The more narcotics I take the more my family freaks and thinks I'm going to die. I know better but I don't know how to ease their fears. I've been to 2 pain clinics both say keep doing what I'm doing and won't offer me anything more. They say a pain pump won't work for me. I need relief. Does anyone know of a pain clinic in Minn that works with the patient and not against? Also what is your diagnosis and dosages of narcotics and what are they? I know more than one ??????? thanks to all who answered my other questions. I have tried all that and know all that. I've been in pain since birth so I've tried and tried things. I do live in a small town but have an excellent doctor. I do take marinol and have tried the ssri's, methadone morphine duragesic codones and contins and prednisone which gave me osteoporosis. anyway I'm winded sorry

Why do I feel pain in my calf muscles after I run a little? I didn't feel anything in football or wrestling when I had to run a he** of a lot more...I can even see veins on the right side of my left leg now!! I've never seen them before..I think. Anyways, why does it hurt so much now? Even if I rest for a little and then run like 100 feet I pretty much HAVE to stop...Should I ice it or something?

I just started running track a few weeks ago and the past weeks my ankles have been bothering me a little, i took a break for a day from running, and they seemed to get worse, the past two days that i was running it was terrible, i had to stop, and i iced them. It feels almost as if i twisted them, but I couldn't have since both of them are hurting, that's too coincidental. Anyone know what's going on?

For English class, I can't seem to think of a good topic to write about. I'm looking for a topic that has lots of sources and is very arguable. This topic has to relate to the health care somehow.

If possible, please include a source that can get me started on the topic. For this paper, I need 8 sources, most of which are from articles and also one interview (i could always do an email interview).

any suggestions?

If a child is allergic (really allergic) to mosquitos, does that make them more suseptible to being allergic to bee/ wasps? I know that they are different toxins, but shoud I be concerned about her being allergic to bees even more so? Is her body going to react more than a normal person would? Noone seems to be able to answer this for me. Even her Dr. Any advice would be helpful.

Oh and noone in her family (accept an uncle) is allergic to bees, but she does have BAD seasonal allegies.
