Somebody please help me!!I recently posted a question regarding dental pain. Well ive been to my dentist and he is sure the pain is not coming from my teeth and i have no infection anywhere. My symtoms include severe pain in my left temple, left ear, left side of my jaw and the left side of my throat. On occasions the left side of the roof of my mouth becomes painfull. Ive have taken every painkiller i can get my hands on and nothing is working!! Has anybody else ever experienced similar symptoms that were NOT dental related? This has been going on now for 4 weeks and the pain is getting worse.

My friend suffers occassionally from what she describes as a "creaking" in her ear, it apparantly sounds like a floorboard creaking. i told her she was hallucinating...but seriously what could this be? is it just movement of earwax?

I have been applying hydrogen peroxide and neosporin and had used a large bandage until yesterday when I ran out of bandages. It is still red and hasn't scabbed over yet & shows sign of infection I believe - itching and burning is the main symptom.
Do I need to see a doctor or should I try applying some other kind of topical medicine?
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

on top of that, i also did house cleaning - exerting more effort with my hands more than i would have done working out in the gym. I'm not too concerned about the muscle pain but the pain in the joints and the change in appearance (it looks arthritic) is freaking me out. will it go back to looking normal or have i totally damaged my hands?

The withdraws are the worst thing I've ever experienced. I get cold sweats, the runs, I even feel like I'm jumping out of my skin. I start throwing myself around. I'm a mess. I've been on 100 mcq 48 hrs, for over 2 years. I have genetic pancreatitis. My Dr has tried to reduce, but I just go threw immediate withdraws. I feel hopeless. I almost feel like ending it sometimes, not that I want to, but that's how bad the pain gets from the withdraws. Please, if anyone knows how to get off fentanyl safely, without reducing, please let me know. Thanks for reading my question, andrew.

My five year old daughter dislocated her radius and Ulna, and broke off part of her humerus. She had surgery within hours, and had wires to hold it together. She is currently in a splint. It was 10 days ago, and although she is fairly active running around playing, she is still asking for pain releif constantly. When I questioned her activity, she told me that she "doesn't want to be sitting down taking medicine for the rest of her life, she wants to enjoy herself". Does anyone know how long it is going to keep hurting? I can tell it still hurts by the way she breathes, and she gets a slight temperature when it's hurting a lot.

I went on a very low calorie diet for about 3 months i took in between 400 and 600 calories a day, I lost 41 pounds. Before i went on that diet i felt fine i had no problems, And one day a pain that felt like a heart attack woke me up out of my sleep, This happend about 6 times, The doctor thinks that it is my galbladder from rapid weight loss. I haven't done the tests because i have no insurance and i want to wait. Ever since then i feel like there is something not right with me, I don't feel normal i always have a headache, I am so tired all the time even with a good night sleep, I am a hypocondriact to some degree, But it seems like it has gotten worse since the pain has started now i go to bed everynight thinking i wont wake up. Thinking that i am going to die. Could this all just be in my head? and where my thoughts are always focused on whats wrong my body is making me feel this way?

I went out for a walk tonight, part of the way through i decided to sprint for about a minute, after i stopped sprinting, i developed a sharp pain in my chest and my breathing was much more difficult than it should've been for the little ammount of exersize i did. about 15 minutes later, after i had returned to my room and was relaxing, the pain had almost subsided, but every time i tried to draw a breath, it took quite a bit of effort, almost like my throat was smaller and i had to pull harder to get the same ammount of air. eventually all my ailments went away, but this is the second time this has happened, ive read up on heart attacks as well as other things, and it doesnt seem like any of them, im 18 years old and mildly active.
