Joint Pain – Causes and Symptoms
Every move we make depends on some joint performing properly, whether it's lifting groceries from the car or doing a back-bending dip dancing the tango. But, like breathing, we take this function of our bodies for granted, usually until something goes wrong. You are lucky, indeed, if you haven't experienced joint pain sometime in your life. Usually a hot bath, an aspirin, and a good night's sleep can set things right. If not, you may need an expert diagnosis.
Leg Pain – Causes and Symptoms
Leg pain can range from occasional cramps to chronic muscle spasms. Everything from too much exercise to unhealthy clots restricting your blood flow can cause you to grit your teeth and grasp your leg in agony. If your legs cramp up at night or after a hard workout, try gentle stretches before bedtime and take some time to cool down after exercising.
Jaw Pain – Causes and Symptoms
Soreness in the muscles attaching the U-shaped bone of the lower face to the skull. Your jaw is one joint you probably take for granted but use millions of times each day. Moving your jaw is like walking or breathing — you don't think about it until it hurts. Like most of your other joints, the muscles connecting it will suffer the usual number of spasms and pains. But sometimes jaw pain is a signal of something more serious — injury, infection, a nerve disorder, or pain referred from somewhere else in your body.
Knee Pain – Causes and Symptoms
Swivel, bend, slide, glide. If you were keeping track of your knee movements all day, this is probably the pattern you would find. Your knee joint is the largest joint in your body and probably the most complex. With all our modern technology, no machine can come close to doing all the amazing things it does. Unfortunately, just like a machine, your knees can gradually break down after years of use.
Heartburn – Causes and Symptoms
Do you ever feel like you have a three-alarm fire burning in your chest? Fortunately, the burn usually doesn't have anything to do with your heart. The burning sensation comes from your esophagus, the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach.Your stomach secretes a strong acid that is necessary for digestion. A special lining protects your stomach from the effects of this acid, but it doesn't protect your esophagus.
