Another question from me.. okay I have like long lines of medical illness, I had asthma it disapeared, I have tourettes syndrome and a possible mild form of cerebal palsy and just when everything seems medicated and under control I'm getting these sharp pains on the right side of my chest. My hearts obviously on the left side of my chest, and I don't want to make a big deal out of nothing - I mean I practically live at the doctors so I don't want to mention it if it's not important. Two weeks ago I switched my medicine up to a higher dose, I have to see what its called, but it lowers my blood pressure and keeps down my ticks from my tourettes. Anayway the pains are right under my breasts, about near my ribs, on the left side of my body. Their like when your heart hits really hard but almost worse like getting quickly stabbed then healed. I had two yesterday and one today and each time I yelped or something when it happened.Today I had a dizzy spell but that's probably from my medicine

I am wondering if anyone who has suffered thru severe gallstones attacks can tell me if after it finally subsided (the worst pain part) did the following day you still have pain in the back and chest/abdomen but more of a dull achy type where you could till function as opposed to the severe pain where basically it keeps you from doing anything at all. thank you for your help i am not familiar with everything relted to the attaks yet.oh also i have read where you can take tylenol for the pain but no way would that even touch the pain i had-does anyone know what is prescribed for the pain by drs if anything?

Last week I kept getting sharp shooting pains in the left hand side of my chest. I was worried my heart was at risk because of stress but I now think it is due to a muscle strain.The past few days this pain has been there a lot more and is causing more trouble for me and doesnt seem to be going away. I can exercise still and have no dificulty breathing. I am also bunged up with a cold.Does anybody have any suggestions for me?

I have this pain deep inside my ear. I have had this for about 6 months now. It doesnt feel like an ear ache, when this first started happening I was told it was because I slept on my ear wrong, well I cant even lay on my ear now and it still hurts when I put any kind of pressure on my ear. I dont think its ear wax build up cause when I clean my ear there is nothing in there. This is getting frusterating especially cause its my right ear and thats the side I sleep on but I cant cause it hurts! Please help!

My hubby just came home from the hopital after having spinal fusion and x stops put in between his vertabrae. His morphine pump went in the middle of the night. I had to pick up a bunch of scripts. He has Lyrica ( a pain med for nerves) oxycontin and lortabs. The label says how many times a day to take them. I was thinking the oxycontin in the morning, the lortabs in between and an oxy at bedtime. The lyrica at noon and 6. He also has baby asprin and tylenol 500 to take. I need to space this out , or he will be a drooling idiot. The rest , antibiotics and celebrex i am not to worried about. Any suggestions?

I'm 32 - & @ 25 diagnosed with Endometriosis and 6 months ago diagnosed by several doctors with Fibromyalgia. 2 conditions that there is nothing I can do except deal with it, The Endo has no cure except the obvious is a hysterectomy and that's not even 100% that it will go away, and I'm to young to do that , Dr.'s say I have to wait till I'm 35 because I have no children. and the Fibromyalgia, another condition that has no cure, well because they don't know what causes the pain. So, because of this I'm in in a constant state of pain. I deal with it 90% of the time by just telling myself there is nothing I can do about it and move on, but there are days, MAN I hurt so bad I can hardly move, so I don't and become completely non productive, and the obvious depressed. My Dr put me on an anti-depressant it works for the most part with the depression but the pain is dulled but never gone. I have tried exercise doesn't help. So was wondering if anyone out there is dealing w/ this

What is the problem here? For the past month or longer my first finger on my right had hurts as if I had jammed it but it is not getting any better. It hurts mostly if my finger gets any firm presure put on it also when I try to open bottles and things of that sort. I do type, use a cp mouse and dial a phone all day at work. Is it possible that is this arthritis in my finger and if so what will help with the pain short of a shot in the finger? Thanks

Have fusions at C4 C5 and C5 C6. Had surgery 10 years ago ,anterior discectomy at C6C7but NO fusion. I now have virtually no disc space left at C6-C7, it is degenerated beneath all the hardware above it with much bone spurring, I takr oral valium, and morphine, as well as prozac and cymbalta. Still in considerable pain,occassional severe headaches, and very limited use of left arm,...it has no strength or muscle tone. I am having an electronic stimulator placed on a trial basis next week,. but I personally would prefer to just go straight to a morphine pump.Will try elec stim, but haven't heard of much success with it at cervical level. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I have been unable to work, off the past year, waiting for disability. But I have no quality of life like this, and as soon as my morphine wears off the pain is back with a vengeance, it takes control release morphine over an hour to kick in. Can do very limited sitting or walking at a time. HELP!!!!

I have had a dull pain or discomfort in the left side of my abdomen and in the left side of my groin for about 7 months now. I have had several blood and urine tests, an ultrasound on my abdomen and everything appears normal. The pain in my abdomen is basically straight left of my belly button and sometimes is felt from my belly button to the very edge of my body. Mainly it feels like there is something inside right at that spot. The discomfort in my groin is only on the left side. The discomfort is always there, sometimes moreso in the abdomen and sometimes moreso in the groin. The discomfort in the abdoment is stronger. I was on antibiotics for a week and the discomfort in the groin subsided slightly. I feel fine otherwise. I am very active and fit. At the time the pain started I was doing a lot of cycling and the doctor attributed it to irritation. I have not biked for months now, so that doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas? Please help, I am so tired of the discomfort.

I recently had a skin graft and the donor area they took it from is in the bending area of my upper thigh.....the staples that are there are very painful and when I stand or extend my leg all the way it feels like my skin is ripping.....they prescribed me hydrocodone but that works for maybe an hour and I have to wait 3 more before I can take another......I just want to know if there is anything more they can give me or are they just going to up the milligrams?
