General Health Care - February 2007

I'm 20 years old, I'm male, I've been suffering from chronic pain for six years of my life... please help.

Symptoms: What "feels" like polyneuropathy, chronic pain; everywhere (muscles, bones, tendons, everywhere). The pain is [more] concentrated in my hands and feet than it is in, say, on or in my head. The pain is ALWAYS worse when lying down, and always worse with topical application of heat.

Curiously, the pain was deactivated" after smoking marijuana for the first and only time; however, the marijuana was [likely] laced because I had a "very bad" trip. The pain was gone for two years until... I tried prozac, which reactivated the pain to its prior acuity.

Here's what possibly caused this pain: 1.I wore a pair of uncomfortable shoes for a year; 2. I worked at Mcdonald's restocking (heavy lifting); 3. played a brutal game of bloody knuckles; 4. was on about 12 different antidepressants before pain (not congruently).

Thank you,
Av

I just got over the stomach flu roughly two weeks ago, but am now experiencing what seems like the introductory phases of nausea again. What could be causing this? Is it possible to get the stomach flu twice in the same month?

I've been getting this constant headache for going on my sixth day now. I've tried Advil and Sinus Medicine, but neither of those worked. I live in Phoenix, is there something going around? Or could this be something more serious?

i'm not sure how common this back problem is - i know a gal at work has it too, so. it's getting worse. i was supposed to start physical therapy for it last year, but i had a lot of things going on and never got around to it.
one of my vertebres (sorry for spelling) in my lower back is slightly turned/crooked. it affects all of my surrounding muscles in my lower back and even around my hips and into my ab muscles EVERY DAY. i've had this pain for atleast 4 - 5 years now. it hurts when i stand or sit for a long time, or to bend over. it mostly hurts when i lay down! i know i will not be able to sleep on my back or stomach very much longer now... i'm almost 3 months pregnant. it hurts the worse sleeping on my side. i have neck aches too that i am unsure if it's related. i can NOT get comfortable. i've tried a pillow between my legs but it doesn't work. i wake up in terrible pain probably all the way up there to an 8/9 on a 1-10 scale.

anyone else have the same problem? or suggestions?

I am facing something very difficult and am wondering if anyone has any knowledge about this or has ever faced anything like this before:

I have been having terrible gastric problems for over a week now. Have even posted on here for advice. Very painful, strong gas, bad diarrhea, stomach pains, etc.

In addition: as of two days ago I am having sudden difficulty with my left hand. I cannot hold anything in it without dropping it, cannot type (I type 85 wpm...always have)...It is as if I my mind will not let my hands do what I am telling them to do.

As I mentioned in my earlier posts about my stomach, I am 2 weeks from my health benefits. I did check...this new company will not consider giving me them any sooner. And I am in no position to go to a doctor before that time.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Stress???

Could there be a connection between the two situations? Which strike me as utterly different and impossible to connect?

Any advice? TY!!!!

I sprained it 2 1/2 weeks ago. They did not feel they needed to xray it at the time. It's now still swelled on top of my foot at the bottom of my leg and is very weak and hurts a bit still.

There may be a chance I could be pregnant. If so, this will be my 2nd child. My nipples...just my nipples are sore! I have suffered from heartburn with my first child and last night I woke up with heartburn.

Now I would like to know your lower tummy just above your pantyline...is this area to be puffy or sorta harding?

This sounds pretty weird that I don't remember just 6 years ago with my son????

One of the moms at basketball last week was telling me that she cut her hand really bad on a blender blade and used honey to help heal it. She heard it from someone else who grew up in a family of a dozen children and this is what their mother used because she couldnt be running to the doctor all the time with so many kids. She said it has to be unrefined honey. Has anyone tried this? How do know the difference between refined honey and unrefined?
I have 3 "busy" boys at home and this would probably come in great, it if works (not too graceful myself either- LOL)
Thanks!

I feel like I have a splinter in my thumb, but I cannot find anything and it seems to come and go. Could a pinched nerve cause my finger to feel like it has a splinter in it?
