General Health Care - February 2007

25 male had a reoccurence of disc prolapse in L4-5. I tried taking tarction (intermittent - 50 lbs weight) but it did not help rather seemed to be aggrevating so I stopped it. I am reluctant to try epidural injections. Can some one pls let me know if they have tried spinal decompression, non surgical type eg: DRX 9000 or Accu Spina, can it have any negative impact on the disc prolapse condition. Are these treatments considered as a standard form of treatment for disc prolapses ?

I suffer from headaches a lot and mostly paracetamol does not solve them. I try to drink plenty but do worry a lot so it could be stress. Anyone have a good way of stopping headaches?!

I have had chronic upper back pain for EVER!

I used tramadol for a long time, and it worked wonders, but recently I had an anxiety attack and was proscribed klonopin. The thing is I have no back pain, and I am not taking anything but klonopin.
-
Is this just recession? or is klonopin helpping?
-
Is my back pain stress related?
I've had this pain for years, and Tylenol, or alieve, or anything else doesnt help. Actually, Viccodin helps for a SHORT time, but not well.
This is weird to me. any answers?

I scratched skin off above my chin with my finger nail when I flinched as (too hot) water came out of the shower last night.
It bled. This morning there's a light pinkish patch.

Will this perminantly scar or clear up and become unnoticable? (how long?)
