Pain & Pain Management - December 2006

I have excessive pronation (my feet are turning outward)causing me to have one leg shorter than the other according to my doctor. He prescribed custom made orthotics and said that would take care of the problem.
Well, it's been over a year now and the orthotics have only made things worse. I've tried about everything, from chiropractors, podiatrist, othotics, heel lifts without any help at all. Does anyone have any suggestions, comments or experience with posture control insoles? I'm desperate, I'll try about anything. THANKS

My grandmother is suffering from terrbile pain in all her body. The doctors recomend some pain killers but those make her feel drowsy and cause her other trouble like vomiting/headaches... I was wondering if anybody may give me some other solution for her doctors don't seem to have any except to keep her almost asleep. Thank you!

I don't have a heating pad here in my apartment. Is there any way I fake one out of common household items? Please, if you don't know, don't respond. Thanks.

Recently, my sister got surgery on her leg because it was broken severely. Her head doesn't hurt at first, but when her leg hurts, she has to take her painkillers. However, the painkillers cause her HUGE HUGE dizziness, and she feels like a knife is throbbing back and forth to her head. She took tylenol and advil to help the pain, but that doesn't help, and it makes her very tired. Are there any tips to have less pain!?

I should keep pain medicine in my system at all times so the drugs don't lose their efficacy and potency. How do I do this if I can't take pain medicine at night because it interferes with my sleep?

I am schedualed for a MRI (On my lower back) at 6pm and I have a concert that I need to be at at 7:30-8ish. Will I be able to make it on time and not be loopy or other side effects?
Also, I am on Naproxen, a powerful pain releaver. According to the paper I got with the prescription it says to avoid asprin and hottubs. Do you think that I should wait to take my Naproxen until after the MRI, or shouldn't it matter?
Please only serious reliable answers...

Tylenol is acetomenaphin
Advil is Ibuprofin

If you take something else, what is it? Or maybe you take a combination of medicine. I just would like to know...Thanks so much.

All of a sudden, I got this pain in my lower right back side, alil lower than my shoulder blade when I breathe in. It only hurts when I breathe, not when I move or anything. I was wondering if this is a muscle sprain or possibly some anxiety thing or something else. I haven't been doing any kinda of strenuous activity and I don't play sports. Thoughts?

I'm the assistant manager of a department store, and have been working there for 3 years. For the last 4 or 5 months my legs (from my knees down) are terribly sore. Sometimes it's so bad, I have to sit down for a few minutes until they stop throbbing or hurting so bad. They hurt more when I'm just standing in one spot. I've heard it can be caused by lack of exercise, poor circulation, or maybe I just need some arch supports for my shoes? I'm only 19, so its probably not a good thing that I'm feeling this way at such a young age. Any suggestions?

i had one that started this morning at 8ish and now its almost 6pm and it seems to be getting worse. i cant stand up or sit down without feeling faint and sharp pains above my eye. Ive taken 4 pills today for headaches. this is getting ridiculous. anyone else have this problem? is this something i should go to the doctor for? migraines seem so common, but they are so consistent and so painful.
