I wake up and feel that my stomach has been crushed, and breathing is difficult, almost as if something has been sitting on my chest. Does anyone else ever get this, and what causes it? And is there anyway to stop myself turning on to my back while asleep?

I tried fiber and stool softener every day i still take it and sometimes it helps...everyone says try enema or something, but i need a long term effect not just a one day thing. I have done a colon cleanse a couple times but still it goes back. Can anyone help please?!

Every morning I wake up completely dehydrated - my lips hurt, my throat burns, and my nose is completely swollen shut. I've got a humidifier and I drink nearly a half gallon of water before sleeping, but nothing helps? Do you have any advice?

I woke up with a serious neck pain all the way down to my spine. I can't even move my neck without my back hurting.
Any simple, fast ways to make it better?

Chiropractor not an option.

I have so many things on my mind - as some of you know from my last question - but things always seem a lot better when the sun comes out. I feel so much better when it's all shiny outside. We had so much rain this year in Gloucestershire that I think it really got to me.

Ive had severe back and neck problems, including 2 spinal fusions...a recent MRI and CT Scan have shown only 2 healthy disks in my entire back and neck...including 2 herniated disks and a bone sticking out in my neck hitting a nerve. I have been on medications for 8 years, 5 since my first surgery...have had the epidurals, injections and all that..including a pain pacemaker which didnt work either. It has sent me into a deep depression on and off over the years, and I am still in so much pain....How does one keep oneself in a proper mind frame, and get over, and move on when you are in severe pain and dont know if it will ever go away??

I had chronic pain for over 4 years. After about 10 doctors and three surgeries, I found a massage therapy specialist who has worked 'miracles' on my particular problem, i.e., repetitive strain injury that resulted in some of my nerves pressing against my bone in my hand, arm and shoulder. Now, I'm ecstatic to be without pain, but keep worrying I could have an accident and come back. What can I say to myself so as not to obsess about this?

I don't like the intense effect of the whole pill. Can I just break it in half and feel the less intense effect? Or is this not recommended?

Received a cortisone shot today on my right knee for a torn ligament 3 months ago. Knee was alot better with physical therapy last appt with dr today. Stated a cortisone shot will releive the rest of the swelling in my knee and gave me the shot. Knee feels like when I first hurt it, but worse. Can't stand, walk, straighten or bend right leg. I am icing it. Is this pain normal? How long does this last?

Last year in December I was hit by a car, but suffered no serious damage but a weakening knee. Months after the accident, I still had strong discomfort, so my mom took me to the doctor to check it out. From there, she prescribed me Aspirin (Which I never took after the first few days because I would get very drowsy during school) and I was sent to get my Knee X-rayed. The X-ray found no problems, but my still have pain at times (Inflammation during walking or going up the stairs), and when I rub it when it hurts, I feel there's some gap between the joints. Is this my imagination or is there some persisting problem?

About a year ago I experienced what felt like a stabbing pain in my rear when going #2... followed by a small amount of blood.. I went into the doctor and the doctor said to change my diet and it'll get better. I changed it and it got a lil better for a lil while.. now when I go #2, the water is almost all red, not pink... red, a rosey red. and sometimes I don't even have to go #2 for it to bleed, just the pressure of sitting on the toilet is enough to make it bleed. Should I request surgery? or see a doc and wait longer? I know it's a tear in my anus... but how much longer should I allow this to continue before surgery?
