I hate taking pain pills, but it seems to be the only way for any blunting of the symptoms. The pain is so bad, I even wake up at night.

This has been going on for several years now, and yes I have seen Doctors, who only tell me that surgery will not help and only give me meds.

So, if you suffer from never ending back pain, how do you cope?

Alright, so. Every once in a while I get this pain on the left side of my chest, it feels as though a rib were poking a hole into my lung. It hurts to breath after that and I am only able to take short shallow breaths. It goes away after a few minutes but it's rather painful/annoying. The thing of it is...
It doesn't happen all the time, maybe once every week or so and I'm not sure what causes it or why. it scared my friend and she suggested that I see a doctor.
My question would be,
Would you reccommend the same?

Labeling requirements on stuff with asprin and acetaminophen say beware of liver damage. I understand I shouldn't chase the pills with beer... but what if last drink I had was two days ago?

The doctor says I have tendonitus in my wrist and told me to wear a brace and take Ibuprofen, but everytime I wear the brace for a while my wrist hurts worse than before I put it on. Do I really have tendonitus. I would like ya'lls opinion.

My Doctor has put me on Imitrex for migranes. I have never been on anything like that before. I would just like to know about the side effects and if it makes you really drowsy because I am at home with 2 kids all day and their dad works all day.

long story short, I "threw my elbow out" (like when you whip a baseball too hard first time in the season) and a few weeks later elbowed someone in the face and got messed up (are those injuries related?). It was like hitting my funny bone but horribly worse, my ring and pinky finger went completely numb with a shock from my elbow to my hand. It burned quite a bit and tingled too. This lasted about 5 minutes and I regained feeling and movement. A few days after and it's sore at the elbow. WTF is this?
