I have had the most HORRIBLE experiences with doctors. I won't go into details, but I received a really bad injury during a surgery last year and do have a pending lawsuit. I do not feel this is any business of the new doctor in another state that I am going to see. Any one know anything about what questions can and cannot be asked by a new doctor and where I could obtain more information from? Thanks in advance for your answers!

How long does Bursitis usually last for you? I believe I have it, but I cannot inspect the painful area because it is on my left shoulder blade and both sides of the base of the back of my neck, but mostly my left shoulder blade. I still don't know when the pain is triggered, just randomly as I move. My neck is so messed up from it though I can't hold my neck straight up comfortably. I think it is from me always standing and sitting up straight, or at least trying to, more than the average person would. Well, now you know the symptoms so if it isn't bursitis you can tell me, but otherwise I just want to know how long it usually lasts (personal experience or researched answer) and/or possible cures or pain reducers for it. Thanks much.

Heres the story:
A few days back I was sitting on my bed, just like, chillin, reading whatever. I strechted my legs out, and all of a sudden I got a blinding pain in my neck that creeped up to my head. It started throbbing, and I had no idea what happened. It went away after like 5 min, so I forgot about it and moved on. Now today, I was watching TV, and I stretched my legs again, I was feeling tense so I just stretched them out really far. Then once again, I felt the pain come. But this time, it was excrutiating...(if thats spelled right) It split right up the left side of my head, and (this happened like 1 hr ago) continues to sting painfully. It's like a constant throb against my head, and its killing me. I dont know whats going on, and I feel like something will happen to me. I really need help

Hello. I play a lot of soccer and have really bad lower back pain. This happened last summer. Whenever i lifted my right leg i would get this pain on the lower right side of my back above my ***. My doctor told me to put ice and take ibuprofen. After i did that it stopped. Now its on the left side and i did what my doctor told me but it wont stop now.. I always did crunches and stopped about 1 month ago and started running. i want to know if the running injured my back or if my abdomen isnt strong enough after i stopped doing crunches? Should i start doing crunches or stop any physical activities? Thank you

I have had orthoscopic surgery and manipulation on both shoulders in the last year and the doctor has cut off my pain meds, and the pain is constant everyday. I need a home remedy. I still have frozen shoulder in the left, and take physical therapy 4 times a week with little results but a lot of pain, ALL THE TIME.

My hubby is currently taking suboxone due to narcotic addiction. He has just started on this program and on the med bottle it states "no more than 12 mg max a day". I have just found out that he is taking around 20 mg. I have a call in to his doc but would appreciate some input on this. He has done rehab, methodone treatment, etc. This was his last chance with me and I am unsure if this is common (needing to take more than prescribed) or just another form of addiction. Thanks.

My Dr. prescribed Ambien and Ativan for anxiety that I have at the moment. The directions say to take 1 - 2 Ambien 10mg at night and 1mg of Ativan every 8 hours for anxiety. So, lastnight I took 1 Ativan around 6 and 2 Ambien at 9. I slept great. However, today, I feel hung over! I feel like I could sleep all day long. It's 3:30pm and I still feel this way. I haven't taken the Ativan today because I'm trying to shake off feeling tired. Has anyone here every taken 2 Ambien 10mg?
