Im 18, I eat very healthy (little to no sweets, not fizzy drinks)

I have fruit juice every now and then.

I dont smoke, drink once every few weeks.

I wash my teeth 2/3 times a day with a non-electric brush, the toothpaste says whitening (floss once a week, bad i know)

I take glucosanube sulphate & chrondrioten (for my knees)

omega 3, zinc and b vitamins

A list of random things I which could effect

I drink tonnes of green and giner tea

and eat lots of fruit and vegtables, mostly apples, few citrusy fruits

What could this be?!

First of all, Im almost 18, very healthy and fit, I've been trampolining most of my life and training in parkour for just under a year, I've got quite a powerful jump so I focus on that alot when training.

About 1 month ago I noticed a grinding sound in my knees when bending them beyond 90 degrees, this is painless. I got my knee's X-rayed and checked up by a specialist but they said I was fine even after bending my legs and examining my knees in many different ways. Im still not too convinced as the grinding sound is obvious in a quiet room, I've been strengthening most of the muscles in my leg to take the pressure of my Knee's when training. Sometimes I get a slight discomfort in my knee's which lasts no longer than a minute or so, but this isn't pain, just more like that feeling when you need to pop a joint.

I've been taking omega 3 supplements for about a year.

Is the Doctor right and am I just worrying over something silly?

Is grinding in the knees common and harmless?

I've read up that it could be damaged cartilage which is worrying me :(

I've also noticed that my knees dont grind when supporting my own weight with my hands or when Im hanging on a bar ect, they only 'grind' when I've got the weight of my body (80kg) behind the bend

A video of me training http://youtu.be/e0FqSJ24HCs

I have been training in parkour for about 1 year now (im almost 18), before this I freestyle trampolined for about 5-6 years. ( These are some clips of some of the tricks I do - http://youtu.be/e0FqSJ24HCs ,Im the tall one) My last heavy training session was a few days ago, after this my legs ached as usual but this normally goes within half a day. But its been 2-3 days and my legs still ached a little (despite eating lots of protein) mainly just above the knee on the lower front of my calf. Every time I bend my knees past 110° I can here a quiet grinding/creaking sound on both of my knees; possibly the cartilage, It aches a little when doing this but I get no pain. Of the research I have done so far I am suspecting it to either be 'Chondromalacia Patellae' (runners knee) or 'Patella tendonitis' (Jumpers knee) or.. I could just be overreacting. I take 3000mg of fish oil everyday for my joints and consider myself to be very healthy overall. What can and cant I do? exercises? I dont normally rush into any exercise; I usually build up to a jump or trick to warm up.

Thank you

Im 17, male, have olive oily skin and im literately a health freak.

I eat almost no processed foods; only wholefoods, fruit and veg ETC.

have a high anti-oxidant diet; drink 2 green teas everyday and alot of fruit juice not from concentrated

Exercise regularly, Im very muscular. (I train in parkour and trampolining)

I steam my face every few days, and only recently (3-4 days) I've been using some cream and TCP but before, I washed my face every morning, evening and after exercising and didnt use any products on my face (for half a year or so).

I have mild acne with is mainly concentrated around my cheek bones (mostly blackheads and the odd large pimple)

Please help

thanks

cephalic vein or radial artery (I think) just before the wrist on the back of my arm appears to swollen and hurts when touched; feels slightly uncomfortable if i move my wrist. I woke up with this randomly. Im 17 years old, have no known health problems. Im extremely healthy and exercises in parkour on a regular basis so I often push myself too far and stretch muscles, damage nerves etc (which this could be) I have bad blood circulation and natural my arms are veiny so the swollen vein doesn't stand out much. Also when I move my head suddenly I get a headache for however long im moving my head for. Any ideas of what this is?

everything I eat has a fishy taste, and everything I smell, smells fishy. I haven't eaten any fish in the last week or so or taken any supplements. im 17 and consider myself to be very healthy, I do not suffer from any conditions. This started 4-5 days ago which was the same time some of my wisdom tooth started to come up but im guessing that's just a coincidence

http://andovergymclub.co.uk/gymnastics.html the parkour gym, it says it opens on the second so will the adult parkour session be on ?

