Does anyone know of any effective over-the-counter migraine treatment? Advil and Aleve help a little..I don't have health insurance, so I can't afford a trip to the doctor or a prescription..Any help would be great..

Last week I had two hemmoroids banded. Something went terribly wrong. The tissue around the band swelled up so badly, I have been in severe pain ever since. The Doctor tried to remove the band, but I was too swollen and tender for him to be able to get it off. When ever I have a BM I feel like I am going to split open down there, I am in so much pain. I am taking pain pills That helps a little.
I need more help. Can anyone tell me anything else I can do topically to relieve the pain? In addition to pain killers, I am taking stool softeners, using hemmorioid cream on bottom after sitz baths, and using a lidocaine jelly in between. Doctor has not been very helpful, most help I have gotten from others, and online. I have already been off of work a week, and I can't see that I am going to be able to go back any time soon short of a mircle. (I need to go back to work). PLEASE HELP!

have a slipped disc and the physio has said that acupuncture is the next step forward. slightly scared because i'm not sure what the theory behind it is and not sure whether it will work. no fear of needles though so that's 1 less worry! anyone no anything about how it works or had any experiences with acupuncture?

I am desperate to figure out what is going on with me. I am a 37 year old female and about a week ago I started gettig a sore and stiff feeling in my hips, it has progressed rapidly to my ankles (now slightly swollen) also my knees and shoulders and elbow joints. What could cause such pain in all my joints. I can not imagine it is arthritis at my age and so sudden. Could it be a pinched nerve or a virus? it seems to be the worse when i am laying in bed at night and unbearable when rising in the morning. I cannot sleep because of the pain. It does seem to get slightly better when I am up walking around. Any ideas?

I was having a bath and from a horizontal position, raised my back and head upwards. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain building up and was located in a central area of my chest or breast bone. Almost like a spasm or kind of strain or muscle cramp. Do you think one can get cramp or strains in this region of the upper chest? My heart has never felt weak and I am generally very fit. Does worry me, heard of stories this may happen before a heart attack! Any advice or tips welcome.

I have severe to moderate upper back and neck pain since I was in high school. I have seen a few doctors about it but all they do is give me pain pills and often see nothing wrong. I have seen a few chiropractors as well consistantly, which helps for maybe a day but when I wake up the next morning I'm in pain again. I am 23 years old and it already has progressed to a state that it will at times interfere with normal everyday activities and now it is starting to effect my shoulders (it almost feels like they are slightly out of joint and pinching a nerve and the pain just shoots down my arm). I am very petite; 5'4'' and weigh 103pds so I know it's not a weight issue and It is not caused by large breasts either. Does anyone know any doctors, exercises, or surgeries I could look into. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any advise would be greatly appreciated : )
