My joints dislocate because I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (http://www.ednf.org/). I am a Hyper-mobile Type & recently I've been having excruciating pain in my right hip. I have bursitis in both hips, & I suffer pain in my SI joint as well. Today the pain was simply unbearable; I got very little sleep last night & was crying when the pain woke me @ noon. I'm on Fentanyl 100 micrograms. My pain management doctor prescribes me Oxycontin 10 mg's when I need something extra for these times, so I took one. Usually this works but not today. 6 hours passed, I took a 2nd one. That helped but I fell asleep & when I woke up, was in pain again. I've tried a hot bath, heating pads (wrapped around the hip, & on my SI joint), ice, & massaging it with lotion. Nothing is helping much. It feels like someone is trying to saw off my leg still. Is there something I'm missing that I can do to help it? My next appointment w/my pain doctor is this Friday; I'm just desperate for a fix until then.

I hit my shin at work on January 1st. It bruised very badly. Still today, almost two months later, it is discolored and there is about a quarter-sized lump on it. It is somewhat painful to touch. What do you think is wrong with it? Thanks.

I have been told it is a form of Keratitis? I don't have pain much only once in a while I'll have a sharp pain not often. My eye that is bothering me the most that day waters but not all the time. It takes me a hour in the morning to clear my eyes some. It never goes away just gets worse some days. I'm losing my eye sight! This can't be because I'm 50? I Had good eyes up until I was exposed to microtoxins, do you think that could be something to look at?

A friend gave my flexeril for pain medication. I have only used vicodin. Is it the same thing? And what dosage of flexeril would be equal to 500mg of vicodin?

I broke my ankle three weeks ago. When I first got the cast put on the swelling went down immediately and the pain went away as well. One week ago I fell on my broke ankle and knocked my foot out of alignment and had to get a new cast put on. There were xrays done and no bones moved. Ever since the new cast, my foot swells worse everyday and my foot is purple. Also, the pain is excrutiating and feels like I just rebroke my bone. I went back to the doctor and he said I wasn't elevating it enough. I elevate it all day at work and then when I get home again. Is it normal for pain and swelling three weeks into the healing process or could something else be wrong?

Like last night I went to bed at 2 AM and then slept until 7 AM and woke up because I felt refreshed and ready to go and wasnt tired anymore, but then I got going with my day and at about 10 AM, I started feeling really tired like I didn't get enough sleep. It just kept getting worse every hour, and now its 1 PM and I feel like I could take a nap but I am at work. What's wrong with me? Why do I wake up so early if I still need more sleep?

Why is it that when I am asleep I get choked? I wake up choking on what looks like clear/yellowish liquid. This happens all the time.
Example: It's like you are asleep with your mouth open and someone pours about a shot glass of water in your mouth before you take your next breath and then when you do you get strangled.
Please advise on what this could be.

Hi, about 4 years ago I was playing football with a few friends and one of them landed knee first on my sternum, he was about 180lbs. Upon impact I felt no pain what so ever however I did notice that certain body movements caused me to feel pressure directly in the center of my sternum. I didnt put 2 n 2 together back then but just recently have. The pain/pressure has not increased but is still noticable. I was wondering if I should be concerned with this problem. I was thinking about having an x-ray done to see if I have any damage there. And if serious would It be fixable?

Thanks
