Help me

Yes I am sick with a cold but something else is wrong. Aside from runny nose, sinus issues, mild sore throat and feeling like a giant is standing on my chest...I am scared the pnemonia is coming back except I don't feel as wiped out as when I had that 2 years ago but I can handle all of that for the moment.

Something is wrong with my hips and legs. I am in so much pain I am almost screaming. I can't sit, lay down, stand... nothing is working and it hurts so bad. I have no idea whats wrong. I haven't fallen or anything (besides its both hips) I dont know what to do. I don't have a bathtub but I did have a long shower until the hot water ran out. It helped some but now the pain is back. Do I want to put ice on it? Heat? I have some Vicks Vapor rub which says its good for sore muscles. Any other ideas??

I don't have a doctor here in Toronto and seeing as this isn't an emergency if I go to the hospital I am going to be waiting around for hours and I can't do that. Even at work today I had to stand and walk every 20 minutes

I'd like to help but you were not very specific. Is the pain muscular....vascular? Does it go away if you lie down or get worse. I like web md but I convince myself I have everything. Check them out.

I'm no doctor but it sounds like flu to me so I'll tell you what works for me: hot whisky, honey and lemon to alleviate the nose and throat symptoms and aspirin as often as you dare for the aches. Get a good book to try to take ypur mind off it!

I'm definately no doctor but sometimes you get achy from the flu. I dunno if its your hips and legs that usually get that way but.... Its also possible you could have some sort of back trouble? depending on the pain? I dunno hope it gets better though xxx

I can't help... I can only pray. You will get through this, but I hope you find a GP.

It sounds as if the flu or cold has some how reached your bones and muscles. Stay in bed, stay warm...and drink drink drink water. Dehydration makes the bones and muscles hurt.

beach look for an urgent care near you, most clinics have them. You might still have to wail but at least you will get to see a Dr.
