It may be a vein or muscle, im not sure... but i think its too big to be a vein, but it randomly pulsates. It is "spazzing out" to be more specific.

Any idea how to lose it... massage? change diet? stretch before gym?

Have you had this before?

What type of headache do I have?
I have a heaache in my right temple and it started in my neck and moved to my temple. It hurts worse when I cough or bend over. Is this a tension headache? I have been bad about drining water the last few days. Could I be dehydrated or just tense?

I get very sharp pains in my ear.
The last for a second or so and come in short bursts of pain.
I don't really want to waste time at a doctor for him to tell me it's nothing.
They come and go. Any idea? Should I be concerned?

On occasion I get a severe earache. It is on the outside of my ear. My doctor seen nothing wrong, but said I need blood work and might have a tumor in the canal going to my throat. It feels as if someone punched my ear. Meds don't help of course. Anyone ever have this problem, was it solved and how? Any suggestions? Many thanks.

For the past few months, I've been having very bad spinal problems and extreme migraines. My doctor has been throwing pain killers at it and recently had me get an MRI of my brain because no matter what he gave for them, the pain would not go away and I was hospitalized for a day. Twice, and with an IV. Now there has been an MRI ordered for my back as it's acting the same way, and even after two high doses of Percocet within one hour in the ER and an anti-inflammatory, the pain would not stop. Now, I have been to my doctor and am going again tomorrow to get my spine checked up and the MRI ordered, but I would like to know what those who are experienced in this think could be wrong.

I started to have pain on my lower right side of my abdominal. It is not sever pain but its defiantly there. The day before I had this pain. I was having really bad gas. And im not joking. I had eaten a lot of food the night before because im trying to eat right. And I knew it was the last time I was going to eat fatten foods. So I stuffed myself. I think my pain may be due to it. Not sure though. Im really scared to say the lest. Im afraid it may be two things. 1. My appendix. Or 2. A hernia. Now how long before I should go see to the ER? I mean its day two and the pain is still here. Its not worse. Its about the same. I don’t have any other symptoms either. So what does everyone think? I don’t have insurance. So its not like I can go just run off to the doctors. I cant afford it right now. I know that gas can cause really bad pain. No joke! I read that on line. Anyway, please help me out guys. Im scared.

My lower back tends to always be sore at the end of the day, whether I worked for 8 hours on my feet or spent most of my time sitting in class. I have a thin build and a fairly large chest. Could this be putting strain on my back? Or could it have something to do with what I eat? Is there a vitamin/nutrient I'm not getting enough of?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I was stabbed in the right shoulder about 6-7 months ago. I have gotten an EMG nerve test. This type of test is where they stick needles into your arm and test if there is a nerve response from electrical shock wave testing. It was confirmed that I have a badly damaged nerve that controls my whole bicept muscle. I do not have any function in my bicept, but can move my hand and most of the rest of my arm normally. I have been to 3 doctors and all of them have told me different things. One doctor told me my nerves will heal over time. Another doctor told me physical therapy might help the healing of the nerve. And the last doctor I have gone to told me that the nerve will probably not heal itself and I should just work out all my other muscles in my arm to compensate for the nonfunctional bicep muscle. I was wondering what I should do, if anyone has had a problem similar to mine. And if there are ways I can help create new nerve passage ways in my arm.

I'm in the nursing program and I really don't think I can take it anymore. I've been shooting for A's and have no freakin life! I have 3 more wks left til summer break....2 more yrs til graduation. These past 2 wks...I haven't even opened any books...I"m mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted. I think I'll let my grades slip this semester it's not worth stressing over because I really can't stand this anymore.

I just got shocked from my hairdryer and then a tiny ball of electricity bounced around my room before it disappeared. Now, I feel pain on my legs and I get these electrical feelings all around my body, like somebodies poking tons of needles around you and they itch.
Is this something I should worry about or is it going to go away?

PS: I got rid of the hairdryer.
