General Health Care - March 2007

Pain started March 5th. Thought maybe I slept on it wrong but I have a waterbed. Tried to just work through the pain. I have no apparent swelling or bruising. Just pain that has went from a 4 to ablout an 8 now. I have an appt on Friday to see the doctor but the pain is getting worse day by day. Should I go to the ER? I haven't fell, slipped, or anything else that would have caused this. Maybe dislocated? The only other thing I think may contribute is I have rotating hips. After childbirth they never fully closed. Could this be a factor? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am debating a drive to the hospital.

I slipped rather hard on my back yesterday and though I can walk around, I have shooting pains in my gluteus maximus while moving around, or sitting on it. My leg is a bit numb as well. Do you think I fractured it? How do I know for sure?

kinda all over my back, neck, shoulders, and kinda stomach and sides. I haven't slept much in the past few weeks, and suddenly in the past two days I've begun to sleep for 10 hours at a time, very soundly. And now I have these aches, and the weirdest thing is that up by my ribs, it hurts to even rub there. Could this just be because I've slept so soundly and the stiffness is radiating forward, or is it something else. And if it is, what could it be?

Okay, so I went to roll up my window and it hurt when I grabbed the handle, and it hurt to grab the steering wheel as well. Today it doesn't hurt to grab things so intense, there is a faint pain, however. The pain is on my left hand where my index finger attaches to the palm. On that joint my bone is "pokey" (for the lack of a better word). The rest of my fingers (and my friends) do not have that, and I don't recall hurting it prior to grabbing the window handle in my car. Any ideas?

My Girlfriend will be having an operation soon (Hernia) where she won't be able to walk for awhile. How is she going to get pain medication (or any medication) filled at the pharmacy if she obviously can't drive there (or walk) to get it?

How do we do this?

Okay, so my mother and I are having this dispute. She thinks I should go to the doctor, and I think I'm probably ok without.

1) The head injury took place Wed. I'm out of the 48 hour danger period.

2) Though I was dazed after the injury, i didn't lose conciousness.

3) I saw an urgent care doctor for the pain last night. He checked my eyes and prescribed me some medicine for the pain.

4) Yes I am still in pain, having difficulty concentrating, thinking up to my normal standards, playing my instruments up to my normal standards (reading both text adn music is suddenly more difficult and not as natural) etc. but as I understand it, that is normal after a minor head injury.

Do I really need to see another doctor?

I dont know why but I only get them after I get home from seeing my boyfriend, I think it might be axiety from missing him so much but I dont know. It happens in my lower left side and sometimes its in my spleen area and sometimes its my whole side and it feels like a vice grip just squeezing me. It feels like a cramp but I dont think it is. It feels better if I hold it or lean over but not when I sit up straight. Sometimes it gets so bad that I have chest pains and neck pains and it seriously feels like Im having a heart attack. Any ideas what this is? Please help.

The headaches are recurring and moderate but not usualy severe. It has been going on for at least 2 months. However, because this is happening so often this is making it unbearable. I have been to the doctor alot recently for sinus related problems (nosebleeds.) Will be seeing the doctor again about the headaches but until then, I was just wondering if anyone on here has had headaches for this long or if anyone knows what could be causing them. Thanks for answering.
