I get random drug tests for pain doctor and I was tested Monday when I picked up one of my scripts.
I have to pick up my other script next Monday cuz I run out of one med a week after the other which means 2 trips to the office every month. I'm going to ask for only 1 week supply of the one I pick up next Monday so I can start picking them up together and save myself a trip....... my question is:
What are the chances of being tested 2 weeks in a row?
FYI - all my other tests over the last year or so have been fine.... nothing in me except what meds I'm suppossed to take.
I don't drink booze often except maybe 1x a year but.....I have a wedding to attend Sunday and I want to skip my meds for 1 day so I have a few drinks and enjoy myself with family and friends. I don't want to be tested and have booze in me if I can avoid it. If there is even a chance they would test me again I won't drink so..... is it unlikely & rare that someone is tested 2 weeks in a row.. 7 days later?

This is a totally hypothetical question.

My mom broke her bones 4 times. I never broke a bone. But I asked her what it felt like. She never answered cause she couldn't explain it or put into words. Yet, she makes pizza with a broken arm (in a cast.) so Im guessing it doesn't hurt THAT much.

But I imagine having a broken bone hurts like ALOT.

A few of my friends said they had it and it did hurt. But afterwards, they talk about it like, meh. It wasn't too bad.

I have done research on the net, and there are some people whom ahve broken their bones like 10 times and brag about it.

So, my question is....if someone breaks their bone. Do painkillers have any effect in nullifying or eliminating the pain?
And how effective is the painkiller in removing the pain? By how much? 50%? 20%? 70%? Some people claim that the painkillers don't work very much. And some people claim they felt barely any pain. Alot of people I know bragged that they had broken bones and didn't feel any pain.

I started having pain on the left side of my groin area the past few days. When walking normally I rarely notice it. However when I move or twist in a way that pulls my balls at all, I get this bad pain in the right side of my groin. This might be to TMI but when I pull my scrotum myself I definitely feel the pain. Any ideas?

I've been having alot of headaches. Not little ones but really big ones. Its not that I need glasses, I already have them and I'm pretty sure my prescripition is correct and even when I'm not reading I have headaches. I can hardly think. And sometimes my head hurts so bad I either throw up or have to lay down afraid I'll pass out.

Does anyone know whats wrong with me?

Just curious about x-rays. Would a doctor be able to see on an x-ray the difference between someone who like, fell on their arm and it snapped instantly, and someone who was like on their arm and pressure gradually grew and it ended up breaking after a period time. So like.. split second break and gradual fracture?

I was setting at the computer the other night and I turned my head side ways and I felt pain in my neck, so I felt where the pain was and there was a lump. It's about the size of a quater and it's pretty painful. I'd been feeling like I was getting a cold for about a week before I noticed it. It hurts when I swallow and when touched it feels like I'm touching a nerve or something. I don't know it's complicating and scary...will it go away or should I go to the doctor?

Is it normal to dream after you've lost consciousness or been knocked out?

I was talking to someone today about something that happened a few years ago (has actually happened twice), and I guess I didn't realize it was unusual. To this day, I don't know if I passed out or knocked myself out (long story...I hit my head both times, but don't know if I was already unconscious when I actually hit my head)...but I *distinctly* remember dreaming between the time I blacked out and the time I woke up on the floor.

Is this unusual?

I am fascinated by the increasing knowledge they are finding on the topic of migraines. I get the classic fireworks, aura, sensitivity to light, increasing nausea with a terrible crescendo of the nausea till its so bad I cannot sit, stand, breath, anything. Then...usually within 24-48 hours, it breaks and the relief is almost instantaneous.

This year around January, i had my mock GCSE exams, during that time i had to pee more often about every two hours.

My GP said it was the stress, but she checked for an infection anyway, it was fine.

Before i did'nt need to pee for a whole school day or lonnger, now i have to go once during school. :(

And even during movies I have to pee. :(
I think it may be psychological.
