Does anybody have any experience with verapamil for treatment of cluster headaches? I have suffered with them for 15 years untill my doctor gave me verapamil to prevent them. Now it seems the first day I start taking it my headaches go away. Just wondering if anybody else has had similar results especially in such a short time frame

It was swollen and painful for a few days. Now its less swollen and less painfull but the redness spread to almost 1 sq feet covering from the upper back of the thigh to the back of the knee.
Should I use hot or cold packs?

a couple of hours ago i posted a problem with my hand because i didn't know if i broke it or just strained it, alot of people said it could be that i strained it. but the pain is slowly spreading up my arm and to the tip of my little finger. has anyone had this before and could it be a trapped nerve? if it is a trapped nerve can you solve it yourself?

also, the name of my last question was "Problem with my hand?"

I have quite a few problems, that leave me some heavy pain. I used to take aspirin, but over time they stopped working. I moved onto tylenol which really helped very much, but doesn't do much anymore. Is there anything stronger over the counter?

It's more like a cramping-up feeling.

I have heard of cases where people who had self control issues and they changed their ways after sessions with Hypnosis. However, from what I read, would the person hypnotizing you not violate you when you are enroute to 'wherever' for diagnosis? just curious...

I've never heard this term before. My husband goes to the hosp every 2 weeks for a blood draw. There is a sing that says 'if you are here for a blood draw from your port, please see receptionist'
I always thought a port was something a ship went into.

Ever since I was little, I've always gotten a sharp pain in my jaw when I start to eat. It's usually in the first couple of bites then it goes away. I wonder what it is and has anybody ever had this as well?

Also what would be the correct dosage when switching from 60mg oxycontin to methadone. The docs put me on 30mg & that was ok for about the first month. I'm thinking either 60 which would be 2 three times a day or 40 one four times a day.
