I just had my first epidural steroid injection about 31 hours ago. It was necessary to relieve inflammation in my sciatic region. It was a fine experience but what I would like to know is do some people report having mood swings as a result of the steroids in their system? It is the weekend and I have left messages to my doctors. I'd like any of your personal experiences, or expertise. I thank you all in advance.

We tried both calcium syrups and oil massage with hot-bag. First one proved to be no effect. Second is showing temporary relief. Can anybody explain this why ?

Well right now I'm not only suffering through 2 really bad ear infections, but also a cold.

So today I wake up and you know how there sometimes are crusty stuff in your eye..... things? Well I had TONS of that stuff only watery sort of , and then there was dry crusty crusty stuff all around my eyes stuck in between my eyelashes. Thankfully I got rid of it. But one of my eyes is REALLY pink and I just don't know what's going on.

I have had a headache for about 2 days now, but it has faded in and out, being really serious at times and others not hurting much at all. What is all this about?

I get major headaches that aspirin, acetaminaphen, and ibuprofen will not affect. They last for hours and if I sleep I wake up with it.

ive never had one so i dont know, but a while ago i was having sharp shooting pains on the top back left side of my head so i went to the ER and they x-rayed it and sent me home with a muscle relaxer and told me it was a muscle tension headache. The muscle relaxers do not work and ive been taking tylenol, excedrin and advil for DAYS and it doesnt help a bit! And now it has moved to the right side of my head right by my ear. Its EXTREMELY painful. The whole right side of my face is sore and it hurts to move my jaw. The pain sometimes feels like it comes right out of my ear. I still cant tell if its just some kind of horrible migraine or what. I would just like to get the pain taken care of but i dont have insurance and id hate to go back to the ER and go through all that expensive testing just to help my pain. And i cant afford the tests just over a headache...What should i do?

Ok i have no insurance, no money, and major teeth issues. I'm petrafied of the dentist too. I had sedation dentistry work done about ayear ago and had 8 of them fixed but i have much more i need done. some of my teeth are broken in half and all.
I know I need to get to the dentist but what can i do in the mean time? i've read about cloves but does this work if you have broken teeth (some no tooth at all just a brown stump)? I need something to aleviate pain to hold me off for a couple of months till I get insurance which should be in like 3 months. then ill go. any ideas?
cuz i know most of them solutions are very temporary. If i take penecillin it helps but i'm out now.

When I was at school, my friend brought some Slipknot CDs, and when he played them, I started head bangin, jumpin around, and shouting like crazy.
After class, I had this weird headache...

another cause might be that I use glasses and that day I didn't use them. Or it could be cuz that morning, i took a shower in cold water...

I have a stuffy, itchy nose, sore throat and itchy sore ears. I just feel like crap in general. I have seen my doctor and she confirmed that as always it is just a viral infection and I will just have to wait it out. This could take a week and I don't think I can stand it this long, I am pregnant so I am also suffering with morning sickness all the while careing for two young children. So any tips on what I can do for relief, especially for the itchy ears would be a big help. Thanks a lot.

I have terrible headaches almost every day, especially before the rain or during similar weather changes. Do I have any alternative instead of taking a lot of medicaments, for that purpose?

Two years ago I damaged my lower back lifting a heavy item, I have never had a day since where I am not in pain, the pain is around the inward curve of my spine and is dull, when straightning up it gets much worse, my right leg down to the knee was also really painful at times.around once or twice a day.

About 9 months it became a lot worse and I find it difficult placing pressure on my right foot when walking, the pain is very sharp and comes from my right hip, along with sharp pains in right leg again only down to the knee.

I am in a lot of pain most of the time now, walking - standing bending you name it and most movements are very sore, dont even mention the stairs - I have an upstairs toilet

GP gave me voltarol & amytryptline - had physio (no use)
I am really at my wits end with it and getting down, even when I lie on the couch and relax at night it's sore, same with bed.

Can I force my local health authority to get me an MRI to see what is going on and get it fixed.

Hey for the past couple months I have been getting tingling sensations in my lower legs. Now it has spread to my upper arms. It feels kind of like when your leg falls asleep. Its annoying. When I sit down or lay down it starts but when I am standing up it doesnt bother me. Also I get cold really really easily. What the heck is going on with me?

I'm doing research for a story I'm writing and I've never been drunk off my butt so, short of going out and geting completely wasted, I just wanted to know what are the general symptoms of being hung over?
