I have a bulging disk in my lower back that compresses the S1 nerve root. Does anyone have a recommendation of exercises to strengthen that area and not cause further damage? ~Thanks

I've been having really bad pains for over a month now. I'm talking about a sore toe, what I'm pretty sure was a sprained pinky, a hang nail, two paper cuts, and worst of all, a really bad shooting pain that starts in my left ear...travels across my shoulder blades, up around my right ear, but not IN my right ear, then it goes down my right arm, up and down my thumb, middle finger and pinky, then jumps across my body to my left hand, where it REALLY hurts, then up my arm, down my chest to the navel, back up to my left nipple, where it actually feels kinda good for a second, then it gets weird! From the nip it jumps down to my left knee cap, over to my right big toe, up to my scrotum, where again, it feels kinda good, then it gets HORRIBLE as it shoots straight back to my left eye lid!! Has anybody else had this pain? I've tried EVERYTHING from advil, tylenol, bayer, ibuprofen, bananas, celery root, viagra, I mean EVERYTHING...so now I think I just need some oxycontin. Wish me luck!

I have been getting preassure in the top and left sides of my head. Each passing day, the preassure gets more and more intense. It is started to get VERY uncomfortable, and now I am starting to get strange preassure sensations in my ears (mostly left ear).

Are these sensations symptoms of something? I don't want this to turn into anything serious. The preassure has been getting gradually worse and worse with each day. What does this mean?

Thanks for all your answers!

For the past week now I have had constant tension from my neck up. It's mainly in my jaws and face. I'm just constantly tense and by the end of the day my muscles are killing me. Now, if I don't think about it or go to sleep all of the tension goes away. I think this is weird and need some advice on how to make this go away. Thanks

I have tendonitis in both forearms. Of course it acts up if I've been typing all day. But is it normal for both arms to act up at the same time? Once ina while it's my left more than my right, but sometimes both will scream at the same time. Please don't laugh at me but I saw an episode of House where the tendons in this guys arms tightened up and were painfl at the same time because of his heart. I always thought maybe it's my upper back possibly since one doctor said "I doubt both arms would react at the same time only". Anyway, any opinions would be apppreciated (and yes, I will see my doctor).

I am having chest pain that has moved from one side to the other. I am going to explain exactly to the best of my ability . I am 24 years of age, and I am a smoker ontop of everything. I was sitting in my chair and leaned back in it cause I have terrible posture, and I started to feel a chest pain come about. I sat up cause I was trying to get rid of it and when I sat up it felt as if someone had stabbed me. I am now kinda dizzy headed, but I dont know if it is because I am about to have a panick attack or if this is something to really worry about. I am going to go with whatever you ppl tell me so come up with some kind of advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have pains on the lower right side of your stomach (where your appendix is) is there a bigger possibility of your period coming or your appendix? It hurts a little to bend my right leg all the way, and one day it was hurting really bad and the next three days it was mild pain so please let me know!
thanx

Hi,
My mum has a scar on her neck and it is very painful. She was in ICU unit after emergency surgery and a tube was inserted in her neck, it left a lumpy scar which left her in excruciating pain.
She had to go back into hosptial for another op and during the operation, the surgeon removed the scar and the scar was stitched. The stitches were eventually removed after 7 days. But as soon as she got home, the pain came back again???

Any ideas on what it could be???

I promised top points for best answer
