I am having chest pain that has moved from one side to the other. I am going to explain exactly to the best of my ability . I am 24 years of age, and I am a smoker ontop of everything. I was sitting in my chair and leaned back in it cause I have terrible posture, and I started to feel a chest pain come about. I sat up cause I was trying to get rid of it and when I sat up it felt as if someone had stabbed me. I am now kinda dizzy headed, but I dont know if it is because I am about to have a panick attack or if this is something to really worry about. I am going to go with whatever you ppl tell me so come up with some kind of advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, on 12/7/06 I had fell very hard onto a concrete floor. I hit my head back, shoiulder and arm. I have been in physical therapy for about two months to treat this injury.
I first recieved and MRI for my neck and it showed that I posterior disc protusion slightly effacing the ventral csf at c5-6 and c4-5. I also have a disc bulge at c6-7.

At first the pain was quite severe but physical therapy, rest and medication had helped some bit. The problem is that I still get neck aches daily. The pain can get to be pretty bad at times
.
I recently recieved and MRI for my shoulder which showed impingement. The results say: There is a down-sloping acromion which does touch a midly efface the supraspinatus musculotendinous junction. There is tenosynovitis of the biceps tendon sheath
.
I kind of know what this means but not fully. I have alot of pain in shoulder and neck, shoulder is very sore and my underarm is sore and tender. it hurts most when walking/reaching. Also, my elbow started cracking with much pain and my forearm is really tight, my fingers constantly feel jammed and there is pain/weakness in wrist. Also, my shoulder has been cracking.

My question is, I see a my neuro surgeon for a follow up soon but I called the office and they said he does not deal with shoulders. Then, the week after I see my doctor. What kind of treatment should I expect for these injuries and might I need to see another specialist? Also, may I need more physical therapy my prescription is currently up for it and i have completed the suggested course of therapy yet am still in much pain.

Any info/suggestion you may have will be appreciated.

Thank You

I always sit in the same position at the computer, and one leg is always mashed up against the arm of the chair.
I have a dent in my leg from it! LOL
I just noticed it a few days ago, and I try not to sit that way anymore.
Will it ever go away if I STOP sitting like that or stay off the computer? LOL I hope its not permanent...
Guess Im addicted now.

Im a clutz and when i was in my bedroom, I lost my balance and fell and hit my wrist very hard on a dvd player that was on my floor. I did that last night. Now its a little swollen and the bones feel weird and it REALLY HURTS!!! Theres also bruising on the front and back of my wrist!!! Does this mean its broke? It really hurts to type this! If it is broken, does this mean I will have to wear a cast?

I have a problem with feeling sleepy almost all the time I am awake everyday. Once in a great while I will have a day where I am alert good and feel great for no reason. Cannot find a reason for it. I try to track any habits that may or may not be a cause without success. I get plenty of sleep, I do eat a lot of fast food but I also eat a lot of fruit, like oranges, everyday. Waking up in the morning though is hard and even after I get going, abut 4 hours into my day I will just feel sleepy and yawn. I work a physical labor job and I try to exercise on weekends. I do smoke but have all my life and have had this problem before I started even. with out caffeine my days would drag in misery. Does anyone think This may be a medical condition ? Any tips for me ? .............. I feel it's not right that after work I can come home and lay down and sleep straight through til the next morning if I let myself because I don't seem to have the energy.

I'm sure there are cases of both but what is the normal, including, the tendency to avoid re-injury.
