About two and a half months ago, I jammed my pinky finger into a person's shoulder. I had it x-rayed two days later which revealed it wasn't broken. I taped it up(that's what the doc told me to do) and untaped it a few days later. After a week or so, it felt fine, although some days it hurt really bad. The bruising lasted for well over a week after the initial injury.

A few days ago, the pains returned in my pinky. I'm a guitarist and now I can't play the guitar with my pinky because it hurts too much to bend it. My mom said maybe it's arthritis. Is it possible to develop arthritis because of a bad sprain? Or is it possible something else is causing my pinky pain?

I also would like to speak with people that currently take Methadone for pain relief, your results, or any problems you may have encountered since taking Methadone. I do not want to hear from former heroin users as your usage is for a different matter.

I have a lot of headaches and back pain and nothing seems to work for either. I have taken many different types of Tylenol, Excedrin, that sort of thing, even Motrin 800 but nothing works. THe only thing that has worked so far is a few Vicodin some friends have given me, but I know I can't just go to my doctor and ask for Vicodin, even though I know it works. Any suggestions??

I dislocated my tail-bone back in mid-June. I still have pain when sitting upright,especially when getting up from sitting position. I've seen an orthopedist (sp), and they x-rayed me ant the tip was still slightly out of wack (October). The doctor gave me a cortizone shot, and some pain pills and said try not to sit on it.

Just wondering if anyone had similar problems and how long it took to get better and if I should really go find another doctor ...again. Doctor's I've talked to said that not much they can do, that it should eventually get better....but 8 months of discomfort seems a bit too long.

(part of my problem is I've been between jobs and working temp jobs so no insurance for the past 9 months...so reluctant to have to fork out the extra money for the same advice).

I was crossing the road, I saw the car coming, but they were going too slow to be of any danger, but I still jogged over the road, but the car sped up and barely hit me on my ankle, sending me spinning around and landing on one knee on the floor, I got up and felt fine but with a mild limp.

When I got home I cleaned the wounds on my knee & back of my ankle and noticed that my ankle had started to swell. so I applied ice (wrapped in a cloth) to the area for an hour, and had a warm bath.

Now ankle is starting to hurt, and my limp has gotten worse.

How long can I expect before the pain is mostly gone, and I can walk freely without much of a limp again?

I was fine until Monday morning, but when I woke up, I had a nasty dry cough, that by mid day rapidly developed into a fever, and severe headaches and body aches. As of today, I am so exhausted and in so much pain that I feel dizzy and can barely even sit up straight. Even Tylenol Ultra barely dulls the head pain, which radiates around my entire skull every time I cough. I also have no appetite.

Are these symptoms indicative of a cold or the flu? At what point should you go the doctor?

Ive just had a baby 5 weeks ago, and my backache is tremendous. Absalotely nothing makes it go away. Its in my lower back all the time, and sometimes between my shoulders slightly to the right. I had an epedural during labour, but it hurt before i had it. then it started getting worse. I wasnt allowed to move even slightly from the sitting position during labour for 16 hours and it hurt then, i think thats what might have started it.

It gets worse everyday and ive tired pain killers and Deep Heat but that made it worse. It feels like the muscels are tense and i cant relax them. Can anyone suggest anything to make the pain go away? Im desperate now
