General Health Care - June 2007

ive been working night shift and been studying for exams. my face has broken out a bit but im due to have a period in a week. i've felt really tired during the day but seem to have more energy at night. do you think that this is due to exam stress and cos my body clock may be different due to working night shift or could it be something else??

I have a pain that starts in my lower back and shoots into my knee like every five minutes. It is not sciatica...I have sciatic pain all the time...this is different. There is no pain between the back and the knee, just the back, then the knee. From t he knee down my leg is almost twice the size of the other one. It is strange.

I know it's getting late but I thought I'd ask and see who's still up. I suffer from chronic pain and I've taken my meds but they haven't been working too well. I'm sure other people have been in this situation before so what do you do to help ease your pain when your meds aren't working? I want to go to sleep so bad but the way I'm feeling now I know there's no way I'm going to be able to.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

so i popped my patella in my left knee.. i was giving a mobilizar brace and cruthes to get around.. then i had a follow up appt w/ an ortho. who upgraded me to a patella brace to push the knee in and 6 weeks physical therapy to see if this helps. if this doesnt work then i will have to have surgery.. but my concern is say the therapy does help whats to say this will not happen again and how can i prevent more damage to the knee??.. the doc said the grooves which my knee sits on is not deep enough so its causes the knee to pull out.. i am big women 25yrs old with past history of knee injury to my r knee 10-12 yrs back.. i was suppost to have surgery on that knee but i was to scared and now im tring to do all i can to make things better(losing weight) because it still comes out once in a while(r knee) and i was told ive torn all ligaments inthe right knee and surgery is my best bet.. and i have been using a cane as well as the brace to get around but im getting pain in my foot .......

I've posted more than a few questions today, too bad I couldn't lump them all together :)
To rehash:
I have a chronic connective tissue disorder and have been having steadily increasing muscle pain. Not over days, but over months.

I've been on darvocet and soma for a few years now. But the soma really makes me a bit tired and it's hard to know when it'll surprise me and make me way TOO tired - tough to plan for anything.

I'm thinking about asking for a stronger pain med (tylenol+codeine or vicodin were mentioned by my dr. a while back), and hopefully just cut out the soma muscle relaxer.

But I have no experience with the stronger pain meds like those mentioned above -- do they make you just as sleepy all by themselves? Thank you all again for the help it is very much appreciated.

I know that cigarettes can get you addicted to them and it's bad for you, but my family smokes them and for some reason, I've been thinking about experiencing with one just to see what it's like, but before I do that, I want to know can just one can get you addicted.

Has anyone heard about the Freedom ship?
It is said that it will be a floating city or colonization; with the height of 25 stories and a length that is four times the length of the world's largest ship (Knock Nevis)
Is the creation of a floating city a good idea? please share your views.

Hi i was wondering if I have a knee injury. Everytime i bend my knee alittle bit )and tense it I feel this very acute pain ( I wouldnt even call it a pain I would call it more like an irritation) inside my knee. It doesnt affect me when I play soccer but I'm wondering if it really is a knee injury and if i slightly pulled a ligament in there and i need to check it out. Also, I think i caused it when I was playing soccer in the house ( what kind of a soccer player doesnt? lol) and i know that when i was trying to pass it i bent my knee to far....it didnt hurt, but i know i kinda extended it too far...thanks in advance

P.S. It hasnt gotten worse, but will it if i dont check it out?...im going to play nationals southeastern regionals in like a week
