My tongue always feels slighty numb after eating raw celery and I wondered if it had any anaesthetic properties.

My friends boyfriend says he does it to get more pain relief from it. Doesn't this ruin the whole idea of being time released? Wouldn't it be dangerous?

I have a thoracic compression fracture (t9-10) and a disk herniation (t7-8). I have been through physical theory - it made pain worse and caused swelling; 3 epidural injections - no relief; and now I'm getting facet injections near herniated disk. The first of those injections did nothing but cause more pain. Tomorrow I get my second one. I am frustrated, in chronic pain, and nothing is helping. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge that they could please share? The pain is getting worse and has already effected my bladder and it hurts to laugh now. Any advice please? I don't know what to do.

I live away from home for school, and since I've been here. I had these migraines at 3am in the morning for the past 9 days At this point sleeping it off is no longer an options, lately I've been sitting in my house in the dark with no sound just to dull the pain a bit. However I feel it taking a toll on my mental health which I've already been labeled as bipolar depression. But I'm at wits end and dont know what to do.

I had an Epidural Steroid Injection between T 7-8 on Friday morning. I was in a car accident (guy ran a red light hit me at 50 mph) and so I now have a disc protrusion there. Did the therapy, time, etc. Finally doctor said to do this shot. The procedure was a lot longer than I thought and many more needles than I was told. About 8 min and 10 - 12 needle pokes. Was in very bad back pain all weekend. Went to work Mon. and after 2 1/2 hrs had to go home. Later Mon. evening it started to hurt below my ribcage (not below as in my abdomin). It felt bruised and almost like I did 1,000 sit ups only that pain was in the wrong area and I did no sit ups. Went to the doc. this morning, said it effected nerves and that is very painful. Anyone else heard or had anything like this. I feel like a horse kicked me it's SO tender and sore. They said it should go away in 1 - 2 weeks. I just forgot to ask why or how this could have happend, did they mess up somehow?

I have been suffering from migraines on average 2-3 times a week for the past two years (sometime much higher frequency) and wake every morning with at least a dull headache and a tense jaw. I've tried the doctor, the naturopath, the chiropractor and the dentist (I've recently been fitted with a night guard to stop possible jaw clenching at night) but nothing seems to have helped a great deal.
I'd love to hear from other migraine sufferers to find out how you have cured yourself from migraines, reduced their frequency or found some kind of relief.

Or are there any treatments that might help? Surgery doesn't sound likely and the injections don't offer much relief. Walking, standing, stairs are just too painful.

Today morning while doing my regular excercise, I strained the muscle near my left scapula. Before the excercise, I do stretching excerise. At that time itself I noticed some strain. I didn't give much importance to it and I continued with my excercise. RESULT - I strained my muscle. I stopped the excercise and kept the related muscle at rest. I feel painless when the muscle is at rest. But severe pain is generated when I move my body. It is early in the morning here (4 am). I cannot hunt for a doctor now.

Moreover, I want to know how to get cured from this injury in few minutes. There must be a way. Let me know if you know the way.

I am not expecting usual methods: cold pack, hot pack and muscle rest.

I also want to know why muscle strain occurs.

I also would like to speak with people that currently take Methadone for pain relief, your results, or any problems you may have encountered since taking Methadone. I do not want to hear from former heroin users as your usage is for a different matter.
