Pain & Pain Management - March 2007

does the er at hospitals have to give treatment even if you have no medical ins? or can they refuse, if they do have to treat you i guess you get stuck with a large bill you can never pay or do they refer you to some type of state help or whatever it is called-thanks oh i am talking of a private hospital so can they refuse to treat and send you to a state hosp. even if it is far away

I have a severe case of IBS. I have tried to work jobs before to to no avail. I either had to work through the pain for one day and miss the rest of the week or just quit because of the pain. I can barely leave the house... well the bathroom. Upon that I have poor circulation so I cannot stand for more than about an hour without pain in my feet.

For those who answered my question yesterday:

I'm sorry if I did not explain properly. SENS does indeed exist, but this is perhaps the term more known by people who have actually had the procedure done. It is also known as neuromodulation. These articles may help explain more:

for a few months now id say around october ive been having pains in my left hamstring area. i think its due to the uncomfortable chairs we have to sit in at college. you know the ones with the metal frame and the wooden seat and back covered by a thin layer of fabric. i went to see a chiropractor for a free consultation and he noticed my problem along with my tense muscles and said i should stretch it doing elevated toe reaches. an appointment was made with my regular doctor for the friday march 23rd after my 2nd semester ends. when i sit or get ready to stand it hurts. when i get in/out of my car it hurts. is it the type of chair thats causing this? also it doesnt hurt as much when i stand.

the question is... what is causing the pain? and how can i get rid of it?

I was standing and waiting for some food to cook when all of a sudden my lower back right in the middle, began to hurt really badly. I'm sitting down with my legs out on the reclining chair and I'm still in alot of pain. I wasn't really doing anything with my back, it just suddenly came onto me.

For the past several months I have been having pain in the middle of my back, mainly when I sit down in a chair and put pressure on the area right near the spine on the right side. Most of the time, I don't have any discomfort when standing up. The symptoms are sharp pain near the spine, general aching and even a little itching in that area as well as radiating around the right side of my back. It feels as if there is pressure on my spine when sitting, which obviously is not normal - I shouldn't feel anything.

I've been seeing a chiropractor and have been trying to do tragger point therapy on myself using the The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook and that has helped other tender spots on my back, but not the irritation on my spine when sitting. Anyone have any ideas or things I should bring up to my doctor?

The following statement was posted by someone:

If you have developed tendinitis in your wrist, it will never go away.

How far is this true?

I am still having pain for about 14 months.
