Pain & Pain Management - March 2007

I have been working out a lot lately. My ribs are tender and are weird feeling. They don't hurt too much but sometimes it feels like they are going to pop out (on one side) and just have been kinda sore lately. Is this from working out more or something else? Thanks.

I am having KILLER backpains the past week.
I am 23 weeks pregnant, with a retroverted uterus (my uterus is tilted towards my spine instead of outwards).
What the pai feels like is a pinched nerve in my lower back, only on the left side. Sometimes my whole leg goes numb. It flares up more and more with each passing day. Usually happens when I bend or twist my torso, which is REALLY hard to avoid doing (I have a 5 year old son, a dog, etc). It feels like a pinching, twingey pain that shoots up my back and down my legs. Pain is almost in my left bum cheek, if that makes sense. I have an appointment with a chiropractor in 4 days, thank goodness. My dr prescribed me some painkillers and anti inflammatories until then, but I want something natural and easy to stop the pain... It's almost like I have to shuffle my feet because when I lift my left leg its excruciating pain... do you know exercises that would help me? I do pregnancy yoga most days but havent been able to because of the pain

My pinky and ring finger on my left hand is numb. So is the palm of my hand, but only the part that is below the numb fingers. It's been numb for about 20 minutes. Any idea what might be causing this? My wrist feels a little bit numb too.

I didn't do anything to it.

I've only just begun having migraine headaches, I started getting them when I was 16. At first they were pretty few and far between, but by the time I started my senior year of high school I was getting 3 or 4 a week. I've been seeing a neurologist since, he's the top in his field, I have no known external triggers, (i.e. food, sunlight, smells etc) and so far nothing has worked for the pain. (I've been on Imitrex, zomig, axert, darvocet, vicodin, midrin, demerol, dilaudid, talwin, hydrocodone/Norco, fioricette with codeine and oxycodone hydrochloride to date.) I'm on a prophylactic (Norvasc) but lately I've been having many a week again. Does anyone know what I should do next??

I have been having really bad adbomen pain in the lower right area (like by my appendix). I have gallbladder problems and i am having surgery to have it removed on March 29, i don't think it is related because this pain is a lot more sharp and lasts longer than gallbladder. I have been having it for about a day and half. I have a fever and I am feeling sick to my stomach. Any ideas of what this might be??
I am a 14 year old girl

My fiance has begun experiencing very painful migraines recently. It first began around this time last year, and subsided after a week or two when he began taking Imitrex. The migraines have now returned, and for about a week, he's been suffering in the early mornings with these awful migraines. He has a new batch of Imitrex, but now needs to take 2 capsules in order to dull the pain. It doesn't even eliminate it fully. I've heard taking Feverfew could help reduce migraines. Would it begin to kick in immediately? I've read that you have to take it daily for a few weeks before you can see a difference. Should I invest in some Feverfew for him or just hope the migraines suddenly disappear like they did last year? Thanks!
Any other tips to help ease the pain would be greatly appreciated!

I have been diagnosed with RSD by several doctors. However one doctor that is an RSD expert says he does not think I have RSD. He says he needs to do a couple more tests that I don't have the money for.

I was just wondering how do "over the counter" pain killers know where the pain is. I've taken some this morning for my back and I still have pain. But when I have headache they seem to work.

I have just bought a memoryfoam pillow for £15. It is shaped with an indent to support your neck - the reason I bought it is I suffer with nerve/muscular problems in my neck. I normally take medication for this but have had to stop the painkillers as I am pregnant. I tried lying on the pillow last night but it was hard and uncomfortable? Anyone had this same problem? Any other ideas I can try?

I've been having pain behind mye eyes or in my eyes (constant, worse as the day goes by), can't really put my finger on where it is. It feels like someone's poking my eyes from behind or someone's holding my optical nerve with a clamp. And there's a general soreness around my whole eye. Usually it doesn't affect any other areas but lately the pain's been causing me headaches and sometimes i get shooting pains behind my eyes that will cause pain in the head directly behind my ears, or to the top of my head or my neck. Ive been to an eye doctor who took my pressure and checked my eyes and said everything looked fine, he thought it might be related to sinus or neck problems (always have a stiff neck). Im currently almost done my dose of antibiotics (novamin?) and no problems in the xrays for my neck. Im just very frustrated and confused because no one seems to know what's wrong.
I also have bad teeth as 1 of my molars need root canal (no toothache), does anyone have a clue??

rehab is not an option so please don't suggest that. I love pain killers. I love how they make me feel. I used to be afraid of them. I don't do any drugs, I drink and lately lortab has become my best friend but I don't want to damage my liver

often my indecision (regarding anything) leads to a kind of inactiveness. sooner or later this inactiveness leads to numbness of the whole of my left side, that is, my left brain, eyes, ear, hand, abdomen, legs (all left only) feels like wanting to fall down or feeling like not the part of the body. Is any one having this problem? What did you do / are doing to overcome this?

I woke up this morning with this horrible pain between my shoulder blades (mostly near my spine). It hurts when I take a deep breath or swallow either food or drink. I dont have insurance so therefore I dont have a doctor to go to. Any idea of what this may be?
