I was taking hydromorphone for my herniated disk and stopped because it was no longer helping me. If I decided to retry it,though I'm pretty sure it won't work, how long doe sit stay in my system.I'm in alot of pain and need to do something. I know all the basics, heat, pt, doctor,,done all of it including cortizone shots!! Nothing freakin helps! I went in to therapy the other day and the pt accidentally shocked me harder than I could take. Since then I have been in more severe pain. I need to do something...what pills have any of you tried for SEVERE pain related to a pinched nerve and siatic pain down the leg. I am thinking of taking my hydromorphone tonight to see if it will even releive my pain a tad. The reason I need to know about how long it will take to get out of my system is because I manage to get my butt out to my car and drive to my therapy appointments..don't ask how I manage,,because that in itself baffles me too.. Thank you for your help..

My doctor has me on the drug Opana ER for RSD in my hand. It is a relief to finally have something that helps my pain. Here is my question, I went on a job interview and got the job...(hurray) there is a company car involved. I do not take the Opana during the day even though it is prescribed for me too because i have a 6 year old and i am scared if i have to drive i could have an accident. Anyway, I have to have a drug test for the job, is Opana going to show up? Should I tell the tester that i am taking it? I could try not taking it for 3-4 days but my pain would be out of control......thanks for your help

One palm was just skin damage, but the other had a deep puncture in a half circle shape about 1/2 inch deep- down to fatty tissue about 3/4 inch long. It is on the base of my palm where all my folds converge, the cut is currently about a 1/4 inch gap between the two pieces of skin. I have treated it with neosporin and gauze, but I am thinking that it will heal with a gap/scar if I do not bring the two skins together soon. Help please. Thanks. p.s it has been 10 days all surrounding scrapes have healed except the puncture wound.

Yesterday, my friend was on his bycicle, and he got hit from a truck that came from over the hill he was at the bottom at...I was with him...and I called 911, they came here ASAP and worked on him for about 30 minutes... but he died. He died right in front of my eyes, and I don't know what to do. I feel so horrible, and can't get it out of my head. Any advice, please?

Hey guys! I'm a cheerleader & i have been tumbling for the past 3 mornings & my ankles are killing me! Today at practice I had my coach wrap them but, i still felt nothin but pain. It hurts really bad to stand on them (expecially when i tumble!) I stretch them REALLY good before & after practice too. My mom wont take me to the doctor because she says "all the doctor is going to say is rest on them." And of course, that's what I do all the time (except for when i have cheer) I don't know what to do anymore!!! Please answer if you have any solutions! Thanks guys!

I have Strep Throat, and Swollen glands and am taking antibiotics. I know that it's an anti-inflammatory but, Ibuprofen does not seem to be taking away the swelling of my tonsils or glands. I need something to help me swallow food comfortably. Preferrably something over the counter. I need something that will take the pain away for longer than 5 minutes, which is typical of any topical throat spray. Any suggestions?

To give them credit, she was already at a hospital, and I doubt it would have helped the poor woman to dispatch an ambulance to take her to another hospital, with maybe an hour’s delay.I would fault this hospital, the nurses, doctors, and whoever is in charge of the place. Whoever was doing triage should be fired.----Where happened to Rev. Sharpton, to play the "race" card or is he too busy pocking his nose in

Actually, my back started hurting BEFORE my stomach did. It felt like my back was going to get split in half. The pain was vertically about half-way and just a bit to the right of the spine. I only knew it was a stomach thing after it started hurting and the pain went away after vomiting the meat. Not really sure where the liver is but I am worried.

I burned my left ringer finger just above my knuckle on an element in my stove (I know, smart right?). I know for a fact that it's third degree because it blistered something terrible and now that the blister has popped, it looks like there's a chunk missing from my finger and you can see another layer of skin in the middle of the burn (the whole area is a very bright red) and it's still quite painful. I was just wondering if a small burn can cause health problems? I know large ones (such as from fires) can cause a lot of problems, but I never really thought about the smaller ones until I got burned. Any thoughts? Thanks!

i hurt my wrist the other day, a door was slammed into it. Originally i thought it was just going to be a bump and it would go away. But it has continued to hurt and I don't think it's getting any better. There is still a bruise and a little bit of swelling. It hurts to the touch, and when i move it. What could be wrong?
