flat feet vs. head and neck pain

my botfriend plays a lot of sports and therefore does a lot of running and puts a lot of pressure on his feet.
He has flat feet which I believe is over pronation of his feet.
Sometimes he gets really severe headaches and sharp stabbing neck pains.
I heard somewhere that flat feet can cause headaches.
Is this true? Please explain.

calve muscle pain

I just turned 32 years old and I was playing basketball.
I went for a rebound and it felt like someone kicked me in the calve but no one did.
I’m having a difficult time walking and it is painful.
I go to see the doctor in two days.
My achilles and foot feel fine however.
What can I do other than ice it and put some ben-gay on it?

lump and pain on top of foot

I have a hard lump or knot on the top of my left foot. It’s located in the middle of my foot and a little to the right. I am unable to wear shoes such as lace up tennis shoes because the pressure on the lump shoots a numbing pain down my foot. I have noticed that wearing flip flops which I often do aggravates it. What is it and what causes it?

Severe Back Pain (At Random Times)

Hello, My name is Shafraz Zain.
I am 19 years old. This morning I was getting ready to go to school.
When I was putting my shirt on, all of a sudden, my back started to hurt.
Its upper right side right next to the spine.
I slowly lowered myself to the bed to a prayer position.
I couldn’t move my back so my body was on the bed and my knees were on the ground.
I was in this position for about 12 minutes. Every time I tried to straighten my back, the pain was even worse.
I slowly willed myself to sit down on the bed but still could not straighten my back.
I was having a hard time breathing, for when I tried to take deep breaths I felt a really bad sting in my back where it hurt.
I stayed sitting down with my back arched forward and finally decided to get up.
I then could not turn to my right or left without pain.
The breathing was the same also, it hurt when I tried to take deep breaths.
I still have the pain and it is 8 o’clock at night.
This happened to me before like 3 times before.
It goes away though. But every couple of months or so, the pain comes back randomly.
I am worried because I run track and cross country for my college.
If you have any idea on what is wrong with me, please e-mail me.
Sorry to e-mail you but I could not find anything online. Again, it is not my spinal cord, It’s the muscle that to the right of the spinal cord on the middle upper right side of my back.
Thank you again. -Shafraz
