I won't take it after this. I've been dealing with the pain all day, but I thought I might take it before bed to help me sleep, and now the pain is still here and I'm trying not to be sick.

:(

Occassionally I get really sudden spots of I guess I wouldn't necessarily call them pain but it feels kind of unpleasant in my chest area, usually around my heart area...they always go away after a few minutes and I was just wondering if something like this is normal...I have no other side effects at all unless my anxiety kicks in from time to time if I really start to worry about it. But I'm also thinking that when I get a pain spot on the other side of my chest or even anywhere else on my body it doesnt worry me at all. So Im just wondering if it is at all possible to have a pain in your chest area and it be nothing at all.

I am starting a petition to ban pain clinic doctors from prescribing deadly combinations of medication such as methadone and oxyconton or methadone and xanax. These so called patients go in, pay a fee, get their scrips and are on there way. Then they sell them to people to make money for their next visit. So many people are dying from these combinations. How many names would I need to get and where would I send it to?

I have been in pain from a large herniated cisk in my cervical for about 2 years now due to an auto accident. I have had mris, physical therapy, accupuncture, cortizone shots,and facet blocks. All with no releif. I was sent to a neurosergeon by my spinal surgeon. He says that i dont need surgery unless i can't move my legs or if i can't control my bowels.so what do i do now? The large herniated disc is pressing on my nerve canal and is causing great pain at times. Has anyone out there experienced anything like this? HELP

A couple of years ago I hurt my back at work and went through
the whole thing with workers comp, and hiring an attorney for
my case, and went through the surgery I needed at the time. At the end of my situation I settled like most people. My case is of course closed, but I have medical for the rest of my life, but from a friend I found out that I could buy out my medical through the insurance company, is this true or not? Could I buy out my medical and if so how do you go about it?

I fractured my finger and was referred to a surgeon. The first visit turned out OK and recommended surgery. The appt was set after a week but I called & cancelled due to personal health issue. At the 2nd appt (just an office visit) he asked me what happened with me regarding surgery. I explained and apologized. He said he can't reschedule me again until after the holidays about 2 weeks later...I was disappointed only because my finger needed some attention. He then acted what seemed to be "unprofessional". He wasn't concern about my worries or cared to answer my questions. I was basically treated unfairly. No matter what, is it right for a Dr to talk to you any way they want, punish you for cancelling an appt or insult you? He said "you have an independent mind"-"you don't listen!" I am someone who do listen! He misjudged me & I felt mistreated. Should I still see him after all this? Should I ask him why he acted unprofessional? Maybe because I'm a new patient or hes just an a*#ho*#???

I've had it about 8-9 times now (once in the car which was frightening) where I felt suddenly out of it, like I had fainted for a second or lost conciousness (only a really short moment) and then come round again. It seems to happen (I dont know how it could be related) when I breath through my nose rather than my mouth and usually when I'm sitting (either in the car, watching tv or something) Could I be not breathing in enough oxygen or something?

Okay, well I have a debate about the legalization of marijuana in class after the break, and I'm on the side that says it should remain illegal. Now I know that the opposition will talk about medical marijuana and how it helps ease the pain. What can I say about that? I mean, what are other things patients can use INSTEAD of marijuana to ease their pain?

Ok, so i've always gotten canker sores a lot. It seems like I constantly have at least 1 in my mouth. Usually I just ignore it and it goes away after a while. Occasionally I get some really painful canker sores but they too go away after some time.
Right now, I have exactly 7 canker sores spread out over my mouth. They are driving me absolutely crazy. It hurts to eat, drink, talk, smile, and even just open my mouth. It is really frustrating since there are just 2 more days until Christmas and I can't smile or eat anything. I've had these canker sores for a couple days now. I know they're canker sores because they're white in the middle with red, inflamed-looking around the white (open sores). I think I know why I have so many canker sores however. My mom recently bought a big box of tangerine oranges and I ate a ton of them, so now I suffer for it.

My question is, what should i do? Anything that helps relieve pain and/or make it heal faster? Oh, and in simple terms please? Thank you!
