About 2 weeks ago I started having a slight back ache, only when I would sit for a while. It gradually became worse & worse. It now hurts when I sit, stand, & walk.
The only time I have relief is when I'm lying on my stomach. The pain is in my lower back, right side and sharp pain shoots down my right leg. It also makes me lean to the right when I walk and sit.
Sometimes if I move my back a certain way it gets a sharp pain and switches sides so that I lean to the other side and my hip hurts something awful.
I have gone to the Er and they tested me for kidney stones and an infection all came back fine. I then went to a back specialist whom said I have a pulled muscle and gave me pain killers and muscle relaxers.
Its been going on for weeks now and I just feel that its something else.... they did do xrays and found nothing! Has anyone had this same problem? What was it? And how did you treat it? Is there any special exercises.. Please help! Any help would be great...

I was playing golf ( 1st time) and I think I injured my hand. I have a high treshold for pain so I can't tell if I fractured or have some soft tissue damage. The pain is coming from the trapezoid, trapezium, and scaphoid (area) bones in my hand.

There is no swelling or redness so I'm waiting till next week to see the Dr.

Thanks,
Andre'a

It seems to be more like gas being trapped but it hurts so bad that I have to stop, walk, then try running again. I don't know what it is caused from and it only happens when I run. Any ideas what this may be or what causes it?

i am a teen boy that has a lump (think its bone) in my back in the mid area (i think) of my back, it pokes against the chair only when i don't sit up straight in a chair and its really uncomfy. i think i remember feeling that poking or rubbing sensation against chairs a couple of YEARS ago, but my mom told me it was normal or she didnt know what it was or sumthing (my mom was never big on going to the doctor) and i don't have any pain or anything. could i have a protruding spine or something??? please HELP.

I had hernia repair surgery during a laproscopic gall bladder surgery- also had an ovarian cyst removed- all at once- It was 7/05. I have not heard that I have that recalled kubel mesh patch but I would like to know- surgeon has NOT returned my call. I have gained 20+ since surgery for unknown reason- no other major symptoms- thyroid panel was ok. Anyone know anything?

Hi, I just got accepted into the Nursing program and they told me I need to get a CPR certificate before I start. I used to have one because I used to work at a mental hospital, but it expired in 2006... could I renew it, if so, how and where? or do I need to get a new one, and also how and where... I have no clue! thanks

I was in a car accident Sunday Night. They gave me toradol for pain and sent me home. I followed up with Family Doctor today for pain in back and arms and he gave me Durabac Forte and Orphenadrine ER 100mg to take. This is totally new to me. Has anyone ever taken these and do they work to take the pain away? I cant feel a change yet and I took the meds 1 hour ago?

I'm used to soma for muscle relaxer
