Pain & Pain Management - January 2007

I had my appendix taken out late Tues. night and came home late Wed. afternoon. I was prescribed 5mg percocet for pain and I have had it MANY times in the past for my back, but now when I take it I start to vomit and get ill. Could this be because of the surgery? This also happened when I stopped taking it and tried a tylenol (7 hours after my last percocet). I wasn't anywhere near my tylenol (acetemetaphine) level, but yet it now makes me sick. Do you think a doc would switch meds for me or is this bad to ask being I was able to take percocet before my surgery?

Okay heres the thing I have pain in my hands,wrist,elbows,and shoulders and my doctor said that is may be carpal tunnel but then I went back a year later because I still have pain almost everyday day now and she said she wasn't sure so I am going to see an hand/orthapedic surgeon and specialist. But then the other day I post a question on here and someone told me ask my doctor about "Mixed Conntective Tissue Disorder that has rheumtoid arthritis involved" because he had similar problems with his arms so I looked it up online and they said it had do with lupus so this is why I was asking if it ran in families because I have someone in my family with it and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to ask my doctor about it when I see him in march? I am only 17 so I really would like to figure out the problem before it just gets worse you know?

Every time I swallow I get a sharp pain at the base of my sternum. It doesn't hurt when I breathe softly, but I can feel it if I bend over backwards. It has been like this for three days and shows no signs of easing. What could it be?

I've been having it since last saturday! And everytime i take excedrin it always comes back! Like i took some excedrin migraine this morning and i was fine until like 3 hours later! I take tylenol pm every night but i dont know if it works because i fall asleep but when i wake up my head really hurts! i try to relax but it doesn't work..but i think i know why i got my headache back this morning. Because there's this voice in my mind that talks to me sometimes like today i skipped English (i had to because there's this boy that was messing with me yesterday and i have a headache and i dont feel like getting messed with) and no he's not the reason i have the headache. Well actually i asked myself "why did you skip english?" because someone might ask me and my mind goes blank sometimes when someone asks me a question. Well anywayz how do i stop the headache????????

I'm only 23 years old but I use to drink a lot, like a fith of liquor a day for nearly three years. I had blood in my stool before for a little over a year then I went to the doctor and he said it could be internal hemorids or ulcers on my colon. Not to sure what he was saying because the military sent me to a Korean doctor off base and he barley spoke english and my doctor didn't military physician didn't tell me anything. I have quit drinking though for over a year. So I don't know why I have blood in my stool again and sharp pain in my left side. The pain only last for about a min but it hurst like hell some times. Any Ideas?

Earlier last week, my leg hurt really bad. I skateboard, alot. It hurts when I move my leg up to a 90 degree angle. It hurts at the top of my leg by my hip. It has healed mostly but never fully goes away. What is injured in my leg? How do I heal it fast? I need it to go away by the weekend. It already ruined my plans to go snowboarding =[
