I've had this pain for 2 or 3 years now. It happens every 3 months or so and lasts for no longer than 2 minutes. It's an extremely sharp pain in the lower right side of my body. It's so intense i have to stop what im doing and sometimes i cant even see. I asked my doctor, but she said that it is probably nothing. i thought id ask you guys. thanks. oh im in my middle teens...not pregnant. umm..its not a std or anything. and i dont think it has to do with menstrual cramps.

Every night I go to sleep then I wake up with this terrible toothache. It keeps me up all night but by the morning it just disappears.

I have a dentist appointment but not for a few days as I'm not staying at home right now.

Does anyone know:
- What it is?
- Why it's happening?
- How to ease the pain?

It's one of the most painful things I've ever experienced (you know them toothaches) so can anyone help me with this?

Hi all. Okay so i am really worried i could be pregant, but im not sure. Today is when my period is due and it didnt come. Im usually always on time. I had sex about 2 weeks ago (a little over) and yes unprotected, but he pulled out. Im not on birth control (i know stupid). The past couple of days ive been having cramping in my lower abdomen. I NEVER get cramping b4 a period, only while i have it. so that was strange to me. Ive also been very tired, and sometimes sick to my stomach but never threw up. I bought two of those dollar preg tests. I took one last night and one this morning but both came up negative. Soo... what do u think??

I havent had any signs of my period comming and im really worried. help! thankyou.

Also i have been having little pains in my back (not sure if that has anything to do w it )

I am extremely concerned. He has stopped eating and is making little off-hand jokes about his lack of "experience" and his attitude suggests he might be thinking of killing himself. My husband and I have talked about it and we are considering getting him a prostitute to enhance his self esteem. Moral issues aside (my boy's life is at stake) has anyone else tried this?

Ive tried milk and water. Milk as a bit more bearable but still both are absolutely horrible. How do i make them to be at least a little bit drinkable without wanting to puke.

yesterday I noticed weird whitness that looked sorta like dead skin on the inside of my lips. Then today (the first day of school) it was horrible. Theres a lot of this 'dead skin' and my lips hurt...like sting. especially on all the corners. It hurts to talk and eat. if anything like salad dressing or any fruit drips on them it stings really bad!! i cant stand it. I've ben using tons and tons of vasaline. but its not helping to much. i feel like my lips are going to rip open if i open my mouth to wide. it hurts so bad. What can i do to get rid of this and sooth the pain??

Finding ways to handle stress can be difficult. Turning negative energy into something positive is ideal, so what are some yoga practices that can help accomplish this?

mostly stuffy nose, and sneezing a lot. I'm allergic to ragweed. And nothing seems to help. I've tried Benderaly and flonase but neither have helped. I'm allergic to a lot of medcines so I don't want any medicine if it's not natural. thank you!

Ok so for a very long time I have been getting very painful headaches everyday. They kind of stopped for a while but before they stopped I had them every single day and the pain was horrible. It was usually in the back or the side of my head. Also when I would jump I would hear this sort of "thump" in my head as if my brain jumped along with me or something. Also last year I woke up one morning and my ears felt very different. I couldn't hear my swallowing like I used to and it was as if they have gotten a little deaf. But I could hear well. That feeling of "deafness" has been going on till this day. And this morning I felt a little bit of pressure in my ears again which makes them feel uncomfortable. I have no idea what this is but it has been going on for about 2 years. I told my mom everything but she keeps saying there's nothing wrong with me. I just want to know what's going on. Thank you.

Just wondering what other people with RSD are on med wise?

I am currently on OxyContin (just for pain before they diagnosed my with RSD) and Ambien for sleeping b/c of the pain by my primary physician.

My orthopeadic onocologist (who diagnosed me with RSD) put me on Elavil today. He said it was for nerve blocking? But anywhere on the internet says it is an antidepressant.

My ortho wants me to go completely off of OxyContin but I can't imagine what kind of pain I'll be in if I dont have that pain med. And he is completely against pain meds in general. Considering I'm still in a massive amount of pain. And that I have to function in everyday life.

I'm just looking for some advice from someone who has RSD. I'm new to this....
