Tylenol with Codeine, does anyone know how long it takes to feel some pain relief from this medicine?.

Doctor said take 2 tablets every 4 hours. Since it is 3am in the morning a pharmacy isn't open to ask.

I went behind my friend and put my arms around her to crack her back, and i did it, her back cracked and then it felt like something cracked in the front!

She dropped to the ground and was holding the center of her chest, like right in between her boobs. where her sternum was, i felt it and it didn't feel broken or out of place. my other friend said that it happened to him a long time ago and it was a muscle or something, he said it hurt alot but he got over it.

i asked her how bad it hurt and she said it hurts to breathe but it's bearable. she now has a hard time walking, or so it seems. and she is in pain when she gets up or moves around. i made her lie down on the bed so she doesn't move.

she said she'll be alright, but i'm just worried and curious as to what happened,

can anybody help out? do you know anything what so ever about it? any ideas?

I've reached the point where I just can't take it anymore. Is there anyone out there that can help me. I'm not looking for drugs, I'm looking for guidance. I want to hear about your own experiences. Some days the pain just gets to be so unbearable. I've heard from other people that have had TKR that one day I'll just wake up and the pain will be gone. How true is that? I've also been very depressed, I'm not thinking about killing myself, but I just need some help. Any words or prayers of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

This pain started only this midday and is only in the last (top) joint of my left index finger. The base of my thumb joint is swollen with a small knot, but it doesn't hurt there. The finger is somewhat stiff and it hurts to type with it, and it aches when I straighten it. Is this an acute arthritic episode (my joints ache sometimes but the character of this ache is different, almost like the finger was smashed but I know it wasn't)? I punch a heavy bag and use weight machines, but I experienced no pain until today, two days after my last workout. I strike the bag with the index and middle knuckles, but I have seen no bruising at all there, nor do those areas hurt. There is a slight dark area in the web between thumb and index finger. Another exercise that I don't believe plays a part is swimming, wherein I use the hands to pull myself along in the water. I suppose it is possible I injured myself and didn't realize it, but wondered if it could be arthritis of a sort I've never had.

-My vision has not blurred since, I don't feel nauseuous, I feel completely fine. It's just my head that bothers me.

Ok... so I hurt my foot in the summer and I went to the Dr. and he x-rayed it and said that I had a stress fracture. He put me in a walking cast for 3 weeks and rest and then on and off for the 3 weeks after that. It has now been months and I'm still in pain. It is pain in my heel but if I hold my foot a certain way it hurts even more. It hurts mostly if I've been on it alot or in the mornings. I wait tables and I have to be on my feet alot. I 've tried insoles and shoes and no matter what it hurts. And it hurts alot, as much as it did when i was first diagnosed. Was I miss diagonesd? Or am I not healed yet? Please someone help me. Is there a exercise I can do that will help this?

I don't actually have a fever(considered 101 and above I believe), just 99.5 with drowsiness and achiness. Is Aleve a good pain reliever/fever reducer? After having gum surgery the doctor said Aleve does a better job at handling the body's thermostat than Tylenol which does exactly the opposite of what the body is trying to do. It brings up the fever to fight the germs, whereas bringing it down so much works against the body's natural thermostat. Can anyone help me figure this out?

i have this problem. Everytime ( and like EVERTIME) i touch something metallic, a doorknob, a car, a cash machine, i get a slight electrical shock. Now, it seems funny, my friends call me an alien and everything, but it becomes really annoying after a while and i m always afraid to touch metal caus of the shocks. What is wrong with me? is it smthing in my blood or what? am i an alien?

It happened because I was in the locker room and I reached to get something on the floor from my locker and a woman whose locker was above mineleft her door open, so when I shot up I smashed my head into the locker door( these doors are solid cherry wood so it's rock hard) I don't really remmeber what happened in teh next few minutes except that I fell to the floor and my head was in pain for the next half an hour...I know that i should see my doctor but my mom won't take me unless she knows for sure that there's something wrong with me, i only get the sharp pains when I stand up...is it possible that i have a concussion? I've already looked up the symtoms online...
