my dr prescribed it for my excruciating back aches. my whole back is tight & knotted, have been getting massages, but can only afford so many. maybe i pulled a muscle, but it is my whole back not just one particular area, so he gave me naproxen (anti-inflammatory) while is basically a prescribed aleve. it's not working yet, but it has only been 1 day...i think he's afraid to prescribe a pain med

im 23, and i had an slip/fall injury on 9/13/06
im in horrible pain 16 hours a day...none of the 5 dr's ive seen will give me meds to control the pain. it also doesnt help that im a full time student and work 30 hrs a week, i feel like im going to break soon...i cant sleep, i have trouble sitting/standing for anything over 30 min. my whole personality has changed, i get stressed out too easily now
ive been doing physical therapy with stretches/core strenghtening exersices and the neurosurgeon im seeing did an epidural steroid injection in my lumbar spine 2 weeks ago, which has done nothing for me thus far

During the last couple of weeks I have had about 3 severe heartburn episodes, my symptoms are, the pain starts below the rib cage then spreads right over my chest, it is so painful that I double up ,it also makes my jaw and teeth ache, I have a high pain threshold but this last one actually made me cry, it was an intense dull ache, what do you think?? I took 6 antacid pills and it went away it usually lasts about 5/8 mins. Thanks so much for your help.

I've been having a headache on and off for about 3 days, the pain is usually on the left side of my head and sometimes goes into my neck/shoulder, and can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, but it is usually pretty painful to me. Anyone have an idea what this is? Also I just got done with my mid terms last week and was extremely nervous for a few, does this have anything to do with it?

I have had a terrible migrane/neck pain but I'm unsure of the cause. It has gone on for about a week now, and it starts in my shoulder/neck area and along the sides of my head. I have a few sinus issues (anosmia or stuffy nose, perhaps), and sleep funny occasionally so I wake up with shoulder pains. But would that be enough to cause a migrane-type headache? Also, I seem to have a few current issues that make me feel an overwhelming amount of guilt. I work at home most days, am indoors a great deal, and at the computer for several hours...Any ideas as to what this could be? (I know that is not much info, but anything would be helpful at this point..)

I have three ruptured discs and severe disc degeneration in L-4 to S-1. I have done months of therapy, esi's (epidural steriod injections), completely changed my lifestyle and yet I still have constant pain. Now, most of the time, my pain is relieved by Darvocet or Lorcet which I take once a day, maybe 3-4 times a week. Not much at all. However, there are the days where Im really having trouble and five Lorcets wouldn't put a dent in the pain! These are the days Im forced to lay in bed, in excrutiating pain. I want to explain to my doc that the meds he prescribed me, while on mild days, are fine, but on bad days, don't help in the slightest. But with all the drug addicts these days looking for a stronger pill, I dont want him to think Im one of them. I mean, a 30 day supply would last me three to four months easily, so I don't think that there should be a problem, but I don't know how to approach it. Truly, I think my husband is about to handle it. He's so tired of seeing me in pain!

I tore it almost a month ago and the pain just keeps increasing, the docs have been giving me percocet for it but it only works for about an hour or so, plus, being military they are kind of stingy with pain meds. What can I do to lessen the pain?

I have a doctors appt schedule but can't get in until Thursday afternoon and I was hoping someone could offer me some pointers. I've been having lower back pain since Friday, it's a dull pain but is making it very hard for me to lift my youngest daughter (I've ceased lifting her unless totally necessary i.e. getting in and out of the car and her crib), it is also very hard to get in and out of a chair or the couch as well as if I sit down on the floor.

Friday the pain was the worst with the pain shooting into my leg. I've been taking advil and aleve but neither seem to really get rid of the pain. I'm sleeping with a pillow between my legs which makes sleep a little better but I'm still in pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but serious answers only please!

Thanks in advance for any help :0)

I'm not exactly sure why my Doctor prescribed amoxicillan when I'm not allergic to penicillan. Will penicillan work better to get rid of my strep? I'm in pain too...my mother has been giving me hydrocodone but it's not working that well. Does anyone know of a better way to relieve the pain of strep, medicinal or herbal??

i was at the supermarket and a doctor was on his cell talking. and he said, "if anyone comes in with chest pains, it is narcotics. dont give them any. their just looking for drugs. theyre narcotics. of course, maybe they are really in pain. sometimes its for real, but its better to be on the safe side and not give them any." i was shocked to hear this, because a couple years ago i had a botched dental surgery and my dentist went on a vacation and the stand-in dentist assisted with an emergency i had. well the stand in would not give me any pain killers. he gave me two with tylenol. i am allergic to tylenol. i was in the worse pain of my life that i am still thinking about it. i think that if any doctors are reading this, i think this attitude is very very bad. there are some people really suffering. i think that is just plain rotten.

I keep having a sensation on the one cheek like that side of my face is raised up higher, like it would if I were winking on that side. It just feels a little tingly like I need to slap it. It feels like it can't relax. It feel like the one side is lopsided, but it isn't. It just feels that way. What is it? I've read stuff about the face feeling droopy on one side, but it doesn't feel droopy..quite the opposite.

I fell in the shower on Thursday and broke te door and thought I was okay. I woke up at 3am sat/sun morning in the most severe pain I've ever had in my life (other than when I had open heart surgery) I went to the ER yesterday (I already had Vicodin 500 for chronic back pain and 800 Motrin but neither does anything for me) The doctor told me I brusied my ribs and he gave me Percocet which seems to work (a little) Seriously! It's 5 mg. I am still in a great deal of pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Example: I'm laying on the couch and I cant look up (in back of me/life myself up) to see the time! And I can't do anything with my left side at all! If I even reach for water with my left hand, the sharp pain in my ribs is so severe pain and sharp!!! Is there anything else I can do to lesson the pain??? And does anyone know how long I'll be in pain with bruised ribs??!!! Thanks a lot for answers :) connie
