Right should killing me for 2 days. Went to Urgent Care tonight. Got a shot of anti-inflammatory & 'script for Vicodin, which I took 2. No difference whatsoever. Can barely lift my arm. Pain is really bad. I used pain rub creme, & took a muscle relaxer, too. No pain relief.
Anybody have a similar experience, or can offer some support?

I was surfing the web and I read this one thing that said if you were trying to break your bone (for some unknown reason) you could put an ace bandage in vinegar then wrap around your leg. If you leave it on for like 4 hours the bones will be softened from the vinegar and you could break your leg just from like jumping up and down. Is that true? Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not planning on breaking my leg. I'm just curious if that would really work.

I am 20. I have mild spondylolisthesis in L4 and disc herniation in the same place, disc dessication in thoracic spine, and minor levoscoliosis. My chiropractor tells me it's due to an injury over five years ago but I don't remember anything major happening. All I know is that weightlifting worsened it and triggered the pain. I don't have numbness in any of my limbs but it's hurting me on a daily basis, makes it difficult to stand in one place for a while. Are there any special methods that chiropractors/acupuncturists/osteopaths/etc. can use to treat spondylo and disc dessication? I heard of some chiropractors in ukraine that could use hand manipulation through the stomach to correct this. Anything like this exists in the States? Thanks in advance for any help.

Had lumber laminectomy Feb 20 2007. (2nd surgery on l5s1). Never was out of pain and got worse starting 2 weeks post-op, now with pain down BOTH legs. New MRI showed NEW herniated disk on nerve....The surgeon spent more time today showing me what he cut out, than he did with the problems at hand and said the radiologist sucked and was wrong, there is no herniated disk. Even when I pointed it out on the film, he kept switching back to the picture of where he operated.
I have heard of the people that read the MRI's make mistakes sometimes, maybe miss something. I have NEVER heard of them saying something as big as that is there and it not be. Not only do I see what I beleive is a herniated disk in the pics, but I had and have ALL the clinical symptoms as well...BEFORE the MRI. Seems like the surgeon is afraid I would sue or something. I told him I just need help to get this fixed. He said the pain is DDD and the disk is so thin and I need a fusion, but he is not qualified to do it.

I have become so concerned about things being faxed with our personal information on it, prescriptions with our id numbers on it, etc. Do the pharmacies fax these prescriptions back to the doctor's offices?

I'm currently taking Darvocet for a bulging disc in my back and each pill has 650mg of acetaminophen in it!!! Now, I only need them when I am working my other job because I wait tables at night and the lifting and bending is bothersome and I usually need 2 to get rid of the pain. Now, suppose I want a drink after work like I often do. My poor liver!!!! Now, we all know that we take pain killers for the narcotic in them, right? Has anyone gotten rid of their pain with tylenol alone? Damn, tylenol won't even get rid of a headache for me. It's practically useless as far as I'm concerned.

So, what's the point of putting so much of it in painkillers? Is it simply to make sure drug addicts don't go crazy on it like they do with Oxycoctin? Does tylenol alone actually work for anybody? And If I take 2 darvocets at a time, will it kill me eventually?
