Can anyone help I know that maybe not many can, I had a spinal fusion done four weeks ago now, and I`m having trouble with my leg in terms of tingling sensations, numbness and pins and needles. My question is should this be happening, or is it just a natural process of recovery that I`m going through.

Thanks all.

I woke up last night and had a cramp in my right calf.I tried working it out, but it just got worse so I stood up. When I stood up I got the most aweful cramp in the back of my left thigh. It spread to my rear and then up into my back. It was terrible. I couldn't walk or move.I started getting slight cramps in my arch, then my ankes about 4 weeks ago. I drink plenty of water, I eat well and I get enough exercise. This has never happened to me before. What could it be?

Ok so i have a 2 mm kidney stone they told me it was supposed to have passed by now but it doesn't feel as though it has! My physician reffered me to a specialist (urologist) well i went usually they say we need to do a pelvic exams but the urologist wording was i need to check your privates! That made me feel uncomfortable they don't talk like that, anyways i have him the benefit of the doubt need to take care of this well he sent me home with a appt on march 27 i called them yesterday and said look i'm in a lot of pain i feel as though i am being scrapped up inside my pelvis area this hurts!!! Can i get an appt sooner and get adecuate pain relief till then the nurse said she would call me back, they did an hour later saying he will not call you in a pain prescription you shouldn't be in that much pain if i was hurting that bad to go to the ER or back to my doctor i've done these things and they said i need to see a specialist, i told her there being unprofessional, opinions please

I'm a little concerned about my work colleague who has been taking eight pro-pain a day, (a painkiller containing codeine) for nearly ten years). Surely, this can't be good for her. She's trying to cut down but says she's addicted. What are the potential repercussions?

Thanks

I have a pain that feels like its on my left backside just above my hipbone. Sometimes it also feels like its right above my hip on my left front side on my abdomen. Also, as of right now, I'll feel it go up to my left shoulder.

What is this!? Can it be my appendix, even though that organ is on the right side? Is it gullbladder? Ovaries? What??

***Yesterday was my sister's birthday and I ate quite a bit of junk food, which seemed to aggrevate it a little more. I've had this pain for about a month or so.

Sore throat (neck pain) cant swallow liquids/food, severe headaches, no energy and also fever. It started off with just minor pain in swallowing, but then when i went home few hours later, cause i had felt tired and went to sleep; later when i woke up i had a fever (high temperature) severe headache's and was feeling severe pains in my throat when i try to swallow.

I dont know if this is just something minor which i can sort out by drinking lemsip or something. Can anyone help? maybe i need to see the doctor?

I just have a question about Percocet and Vicodin. My husband had his wisdom teeth out and is having pain. They gave him vicodin and he is still hurting. I am prescribed Percocet for my back. He is in the military and has drug tests often.Would the two of these show up the same on a drug test? Percocet is stronger than Vicodin right??

I have had this nagging, constant, needle like pain in my right leg for a couple years now. it hurts so bad sometimes i would wake up in the middle of the night or i couldnt even fall asleep because of the pain. Now it's even distracting me when i'm in class and driving. The pain starts from my knee cap but more on the side of the knee cap and it goes down the side of the shin. It hurts sooo bad. It's like sharp needle pain. It would stop for a lilttle bit and come back again this annoying pain! i went to the doc and they couldnt find out what's wrong with me the neurologist couldnt find anything wrong with me neither...any ideas?

About 3 days ago I woke up with jaw pain. It hurts on my left said in the area right by my ear lobe and where my upper left wisdom teeth was (I got all four taken out in May of 2006). It only hurts when I chew on my right side, when I chomp hard, and I get throbbing pain throughout the day. I've been taken aleve and it helps but it has yet to go away fully. My mom said it might be a ear infection or TMJ, not sure. I'm going to my dentist in about 2 weeks for a cleaning, should I ask him about it? Thanks!!
