I am having lower back pain, located very low in my back below my beltline. I need a back brace/support/belt (whatever term you want to use) to wear while I am at work. I do a lot of lifting at work.

I need a recommendation of a very good belt to buy, one that is comfortable and actually decreases the pain. Hopefully one that is available at a major retail chain, I need it today.

Thanks

Ive had this pain in my left butt cheek that runs down to my knee on and off for about a week. My doctor cant see me for a few days. Is there anything besides aspirin that can ease the pain until I can see the doctor?

I have already been through physical therapy, I am now facing the surgery. The problem is, everybody is telling me it will make it worse. I have not heard 1 success story. So, my question is, those of you that have had this problem, what worked for you? I am in constant pain and would appreciate any alternatives.

I woke up late this morning and my eye was glued shut with eye goobies (Sorry for the info) so i go into the bathroom and my eye hurts. Almost like something is in it but nothing is. It's all red, not pink.

Do I really need a doctor for this?
Will it clear itself out?

I am suffering from lower back pain (just mild so nothing really to worry about) when I get up in the morning, has anyone tried one of those latex 'memory foam' mattress toppers? Do they work? are they worth it?

Thanks

Every time my neck cracks out I end up with a constant headache which eventually turns into a migraine, and the only way I can stop the pain is to go to the chiropractor. Any suggestions from somebody who knows how to stop the headaches? Thanks.

i know that picking a scab makes it more likely to have a scar, but if there's not a scab, but just new skin that hasn't all the way healed yet, will cutting the same spot again leave a scar? what about putting a bandaid so the sticky part is on an old cut that hasn't totally healed yet?

I had an accident at work I still have headaches and back pain my chiropractor said It s a nerve that Its pinching. One I first went to the workers comp dr she said it was not work related she said It was a seizure and they described like I fainted. I doubted because I had a concusion and I was unconcious but as far as I remember I was loading a heavy box when I fell. They suspended any benefit and I still have pain in my back and horrible headaches I cant sleep like I used to. Its 3 am and I am still awake my lawyer chose an other dr I am going this week I think. I have been fighting and fighting all I want is to be sure I get proper medical care for some time since I dont know If I will have concecuenses in the future and my leg hurts a bit when I move it. what should I do the Emergency room diagnostic is lumbar strains and sprains and head contusion
My neurologist said it was a concusion but I still get horrible headaches and I dont think I have fainted as far as I remember I fell

I'm 21 and i work for a drafting company. i work from 7 to 5 everyday during the week. but i have friday afternoon off. but i'm also a full time college student, so i go to my classes after work from 7 to 9. i talk with my boyfriend every night before i go to sleep. so i basically only sleep 4 to 5 hours a night. and during weekends, i just want to go out. so i sleep about the same or even less during the weekends. and on top of all this, i'm always stressed out about work and school. i know it's not good. but what exactly is so bad about not sleeping enough? what's gonna happen to me?

i am a cheerleader... ((i fly)) and our season is 11 months a year 5-6 times a week so my body takes a beating... but lately my back has been hurting TERRIBLY.

dont get me wrong.. i have had back problems forever.. i have mild scoliosis and back problems do run in my family... so the usual pain i can take...

when i do a scorpian though... the past 3 days... ((this is on one leg and where my left leg goes behind me and bends up so that my hands reach up and behind my head to grab my foot.. in other words... my foot almost touches the back of my head... anyways... i get this hot almost burning feeling in my left side of my back. it gets so painful i actually can barely stand when i come out of the stunt

now my first question is why??.. i have done that many a times and have never felt that feeling before.. i am pretty sure it is muscles because i definetly does not feel like it is the bones...

secondly.. i have been taking motrin and resting.. but what else can i do to help

Someone told me that this was possible, but I am pretty skeptical that it actually happens, since I've never done it or seen another person do it.

I thought it was a common term. To put it bluntly "Racked" = pretty much anytime the groin and associated parts get hurt... women are mostly immune to it, I think.
