I'm 23 F. I recently started experiencing back pain... oddly I think it was as a result of being in a Pilates class during which I slightly overstretched my back muscles.

Anyhow, the pain has not gone away for about a month and I am slightly freaking out. Now if I sit straight up and twist myself from side to side, I hear a grinding noise. Does anyone know why this is happening? I started noticing it today.

Of course, this is terrible timing because I recently quit my job and now do not have any form of decent health insurance. I'm interested in hearing any suggestions as to what my problem is and what remedies may exist for it (home remedies and professional remedies welcome).

I take 8 Hydrocodone 10/325 daily for chronic back pain. I just had a my screening recently and it came up with no hydrocodone, but lots of oxymorphone. Doctor said they changed labs recently to get more accurate results. Any answers as to how this is possible would be nice to hear.

One from the Doctor is that the hydrocodone could, at the level I am taking be bordering on enough to make it like an oxymorphone or something like that.

Anyone with knowledge would be appreciated.

Please, just keep jokes to yourself for this one!

Thanks!!

It is only on one foot, usually my right. They feel so tight and moving them hurts (almost like a very strong bruising sensation)until the feeling goes away.

I hurt my shoulder drawing back my bow on a deer on October 1st 2006. The bow wasnt too heavy, i was just overly nervous and my muscles sorta locked up. I have pain all the time for a couple weeks, then it was only when i did certain things. The worst pain i experience is when i play softball. I have extreame pain when i go to throw a ball. It also hurts when going to put on a jacket or go to put on a seatbelt. The pain usually only is around when i do certain things, the most extreame when throwing. It has been over 6 mths and the pain is the same. Does anyone know what could be wrong.

My left ear has been hurting the last two days, and I'm scared I may have damaged it.
I have had this pain before, but it has never lasted so long before. I knew it was from overuse of my IPOD and so I would take frequent breaks from using it. A few days ago I listened to a few songs and then the pain started. Do you think my ear can still recover, or have I damaged it? What's your experience? Please help!

Last night, whenever I would turn over, I would get dizzy. I would open my eyes and they'd be going really fast back and forth. My mom said I'm fine, but everyone I've talked to said that I should go get it checked out. Any ideas on what it could be?

I have this Pain just above my right ear that covers an area about the size of my fist. The only way i could describe this pain is hot, but not horribly so. In all truth it doesnt really bother me, pain wise, but it more bothers me with the question of what it is. We all have heard those stories of people that had something really bad, like say a tumor, and never had it diagnosed untill the advanced stages. Now granted when i first got this pain 2 years ago i told my doctor and i went in for an MRI and X-rays of my back and neck and the only thing they found was a little bit of "liguid" in the area of the pain, my doctor said it was nothing to worry about, but now that it is back again, im slightly worried. Even if it turns out to be un-needed fear i would still like to have some opinions from other people, and maybe something to look into.

I asked the question about pot. I can tell who is really suffering and who works in a pain clinic. I am almost 40 years old. I was born with arthritis and diagnosed when I was 7. Every joint in my body is deformed. My tibias are rotated. My arms are rotated. I have had over 46 surgeries due to arthritis. The last one I almost died. I'm damn tired of taking pills and I hate the taste of pot-but it helps better than anything I've tried in 40 years. I have Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, adult rheumatoid arth(they are very different) spinal stenosis, TMJ, osteoporosis, soft tissue disease, tendonitis, bursitis, rheumatoid nodules that cause me much pain, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, everywhere anything connects or doesn't is where I hurt. the only thing that doesn't hurt is my damn nose. My skulll hurts because I have bumps like knots in your back only they are all over my head and they hurt. I can hardly walk and have been in and out of my electric wheelchair for years at a time. But hey

I am so tired of suffering. I am on the max narcotics for pain and pot works better. Why won't they think of something better? The morphine doesn't cut it anymore and neither does the methadone. I have over 12 chronic painful conditions. Help me please. Any ideas welcome.

For the last couple months I am finding it very difficult to get out of bed in the morning. The fatigue is unbelievable. I am not uncommonly tired the rest of the day - I just can't get out of bed in the morning. I am thinking if it were CFS I would be tired all the time.
I am 42 years old. Exercise 3-4 times a week and eat right.

The dr did not offer anything except physical therapy. I've done that, it helps, but the pain quickly returns. Is there some type of surgery to help? This has worsened to the point of waking me from deep sleep with pain. If it is touched (even brushed by the hem of slacks), I cringe with pain. Any feedback will be appreciated. I must make an aggressive decision soon. Thanks for the help.
