I have been in pain for over a year. I have seen 6 Doctors. I have also been in PT for about 8 months. Most of my doctors have given up on me. I have been on many painkillers with little or no effect. Everything besides laying down hurts. The pain extends from the bottom of my rib cage to my shoulder blades. I have started going to a chiropractor, but it is only reducing a small amount of pain. I'm stuck in a state of extreme inactivity and depression. I have also cleaned out my bank account trying to fix my kidney. Being in pain most of the time is really tough too deal with and i don't know what too do.

last october i had surgery on my knee (lateral release) it was fine all winter, summer, etc. Now all of a sudden my other knee is doing the same thing (i have crocked knee caps and they cause pain)...over the counter pain killers do nothing for it, and i cant rely on stong meds all the time either. My original doctor that did it now moved to SC...what do i do? should i go to another doctor and go through the same 3 months process, or just live with it for another 10 years again.

Hi,

I am male, 25 years old and during the past year I noticed my eye bags getting bigger slowly and progressively.

I do sleep enough, ever more than enough - 7-10 hours every day.

Recently ppl started asking me why don't I sleep enough - but I do.

I feel as if it has something to do with soome other thing. Do you have any idea ?

What systems of the body are in relation with the eye bags?

Thanks for you help.

15 years ago i had a baby and the anethatist couldnt get the epidural needle in he tried 15 times and they had to get the top lady out to sort it out, the pain was excruitiating while they were trying and since have suffered back pain, dont complain too much to doctors, but have just got used to not being able to bend, and not being able to do lots of things, have seen the doctor though over the years and been given pain tablets but recently they got me in for an x ray and it showed that where the needles were put in there is now narrowing of the spine, does anyone know anything about this type of thing, if so do you think that my back will get major worse, as is getting worse over months and years but would like to know if i am eventually not going to be able to walk.

Since i was 5 or 6 years old if i'm not mistaken,i have a sudden interest in either watching tv that shows dramas or movies that has a hero performing CPR on the heroine to revive her back to life either due to drowning,asphixiation,heart attack,etc. until now.I also loves to read medical books with CPR illustrations(female as the victim) when i go to the library.Sometimes i did mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions on my wife for fun.My wife does admit that i'm kinda weird for choosing this as a fetish but later on she does'nt mind at all.She said she love it to since she get used to it for quite a long time.I do worry if i might broke her ribs or even interupt her normal heart rythm while doing chest compressions on her but so far she's ok.Seriously i love her so much and really don't want her to get hurt just because of my weird fetish.Is this something normal for a men to have such a fetish?If it's normal/not normal,can you guys tell me what's the logic for such?

Morning i am really p***ed this morning i have moved areas recently and had to leave my gp of 24 years as they said that they could not treat me out of the area,now the area tthat we have bought the house in is telling us that none of them are taking on patients and my old gp surgery are telling me that it is not up to them i am now out of the area.
We pay the best part of £200 a week in taxes and nh we have a 2 year old daughter and i have problems at the moment that need to be tended to by a gp but no one seems to care.
I might be wrong as i do not now the ins and outs of this but i am sure we could get private for the same amount of nh we are paying or maybe even a bit more to make it up.
It annoys me also that there are foriegners coming straight from the boat and be handed doctors all the there health issues sorted and anything else that they due to all these top knobs scared to offend them..i am sorry i have gone on i am just annoyed..

Does anyone have an educated answer as to what might be causing occasional pain in the tip of my left index finger? It is right beneath the nail bed. Feels like a throbbing pain, occasionally shooting. I only get it a few times a day, been going on for a couple weeks. I know this is the large intestine meridian but that's not helping. It does tell me there is a nerve that runs to the tip of that finger that could be potentially acting up...but why? Please only answer if you have a real medical source...I've clearly done enough speculation of my own! Thank you!

I suffer from muscle spasms in my shoulders. I've had a emg done and was told that it is not nerve damage. The doctor wants me to start physical therapy, but I do not want to waste my money. I was wondering if there is a test that can be done to diagnosis muslce spasms?
