i'm seeing my doctor soon, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has felt this way, and what it turned out to be.

i'm 24, in decent shape and reasonable health, but when i sit for a bit or sleep on my sides, i get these awful pains in my hips that shoot down my legs. sometimes i feel it in my lower back. i just got up from about an hour of sitting on my bed watching tv, and i could barely walk. forget sleep...i toss and turn to accomodate the pain, which eventually subsides. i don't have a history of any injuries in this area, the only thing was a spinal tap at 6 months of age while sick, but i'm sure that has no bearing on the feeling. i've been putting up with this for too long, which is why i'm going to get some answers.

have you ever felt this way? and what was causing it for you? any short term remedies for the pain until my appointment?

I'm really freaked out because I accidentally super glued a flashlight to my forehead. It's really starting to hurt because it has the batteries in it and everything.

Over the years, the muscle around my hands and legs are getting worse. My cousins of my mum's side has it as well. I find it very hard or at times impossible to pick up coins or press the remote. As for my legs, my ankle is also instable. I heard of MD, but what could it exactly be?

I was prescribed vicodin recently for long term use. I am concerned about the amount of tylenol I will be putting into my body. I remeber in high school would would disolve the pill and take the tylenol out somehow ( for recreational use yes) but I cant remember exactly how we did it. Does anyone know? I cant seem to find it on the web. I really need the pain relief but not at the cost of a new liver..

Then my body went OUT OF WHACK big time. I had to have scope knee surgery back in Nov. 06 so that i could do rehab to have a total hip replacement which i had on Jan. 11, 07. THAT went great (the hip) but then the knee started killing me and my back AGAIN. Well, i thought it was my knee but i went to my knee doc today and they did an x-ray on my back. NOW my back is all messed up again................i know they won't do another fusion but what did you think they will do?? I'm now stressed/depressed, etc. i don't know how many more surgeries i can handle??????????? What do you'll think they will do now???? The x-ray showed big spaces between my vertabres.

They aren't major, just small pains from getting shots, waiting a couple days isn't gonna cut it, my arms are killing me. Ice? Stretches? Anything? I got them yesterday and it hurts. Thanks.

I was sick on Sunday, and I guess I'm still getting over the cold, but my nose is stuffed, sometimes only on one side, but usually on two (for the last 2 days). It also just decides at random times to have very thin boogers that just drip out of my nose. I do have allergies, but in the past no alergy medications worked for me. I was wondering if a decongestant would make my nose run more? How else can I get rid of this?

My legs are suddenly aching which is weird since all I am doing is just sitting down and typing on the keyboard. I am a natural fast walker and my legs do not ache when I walk.

I've heard the itching "means it's healing", but what exactly in the healing process causes this itching sensation?

I've been diagnosed with degeneratgive disc and other similar spinal problems. Will the insurance provider at my new employer cover me and if so how do pre existing conditions relate to it? Also, I see a pain management Dr. every other month and he prescribes Lortab for my pain management. Will this be considered treatment for my condition and if so would I have to stop seeing him and taking the meds to qualify for the insurance? I'm not sure I can manage to work with this much pain unless I do take the RX. LOL,,It's always something. I've been trying for almost a year to get Indiana Medicaide so I can have the spinal fusion surgery done but I've had to give up on that and take work in order to survive financially. Any information will be very appreciated. Thanks!

The pill is the shape of a capsule however it's not a capsule - it's white and it's got 3 grooves in the middle. It's got the number 718 on it and it has either a Trident or a M on top of a T. Anyone have any idea?

I run track daily, and about a week ago, my ankle started hurting. It's only the right one, and it hurts on both sides right under my ankle bone. It hurts on the back pad of my foot every time I step on it. I've started using icepacks on it, but it doesn't seem to effect it.
I have a track meet in one week.
I probably can not go to the doctor.
Is my only option ice?
