after a series of visits to hospital and various investigations sufferer is told nothing can be done. The problem is sciatica like stabbing pain in one leg below the knee. It is NOT sciatica, much more severe, is more or less continuous. With regular bouts of such strong pain it is difficult to keep balance. Some pain killers have been subscribed and taken, that is Dihydrakodeine and paracetamol (excuse please my poor spelling). These give very little relief. Reluctant to use stronger medication but is desperate to find some way of alleviating the distress the pain is causing. Has anyone else suffered anything similar or know any words of comfort.
P.S. The condition seems to have been aggravated by a fall onto hard surface floor.

I got a rash down below from where I trimmed my hear down there with scissors. I am using diaper rash cream and that really isn't working. I am currently using Vaseline and hydrocortoizone cream because I had vaginal eczema but i stopped the hydrocortoizone because it seemed like it was drying me out and now i am just using Vaseline. Would Vaseline be ok? Also, if you have any tips please tell me! *I have never had eczema in the past* Could you also tell me why i get a rash when i trimwith scissors?

A few days ago during lunch I had a sudden pain in my jaw/neck. There was swelling. When I stopped eating it went away. Everytime I eat this happens. Always clears up after I stop. Prett much figured out this was a salivary gland infection. I started taking amoxicilin. Doesn't seem to have helped much. What can I do and is there some kind of relief for the pain while eating meanwhile?

I am a wildlife photographer and one of my subjects is the adder.
I have been biten twice, not through being stupid or careless but some of them are so small and so hard to see that it just happens.
I will never give up photographing snakes, so, no answers to this affect please.
Has anyone out there been biten or do you know anyone who has been biten. The second time was from a young female and it was quite nasty. This was around 5 months ago now and my ankle still swells up (slightly) and gives me a lot of pain, i have to stop walking sometimes where it is too bad.
Please don't say go to the doctors as i know what they will say. All i want to know is, has anyone out there had the same experience?

At different times I have suffered severe pain from gall bladder attack, passing bladder stones, shingles, sciatica & others but was never offered anything for pain until I sought out specialists.
I know many others have suffered thses & worse condidtions & their doctors did not want toprescribe adequate pain medications. WHY???

My feet and legs were hurt badly in a car accident five years ago. I have tried orthotic inserts but none have done the trick. I have heard a few good things about New Balance. What about Nike or other brands. Specific styles. Any input?

The doctor has deemed my rotoatr cuff retorn and that he is going to clean it out and cut off so the pain will decrease. He said that motion up to arm level will be okay including strength but the problem and this will be for the rest of my life will limited me into that I will not be able to deliver bread anymore.

I right now have 95 percent flexblity and mobility but of course with activity of any kind the pain comes into play. Has anyone experienced this type of surgery?

I dont know what it is but I cannot seem to sleep very well. I was taking anything with dyphahydramine in it which helped slightly. Then I went to the dr who gave me ambien cr and that helps a little more. But I seem to wake up exactly in 4 hours every night. Doesnt matter what time I go to bed, my body clock goes off in 4 hours. I work construction so I should be tired by the end of the day. I get up at 5:30 every morning and try to go to bed around 10:30. But at 2:30-3 I wake up. It is every 4 hours always nothing ever different. With the medicine I am easier to go back to sleep versus not taking it. But it makes me crazy to wake up in the middle of the night atleast 5 out of 7 nights. I have never heard anyone doing this but me. Anyone else have this problem? Even taking sleeping pills and the type of work I do you would think I would be out for the night. Just me and my husband home so no "noises" or kids in the night making it worse. Anyone have this too? What do you do?
