My husband is getting severe back spasms in his lower back, possibly as a result of twisting wrong while doing sit-ups. He is getting no relief from ibuprofen. Is there an over-the-counter alternative?

Does exercise help you keep your memory?

My doctor told me that adding an exercise regimen that kept my heart rate accelerated 30-40 minutes almost every day would be good for me. Doing that (and changing eating habits) helped me lose weight. My question is: is 60 minutes of cardio-exercise “twice as good” as 30 minutes? Is 45 minutes 50% better for me than 30? Or is there a diminishing return on incremental increases like that?

For a long time, I have had lumps on the bottom of one foot in the arch area, toward the inner half of my foot. They are the size of marbles. I don’t think they are getting larger. But now I get pain in that area when walking or if I stand for a long time. What’s going on? Are these tumors that need to be cut out?

I am a runner. I have bruising on my legs after running. This only happens when I am racing, not during my everyday runs. Could this be caused by poor circulation? I've been running for 10 years and I’ve never experienced this until a few months ago.

I’ve been active in sports my entire life. I had debridement surgery on my right ankle one year ago. It’s still painful. Have there been any medical advances to either replace the cartilage (synthetic or real) or re-grow cartilage?
