To start suboxone? I have read 12 hours at least. I am on hour 14 and in mild withdrawl. Last time I did this I was on hour 16 so don't know if I should wait 2 more hours to be safe. I had to go back on opiates for surgery and after 5 days I am done and going back on sub.

last week i fell heavily and smashed my elbow with such force i cannot even tell you.
since then my arm is really painful either side of my elbow and i have hardly any feeling from my fingers to my armpit
However, i can still use my arm and my hand although it it painfull.
Is it possible to break your arm, yet still be able to move it?
i hate to bother the doctor for something silly

It all started about 3 days ago, when I had a little sore throat, it was fine, didn't any worse but not any better. By yesterday my nose was a bit stuffed, and last night i noticed i was kind of sore so I took a hot bath and went straight to sleep. Then this morning I woke up and I was so sore I could barely move (and I still can't it's not getting any better) I had a very stuffy nose and my throat was sore. I stayed home and slept till 10, and have just been relaxing on the couch the whole day but I still feel awful! I took some medicine but it didn't help.
Do you know what it could be?
How long it will last?
and anything I could do to help feel a bit better?
Any help will be really good! thanks! XX

My left knee is acting unsual, but the right knee acts fine. My left knee pops alot, more then the other one. And when i pull both knees up the left one like partially pops out of place and u can tell, but the other may just do a simple pop or nothing. I know that there is something wrong with it, i forgot what happened but about 2 months ago i didnt something to it, and i had a wrap around it and it helped, but after about 2 weeks later it messes up. Should i get checked out. Do you think its fractured or sprained, What do you think is wrong with it.

i can bend it but it kinda hurts. And it just hurts reguraly too, Whats wrong with it?

Me and my friends were trying that thing where, if you take 10 deep breaths then put your hands across your chest, then let a friend squeeze you against a wall, you'll pass out. I did it and I actually collapsed. The next thing I knew, I was on the pavement, my face hurt from hitting it and all my friends thought I was faking.

Have you ever heard of or done that?

I quit smoking a little over a year ago, but recently I've picked it back up again due to little bits of stress adding up and bowing at maximum velocity into my face. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas to relieve stress. Cause I don't wanna start my problem with cigarettes all over again.

Unfortunately, it has come to the time where i have an injury that will possibly prevent me from doing my job, the thing is i may hate my job, but i love the people that work with me, I have been working their 6 months and really dont want to quit, but im 16 years old, and I have tendonitis and i have something wrong with one of the bones in my wrist, and they feel that cashiering might be the reason behind why its not getting better

I may have another job lined up... should i wait for to make sure that the job comes through?

Should I quit my job to begin with?

Each time I am worried, scared, or furious, I get this pain in the upper left side of my chest. What is this? The more I think about a situation, the more the pain is there. This must def. be a nervous system symptom or mental symptom. Like today at work, there are these guys who don't know me and said something so ignorant about me. I overheard them. They were so obvious too. And I got the pain there. How do I control this? I wish I could just ignore and be strong. There are times when I can, there are times when I cannot. I suffer from social anxiety and schizophrenia.

I notice that when I sit still for extended periods of time that I get a weird feeling behind my left knee cap. I normally notice it when I go to bed, but I don't believe I have RLS because it is only in that one area on my left leg. It doesn't hurt, it is just really annoying. It feels like someone is pressing their thumb really hard behind my kneecap. If I touch that area, the sensation goes away. It is like the nerves of my skin override the other signal. Lately I have just been placing a pillow on top so I can't feel it. Does anyone know what this is? When I get into bed it will last about 30 minutes to 1 hour. That is the only time I ever feel it.

I am receiving PT for painful problems. My therapist mentioned using electricity and I asked her if she were referring to a Tens unit which I had heard only worked sometimes. She replied that there were other kinds of electricity that was used that DID work. What was she referring to? Thanks.

I have a horrible back and was prescribed Methylprednisolone to take for a week since my back surgery hasn't done much for me. Since taking it, my chest hurts and my stomach aches...I take naproxyn for pain but have cut down to 500-1000mg a day.. I know it's not all good for my stomach, however, when you are in such severe pain you cant breathe you take that you can take.
Does the Methylprednisolone make your chest feel heavy or stomach hurt? its like way upper stomach between ribs. I am stopping taking them.

I was referred to a urologist by my doctor and eventually the urologist recomended circumcision. After telling me the risks, bleeding, swelling, 2 months to fully recover, we went ahead and scheduled the procedure.

He prescribes some pain medecine after surgery and i'm off. I go to fill my pain medecine, but he puts his name instead of mine under patient, and i go to three different pharmacies, and no one fill the prescription. (narcotic and they won't budge) I get a lesser pain medecine after arguing

follow-up visit was supposed to be 2 weeks after surgery, they scheduled me for a month after the procedure even though i insisted in 2 weeks. So he checks me in a month and said everything is looking fine, even though i tell him i have no sensation. 3months now and still swollen and no sensation, he tells me to wait it out another month, and if nothing, we'll talk about another procedure.

What should i do. I'm in pain, and have to still wait even though he said 2 months.
