So my grandmother, who is 82, broke her thigh bone and as everyone told me and my family that the bone at that age doesnt grow that good and scared us. but it started to heal .. only after a month.. and is STILL healing..but now because of her injury he started to get this weird pulling/tightening feeling on her lower parts of her legs which i belive is the DVT deep vein trombosis... and the only treatment that i found is either surgery with a filter or.. medication.. i found heparin medication thats supose to make the clogs smaller.. i was just wondering since my granmother had blood problems when she was younger so is there any way i can find out if she can take it or if she shouldnt because my grandma is in europe and its hard to get the same good pills there....

Lately I've been having chest pains, and it feels like my chest is tightening up on me. I only notice this while I am sitting down. I feel the pressure when I slouch, and when I straighten my back it relieves the pain. I have not gone to the doctor because I thought it would go away but it hasn't. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be, and how to fix it?

Neither one can make you totally painfree. The dope, if taken to become painfree will turn you into an addict living in "LaLa Land" where hypnosis is not addictive. I would rather not get answers from professional hypnosis people but from other chronic pain patients that have experience with both.

Back in the beginning of January I had an ovarian cyst that ruptured in me and I went to the gyno yesterday and was checked out for it. So I had like 3 days of menstrual cramps starting on Tuesday night and they were really bad on yesterday(Wednesday) and they finally sort of ended at like 2:00 today. They were painful cramps. Is it possible for your muscles to kind of hurt down there or feel some pressure? I was wondering cuz like my last period wasnt that heavy and this one is kind of heavy and with the ruptured cyst and all i was just wondering if this could happen

I've had lower back pain for about a year and a half now. It started after a martial arts tournament and ever since then I've experienced pain in my lower back right above my buttocks and about two inches from my spine on either side. I also found two lumps/knots in the area. My lower back and thighs/hamstrings feel trembly and weak from time to time as well, almost to the point where they may just buckle on me.

I have been to numerous doctors and none of them have been able to give me a clear answer as to what these lumps are. I've had numerous MRIs and X-rays as well, all of which showed that everything's "normal." Please help if you have any insight! Thanks!
