General Health Care - July 2007

Right before bed i lay down and start to relax, but then a pain hits my ribs, i roll over and over in differant positions but nothing works at all. I am bone tired and very frustrated because i want to sleep but the pain keeps me awake, and when i do fall asleep i wake up a few hours later, never to sleep for the rest of the night.
My husband also has this problem sometimes. I am 20 and he is 24, we have a matress that is kinda firm, but we've had it 3 years and i've never had this problem before.
I have had the problem before i was with my husband from sleeping on the floor or a matress on the floor. I am really angry and frustrated, I can't sleep and my doctor told me to change my position but nothing helps!! What should i do?

Everynight it seems to happen...I'll be laying in my bed and be woken up with the most intense muscle spasm in my left calf, in the same spot, same leg each time. I don't get it..and usually the pain goes away fairly fast, but this time, it still is tight, when i try to stretch it, and it feels like it will spaz again if I keep trying to stretch it. So I'm wondering exactly why this is hapening? Am I not drinking enough water, is it becasue I wear heels to work? Not enough iron calcium? Further problems?
Help! Quick..

I have lower arm pain, below the elbow. (forearm) Have had test for Carpal Tunnel and was told that I don't have Carpal Tunnel Sydrome. X-rays from the spine and shoulder all clear. No pain from the shoulders or upper arm. Pain comes and goes. More pain at rest. Cramps in my hand/s during the evening which eventually disappear after falling asleep. Once I get going I'm fine. Could this be arthritis or RSI? Do rest my arms but to no avail. Have been on medication, nothing helps. Any suggestions? Isa

I have been diagnosed with fibro for almost 3 years, but I have suffered my whole life. I remember that I hurt when I was 4 yrs. old. My symptoms worsened while pregnant and my daughter is almost 3. I have gone to chiropractors and massage therapists. My rheumatologist and pain dr. gave me klonopin, ultram, ultracet, hydrocodone 10/325, soma, effexor, paxil, zoloft, cymbalta, elavil, flexeril, zanax, oxycodone, etc... at different times. Some I had to use together. I had to quit my job and now hurt 24/7. I sleep all the time and cannot to anything on my own. I also try to do pilates every other day. I can't carry my daughter or take her shopping. I can't hug my husband. I snap and yell at everyone. I have been told to stop smoking. I quit, and the condition worsened for at least 6 months. I currently smoke again to try to get my mind off the pain. I've read book after book and tried everything in my power. I feel like I'm dying. If I can't get help I don't know what else I can do. HELP

For about a week now, I get major neck pain around supper time until I fall asleep.

It begins at the base of my neck, at the back kind of where the head and neck/spine connect. I can feel two lumps/tendons or whatever.

Why is this happening? It's also spread to my forehead.

I've also been experiencing dizziness and ear pain.

Thx.

For the last 3 years my joints have been hurting and getting worse. It started with my rists and they felt like the could break so easily. Now my rists arent the worst of my pain. My ankles and knees hurt so bad. I cant sleep at night. I toss and turn all night long. I can barely sit in the car for a short period of time without being in pain. My hips are starting to hurt and im worried its going to get as bad as my hips and joints.
I am only 20 years old and have no clue what this could be.

oh and im also tired a lot. I dont know if that has anything to do with it.

one more thing is that i just had a baby 3 months ago so if i had something like lymes Id think that they would of seen it when taking blood tests right??

I've been having stomach problems for the past 2 weeks. It feels like i'm going to be sick but i never throw-up. My stomach doesnt have any sharp pains for n e thing, It just feels like i'm going to get sick. I've taken a pregnancy test and it came back negative, so i know im not prego...Ive went to the doctor and he put me on something that is for stomach ulcers and acid reflux disease, it hasnt helped one bit, if anything its getting worse. He said if it deosnt get better then i need to go back to have test done...Nothing sounds good, everything makes me want to throw up just even hearing about food. I can barely eat, all ive been able to eat in a day is an over easy egg and a piece of toast...and when i do eat my stomach feels even more queezie. If it's not stomach ulcers or acid reflux disease then what can it be? I need help... pleeease

I am eighteen years old and my body has been hurting for many months, probibly over a year. I have been growing and suffering from stress, but the pain has increased over the past few months. The pain also effects my ancles, causing my feet to hurt every time I get up to walk. I have talked to my mom about this and we have disgussed seeing a doctor. Is this pain simply stress and growing pains or something bigger?

I developed mild sciatic pain in the left leg when training for a marathon 2 years ago. I quit running and started lifting weights which brought on sharp, stabbing pain. After 2 days the sharp pain went away, but since that time I get aching, sciatic pain whenever I run, walk or stand for long periods, or ride a bike. I’ve seen chiropractors, doctors, and physical therapists but no one has been able to determine the cause of the pain (they’ve never been able to recreate the pain during an examination by manipulating the SI, pushing on the piriformis, etc). The MRI is inconclusive (grade 1 bulge and slight narrowing of L5-S1, but nothing expected to cause my pain) and cortisone injections of SI joint and L5 provided no relief. The podiatrist says I don’t need orthotics and the doctors have no more suggestions for me.

Has anyone had a similar experience? What could be causing my pain?

They have been swollen for two weeks, and are painful. He now has trouble holding things. The doctor prescribed Naprosyn, but this medicine has too many side effects and counteracts other medicines he should be on (regulating blood pressure and diabetes).

I mean... like strawberry red!! And it's on fire!! I tried sitting in front of a fan, but it's actually warm air cause thats how hot my face is. & I rinsed my face in cold water btw!! & it's been 10 mins & I've tried more cold water, I don't know what to do, but I'm about to cry, it's burning so bad & I've never seen my face so red in my life..

it coming from the center of my back. I think it is more serious then a trapezium strain because i had one of those a couple months ago and it caused painful spasms and w/e when i would move my face side to side, move my left arm, as well as right. But that is gone. However in the past few days ive felt small stiffness in the exact areas where i was getting pain from the trapezum sprain a while back. An hour ago, i went to the park to play handball, because it wasnt giving me much problems. About 10 minutes into the game, i felt like a (i cant find the right words) cracking or feeling something like when you crack your fingers. but about 5 at once. It was painful however, right after it happened, i know something pain causing occured. I felt the pain when i moved my right hand. I can move my right hand, but certain ways cause this horribe pain near the middle and it feels more sever then a trapezium strain.
