Pain & Pain Management - January 2007

i have been sleeping badly in my bed, so I slept in the spare room last night. My back was bothering me when I went to bed. I woke up at 4:00 with such severe back pain it hurt to wear pants. I took a hot bath and tried to stretch out my muscles, but I ended up having to call off work.

My husband was very sweet to go pick up some Doan's, a heating pad, and muscl rub for me...but other than beig very warm and stinky, i don't feel much better. Any tips on muscle pain relief?

I've had this aggrivating headache for the past 5 days now. My neck hurts, my eyes hurt, and the headache is in my forehead and temples. In that 5 days the headache hasn't gone away once. Its making it so I cant sleep at night because my head hurts more when I lay down!! Sometimes I can get away with laying on my side, but even then after a while that hurts too. I'm starting to get scared of what it may be. Please, someone help.

I have a tingling pain on the palm of my hand that feels it is some kind of a pinched nerve. It is right where my hand is when using a mouse, which I use frequently during the day. I also use a stapler frequently, and that might be the cause as well. Does anyone know the name for this or what it is?

I was diagnosed with a sinus infection yesterday. I am having the most awful pain. The worst is in my right ear but my throat, face, and nose on the right side of my face are in excruciating, agonizing pain.

Sleeping hurts, eating is the worst, when I swallow, it feels like someone is kicking me in the head...

Is there anything I can do to relieve this?

I've tried OTC pain killers, they all work for about 2 hours or so and it keeps getting worse!

I think I have been developing migraine headaches. I have alot of pressure/pain at the top of my head, combined with dizziness, lack of concentration and a strange metallic taste in my mouth. These headaches are now coming every day.

Does it sound like migraine to you?

I have a torn meniscus in my left knee, and my doctor recently recommended cortisone shots to treat that injury. Is this a good idea? Does anybody know about Cortisone shots? And what are the side effects?

I've always been one to get headaches! Some of them bad enough to make me sick more then once in a day. I will go to sleep having one (taking meds before i go to bed) and wake up with it being there if not worse. I have to say today it has been a non stop issue. What could be the cause of these headaches? do you think this is something i should most likely see a doctor for! It seems like meds are working anymore and if they do it helps for about an hour or so!

The tip of my big toe on my left foot has been numb for the past couple weeks, I have also had horrible headaches. I just discovered that in reflexology there is a correlation between the big toe and your head. Can someone please explain to me exactly what a Reflexologist would do to help my headache?

For the last few weeks, when I try to get comfortable at night---no matter what position I lay in, what pillow I use (or not use), what firmness/softness I set the bed (we have a sleep number bed), etc.... I cannot get my neck comfortable!!!!! It feels as if my neck muscles are strained all the time and I don't know why!

When I try to sleep with no pillow at all or something rolled up under my neck, the veins in my head pulse heavily and my head feels like it's about to explode, so I am constantly trying to change positions (being up half the night and waking my husband up). I've also tried those memory foam pillows with the little neck ridge with no luck. I don't know if this has anything to do with it---but I've been trying to fight off getting a cold for a little while (some slightly swollen glands), and every once and awhile, my husband massages my neck.

I am 28 years old, the correct weight, and fairly healthy. Is something wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks!

On my back, right below my left shoulder, it starts to cramp up and it hurts. It kind of gets hard to breath.

Can someone tell me what they think about that?
