I have a lot of headaches and back pain and nothing seems to work for either. I have taken many different types of Tylenol, Excedrin, that sort of thing, even Motrin 800 but nothing works. THe only thing that has worked so far is a few Vicodin some friends have given me, but I know I can't just go to my doctor and ask for Vicodin, even though I know it works. Any suggestions??

I dislocated my tail-bone back in mid-June. I still have pain when sitting upright,especially when getting up from sitting position. I've seen an orthopedist (sp), and they x-rayed me ant the tip was still slightly out of wack (October). The doctor gave me a cortizone shot, and some pain pills and said try not to sit on it.

Just wondering if anyone had similar problems and how long it took to get better and if I should really go find another doctor ...again. Doctor's I've talked to said that not much they can do, that it should eventually get better....but 8 months of discomfort seems a bit too long.

(part of my problem is I've been between jobs and working temp jobs so no insurance for the past 9 months...so reluctant to have to fork out the extra money for the same advice).

Ive just had a baby 5 weeks ago, and my backache is tremendous. Absalotely nothing makes it go away. Its in my lower back all the time, and sometimes between my shoulders slightly to the right. I had an epedural during labour, but it hurt before i had it. then it started getting worse. I wasnt allowed to move even slightly from the sitting position during labour for 16 hours and it hurt then, i think thats what might have started it.

It gets worse everyday and ive tired pain killers and Deep Heat but that made it worse. It feels like the muscels are tense and i cant relax them. Can anyone suggest anything to make the pain go away? Im desperate now

I have had 2 pregnancies, resulting in 3 children. I had sciatic pain during pregnancy and it disappeared postpartum, but it flares up frequently. Is there anything I can do to help these flare-ups? I am about to die! It is very difficult to take care of my 5 year old and 14 month old twins. Meds don't seem to work. Any exercises or stretches that anyone knows of?
Please HELP!

I went to webmd and there's nothing there about treating sciatic nerve pain with depo-medrol. It was 1cc injected IM (my hip). What can I expect as a result of this shot? Am I going to gain weight? Can I still take my Prozac in conjunction with (I forgot to tell my doctor that my gyn has me on Sarafem)?
Thanks for your kind and informative responses.

My 10 yr. old son often gets pain in the back of his neck whenever he gets a sore throat. It's not meningitis because the pain isn't that severe. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident 1 1/2 years ago that has left me in chronic pain. My neck was broken in 3 spots, back broken in 2 spots, left shoulder fractured, left knee and left foot were shattered. I've tried just about everything and the only thing that seemed to help were the harsher narcotics, which the docs are reluctant to keep giving because of tolerance and dependancy issues.

A friend of mine suggested marijuana and I've done some research, but am a little leary. Right now I'm ready to try anything for relief, but prefer not to have to resort to buying stuff off the street. And I don't want to drink booze to make me feel better, either. Tried it but nearly ended up going to AA meetings.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, and please don't tell me how lucky I am just to be alive after those injuries. Sometimes I wish I hadn't survived just because of the pain.
