I've been having TMJ pain for about 3-4 weeks along with headaches & neck pain. Does anyone know any good exercises for relieving the pain and tension?? Also, does anyone know what kind of medical doctors treat TMJ? My insurance won't cover treatment from a dentist, only a medical doctor. Thanks! Cheryl

My husband is trying to quit and has been using the patch since January 3rd this year. He did great with the first step...then step 2 he had a cigarette thinking he could just have one. Then during step 3 which he is currently on, he's smoked every weekend.
I am curious if there are many people who quit using the patch? He is thinking about trying Chantix...has anyone used that and was successful? Or Zyban? Or the gum? Tell me what you used to quit. Thanks :)

....last Wednesday, I experienced a searing pain in the middle of the sole of my foot - in the arch - like someone was pushing a screwdriver handle into hard. It lasted only a couple of seconds but it stopped me in my tracks. Since then, my leg has felt stiff and sore and playing football has been difficult. Any ideas?

My sister-in-law and my brother take it fairly often for muscle soreness. My problem is that I already take prescription medications and am concerned that it would adversely affect my liver.

Recently I went to the doctor because I could not move my left hand. My wrist and fingers were in pain, and so was the space between thumb and the other fingers. I have Raynaud's syndrome, so my entire hand is a lot more sensitive now and it turns blue whenever it wants, whether I have gloves on or not.

My other wrist is giving me the same problems but not to that extent. And now it seems like my knees and ankles are always hurting.

The doctor prescribed mobic and ordered some blood tests, but the mobic has done nothing for the pain. Ibuprofen did a better job but I have to take it continuously, and I have a bad stomach that requires me to take nexium. Is there anything I can try that's over the counter for arthritis. I've tried icy hot and bengay, also I take a whole batch of supplements including glucosamine, vitamin D, omega 3s, and prenatal vitamins.

I'm in my early 20s, not pregnant, and whenever I bring these issues up to my doctor, she just writes me a new prescription.

I am 28 weeks pregnant, so cannot take much as pain reducers other than tylenol. So, taking my antibiotics every 6 hours and 1000 mg of tylenol every 7-8 hours. Placing heating pack and doing some light walking to help relieve the pain, but still get that aching pain and want to know how long that is going to last.

When I was first diagnosed with sleep apnea in the summer of 2005 I eighed 280lbs and smoked 1 1/2 packs of cigarretts a day. I had 117 episodes per hour. I was given a CPAP machine set at a pressure level of 10. Since then I have quit somking, over a year know, and now weigh 225lbs on my way to 200lbs. I am still using the CPAP though set at the same pressure. The problem is I am starting to feel tired again during the day. Not to the level it was before I started therapy, but I can feel a difference. I made an appointment with my doctor but the earliest she can see me is July. I was wondering if anyone knew if I am actually causing sleep apnea or something similar by using the machine?

Our house is all electric, so there isn't any gas. From my understanding Radon doesn't cause head aches. Is there anything in our house that could cause this? Could it be the heating system?
