In general I have a high pain tolerance (I can get my finger caught in a door, stub my toe so hard that it bleeds, or hit my head really hard without even wincing), but when someone touches my shoulder it HURTS and I feel this wave of irrational irritation. Why are my shoulders so sensitive?

(I have some chronic pain too, but I was wondering about this in particular.)

I would like to know if there is anything i could do to reduce his intake. He takes 40mg of a painkiller that is normally reserved for cancer patients. This is for servere pain in his legs, for arthritis and for a knee replacement in his other leg which did not work. His doc says he cannot have his knees replaced now because he takes warfarin for blood clots. I'm at my wits end, he can hardly walk. I know he is only 69 but he feels like he has been thrown on the scrap heap.

Since I was younger I've had a long scar running down the side of my face from an accident. Also I have scars from my more dangerous (let alone unexperienced) skateboarding days.

I'm afraid to show my scars in public, but lately somebody asked me where I got my scar. When I answered they said it looked cool.

This may be a dumb question but what should I do?

This is a question for any one who has had or knows anything about this injury.

The doctor seems to think ive strained the muscle in my neck. My neck is tender and i get shooting pains from my neck, up to the back of my head, when i try to turn my neck to look in a different direction. The strain is actually twisting my neck so Im only sort of comfortable when I go with it and am left facing west even though the rest of my body is sitting normally.
Ive been prescribed something for the inflamtion, and to help me sleep as thats when its worse, when I keep in my head facing one direction for any lenghth of time..it feels like the muscles lock or harden, so i need to gentley massage it by very slowly moving my head and neck to either side.

(Question)
Im just curious if there are other things i could be doing at home to help or ease the discomfort?

My Daughter & Son-in-law were involved in a car accident on Sunday. A car went into the back of them. Both their children and my son-in-law are ok but my daughter suffered whiplash. Can she claim against the other driver and if so what is involved? She didn't go to hospital but went to the dr's on Monday morning after her neck became very painful.

Im 13 years old.

Originall only my right upper leg hurt but now my left does and so do both my hips.
I think the pain is my bone because its not like muscle soreness. The pain comes on really suddenly too. Even if Im not doing anything. It isnt there all the time either. Its more like a pang.

I dont think its growing pains because I got my period almost 3 years ago and am just a bit taller then my mother, so im pretty sure I have stopped growing. (i was an early developer).

Right now the pain is throbbing in my upper right leg.

What should I do??
Is it serious...??

Thanks

i am on prescription topamax, which i take up to 200mg a day, keep the room dark and NO sound, and water intake a max, and eat normal, and at the most, i take a sleeping pill, cause i need to sleep it off. and call a babysitter to watch my son. what other natural and non natural things do you do. ONce at the ER they gave me a shot of tramadol and nubane, that was the BEST thing for my migraine, along with phenagran for the nausea. that is what works for me.
