Arthritus, tendinitus, or carpal tunnel (sp)

It usually flares up after prolonged video gaming, typing, or writting. My wrist get sore and a little swollen. My hands do not go numb, but the pain sometimes shoots up into my fingers. It hurts to bend my wrist in any direction.Tensor bandages seem to help, as they keep my wrists from bending.

I’m in so much pain right now. I’ve given myself 2 Imitrex injections. I called my doctor and he said to take the Stadol every 4 hours as I need it… But the headache is too intense for the Stadol to work at this stage. It has been helping me to fall asleep for a bit, but wears off quick, and my headache comes right back full blown. I’m also taking Zofran for the nausea/vomiting.

3 weeks ago I ended up in the ER. The doctors were a bit worried so they did an MRI which came back normal, relief there. I’ve been in my dark, silent room since last night with a cold cloth over my eyes, taken the abortive/pain meds that I have.

I can usually control these headaches, but days like today where nothing is helping I don’t know what to do and usually end up in the ER. I don’t think its right to go to the ER now especially since the MRI showed nothing else is wrong. But I don’t know what to do for this pain? I've been taking the Stadol, but I swear this last dose didn't even help a bit.

The pain will travel down my arm to my fingers sometimes but will at times be primarily in the upper arm area and shoulder. Also sometimes goes across my shoulder to my neck up to my ear. Sometimes it can be a sharp shooting pain but most times it is just a constant pain. I cannot lift my arm very high in any direction. I seen a physiotherapist and when she lifted my arm the pain was horrible and my arm still would not go very high. The exercises did not help. I have been to my doctor a few times and all she continues to say is that it is tendonitis. She did have an xray done and it showed nothing. I did not injure it in any way that I can recall. So I seen a different doctor at a walk in clinic and all he did for me was give me a muscle relaxant, Ibuprofen, and a painkiller for the pain and it helps a little but still barely touches the pain I am experiencing and I don't want anymore drugs. Any ideas of what might be wrong with it? Or what I can do?

I am in pain, had the four holes --scopic surgery but am in pain, have a hard time moving around and I even hurt coughing. What good can I expect as well as the bad? When will I be up and running again? I want to be my old self again? I am exhausted and need some honest opinions and true experiences from others who have experienced it or know people who have?

I was given tramadol about seven years ago for all-over pain in my body that was labeled "fibromyalgia". Since that time I have become addicted to it and cannot stop it without going through withdrawal. If I can't get it, like a drug addict, I would do almost anything. I am now non-functional at all without it. Has anyone else ever been on it with this problem and how did you get off? I have been pretty consistent at two 50 mg tablets three times a day to be able to work and be "normal". The withdrawal is horrible - after just a few hours of missing a dose. I get achy, feverish, sweats, sleepy, electric shocks in my body, headache, nausea, diarrhea, etc...

I have had the worst headache ever and have just finished a nightshift. In my pain and tiredness i have been swallowing Ibuprofen 400mgs thinking they were 200mg tabs. At 1 go I took 3, ie 1200mg at once and I think in 24 hours I've probably taken 2400mg along with Paractemol. I felt a bit dizzy an hour after taking them but feel fine now and will take nothing else for a few days. Thing is, I've still got a bloody headache! Will I have done any damage with my stupidness?

Can anyone help me?????
I was in a car accident and hurt my knee pretty bad and was in rehab. They left me go saying I'll have to have both knees replaced by the time I'm 40 (I'm 20 now) and that they couldn't do anything else. Well my knee still hurts and it's shooting pain up my leg to my outer thigh and it hurts so bad. I can't exercise or do all the things I used to do. Any advice on what I can do to stay in shape? Also, what should I do about this knee problem? I'm already suing the girl who hit me cause she ran a red light. Also, they did an MRI, my kneecap is shifting to the left. Isn't there anything they can do besides give me pain meds?

I have a serious pain on the bottom of my left foot-it just started yesterday as I was walking and it is still there, it feels like bone pain, I did not do anything to injure my foot in any way. Does anyone know what it is? Could it be a bone spur? What do those feel like? I can't go to the Dr. because I have no insurance, so I will try some home remedies. Any ideas? Thanks for all of your help !
