i have been to 4 different doctors for my condition and they tell me i will be in chronic pain the rest of my life, shots or surgery will not help me they say. I have seen pain dr. , a spine specialist, a regular back surgeon , family physician, and then a 4th opinion, they all say the same thing and tell me it is not a disability, but that the pain is disabling, i havent worked in 8 years because of the pain and it just gets worse , i am prescribed pain killers and muscle relaxants, pain patches, ect.It only helps temporarily , my bones r too frail for surgery they say. I was told to go home and do nothing for the next 20 years and then i will be in a wheelchair and maybe they can do surgery then but too risky now . SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME I WOULD LIKE YO HEAR FROM SOMEONE in the medical profession, please help me i am 44 year old white female drs. think i was born this way,,, really desperate

I was recently diagnosed with an ovarian cyst that has been causing a lot of pain, and my doctor put me on Tramadol. It doesn't help the pain completely, but just makes me really spaced out. It also gives me awful headaches. I was wondering if anybody knows if I can take headache medication while I'm on the Tramadol. I need to stay on the Tramadol because the only dosage of non-prescription painkillers that would help would be about 5 pills every few hours, and I don't want to do that. So yes...any doctors or nurses out there that have any suggestions?

I was on verapamil for 6 months with no relief from migraines. I was at a dose of 240mg/day. Now when I try to wean off it I get severe migraines at doses less than 60mg/day. Will the migraines go away after a period of time?
verapamil was doing me no good and caused weight gain, but I can't seem to stop taking it without complications.

My 7 year old son had eye surgery today and I was instructed to give him tylenol or motrin for pain, but 2 hours later he is saying his eyes hurt. Should I apply warm or cold compresses? I am just asking for temporary advice from people who really know what to do. I will call tomorrow to find out what to do. Thanks in advance!

I have sciatica, real bad. My problem is narcotic pain meds work real good for the pain but I am very busy building a financial business and I need to be sharp when I talk to people and not "looped" on pain meds and most times normal pain relievers can't touch the pain. What can be done?

I heard that aspirin interacts with fish oil pills. So does that mean that I can't ever take any tylenol if I have aches, pains, or cramps?

So i had an ovarian cyst that ruptured last month and I was in the hospital for it they just noticed i had clear pelvic fluid in me and they said it would just deteriate after time. About two weeks ago I had my period and it was so bad the cramps were two days before my period and even after and now Im just feeling pain like near my lower pelvic area. Ive been checked at by the gyno though 2 weeks ago and last week they did an ultrasound. They said there isnt anything in my pelvic region. I told my doctor about the pain and he said it could be IBS because I have been under so much stress for the last month and a half. I also heard it may be chronic pelvic pain. I just dont know what to think about it. I also once was using q-tips for 2 weeks to check my discharge to see for any unsualness going on. I just dont know what to think.
