I have a bone on my mid to lower back that I cant seem to pop, but need to badly because it needs it. I used to be able to do this all the time when I was at school but now I cant, hense- no desk to do it in. Is there a way for me to move and actually pop this bone to relieve the pain slightly in my back and it not cause a severe injury?

I have had pain on my right side near my ribs for almost two months now. At times it is like a subtle noticeable pain and others it is stabbing and travels into my shoulder and front to back. It seems worse at nights and after eating. At times it is unbearable but mostly I am able to function on the vicodin which the doctors give me. I have had urine and blood tests, a ct scan and an ultrasound but everything has come up negative. Initially it was thought maybe kidney then gallbladder but no tests show anything.
I am extremely frustrated and have no idea what to do anymore. I am tired of going to the dr.'s office becuase I feel like I am wasting their time and mine, but I dont want to make the mistake of letting soemthing go too far. Should I just keep waiting for it to go away?

Like Vicodens (sp) and perkocet (sp)...How long does it take for them to not show up in your system?

Last night I slipped and fell, but I felt fine. When I woke up this morning, I was in a lot of pain and it hurt to walk. I took some Tylenol. Later at school (around 12:30) I put ice on my knee until 2:15. Now (3:30) it still really hurts. My mom put an Ace bandage on and I took some ibuprofen. I don't think it's swelling, but it still hurts a lot.

I'm going to Quebec this weekend and will be doing a lot of walking around, so I'm afraid that will make it worse.

Should I go to the hopsital or just not worry about it?

Thanks!

I just had an MRI performed on my lower back and it showed (what I expected) a pinched nerve, degeneration of two discs, etc. But then it also showed a loss of curvature due to persistent muscle tightness. Does anyone know what that is, and what it means exactly? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I have a lot of problems sleeping. I don't know what is wrong, but my sholders are always uncomfortable. I just bought myself a $100 memory foam matress topper and it doesn't even help that much! Am I sleeping the wrong way or something? Every night I just toss and turn without any sleep. I can't afford another mattress, or another mattress topper. So it must be some kind of sleep disorder, maybe? And also, no matter what time I go to bed, I wake up at the same time. I could fall asleep at 2 am and wake up at 7 in the morning as usual. On the weekends. RAWR!!!! I NEED HELP!!!!!

Well I had my first fall and hurt my arm :( It seems like I kind of just fell on it really hard I don't think I twisted it, but it happened so fast so I'm not positive what happened. Anyways once I got up I tried to lift my arm to push my hair out of my face and I could BARELY move it and it was really really shaky. Then I tried lifting it up to continue practicing crossovers and I like didn't have the strength to lift it up all the way and couldn't keep it up at all. I can move it around a little now but it's feeling sort of tingly and cold inside and it still hurts..has anyone ever experienced this feeling? Is it something serious or did my arm just go into shock or something?

I have been to chiropractors before and they fix it by popping my back (spinal re-alignement as they call it). If you know of chiropractic techniques to adjust the area between the shoulder blades, please let me know. I would be thankful to you.
