One week ago today, I had 4 wisdom teeth extracted. I was told to take 2 Advil every 4 hours, as needed. I was also given some Percocet (1-2 pills every 4-6 hours).

As someone who is always leary of taking meds, I tried to avoid the percocet as much as possible. For one week now, I have been taking about 12 Advils a day (2 every 4 hours) -- roughly (2400 mg). Whenever possible I have tried to take 1 Advil (instead of 2) and there were a few periods where I would go an extra hour or two when I could bear it. I have 2 Dry Sockets on both lowers, so it has been pretty rough.

I went and saw the dentist again this morning and told him I was concerned that I had been taking 12 Advil a day for a week straight, and he said it was ok, but I have doubts.

I'm going to cut back to 1 pill at a time (200mg) and see if I can bear the pain of these dry sockets. I may actually switch to taking more Percoset to offset the amount of advil I have been taking.

Thanks in advance,

Henry

It is a weird pain, sometimes it is tingly then there will be a sharp shooting pain and it sort of hurts to touch my skin there. It kept me awake last night. This just started yesterday afternoon.

I had a compressed disk in my spine when i was 14 (jumped off a high roof) and have had probs ever since - im 22 now. as a result i got a slight scoliosis and every now and then my back "flares up" the muscle next to my spine on left hand side gets incredibly sore and inflammed, i cant twist to the left.

my doctor prescribed me Naproxen 500 for the pain, but it does absolutely nothin except make me nausious (spelling)

My aunt sent my mom and I both a magnetic wrist band. She said it helps for arthritis, fybromyalgia, stress and fatigue. Has anyone used these before? Do they really work?

I had the surgery a year ago. Although the pain in my legs has gone away, it seems as if I still have the same amount of pain/stiffness in my back.

whatever jaw joint on your face is right next to your ear, thats what hurts (on the left side of my face) Also, whatever is hurting the bone/joint in my face, its pulling (or pushing, i cant quite tell) on what feels like my inner ear, making my ear hurt whenever I close my mouth after opening it really wide, or chewing something hard.

I had a ruptured ear drum back in Feb. 2005, but I dont think its that. So whats wrong with me? Should I go to the Dr.? What should I do.

For the past 2 weeks I have been dealing with severe abdominal distention( my normal 27 inch waist is 36 inches!!), off and on upper abdominal pain, bowel movements that go from loose to constipation like back to loose and just plain feeling unlike myself. I've had 8 major abdominal surgeries over the past 15 years and have had 2 bowel obstruction in the past year. I had a CT scan two weeks ago which showed no obstruction but some "tethering" around my colon. Yet I'm still experincing these symptoms two weeks later... My PC is going have me see a GI and thinks I should have a Colonoscopy. I'm wondering if this all could be caused by Adhesion's? Are adhesions visable on CT scans? Does anyone else have any ideas???

18 yr old daughter has had knee probs last 9 years. Was told it was oscarshlater (cant spell it) and it has gotten worse instead of better. She has bruises on them all the time,they swell up, She can't stand for long time, can't play sports, or even a day at the mall with friends and she is in serious pain. She soaks in hot tub 2-3 times a day to relieve pain, Dr ordered Physical therapy, she went for a month, at times in so much pain she missed school. My daughter never complains about anything, goes to school when she has cold, ect, hates to miss, Saw orthopedic specialist and he has ordered more PT,. She does have flat feet, we got insoles made to correct that, still no relief, any help out there?

I have had this headache on and off for the past 2 weeks. The pains shoot up from the back of my neck to the top of my head. Then it just sets there and throbs on the top of my head.
It hurts behind my eyes and makes it hard to focus..

Sometimes I can pull my hair where it is hurting and it will relieve some of the pressure.

I have taken Excedrin, tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tylenol 3 with codiene and other stuff... and nothing has really worked.. Do you recommend anything?

The part of my skull directly behind my ears, from the top of my ear to the bottom of my earlob, is very tender and sore?

It feels like there is a bone there, but why would the bone hurt so badly? It has been like this on and off for a couple of years, but just recently got worse.

I also have jaw and neck pain, and my ears get turn really red and feel really hot every once in a while. Why is this?