I have an exam on the 12th and I want to prepare as much as possible, if you know any good revision sites for physics unit 1 AS please say, the unit one sections are on the content page of this book http://www.cgpbooks.co.uk/pages/pageFlip.asp?c=PRA... under unit 1 (: sorry I couldnt ask the question that clearly ... Thankyou!

I have quite a few black heads and spots on my cheeks, and my nose is covered in black heads. I've had these black heads for atleast 2-3 years. I have quite insensitive olive skin, my skins naturaly very oily. At the moment all i do to get rid of acne is use face wipes 2-3 times a day and they seem to help a little.......... any advice on how to get rid of my blackhead and spots for people with oily skin (products/cleaning methods) and what to eat ty (:

I am currently taking the lvl 3 btec in creative media production and photography (equilivant to 4 A-levels) Im also taking physics. I've been at college for 4-5 weeks or so and tomorrow is the last chance to drop any courses and im feeling asthough taking physics will eat up too much time there for effecting my other courses, Do you think i would regret dropping physics in the future, and is there much point taking it in the first place as due to the courses im taking at the moment (I want to be in a media career when im older) Should I drop physics??? heres some of my media work http://www.youtube.com/user/o0XsdeffectsX0o?featur...

about 3 months ago now I damaged my ankle and tendons up to my knee attempting a wall flip, It was a very bad sprain and im surprised I didn't break anything with it, Im not sure exactly where the strain is but when I fell all my weight (80kg) was placed on the top of my foot (instep) as I was rotating, so basically my foot got stretched out straight in line with my leg (vertically, This is very unnatural for me as im not very flexible) when this happend I felt most of my tendons, knee down tearing. It has been 3 months and my ankle is like how it was before but my tendons feel really tight and If I try to crouch or straighten my leg I get a sharp pain in my leg. How can I make it better? what exercises should I be doing, do I need to get it check up again? thankyou (:

I was thinking recently, and this questions came to mind. If a atom which is made of electrons, protons and neutrons, only around 0.000001% of this atom is the 'electrons, protons and neutrons' so the other 99.999999% of this atom is nothing or space. creepy. But then these 'electrons, protons and neutrons' are made up of even smaller particles (quark's and shiz) so for example a Proton is made of these smaller particles meaning the Proton is much like the atom as 0.00001% of the Proton are the particles which make it and the rest is the space between the particles. This idea could keep going on forever as you can keep halving this so called matter; so wouldn't this leave you with that either matter is infinitely small of it doesn't exist at all; 0.000(recurring) 1% matter. I hope this makes sense, bit of a mind F***

The atom is a bit like a endless fractal, These numbers are just guesses but even if an atom was 99.99% matter it will still be the same story

I will be going to Totton college this year for a full 2 year course (advanced BTEC in creative media production and A level graphic design) and was wondering if I am eligible for a bursary.

My parents earnings together is under £21,000 a year (my dad is self employed)

To get to college we will have to pay £1300 over the 2 years for the bus passes.

I have no disabilities. I do not have a job yet... (im trying)

My older brother and sister both got £30 a week from EMA.

my parents live together

We still have a mortgage on the house (no idea if this is relevant

Im 16

Hope that'snough information :P

I've had 2 USB air ionisers plugged into my computer for the past few weeks, Im on my computer around 5 hours a day (bad i know). I've read alot about air ionisers producing ozone which has been said to cause lung cancer by some people. Is there any risk of getting lung cancer for me as i've been on the computer around 5 hours a day for the past few weeks with the ionisers turned on?

Im 16, male and very healthy (even though I use the computer alot I am also very active)

please answer! ps: I've noticed short (3 minutes or so) sessions every couple of hours where I cough, this has happend for the past 2 days.
