General Health Care - October 2006

Yesterday I woke up with a very stiff neck. I have experienced this many times before but this time it was HORRIBLE. I have some mobility in my neck, and the pain doesn't necessarily happen when I move my neck. I can be motionless and all of a sudden, a jolt of pain will run through my neck and head. It feels like electricity. The pain also happens when I walk at a normal pace, or lift my arms.

Could this just be stiff neck due to poor sleep?

The only pharmacy I could afford to go to was shut down by the DEA this past Wednesday. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford my medication at other pharmacies. I've priced other pharmacies in the area and the cost to fill my prescriptions are triple the cost or more. I don't have medical coverage and am disabled. I have been applying for Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid but have not been accepted yet.

I've always had problems with sleep tremmors. I have such horrible vivid dreams and I wake up in a terrible cold sweat, worn out, and out of breath. They got a lot worse for the few months after I gave birth to my daughter. They got a little better with time, but now I get them ever time I have my cycle. And the cold sweats are just so uncomfortable to go through. Is there any thing I can do to prevent this from happening?

Woke up Thursday morning with a stiff neck which is unusual. It got worse over the day. The next morning it really hurt and I couldn't move my head left or right and could slightly move it up and down. Saturday morning it kept jarring without warning and it was hurting to swallow, during the day my next started to swell and I had no neck. Doctor said my muscle had siezed, to take the tables there was nothing more to do.

I have been given diazepam and diclofenac. I do not much much about either of these apart from basic internet searches. Would like to hear from anyone that has had a similar experience and what worked or didn't work to help movement and pain. Not being able to swallow is the worst part - the tablets have helped although it is still restrictive.

It's sort of a long story that I wish not to talk about but I was bit by a person REALLY REALLY badly. This act was not willing on my end. It was on the back of my neck and it's been about 24hrs now. I can turn my head every way but it's painful. Ever since this happened I have been having chest pain right below my heart when I laugh or cough. The bite didn't break the skin so it's not infected. But could the pain in my chest be realated to something else or could it be from the bite. I have no health insurance and REALLY don't want to go the ER unless it is a LAST resort. I HATE hospitals!!!!! The thought of a DR cutting on the back of my neck seems VERY painful!!!!! Again it's a long story but I don't want them asking me a bunch a questions about who bit me and what happened. They would never find the guy. So the main question is: Is the pain in my chest related to the bite? And I should probubly go to the Dr huh?
