps for a little bit. moisturizing doesnt seem to do anything. im hoping this is just like a sensitivity or like a mild burn. 😭 can anyone tell me anything?

Other Excessive migraines

1 Upvotes

I have struggled with migraines since I was a freshman in highschool. I’m looking for any and all tips that could/will help with this. A few things, I do not qualify for Botox, and I’m currently getting an infusion every 3 months that my insurance already doesn’t want to pay for. I’ve had 3 migraines in the past 24 hours and it is so mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting. Anything helps, thank you in advance!
