Pain & Pain Management - March 2007

I have read many articles lately on the benefits of bananas. One is they are heartburn relievers. Problem is for me, when I eat one I am doubled over in pain with heartburn.

My dad has suffered with the above every day for 7 months now. He thinks its a torn ligament but I'm not sure. He had Trigenimnal Neuralgia for years when I was growing up could this be as a result, even though its 10 years since his last attack? I have read and heard about Neuropathic pain could it be this? How does he go about curing this?

The pain I am having is below bad ear, left side, into jaw, face and neck. 3 years now. I've shown swelling to doctors at VA, no real response, they think I am just a drug seeking patient. But the odor is bad, along with drainage. (they can't say I'm faking that) It took 2 years to convience them I was having headaches, I was accused of faking to get drugs, then they found tumor, told I could become paralized any moment. Still in files that I am drug seeking, have written many letters to get changed, to no avail. But that's the VA, if you need pain med, your just faking to get drugs. Everyone is treated that way. When they are proved wrong, won't admit mistake, won't prescribe badly needed drugs. So many of us Vets suffer, because DEA with no degree in Med or Pharm, tell doctors what thay can prescribe. We can get shot, but we can't get med for pain.

She's had shingles on her back which is why we think it has become sensitive to the pads for the TENS machine. She's in agony with back pain at the moment, is there anything anyone can suggest so that she can continue using the TENS machine? It was the only thing that helped her back pain before she started coming out in a rash with it. Thank you

A little over two weeks ago I pulled my calf muscle in my left leg and I was limping for about a week and a half. On friday I went bowling with some friends and my right knee started to hurt. At first I thought it was just the strain of my right leg having to do all the walking for the last week but then my left knee started to hurt too. I don't ahve time to see a doctor until Saturday night. Could this be related to my pulled muscle or is it something different. I'm 21 years old and very atheletic.

I'm sixteen years old and when I was sleeping last night and I went to roll over and I got a really sharp pain in my back/side area...Then when I went to sit up, I got another one in my stomach. It hurt really bad and I wasn't sure what to do, so I just went to sleep. Probably not the smartest thing to do but I was really tired.
I was just wondering if anybody could help me with what it could be, and if it's serious or not.

Yesterday I was playing basketball, and my friend accidentally elbowed me in the chest. As soon as that happened my chest started hurting and it hurt a little bit when I breathed, and it hurt terribly when I shot the basketball. Later I started feeling pain on the back area directly behind my chest. Right now my chest still hurts a little bit but hurts a lot when I sneeze. Does anybody know whats wrong or if its serious? Could anything be broken?

My 11 year old daughter suffers from painful menstrual cramps. This is the second time she has had to come home from school because of them. The doctor said that heavy menstruation is normal in younger girls, especially when they are in their first year. However, ibuprofen did not work last time, so I gave her two low dose aspirin. It helped with her cramping immediately.

I know Reye's Syndrome is a real danger to children, but how often does aspirin need to be administered before this occurs? I couldn't find any answers on the Internet - it just says children and aspirin don't mix.

I hate to see my child in pain, and I have tried everything else, from heating pads to teas, hydration, hot showers, ibuprofen and acetimetaphine.

I've been to my doctor about migraines before, but I don't have insurance and can't afford the medicine.

What are some good home rememdies for it?

I've tried lying in the dark, quiet, with a cool cloth over my eyes. I have now had this particular headache for four days.

Please help!
