in my ankles, especially the right one. The pain starts there and eventually radiates up my outer lower leg. I don't think it's shin splints b/c it's not in my shins, it starts in my ankles and burns very badly.

I am in my 40's. 4 years ago I had to endure a Total Knee Replacement. Several years ago I was hit by a car and it impacted my knee leading slowly but surely to the first TKR breaking apart. I have another TKR surgery scheduled for a new TKR next month. In the meantime, I am in so much pain I can't tolerate it. My DR understands this. We have ordered a walker. He is getting me in to operate ASAP. The problem: He prescribes pain pills becaue and I can't take anit-inflamatories (aleve,etc). When I was in his office a week and a half ago he prescribed me pain pills to be taken even 3 hours as needed. I did. I needed them. I'm not a pill popper, I am in good health. But I just had to take as prescribed and now I am out. The pain is intorlerable. The bone actually broke off inside my knee. Should I ask for another refill so soon or will he get mad? I don't know what to do without them and I have no more. He has been my DR for 5 years. Thanks.

about a month and a half ago i got my industrial pierced and its not bleeding and it doesnt look infected but it is always very sore. I still havent been able to sleep on it and whenever its touched it hurts. the piercing guy told me just to use dial soap to clean it and i have been but i want to know if there is anything that is better or will help it heal. the soap is cleaning it but it seems to get very sore again very quickly. he said to stay away from rubbing alcohol because it will dry it out and i know lavender oil helps sometimes but i dont know what to use.

As long as I can remember (4 and 5 years old even) Ive had neck pain. It happens when I go to bed at night. I toss and turn throughout the whole night, I move pillows all around, switch out pillows, nothing seems to help. My neck pain is constantly everynight. Its recently got worse. Now when my neck hurts it seems like the pain is also going down to the line of my shoulders to my back.
Ive never been in a severe car accident, never hurt myself for where my neck would hurt.
Do you know what it could be?
Could a Doctor make the pain go away?

I'm having extreme period cramps-- they woke me up last night at 3am and i took midol, a bath and got out a heating pad and i literally could not get to sleep it hurt so bad. I feel like my ovaries are being ripped out of my skin and twisted all around, my lower stomach is even sensitive to the touch-- as to where if i lightly touch it with my fingertips it hurts like hell...I can barely walk, but sitting hurts too-- curling up in a ball hurts worse... Im not vomiting

I have a headache, now that sort of travels down to my neck... I really want to go to sleep, but that could be from a late night. Am also only a little dizzy and lose track of thought. It doesn't feel that serious right now.

I was diagnosed in 1992 with (SLE) Lupus. I had started to see a rhematologists , but all he did was prescribed different types of medications, some which were, serzone100mg, xanax 0.25mg, diclofenac sodium 75mg, donnatal, darvocet 100mg, elavil 25mg, plaquenil 200mg, naproxen, and tell me this should help, so I tried taking the medication and it would just make me sicker, so eventually in 2001 I , I finally started back seeing a rhematologist he prescribed, prednisone 10mg, Diclofenac 75mg, misoprostol 200mg, azathoprine 50mg, Imuran 50mg. Going back and forth to different doctors. I did not get any results. So I struggled with the pain all over skin, and under skin is so painful to touch. I strugle eververy day and I mean every day with deep throbbing pain in my left foot upper area near fold, it sends throbbing pain to my left lower leg , I struggle with severe muscle pain with any type of movement , my left leg is more painful, theres more to add on but I have to stop.

I have been taking codeine 30mg, for over 10 years due to the pain of 'endometriosis' and have suffered with the associated bowel problems because of this. I have only been able to cut down on the codeine when pregnant, ( my doctor warned against stopping completely, as withdrawal may cause miscarriage).
Lately, I have been suffering horrific bowel cramps, sickness and other horrible symptoms (which I won't go into on here!)
I have been for the 'magic-eye' for the bleeding and pain, (the endometriosis caused the bowel to become 'stuck' to the uterus, and was separated surgically) which was inconclusive, but needs further investigation.
I am afraid to tell the doctor how bad it has got as he may stop giving me the painkillers (yes, looks like I'm addicted).
In the past, the pain has been so bad, the doctors have come out to give me 'anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory injections with morphine'. Today, bad pain again.
I'm scared that I've caused irreversible damage, what can I do

I went jogging the other day, and my left hip felt like it's been dislocated. Anyway, it disappeared after a dew days. But then I went jogging again, and the pain came back. Do you know what's causing this? It's always on my left hip. Is the way I'm jogging wrong or something? Like I'm putting too much stress on my left foot?
