Im not sick w/ a cold or anything. yesterday morning when i woke up i had a pain in my chest right in between my breast. It kinda makes my mid back sore too, like i have pressure on my back and have to crack it. My chest feels like some one hit me and it hurts sharply when i move a cerain way, cough, sneeze, yawn or even laugh. My syliva is kinda going thru the wrong tube and when i try not to choke on it i cant cough cause that pain starts. what could it be. some people are saying its just air but its kinda wierd. iv had it before but nver for two days!! i honestly dont have the money for my copay right now and dont want to got to the dr for them to tell me ill be fine a few days. What could it be??

When I try to roll over from sleeping on my back my eyes water from the pain. I'm fine after that until I lie on my back again for a long time then try to move again. Advil, ibuprofen, naprosyn, aleve.....none of that has helped. Not heating pads either. I slept on one all night. Any ideas?

For about a day now, the muscles in my upper leg [thigh, etc.] have been hurting when I walk or dance. It is that kind of good hurt, not really painful but just hurting. When I sit down it's fine, but then when I get up again, I have to walk strange until I get used to it again. Positive answers please? [I'm one of those people that if I hear something wrong with me could be a disease, I start feeling the side effects of that disease because I'm scared I might have it]

Whenever I lie down on my stomach after a long day of work, my back starts hurting. Eventually I get used to it, but is this something a chiropracter can fix? or is it something worse? I try to stand up and sit up straight, but my job requires a lot of bending. Is my back going out at 18?!?!

for 6 days now i always got pain or discomfort in my neeck or my upper back. whenever i do scapular squeezes or rase my arm up to reach something there is a lot of pain in my right upper back. No the pain is not from sleeping wrong or having a wrong pillow i seriously think theres a problem and it is not from working out or anything it just hurts. whenever i do scapular squeezes theres a pin in my right upper back and i can turn my neck left perfectly but sometimes when i turn my head right it hurts a little bit and whenever i do scapula squeezes the pain comes back and gets worse.. what do you guys think this is?

First I want to express my heartfelt thanks for all who are involved in this website (including members). It's been a lonely 3 years dealing with an illness that no one can see (other than the atrophy) andI've finally found your site. It's nice to know that I'mnot alone. nuff said:)

After three years of fighting the obvious I have finally come around to accept that I will likely have chronic pain in my left shoulder for the rest of my life. Boy, it's difficult for me to admit that. Anyhow, my pain specialist just switched me from Percocet 130 mg / day, to Methadone 5 mg 3x's a day. I've been hearing horror stories about Methadone, but I think I'm starting out very low. I've also been advised to consider the Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) implant as a means of pain control. Has anyone had success with the SCS used specifically for shoulder nerve damage (brachial neuropathy)?
My doctor said it's not usually used for this so he doesn;t have much historical data

I burst my left ear drum! =( The doctor wouldn't give me any pain killers, "we don't give narcotics here." Does anyone know what I could do to lessen the pain or make it stop hurting completely? All suggestions will be appreciated. Oh and I'm trying using a heating pad right now, but it's not helping much.

I have had Plantar Fasciatis in one foot for a few years now. I can only wear sneakers or a good support shoe. My doctor told me if I don't do the stretching exercises he recommened, my foot will never get better. He told me to buy Spenco orthodic supports for my shoes. Does wearing these type of shoe supports really help relieve the heel pain?

It seems everytime I get off of the tredmill both of my legs hurt really bad. It feels like spasms or something running through every part of my leg. I run about 15 minutes on the tred, and i don't stretch before or after I finish my workout. Could that be part of the problem? Thanks for all of your help.

No matter what, when I'm seated, my right shoulder and the whole right side of my back hurt unbelievably bad. It's like a hot, searing pain. Am I sitting wrong? Do I need a custom chair? My problem is that I can't carry a custom chair around with me everywhere. Is it my posture? I sit up pretty straight for the most part. Any suggestions would be great.

I was in a car accident (12/26/06 at no fault of mine) and was found to be injured two and a half weeks later. I have whiplash (X-rays show that, and neuro says strecthed neck muscles, muscle spasms, and inflamed occipital nerve casusing headaches, due to accident) and have been dealing with 7 weeks on constant headaches, neck/back pain, and nerve pain. Multiple pain meds and doctor's visits have failed. CT scan fine. I am seeing a chiropractor and neurologist. I start with physical therapy next week so I hope that works. I will be looking into a lawyer soon. I already notified my medical insurance to warn about lots of medical expenses & they had me contact their subrogation dept. Where they go after the third party insurance company for the money. Am I still entitled to see a lawyer? Is anyone familiar with this process? The pain has been horrible and has turned my life upside down. I am not looking to be rich by any means, but this isn't a quick fix and I could suffer for awhile.

I have had two cervical fusion surgeries and am now experiencing neck pain above the surgeries. I need to know what I can do to stop this pain or at least make it bearable. It is affecting my daily life, making my hands go numb, blurring my vision, and giving me headaches on par with migraines. I might be up for disc replacement surgery but I don't know if my insurance will pay for it or not.
