Everynight it seems to happen...I'll be laying in my bed and be woken up with the most intense muscle spasm in my left calf, in the same spot, same leg each time. I don't get it..and usually the pain goes away fairly fast, but this time, it still is tight, when i try to stretch it, and it feels like it will spaz again if I keep trying to stretch it. So I'm wondering exactly why this is hapening? Am I not drinking enough water, is it becasue I wear heels to work? Not enough iron calcium? Further problems?
Help! Quick..

I have lower arm pain, below the elbow. (forearm) Have had test for Carpal Tunnel and was told that I don't have Carpal Tunnel Sydrome. X-rays from the spine and shoulder all clear. No pain from the shoulders or upper arm. Pain comes and goes. More pain at rest. Cramps in my hand/s during the evening which eventually disappear after falling asleep. Once I get going I'm fine. Could this be arthritis or RSI? Do rest my arms but to no avail. Have been on medication, nothing helps. Any suggestions? Isa

I have been diagnosed with fibro for almost 3 years, but I have suffered my whole life. I remember that I hurt when I was 4 yrs. old. My symptoms worsened while pregnant and my daughter is almost 3. I have gone to chiropractors and massage therapists. My rheumatologist and pain dr. gave me klonopin, ultram, ultracet, hydrocodone 10/325, soma, effexor, paxil, zoloft, cymbalta, elavil, flexeril, zanax, oxycodone, etc... at different times. Some I had to use together. I had to quit my job and now hurt 24/7. I sleep all the time and cannot to anything on my own. I also try to do pilates every other day. I can't carry my daughter or take her shopping. I can't hug my husband. I snap and yell at everyone. I have been told to stop smoking. I quit, and the condition worsened for at least 6 months. I currently smoke again to try to get my mind off the pain. I've read book after book and tried everything in my power. I feel like I'm dying. If I can't get help I don't know what else I can do. HELP

For about a week now, I get major neck pain around supper time until I fall asleep.

It begins at the base of my neck, at the back kind of where the head and neck/spine connect. I can feel two lumps/tendons or whatever.

Why is this happening? It's also spread to my forehead.

I've also been experiencing dizziness and ear pain.

Thx.

For the last 3 years my joints have been hurting and getting worse. It started with my rists and they felt like the could break so easily. Now my rists arent the worst of my pain. My ankles and knees hurt so bad. I cant sleep at night. I toss and turn all night long. I can barely sit in the car for a short period of time without being in pain. My hips are starting to hurt and im worried its going to get as bad as my hips and joints.
I am only 20 years old and have no clue what this could be.

oh and im also tired a lot. I dont know if that has anything to do with it.

one more thing is that i just had a baby 3 months ago so if i had something like lymes Id think that they would of seen it when taking blood tests right??

Is it ok to wait, or do I need to get it checked out before the surgery? I am just scared they wont do the cosmetic surgery, but I don't want to be, not safe.

I've been having stomach problems for the past 2 weeks. It feels like i'm going to be sick but i never throw-up. My stomach doesnt have any sharp pains for n e thing, It just feels like i'm going to get sick. I've taken a pregnancy test and it came back negative, so i know im not prego...Ive went to the doctor and he put me on something that is for stomach ulcers and acid reflux disease, it hasnt helped one bit, if anything its getting worse. He said if it deosnt get better then i need to go back to have test done...Nothing sounds good, everything makes me want to throw up just even hearing about food. I can barely eat, all ive been able to eat in a day is an over easy egg and a piece of toast...and when i do eat my stomach feels even more queezie. If it's not stomach ulcers or acid reflux disease then what can it be? I need help... pleeease

I have this friend that needs help. i always asked her what was up but she told me it was always nothing or that she was just upset that day.a couple of days ago she finally came clean. For the past year she had been depressed or she THINKS she was cause she was just never happy and at times didnt really know what she was feeling.whenever she did get sad she would cut herself. She showed me all her scarrs too. I know this sounds stupid but I always noticed the cuts but never put it together.she hasnt cut for almost 6 months and doesnt plan to start though she gets urges once and a while. But she says one week she will be completely happy and the next week she'll be depressed. She feels like everyone is out to get her too. Like people dont invite her places to hurt her. she knows its stupid but she feels it.sometimes she shes a man outside staring back at her but she knows he's not really there.she thinks I think she's crazy but I know she needs help. what could be wrong?
