To give chronic pain patients adequate treatmeant?They or at least a majority treat patients as just "junkies"looking for a fix..when it is most likely a legite chronic pain that causing this problem..SHAME ON THE DEA for scaring doctors into prescribing nothing more than NSAIDS for severe and chronic pain..Hopefully they will one day suffer the same fate and be on the outside of the glass looking in as sufferers across the US are doing now...DEA you make me sick!

Four days later I am having continuously worse pain each day. Dr. says that it is normal for it to get worse before getting better, but I am starting to get worried. The procedure in itself was hell-Dr. said she hit a nerve and I screamed...worse pain I have never felt in my life. Finally went to the emergency room Tuesday night, and they gave me a shot of dilaudid and put me on Percocet along with my Norco 10. They said it would just take a few days to get better. It's the strongest medicine that I have ever taken, and it is still not working on the pain. I've been off from work ever since, as the Dr. said that I have to stay down in order for the irritation to heal, which helps marginally, but as soon as I get up to even use the restroom I am in 10-level pain again. Has anyone ever had a problem like this? Or, does anyone have any advise as to what I should do next?

On Wednesday February 14th (yes Valentine's Day did not realize until I made the appointment) I am getting a lumbar Epidural injection. I was wondering if anyone has had any of these and if so could you please tell me about your experience with it. I have 2 bulging disks (L4 and L5) and a larger sway in my back plus my SI joint is out of alignment which is throwing my hip slightly out of socket. I am really nervous about this and am kinda scared. I have heard about the epidural headaches has anyone experienced those? Please anything will help. Thank you.

For the past 3 nights, I have had really sharp, almost cramp-type, pains on my lower right abdominal side...it comes and goes, but the past couple of nights, ive actually woken up and tossed and turned from the pain... i was wondering if this could be appendix related... ive never had any previous problem with my appendix, and to be honest, i dont know of any of the symptoms. does anyone know what else i would be feeling, symptom wise, for it to be a guarteneed appendix issue? im getting worried....


thank you! :)

I banged my thigh on the corner of a counter on Tuesday. I didn't think much of it until the next day when it started to hurt. By evening on Wednesday I was hurting even climbing the stairs. But now I realize that even though I am sore when sitting down the most painful thing is trying to get up after sitting or laying down for a while. If I walk lightly on it I can get around but squating or bending is out of the question.

I had a motorcycle accident 4 years ago (hit from behind and knocked off) and was left with a bad back, which was compounded by another rear shunt last May (and no, I don't have a target painted on my back, although it sometimes feels like it!). I have had physiotherapy and been told they can do nothing more, and that I'll just have to 'put up with it'. My doctor has prescribed Co-Codamol which is good but I need the full dose which sends me round the twist so I never take the full dose as I prefer to be sane for work! This obviously leaves me in pain still, although with the edge taken off by the painkillers. So, my question is this - does anyone have any advice on how to alleviate the pain to make it more bearable? All sensible suggestions sooo welcome!
