I keep getting pains in the back and side of my head, this usually happens everyday. I have tried all sorts of approaches such as relaxation, and aromatherapy, and of course regular pain relieve medication but nothing seems to help. I know other possible ideas such as if there are any herbs I could take to relieve the pain?

I am not sure if I have a nose ring back stuck in the back of my nose, my Doctor said they might have to put me to sleep (when I go in) But really think i swallowed it.Also I am petrified on way or the other. Being put to Sleep is not a Idea that sits with me.

why and how do people differ in tolerating pain, i usually exagerate my pain sensation involuntarily for example when i go to the dentist or any other painfull procedure almost always they say that i do not tolerate even mild pain so what should i do to "increase my pain threshold" i mean to be able to tolerate more pain?

I don't know if I have water retentions, but whenever I drink more than usual, the next day I weigh much more. This is especially annoying since I am dieting. I admit that I use a lot of salt and don't really drink much, not more than maybe one pint of actual fluid other than in foods. What should I do? Cut the salt and start drinking 2 litres a day? But then I would gain so much weight with all that water in my body. And I can't live without salt.

I went to my doctor and she already told me to not eat after 7 p.m., to sit up after I eat, and to sit up in bed when I sleep. However, the pain is still really bad. I took Gas-X for bloating, and I've been taking my normal Acid Reflux meds. Any other suggestions for pain??? *I'm only 15, so no pain killer things or Asprin.

I recently received an epidural steroid injection in my back after years and years of agonizing pain. To my surprise, the pain disappeared. Unfortunatley, however, the pain is starting to resurface. In an earlier appointment, the surgeon mentioned that it would be possible to 'deaden' the nerves in that area so that the pain would be gone permanently. Has anyone heard of this? Would it even be possible?

When my cat brought home a field mouse, I tried to get the mouse away from her, to take it back into the woods. It was obviously injured. I tried to pick it up with a towel to protect MYSELF, but the little stinker (only doing what it knows to do to protect ITSELF) turned around and grabbed my finger and bit down with upper and lower teeth, puncturing the end of my finger. I have recently had a tetnaus shot. Is there anything else I should be concerned about for my own safety..concerning MY health? Thanks in advance for your advice!

I recently developed a sharp pain around my hip/buttocks and its more painful in the mornings. I get a sharp pain when I get out of bed in the morning and seems to be right where my hip would be and its extreme pain when I get into my car in the morning and sit down at my desk in a chair. It kind of feels like my hip needs cracked or something. By mid morning I don't notice the pain and maybe it's because I ignore it or maybe it's just that it's really bad in the mornings. I also have a numbing sensation on my skin around that area. It kind of feels like that area fell asleep.

Overuse injury in my elbow! PLEASE HELP!!!?
I have an overuse injury in my arm. It's little leaguers elbow. I need to know how to treat it (more than RICE) and how I can repair it. Will physical therapy help me at all? I am just finishing up my track season (I throw shotput, javelin and discus) and soon I will be participating in softball. I've been told not to do it but I really want to. Every time I throw I get an intense pain on the medial side of my elbow. I love sports and I would absolutly hate to give them up but if I have to I will because I want to be able to play tennis in the fall.

PLEASE HELP ME!

I get a pain behind my eye. When i went t the octions they said my eye was fine and when i went to the doctors they said that it might just be to do with a pain in my jaw (i have hyper moblity of the joints). Now it continues to happen and the paracetimol they gave me to use has stopped working even knowing i am continueing takeing it. I thought it was a migrane but i never passed out my eye just goes really red.

Also while im questioning and dont waste anthour 5 points.
My bones click regualey, espceialy when it is cold. my body feels warm but i know im cold. its not hyper thurmea since im not deaed yet and can spend many hours in the cold. but my bones become stuff. and click seems to be the only thing which works.

My neck clicks regualy and the muscels are tight in my neck. The doctors said that my eye could be jue to my neck as that is where the musscles are but that dosent explain why my joints click regualy.

I am 17 years old, wighe 7 stone, 6'4" about.

In '97 I had back surgery with rods being put in & spinal fusion, healed with no problems. 2 months ago I was in a severe MVA & screwed up my back. I have no primary physician & the ER referred me to a one, who referred me to a chiropractor do to my back surgery. I'm being treated by the him 3x per wk & also recieving phys therapy. I'm out of work & have no money, however the car insurance is paying for my treatment. I haven't had no pain for about a month really. My upper back back just right of my spine start killing me about 3AM Tuesday & been hurting since. I'm literally crying from pain. The chiropractor examed me yesterday & said if I'm still in pain let him know today when I go in, which I plan to. It feels like one of my rods is pushing on the skin, however my Xrays from the MVA didn't show anything wrong with my rods, I haven't did anything to cause the pain & nothings wrong visually, also have tingling/itching sensation where pain is. Any ideas on what may be wrong?
