Answers:

This is not the right forum to ask these kinds of questions. I am a doctor, and this could be serious. You need to be evaluated and have some X-rays taken. If you don't have insurance and no family member or friend can loan you money for medical care, try to find out if there are any free state sponsored medical clinics in your area. Every state has them.

It could just be that you have stress fractures from overdoing it in sports, but again, you need to be seen. It would be foolish to follow lay people's advice and not have this taken care of. If you have something serious, it will not go away in will get worse. Forget personal trainers, it will make it worse.

OH, wait a minute....you have money to pay a PERSONAL TRAINER (and a GYM membership) but not a physician?? OK, that one I cannot understand...Honestly, I don't want to be mean or anything, but I do not follow the logic on this one.
