Pain & Pain Management - December 2006

i had surgery last october on my knee (lateral release) and the pain this year is worse then it was before surgery. Ive been told many times that its just the weather, but the weather cant effect it like this all freakin year! I had a cordison shot once before surgery and it actually made the pain worse. My original ortho now lives in SC, and there are many other doctors at the practice, but i dont want to have to go through the same thing over again with another doc. What should i do? ive tried all sorts of different pain meds, ice, physical therapy (3 times), and then finally last year with the surgery...whats next?

I have this reoccuring pain in the center of my back between my shouldblades. It comes and goes. Mostly after I have eaten or in middle of the night. I thought it might be the start of gall bladder problems, but now I am not so sure. Has anyone else had this and can tell me what it is. I can't afford to go to the doctor unless I absolutly have to.

I take Percocet 10mg for my chronic lower back pain. I am building up a tolerance to all the pain meds the doc gives me & was wondering if I should try a more "natural" approach to helping relieve my pain. Should I try smoking some of the green to help my back? If anyone knows, or has used it for this purpose I would appreciate any feedback. I know of a doctor who prescribes it for back pain, but didn't want to go see him if it wasn't worth the time. Please any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My Mom has been suffering from the Shingles for two years. She has tried Pain Blocks, topical creams, etc., and cannot get relief. A family member mentioned that getting Botox injections would help. Can anyone offer any information about this? Please? Thank You so much. It pains me to see my Mom in so much pain.

I have pain on the middle of the outside of my foot. It's not in the arch area, but it's on the side of my foot. It began hurting the day after running 9 miles. It's not a consistent pain; it only hurts when I walk. I have a high arch. What could the pain be?
