I was doing some paper work this afternoon and just a sudden I get this headache that feels as if it was punctered or someone stabbed my brain. I dont have a headache, my head just hurts. I've never had this pain before. After a while it hurt no more but now its coming back. Should I go to the doctor or should I just ignore it, its probably nothing!

I take Percocet, Ativan, and Soma. I have been taking these for so long that they don't work as well anymore. What can I do to make these work better and get me feeling very calm and in no pain?

Hi all. I just wondered if anyone had suffered from this and had a doctor who knew why it happened.

The thing is that say if I go into a shop and its really warm, I start to get hot quickly,get prickly heat,feel dizzy and my left side of chest hurts.

Now Ive had around 5 heart tests over the past year so my doctors wont give me any more tests in that region and they just say its anxiety and/or muscle tension.

Any ideas?

thanks for reading

p.s my chest doesnt hurt with exercise, Im 24,non smoker,non drinker,average build.

has anyone had difficulty walking, usually because they are tired and or weak?

I went to a famous health shop and they advised that vitamin E would get rid of that problem.

Has anyone else tried this?

My husband has had lower mid back twinges when he moves or does anything physical that only last a few seconds. He has no twinges while resting.

He had a cat scan and it only came up with a mild case of diverticulosis. He was informed to not eat nuts, popcorn, seeds, etc. So far, the painful twinges have not stopped and he is wondering if it's something else.

Has anyone had twinges that are associated with diverticulosis?

Several years ago I woke up in the morning finding a lock of my hair cut off in the back of my head. I couldn't explain it. And I am not a sleepwalker or anyone in my family. So I just forgot all about it. Then a couple of years later I've started noticing strange looking puncture/scoop marks of lighter color on my skin about 3-5mm in diameter. Recently I found similar mark on my kid's back.He always shows me new scratches, so I 'd put some neosporine on. I thought it was strange. Then once I woke up with a grid like pattern of oval shape about 2 inches in diameter on my shoulder, which looked like if I were pressing a hair brush against my skin real hard. The bruise faded away in a couple of days. Anyone has any clue? I am sure there is noone could enter our house unnoticed, we have an alarm. Besides it's been happening over the years and we've lived in different states. So there is no stalker involved, collecting souvenirs like my hair locks or skin samples. What is it?

I have had to work overtime this week(13 hrs a day) I noticed my legs are feeling weak and my heels hurt and my legs get tingling when I do sit down. Why is this? Am I on my feet too much and how many hours are too many when you have a job that requires you to stand up all day.Will sleeping all weekend help?

My BR is scheduled August 1st and I'm really nervous about it. How painful is the post op? How long did you have to take your muscle relaxant and pain killer? Also, my doctor told me I could carry my university books but everywhere else is telling me not to, what do you think? Can you tell a difference (is your breasts smaller) right after the surgery? I've been to all the websites and have done countless hours of research but I don't really have anyone to talk to about it who's had the procedure done.

Whenever I find myself laughing for prolonged amounts of time or walking on rare occasion I begin to get severe pain in the lower left part of my stomach. I cannot see any bumps which is why I think it may not be a hernia. Should I go see a doctor? Or is this something normal for a teenager? Also whenever I stand a feel very lightheaded if that helps. Any help is appreciated.

What are your experiences with fainting? Funny? Embarassing? Stupid? Fake?

I have had low blood sugar for awhile now and sometimes I get careless and think I don't need to eat and then it gets me in trouble. Well, I was in high school and I decided that I didn't want to eat lunch.
I was in my english class, right after lunch and like 45 minutes into class (block scheduling) I started getting that weird feeling. The teacher was calling on people and she called on me. I could talk. I told her, or attempted to tell her that I needed to go to the nurse. It came out "noose peas". I kept repeating it and then someone "translated" and figured out that I needed to go to the nurse and get something to eat. I didn't make it but about 5 feet from the doorway in the hallway and then I crashed. I have learned from 5 years of experience to always eat, and always have someone as a translator to my "special language"

It's excruciating when I sit and feels like somebody's stabbing me with a screwdriver in my tailbone when I stand up from sitting. I've been to the doctor and had x-rays taken, they say nothing's wrong with it but I can't take this pain anymore. It has not gone away for even one day out of 10 months. I'm wondering if I should get an MRI. Anyone with a problem like this that can help me figure this out?
