My Friend just had surgery to remove 2/3 of his liver (cancer). As a result, he's going to have to have a LOT of his meds cut to prevent any further liver damge--his life will depend on it. He's got several other health issues, & there's not a day that goes by where he's not in tremendous pain. He's also on disability, hence limited insurance and income, so alternative treatment options are hard to come by for him. But I'm worried that if he doesn't get some decent relief from his chronic pain he'll start over-medicating again, OR lose all hope & do something to harm himself further. It's really important that we find some highly effective, accessible, drug-free alternatives....am I asking for a miracle?

Shoulder pain is killing me! Ever since the shoulder pain started I am getting less and less sleep. Shoulder pain gets worse every little bit I move. For several years I have had pain in my right shoulder that comes and goes. Sometimes my shoulder pain doesn't hurt at all, sometimes just a little, and sometimes it hurts really bad. Sometimes my shoulder pain hurts so much that it makes the lower part of the side of my neck hurt, and my arm too. I cannot remember injuring it, but I tend to be very active. I DO NOT have insurance and a visit to the doctor is really out of the question. I really just need pain meds to treat the shoulder pain. I just heard I could get some pain relievers over the net. Can pain medicine for shoulder pain be bought online?

I'm currently dealing with an awfully painful sinus infection and the meds I'm on haven't really kicked in yet. 800 mg of Ibuprofen works well for the pain temporarily, but it's wearing off 3-4 hours before it would be safe for me to take more. Is there anything else I can try?

The area above my left should hurts. When I tilt my head toward my right shoulder, and feel the area on my left side of my neck, it feels like some bone is straining. Anything I can do to get rid of it quickly? I know it will go away in a few days because it has happened before. I think I need a new pillow.

I am on Ultram and I lost some pills. I am considering buying some from one of those non-US pharmacies with a questionaire. I admittedly am hooked on Ultram and if I were to quit suddenly, would be really unhappy. I want to know if I can do this and the worst thing that would happen is my pills wouldnt show up or I may have to cancel the credit card or will I end up in a maximum security PMITA (see Office Space) prison with a large African American man in a pink tutu as a cell mate

I was getting up from the couch yesterday and hurt my back somehow. It hurts in the lower middle, and seems to hurt worse after I've been still for a while ... is really bad after I've been sleeping. I've tried the heating pad and ibuprofen. I also have some cramping in front which may be caused from switching birth control pills. Anyone know what else I can do for the pain and what might be causing it? I have no health insurance so I'm hoping it's nothing major.

I've reached the point where I just can't take it anymore. Is there anyone out there that can help me. I'm not looking for drugs, I'm looking for guidance. I want to hear about your own experiences. Some days the pain just gets to be so unbearable. I've heard from other people that have had TKR that one day I'll just wake up and the pain will be gone. How true is that? I've also been very depressed, I'm not thinking about killing myself, but I just need some help. Any words or prayers of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

-It started out on the left side of my head and now migrating towards my right.

-My vision has not blurred since, I don't feel nauseuous, I feel completely fine. It's just my head that bothers me.


Any ideas?
