I have had this for almost 10 years, I manage it with narcotics and pain patches and neurontin (1,200 mg three times a day)
I would be interested in anyone who has this or has any information to share Mine is in my ribcage and pressure helps so I often wear a back brace (although I have NO backtrouble!!) Riding is about the worst on it, but any overwork or lifting at all increases it alot. Its better in the morning usually and worse at night. I have had a all the tests, nothing shows up I have had my galbladder, apendix and an exploratory done.

I just got a cut on my face right above my upper lip, and I had to get 3 stitches. Is there anything I can do to help prevent scarring?

The doctor seems to think that 3 weeks healing time is enough. It took me 12 weeks for my right arm to heal from the same surgery. How can I get the doctor to keep me out of work long enough for my other arm to heal? I think I will need a full 12 weeks just like the other one. I go to see him tomorrow. Any suggestions???

do you think it will be safe for her to fly by June??? She has her heart set on going to my sisters wedding. But I don't think she should go. My dad is planing on talking to the doctor but I just wanted to get some feedback about your thoughts or feelings about this. Thank you in advance.

There are a lot of adverts on TV about the effect of passive smoking. I know three loney disabled people, who smoke.
One of them I see briefly twice a week, one I haven't seen for a while, one I see quite a lot, she smokes 300 a week.
My problem is with the 300 a week one, she requires and wants a lot of help, I buy a lot of her shopping because she can't get out, I make her drinks, feed her bird, and help her around her flat. I have told her I don't like her smoking when I eat my sandwiches, but she does, she got annoyed when a paid carer opened a window to escape the smoke.
In these circumstances, how can I avoid being a passive smoker?

About 8 months ago I was rear-ended and saw a doctor for neck pain. It still hasn't resolved and I want to go to a specialist, but will the car insurance people have issues with that and not reimburse me? I don't want to end up footing the bill in the end, but I am still in some pain! Is this reasonable?

I get plenty of sleep, I exercise and eat right. This has been going on for over a year now, but it feels like it keeps getting worse. It's interfering with my job, my social life, my relationship because I get irritable easily. What is wrong with me? I wake up feeling like I didn't sleep at all and I'm completely exhausted. I tried going to my doctor with no luck. Help!

Last week I bench pressed and the next day when I woke up i was extremely sore. On that day, my brother decided it would be funny to hold me down and punch me in the chest. Every one of his punches hit my left pectoral muscle, (the sore one). Now, two weeks later, i am not sore at all. In fact the soreness left a week after getting hit. But now, I cannot flex my left pectoral muscle. I flex my pecs and my right one comes out and is hard but my left one doesnt even move and is very "squishy", my finger sinks into it. I feel no pain and can move my arm but i cannot flex my left pectoral. I hav also lost a great deal of strenght in my left arm.

Is it possible to get muscle scarring the way i said? Is this muscle scarring? If so how does it heal? And, can scar tissue be exercise?

Please provide as much information as possible and only answer if you know what you are talking about. Do not guess. Please answer if you are qualified.

Thank You

I am depressed and in chronic sever pain. I don't get in to the dr until Wed. - pain management. Right now I feel like the best way to ensure rest is to add in an old painkiller to my current one, take a few unisom, and ambien and a dozen mg of ativan. That's what I've just done and I am not asleep. Please advise.Please

My family and I were out yesterday afternoon on The Sacramento River on a boat. We sprayed ourselves with OFF but we all pretty much got bitten up. This is the worse I have seen mosquitos and it's only March. I got some Gold Bond for the bites (still itching) and some Odorless garlic pills.

Has anyone tried using garlic pills to ward off mosquitos? Is there any types of foods or supplements to help mosquitos not like me?

Thank You,

.... is it normal to have back problems, for example stiffness and easy injuries, to your back after having multiple lumbar punctures?

Are there any long lasting effects?

The last one I had was in 2004 (I think) and I had many (literally 100's) between 2000 and 2004 due to treatment for leaukeamia

My ear still hurts after a week which i know is normal but now my jaw hurts and aches on the side i had my ear pierced. Hope it's just coincidence but was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? It's not infected and i use ear care lotion on it and stuff. Is it worth going to see a doctor?
