I have an ulcer and can't take pain killers that can damage my stomache linning any more than it is. What can I take instead?
I had a headache the other day, and I had no idea what I could take for it.

I don't see how because how would they do the surgery if your eyes are closed but I don't think I could just sit there and watch them cut my eye... I don't know.
I'm really nervous.

I often suffer from pain in my head , not complete head but some part generally in back part , This type of pain is not like the "headache" pain. It is like when we suffer from some head injury, like if the head bangs on the wall.....we have a pain that last few days.

I get this type of pain.......and it suddenly occurs and vanishes in a day and occurs back again after some days......i haven't got any head injury.

Does anyone know......what it cud be.

After my husband fell 12 ft doctors ordered a MRI and said he had a stress fracture of the L5. Then they ordered a bone scan said it was an old stress fracture and workmens comp would not pay to repair the stress fracture. I have read all kinds of articles on a bone scan and have found no evidence that age of a stress fracture is determined just that there is a stress fracture. Can you lets us know if the age of the stress fracture can be determined?Thanks.

I set at an office desk 7 hours a day, 5 days a week... by noon by back and shoulders are killing me. Sometimes the pain just continues up my back until I have a headache. What can I do to alleviate the pain without taking pain killers?
Sometimes I sneak into the breakroom and do stretches, but that only helps for a few minutes.

I've had tension headaches for 2 weeks straigt, been on multiple meds all has failed, and had two CT scans that came out fine. I have nausea off and on and have a stiff and achy neck. I am irritable and depressed possibly from the constant pain. The doctor has no clue what is wrong with me then it dawned in me. I was in a car accident about three weeks before the headache came on. I didnt bump my head or anything, but there was enough impact to where my head could have jerked enough for whiplash. I saw a chiropractor who did take x-rays and saw a sign of whiplash in my neck. Is this causing my headache? Is it possible the symptoms were stagnant for three weeks? Do I have a case against the liable insurance company? They already accepted liability and paid to fix the car. Still working the diminished value investigation. Help me please! I am in so much pain and want to get better.

I very rarely drink alcohol and get at least 8 hours of sleep but I wake up most every morning with a headache. Sometimes they go away within the first hour or so and then sometimes they linger all day. Although I say I get 8 hours of sleep I'm a light sleeper and my sleep is interupted probably 4 times a night (kids waking up and trips to the bathroom). I don't know what the deal is but am tired of dealing with the headaches.

I remember as a child my parents using the old-fashioned way of poking at it with a needle and tweezers. I started to try that route but my 2yr old daughter got scared at the sight of the needle. Does anyone have a tried-and-true way that is easier?? I'm scared of doing it wrong and causing an infection.

In the past 3 weeks my sis has had 2 seizures. We have been to ER both times. Bloodwork is normal, CT is normal. These were tonic-coloic seizures. Now a week after the 2nd she is feeling "little shocks" when she tries to think/remember or speak. She is "thick tongued" and has a difficult time saying what she is thinking. The ER said it was an isolated incident and has not followed up with getting her into the neuro clinic. Her family MD doesn't seem to be concerned at all but is getting her a referral. She has been taking levothyroxine for about 6 months and celexa for about 2-3 months. Her MD has taken her off elavil and toradol. She was taking these to help with a shoulder dislocation she had repaired 1.5 yr ago but reinjured during this last seizure. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be going on? I am getting really worried and noone else seems overly concerned. I know we need to see Neuro so don't tell me that--we are working on it. Thanks

so far, before i coded starting with uncontrolled seizures, asytolic cardiac ( 18min, defib x's 2) and respratory colapse,
i had stroked-recovered all functiions, and had 3 prior blunt force head traumas which i have also made partial recovery from.
i understand the differences alone might mean how/ if any functiiions i can recover aggain from ttthis last time,
the only reason i ask is to better understaand how i caan just not be so frusted as things slowly return, or might not.
this may soound too scary for you to reply back to, but,
you'd be surprized how alot of hope or even opinions will keep a person going.
i will go on.
just answer, it's ok , you don't have to be a dr. to give hope.

I was just in the washroom. Someone tried the door and found it locked but opted to try the door 2 more times. I found that pretty annoying. I mean what are they thinking? If they tried the door a few times it will magicallly open? Irritating.

I was aplying makeup on my eye and notice a bloody spot,swollen, on the white part of my eye.. Like a broken blood vessel. 30 min. later I looked at it again and its getting worse and spreading. I don't remember poking it or anything like that. My eye is dry.. I was prescribed some valium, could this be doing it? I was in the hospital 4 days ago, they gave me blood thinner, could it be that? Any ideas?
