Pain & Pain Management - January 2007

i often find myself waking up in the mornings with severe stomach pains and i am just wondering what is causing this. at first i suspected it was heavy drinking but i laid off for weeks and the problem persisted. i then suspected that i was not eating well so i solved that problem too but still no change so what could be causing this sever pain

The doctor prescribed naproxen for the pain I've been experiencing with my ankle because the advil wasn't helping and tearing my stomach up. The leaflet states that one of the signs of a serious reaction is joint pain. When I asked a nurse today she treated me like I was an idiot. I know it's not going to take the pain away quickly but thing is that it varies throughout the day (largely dependent on my activity level) and I just want to make sure it's nothing to worry about. I know if I start breaking out in hives/rash, trouble breathing, etc. that needs to be addressed but what about joint pain? Was that just a misprint?

I found out today that I have a cyst INSIDE my ovary. I've been in a LOT of pain, and today the doc gave me a script for Flagyl 500 MG 2x a day, and also gave meTylenol 3 + codeine (Tylenol/COD #3 30MG TABS) to take "1 to 2 tablets by mouth every 4 hours as needed for pain" --as bottle states. Ok, at the doc office they also shot me in my backside with stuff that is leaving a bitter taste in my mouth still have a pain in my a** cause of the shot. How often would it be safe to take just one, not two? Since it says I could take one OR two every few hours, I'm confused. Maybe it's just the shot, but I can't seem to figure it out... THANKS in advance!!

I just wrote a question stating that i think my uterus is contracting and i asked if this is normal. now the pain in my bladder/uterus ares is getting more intense. tight and almost like a contraction. but now i have a sharp intense stabbing pain in my back right where my kidney is on the left side. so could the pain be a stone in the bladder, and not the uterus at all? could the pain in my back be a stone? now i'm scared to go to bed. last time i fell asleep thinking i had a stone, i woke up in such severe pain that i was unable to walk! i had to have my husband assist me into the car and i cried all the way to the hospital! what do you think?

I'm a 24 y old female. I have had constant chest pain for about 5 days, and went to the ER on the 5th day when it increased and challenged me to breath. I had an EKG, a chest xray, and blood tests that came back fine. I was given vicodin for pain, but it didn't help. I followed up with my doctor two days later who suggested this ws a muscularskeletal injury, and prescribed muscle relaxers. I have been taking them along with motrin, and I'm not too sure that it's helping. The pain is stil there, but rather than being constant it comes and goes throughout the day. It has been overv a week since the pain started. Should I be worried? IF this is muscular, how long will it take to get better? I have had sore muscles previously and the soreness only lasted bout 23 days. What should I do? Please help.

i can barely hear out of my ear any more and there is a constant ringing. I want to know what is wrong with me. The doctor doesn't seem to know what they are talking about. It came on real sudden and i had a bad ear ache. The ache stayed a while, but it is now gone and i can't hear very well at all.

I have too much stuff to do today--pick some produce up, return some DVDs before 30 days after purchase is up and get my daughter from daycare; get some treadmill time in, make dinner, etc... I don't have time to drive across town to see him today and don't really want to pay the $35.

I threw one of my discs out slightly while picking up my 2-year-old. Is there something I can do? Roll on my back like an egg? Some kind of yoga? It hurts---but not enough to warrant a visit just yet. I know I'm setting myself up for more pain tomorrow by not going --but damn! Life just has me too busy today--LOL!

I’m going for a MRI soon & a person told me I have to wear a full helmet because of the metal fillings in my teeth. I’ve never heard of this before & don’t know how comfortable I’d be wearing a helmet. I’d rather go to the dentist & have the metal fillings taken out. Has anyone heard of this?

Since about 4 hours ago I've been having what reminds me of "growing pains" when I was little. My legs feel tired, and there's a pulsing ache that hurts a bit and is driving me crazy. It feels like I just need to stretch out my legs, but that does no good.

I'm 17 years old and I'm 6"4, so it can't be growing pains, could it?

I catch what I think is a charlie horse in the arches of my feet...It doesn't happen too often but when it did in the past, it was for a couple of minutes and now when I catch it, it only lasts for a minute. What is does is my arch of my feet turns very hard and it starts to cramp up and my toes go in different directions. Is this normal? Did you ever get this? What can be wrong with me?

I wear out my shoes on the outside corner of my heels. I used run in Asics 2110 GT's but after 3 months and 20-25 miles per week, i began experiencing pain in my right knee. I've been taking it easy on running and on the hunt for a new shoe. The sporting goods store I went to suggested a motion control shoe, I tried the Adidas Supernova Control but that seemed to cause ankle pain, doubled my knee pain and added lower back pain. How is the wear n tear on Asics? Is it normal to replace a shoe after 3 months? Any suggestions for a good cushioned running shoe? Help! I miss running!

I've had this for 6 months now. I have had a lateral release, ice 3-4 times a day, antiinflams, phys ther. No improvement. It's so bad that I have not worked for the better part of six month and have been on crutches. Pain around my knee cap, pain in my joint and pain in the back of my thigh and calf along with swelling of course. The knee brace makes my leg hurt. I'm going crazy!
