Someone has tried to convince me that generic is not addictive when the name brand is. I thought a generic drug had to be the same in order to be sold in place of the drug, so I said bull. This is an addict so I think it is just a line to get me off their case. It is not even their prescription, so I want to know, are they the same? If they are, what can I do to get them off someone else's meds before they destroy themselves?

It appears okay now except it's not symmetrical as it used to be. I don't think people usually notice it but I do, should I get a nosejob?

The side of my thumb where it meets nail is very sore and hurts extremely bad if I touch it against anything. I can see a very small spot of green. I have soaked my thumb in warm saltwater and put neosporin on it....Will this help or will I have to go to the doctor and have them remove it ultimately? (Ouch!)

I was in a car accident four years ago (I was a passenger) and was struck by the airbag. I live with pain on a daily basis. My nose had to be fixed (I had a majorly deviated septum), months and months of physical therapy, chiropractic treatments, massage therapy...and now I am back to physical therapy again. I knew about my discs being bad -- but didn't know until two weeks ago that I have fliud on my spine. What would cause that? I am very concerned.

I have had most of these problems since I was 11, and I am 16 now.
I had fallen and slightly dislocated my knee.
I have had 6 surgeries, but have horrible pain, although my knee cap is in place, arthritis has set in, and I have developed bursitis. My knee buckles so I fall. Right now I am on Darvocet for the pain.
I have tried Physical Therapy, Acupuncture, Tai Chi, Yoga, a pain psychologist, and many other things.
We havent really found anything that helps.
I go to a Pain Management Clinic right now.
Any suggestions or other ideas?

I have cerival stenosis, and every morning I wake I with a trobbing headache and servere pain in my neck and shoulders. I take IB 800 three times a day and try to massage my neck every night and apply heat. I have been to the surgeon but they will not operate now for this will limit the mobility in my neck.

My question is does anyone know of any excercies or therapy that may help? I am so tired of being in pain and any suggestions to help me cope would be highly appreciated.
