Pain & Pain Management - November 2006

From the tip of my thumb down to my wrist is so stiff all the time and starts to hurt after a while. The docter suspects carpal tunnel but I need to see a nerologist before anything. But I dont have health insurance to cover that. Is there any ways to help loosen up the joints or the bones or whatever it is?

Thank you and have a happy holiday

It's mainly the lower region, but I can't afford a chiropractor! Does anyone know a way to make it feel better, so I can do it myself? It feels like it needs a good clicking!

my shoulder is giving me grief. when there is pressure on it, it hurts loads and my arm goes tingerly and sometimes my hand goes purple. But when i take pressure off of it my shoulder blade hurts. When i rotate my shoulder it sounds like it grinds and clicks very often. It is like a constant aching pain but sometimes it gets a lot worse. I haven't a clue why this is hurting. I am thinking of going to the doctors but i am not to sure on what they are going to do to help me. Can you diagnose it for me?

I'm on 90 mgs of Methadone for about 5 months almost now. Started on 10mgs of lexapro 5 days ago, and am now adding the Soma. My doctor does not know that I am on Methadone when I got prrescribed the Lexapro and the Soma. It made me quiet more drowsy when I started on the Lexapro. Them today I took a soma And it made my methadone feel almost twice as strong. Which of the medicines do you think is responsible for making me so drowsy. Should I cut one of them off? I don't want to be so high I'm like a vegetable now. I take the methadone because I got out of using heroin and have not touched it since. Which I plan to stick to even though I know it will be hard but I did enough of that, and that phase of my life is complete. Now I feel Its the Somas that are really knocking me out mixed with the methadone. I got the soma for shoulder blade pain from a car accident I was in. I would really like it if someone or a profesional in the medicalfield could give any ansewrs or suggestions.thx Joe

it all started when she was 2 months pregnant. the nauseas feeling, even throwing up. But there was also excruciating pain in the stomach. it got so severe that she ended up spending most of the pregnancy in the hospitals with a demerol drip. she has been to all the hospitals in the area plus some that are 50 miles away. Given all the test that the doctors can imagine. Her veins colapsed from all the needles. no one can figure out what is going on. It has been a year and a half since she delivered a healthy little girl, but the pain and vomiting still persist. Has anyone out there ever gone through this and can you tell me what is going on. Its not her pancreas, galbladder, intestines or anything that the doctors can put a finger on. Please help, we are desparate.

I heard it helps as a muscle relaxant but I also heard that the combination make th pain medicine work better. My father broke his neck and had to have part of his hip taken out and put in his neck to prevent future complications. He was told to take percocet and soma, but he does not like taking the Soma all the time because it puts him out and he dosn't like that . He feels its to strong taking them both. He has to take the pain medication because of th pain and he is ok like that, but with the Soma he only takes it at night now because its too strong he says. So my question is does the soma make the pain medication stronger or is it a cobination type thing where they both work together? And could he stop taking the soma, because the doc said the they work toghether. Is there a alternative? Thank you for listening. If a profesional that works in the medical field could give me any input that would be great. best wishes,Joe

I've tried doing research on this to pinpoint some sort of at-home treatment to prevent seeing the doctor (can't afford right now). Basically, I have a constant degree of pain below my right shoulder that I've never had before. The only thing I really can see that caused it was some stretching, but that isn't out the of ordinary. Its been pretty constant now for 3 days and even hurts when I inhale deeply or yawn.

Anyone out there expieriencing this too? Any recommendations for treatment. Currrently I'm taking 8-hour tylenol.

Thank you!

Hello... I have suffered from upper and lower back pain for 14 years due to a car wreck. I deal with it everyday and I know what is causing it. I am however having a completely different problem today and it started yesterday while I was deep cleaning my mom's house. The stabbing pain is on the left side of my back ranging from my shoulder blade down to my kidney. I also have the same pain in my right shoulder (from the top to my neck). The pain is tingly and stabbing at the same time. When I move the pain changes and I can get into a position where I don't feel it at all. Does anyone with experience know if the problem I'm having has to do with nerves or simply pulled muscles? I've had many sore muscles in my days but have never felt anything like this. I'm mainly asking because I know I won't be able to get in to see my doctor until at least Monday and I need to know if I should take it easy or try to continue moving around. I appreciate any advice I can get. Thanks!

Male, 25 yrs old, white, 170 lbs, healthy
I suffer from sciatic (nerve) pain. The pain is centered in my right buttock cheek. It comes and goes but it is easy to "tweek" my leg and the pain is quite terrible. I've had this since april '05. I've gone to the dr, physical therapy and when those didn't work, I went to a pain clinic where I was given three cortizone shots. The shots worked great and my leg felt fine for a while. Now the pain keeps coming back.
I don't want to rack up a bunch of dr bills, pop a bunch of pills or take painful shots. I need to find a cost-effective and perminate way of eliminating the pain. Any suggestions?
