Pain & Pain Management - January 2007

I broke a bone in my large toe and tore the ligaments very badly almost 10 years ago when I was 13. Then in college I refractured the same bone just by walking around in very high heeled shoes.

I have broken bones before but this break is extremely painful--10 times more than any other. I have constant pain and have tried many things like stretches and foot soaks. I figured because this is the only time I have torn ligaments in the area that perhaps that was the issue. The doctors have told me the pain would go away but I am still dealing with it 10 years later.

Has anyone else had a similar injury with ligament tears? What have you done to decrease the pain? Have you had an particular type of surgery that alleviated it?

I took some medication an hour ago, but it didn't help (truth be told, it rarely helps so I don't even know why I take it...). What do you do when you have a major headache?

Okay so Liek I said I have arm problems they are always hurting me my wrist , elbows, and Shoulders always hurt so I went to the doctors my freshmen year they said Tenedonitis(SP?) and then i went my Junior Year of HS that is and they said Carpal Tunnel and then I went this year and she said she wasn't sure and that is might be arthristis...Now I am going to a Surgeon in March and I don't know what to think. My Doctor asked if I have other joint problems but at the time I wasn't thinking of anything else and said know but then it later on hit me that my hips not very often but sometimes almost feel as if they are grinding....Idk what do you all think? Oh I don't know if this will help but sometimes my fingers go numb when I use them to much which may have given my doctor the reason to think it was carpal tunnel...PLease help I am only 17 I would love to see your opinions

About two weeks ago I had a cold. I still have the congested cough but feel fine. This morning I woke up and under my left ear down my neck is sore to touch. It is not swollen, just very sore to touch or when I eat and turn my head to the right. Does anyone know why?

When I am on pointe, I get mild cramps in the arch of my foot. Also, when I take my shoes off, my big toes are mashed down around the corner of the nail instead of straight across the toe. Finally, when I stand with just one foot on pointe, my ankle keeps sickling. Are my ankles too weak? Will I have to go off pointe? and are there any exercises that i could do to prevent my feet from sickling on pointe?

I fell about 5 weeks ago and landed right on my back. Recently , I have begun to experience severe back pain, and went to my chiropractor yesterday. She said that it was very inflammed and gave me some treatment. After, I felt even worse, to the point where I can barely even walk. I went to the emerg today , desperate to get a stonger pain killer/anti-inflammatory ( ibuprofen wasn't working ) and the DR said the chiropractor could have made the inflammation worse . Does anyone know if this could be true? I have gone to that chiropractor for years and trust them, but now I'm wondering....

Thanks !

I had a spinal tap/lumber puncture done on tuesday night. My back is still killing me. I take the percacets, but the moment they start to wear off, I get these flashes of pain that cause me to stop what I am doing and wait til it passes. Is this normal? I dont remember if the doctor said it was or not.

I have been on percocet for 3 years, I injured my back 3 years ago and my back has been causing me pain ever since and a few months ago broke my leg, I have been taking percocet once or twice a day for the last 3 years, I've been in so much pain I try taking asprin first but it doesnt touch my pain so i wait a few hours then take the perocet for the pain, is this considered an addiction taking it once or twice a day everyday for pain? if so how can I get off the medicine safely?
