I have tried several, but Vioxx and Celebrex were the only ones that worked. Now Vioxx is off the market, and Celebrex is under suspicion for the same heart problems. Is there are drug that actually works for the permanent form of bursitis and is non-narcotic? Thank you.

I take percocet for back pain, but I hate having small pupils that make me look like I'm a strung out junkie! Is there any way to prevent this?

It's mostly in the upper left leg around the middle . I haven't done any major exercising that would cause this. The twiching is in a rather small area and happens in rapid succesion, pause a bit, and returns. Any advice on how to stop it or if it's major enough to see a doctor?

Oh, and hey, maybe if you know a method to get rid of them, I'd appreciate that too!

Thanks.

I think I have a pulled muscle in the lower right quadrant of my stomach. It's not my appendix because it's not a constant pain, it'll come when I sit the wrong way or twist. What relieves it usually is laying on my stomach in bed for a few minutes. What can I do to have this go away so that I don't have to ever worry about it again? The pain can get intense at times. How can I mend this pulled muscle.....or is it a nerve? Answers are greatly appreciated.

guess this is more a vent then anything, but will explain the situation and ask if I handled this right(which I think I did). Thanking you in adavnace for your feedback.
A month ago I injured my knee, did some serious damage according o MRI(and feeling) and was referred to a Ortho Sur. in my area. I have had visits, the 1st resulting in PT for awhile. Great! Anything to avoid surgery! I was prescribed at the first appoint. pain meds., took them as the PHARMACIST said(which was every 12 hours or as PRN) so I did take 3 in 24 hrs(after waking in the middle of the night in pain every night)
So I was getting close to running out, it was last Friday I asked for something else for that coming MON. when I was going to be out. Told the staff would contact DR. & call me back..no call, so I went in after PT to inquire..and got humiliated by 2 staff members on the amount I had taken, and then told the DR. could prescrib. something else after they talk to him and call me. NO CALL 5 days later

Ok, so for a week now I've been having this throbbing ache in my left side that every now and then stabs. I've been to ER and they said they didn't think it was a kidney or spleen problem, for some reason did a chest x-ray and basically didn't come up with anything. It is on the left side just under the ribs. It hurts in the front all the way around the side to the back. I went to a regular doctor today and all he did was give me a muscle relaxer. I've had muscle pains and cramps before, and this doesn't feel like a muscle pain. If I'm not moving, then it's just a dull ache, but as soon as I move or stretch, it hurts. Anyone have any ideas or experienced anything similar??

My feet start to heat up as soon as I put shoes on, I have this burning sensation and my feet get tired really quickly, especially the upper part of my feet. Without my shoes on, I can walk for miles without feeling a flinch. A doctor gave me Mecobalamin capsules coz I may be Vit B12 deficient but that hasn’t worked for me. I am not diabetic, I do have flat feet but I have been running, playing tennis and soccer for ages and that never left me with any issues surrounding my flat feet. It’s the burning sensation in feet that has started around a year ago and only kicks in when I have shoes on ( any shoes – sports or leather) that is really irking me out…… Any recommendation will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Every single morning I wake up with severe neck pain and soreness. It radiates all the way from the base of my skull to my shoulders and on both sides. I have trouble turning my head to the left, right, up and down. I also have pain in the left side of my jaw every morning. My jaw sometimes clicks when I open it. I take up to 10 Ibuprofen to be able to function normally. What is this? How can I solve the problem?

Can you do both the same time?
Will you be able to walk immediately?
Or how long before you'll be able to walk?

Is there any way to see how much tramadol it takes to give the same pain relief of a 60mg oxycodone. I know these are two different types of meds, but i really do not want to take my oxycodone anymore due to the side affects, but due to my cronic pain i feel i will not get the same pain relief i would as on the oxycodone. If anyone knows how to find this out please let me know. I have heard somewhere that 20mg of hydrocodone is equal to 20mg of oxycodone. I did not know if this is true for tramadol or how to figure out this for tramadol to oxycodone. Thanks
