i've had many accidents in my life. i've injured many areas of my body and then got diagnosed with both chronic pain disorder as well as "borderline" fibromyalgia. one of the medications i have taken for so long is amitriptilyne (elevil), one 25 mg./night.

in the past 6 to 9 months, i have been experiencing, daily, a pain all over my body (but not in my torso itself) whereby it feels like the fascia that holds the musles and tendons on the bones aches. what is this condition? what is done to treat it? my doctor already doubled the dose of elevil that i take each night. it only helps a little bit. i do NOT have arthritis and do not need a rheumatologist. what else could this be?

It is a Dr. Levine product. My mother has one but can't remember where she purchased it from, and she'd like another one for a bowling colleague.

I have a bulging disk at L5 and it's pushing on my siatic nerve. I can't control my right leg. I have to stand on my left leg. I weigh nearly 300 lbs. so it's hard to take all the weight on one foot. Last night I went flying across the room because I stepped on the right leg and it's useless. I drove home and almost crashed my truck trying to use that leg to break with! I left work crying too! I went in today and stayed all day, but I told them not to expect me tomorrow!

One day me and my brother were playing video games and I beat him so he jokingly dragged me out of his room. The problem is he doesn't know his own strength and when he dragged me he pulled my arm pretty bad. My arm and shoulder hurt for a couple of days after that and for the past 3 weeks I've had back pain and shooting pain in my head, neck and occasionally my shoulder. I haven't done anything physical that would cause this pain. Could my neck, head and back pain be related to this incident? What should I do?

I've been having these shoulder pains itz near the back for a week now and i don't know what it is. It comes and goes it feels like I have been leaning on it for a while and i haven't. Its on my left shoulder, but i write with my right hand so i don't think thats the problem and it can't be how im sleeping because the way i have slept nothing has changed and it never hurt before and i don't think itz arthritis because i am only 16 unless i can get it at this age, i don't know but i was wondering if anyone knows how to relieve the pain if they can let me know how and if there are any home remedies.

My osteopath told me that my chronic neck and shoulder pain is caused by the mucles surrounding the sternum. Can anyone help me find good internet resources on this issue?

My right ribcage hurts to the touch. Its kinda swolen, and its a little warm. Should i get it checked out? What could have caused it? FYI, I haven't done anything to make it hurt.

I am experiencing sharp stabbing pains under my left rib cage.This occurs at least twice a day and prevents me from getting things done. The problem keeps presisting and seems to hurt the most after eating a meal. The only way I know to get the pain to lesson is to add pressure to it and arch over.

Hi, i am 30 years (2007) and having headache since 1992, it makes total of 15 years. i use to have Crocin(Indian brand of painkiller, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocin). And sometime's Disprin. Almost daily i had to have either one of these before going to bed otherwise i could not sleep. I do not take both together. if i wake up early around 6:30 am, i do not feel pain in head otherwise i will 100% get headache if i wake up on or after 7/8 am. If i eat/drink ice-cream, cold-dinks, yogurt, milk pain will strike any time of the day else it will only start around 9-11 pm in night. it also depend on my work/movement, if i work more there are very good chances that it wont strike. mostly it strike at back of my neck and on the right side of skull above the ear and front of head. any suggection!
