I have chronic back, leg, and joint pains. I have had them for a couple of weeks. I work out about 4 times a week, so I am used to some kind of pain, but it usually goes away. This pain just keeps on. It is muscle pain and pain in my joints and tendons. I have tried easing up at the gym and adding some extra stretching. My feet and hands are also swelling. Any ideas?

I have a chronic slipped disc in my lower back right above my pelvic bone. I usually keep stretched and am able to twist my hips to get it to straighten back out. I have been sick for the past week and I haven't been able to stretch or exercise. Now my lower back hurts and I can't get it to pop back into place. I can try heating pads and such, but that usually takes a few days before the muscles start to loosen up enough for me to get to go back in place. Anything I can do that would get it pop back in the next few hours?

Please, just go to Google or Yahoo! and search for it. Stop being lazy and getting other people to do the work for you. Besides, its only preseason.

So I met a girl and we are going on our first date. Normally, I would know exactly what to do, but this girl is different than ones that I have dated in the past. So, I am kind of stuck because I'm not sure where to take her. I figured out a restaurant for dinner, but I wanted to take her some place different. Some place fun but not too crowded so we could talk and be comfortable. Any suggestions?

I have built up to 245lbs. but I am stuck. I weigh 175lbs. and I feel like I can bench more. My problem is that my left shoulder and triceps give out before my chest does. I have tried changing my routine to include less shoulder and triceps exercises thinking that I might have tear or I might be wearing them out, but that didn't work, so I did the opposite and it hasn't changed. I have also tried to do other exercises to give my stabilizing muscles a chance to build up, but that hasn't done anything either. Any suggestions?

I have a slipped disc in my lower back. I am going to a chiropractor to get it straightened out, but it will take a while before the muscles in my back stop hurting. I already do leg presses in my routine, but squats help develop my hips and quads better. They also help my overall strength.

In the past 2 years I have had surgery to correct a torn labrum in left shoulder, two hernias, and have been treated for slipped discs in my lower back. I also have problems with my heart, I have developed acid reflux from a hiatal hernia, and have a torn meniscus in my left knee. I frequently get pains in my left hip and I don't seem to have the energy that everyone else around me has. I workout regularly (at least 4 times a week), I eat better than most people, I take a multivitamin, and have regular check-ups with my doctor. Anyone know what might be causing all of these problems? I am barely in my thirties.

With the CBA gone, a strike imminent next year, and the Rams having ownership problems, I can't see them doling out Stafford money to Bradford. However, since the precedence was set with Stafford last year, I can't see his agent settling for less. Looks like a long and nasty contract hold out ahead.

I have been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I also have a hernia that requires surgery. I have told my family about the hernia, but I am scared to tell them about the heart condition. My parents have abd hearts and I don't want them to get upset. I have told my best friend and told her not to say anything.

I have a friend that I grew up with and am really close to. We have known each other a LONG time. Our friends kept telling us that we were special since we have been together for so long and that we should be together. Well, I finally mentioned it to her and she told me that she loved me. She said that she has loves so much and has for a long time. She also said that she refuses to lose me by getting involved. I asked her if she loved anyone more than me and she said no. I keep thinking about her and we talk and hang out all of the time. I am afraid, though, that if we don't act on it, that we might lose each other forever.

I have been friends with someone for a long time. I was there for her for most of her boyfriends and she was there for most of my girlfriends. We lost touch for a while, then one day I found her. She is married and I was engaged. My engagement broke off soon after wards and she started telling me about her and her husband having problems. We have gone out together with our significant others and without. Nothing has happened, though. Now I am getting the feeling like that might be changing. She asked me to have her kid when she gets ready. She won't tell me if her husband knows about it or not. I am starting to have feelings for her, but don't want to act as long as she is married. We have been friends for so long and I don't want to turn my back on her if she needs me.

Zorn is out. There is no question about it. And all I keep hearing about are these tired old retreads of Cowher, Shannahan, Holmgren, etc. So I was thinking, Snyder is worried about losing the fan base, and the entire organization needs a makeover. Grimm could be them an to do both. Any Redskins fan knows Grimm from his days as a hog. He has coached under some of the most successful coaches in the league. He develops game plans in Arizona and has been the assistant head coach in Pittsburgh and Arizona. He will not cost as much money as the other guys, so how about it?
