  • Why do my hips ache from standing, and 'pop' when I walk.?

    Pain & Pain Management - 12 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I stand for about two hours at a time and my hips just start to ache really bad, sometimes my knees too. I have decent support in my shoes. I do sometimes have a problem too when I walk, my hips almost 'pop' but not 'crack', kinda like the pop out of joint a little or something but it only starts to ache after about 15 mins of walking like that. Sometimes I can make it stop if I walk differently (stiff-like). I am only 23 and this has been happening for quite a few years, since I was 16 probably. Should I be concerned? Is there any certain vitamins or supplements I can eat more of or take to help with this? I haven't had any injuries in the past that I know of that could have caused this.

    Additional Details

    It's a pathetic question, I know. But, seriously. I have two younger brothers who are horrible to me. They will call me fat, talk about tampons, call me ugly, and stupid to my face. It's terrible, and it's really hurting me. Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't do it where they do it. I'll be walking to the bus, and they will put down the window and yell in front of EVERYONE, "Hurry up fatty!" Or, "Run, bitch, run!" It's embarrising. How can I stop it form hurting me so much? I have come home crying the past two days, and I'm stuck. I don't know what to do. Please help me :(

  • Do I have the right to insist on starting treatment regardless of what the doctor wants?

    STDs - 22 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I've got HIV and Hep C from idu, infected in 2006 diagnosed 2009. My CD4 count is 450 and T8 ratio is .33 unknown VL (they've continually screwed up the tests as results are time-limited and the nearest lab that can handle it is over an hour away) I want to start treatment on HAART immediately as from every study I've read & from talking to people I know who are similarly afflicted that guidelines are about to change at a CD4 count of 500 soon. I live in a rural, conservative area, and the specialist is no different, to her if the book says 350 then treatment should be withheld until it reaches that point,. Knowing how I feel physically and from symptoms that have begun to appear I think it's best to begin right away. Do I have the right to insist on treatment regardless of what she thinks?
