I have been suffering from chronic neck pain for over 5 years now. It's on my upper right rear side of my neck, most likely C-1 or C-2. It hurst mostly when I use the muscles to support/turn my head.It doesn't hurt when I lay down or rest my head on something. I have been to many chiropractors, neurologists, neuro surgeon, tjm specialists, gp, accupuncture. Have tried amytriptoline, feldine, ibuprofen. I have had 2 mri's, a ct scan and x-rays and all show nothing, and doctors have found NOTHING! The meds and chiropractics did help for a while, but pain returnes. Positions that bother it are sitting at computer or a table like when bending forward eating, returning to a sanding position from bending down, sometimes turning my head, looking up, driving. I can located the area of pain by feeling it, rubbing it does feel good. I don't know what else to do or where else to turn. Any suggestions would be so much more appreciated than you would ever know!!!

I eat lunch at 11:00 every morning. If I don't eat anything until after 3:00 I get a terrible headache that doesn't go away until I sleep it off at night. Even if I do eat something, the headache doesn't get any better. I have tried Acetomenophin and Ibuprophen and neither provide any relief at all. I have talked to my doctor about this and he doesn't know what to do. What type of headache is this and what can I take to get rid of it? Serious answers only, please.

When acetaminophen was initially approved for over-the-counter sales, there were two leading brands right out of the box. Tylenol was one and it's the one that has lasted. What was the brand name of the other?

I have at least 2-3 severe migraines a week. Over the past 3-4 years they have continuously increased in frequency and severity. I have been on numerous combinations of medications to stop and prevent the pain with no relief. At my neurologist's request I have even tried Botox. I was hospitalized for 5 days in November with a Dihydroergotamine (DHE)(migraine med) and Reglan(antinausea med) IV hooked up to me. I'm tired of taking meds that don't work and I don't want to start taking pain meds on a regular basis just to get through the day. My quality of life is next to nothing. A few weeks ago I had a day where I woke up before 7am on my own, I felt great and was full of energy up until around 8pm when my migraine cam back with vengence. I have become so accustomed to feeling bad that I wasn't aware of how bad until I had that day. I want my life back. What other alternatives may be out there to help me?

For the past week or two I've had a really sharp pain in my left wrist. It doesn't hurt when I bend it forward...only when I bend it back and put pressure on it (like if I lean on it). It also hurts when I type occasionally. I haven't really noticed any numbness or anything and I'm almost positive that it's not an injury. Does anyone know what this could be?

I had my gallbladder taken out by laparscopy 2 years ago last month, I also had a c-section 3 weeks ago on Monday, I have been having some pain under my right breast and I was wandering if it could be scar tissue from my gallbladder surgery or gas pain and pressure from the other surgery, Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

when i run i have this severe pain in my ankle. i have been running around my neighborhood to train for the lacrosse season and each day the pain in my ankles gets worse. ive tried everything i can think of, i got new sneakers and checked which brand was the best with my numerous friends on the track team (they told me asics, so i got them) and ive tried streatching before i go for a jog. but nothing has helped and my ankle pain got so bad yesterday that i started crying. the pain isnt like "ive been running for a while and now my ankles are tired" its more like as soon as i speed up in walking or go up and down stairs i get this pain above the big bone on my inner ankle. its on both sides but sometimes one side feels worse the other. i dont think its sprained becuase its not swollen and its not red. it really only hurts when i run/walk up and down stairs/and squat at my locker (stupid bottom locker). i have to be able to run a 6:40 mile soon and i cant even finish one, please help

The other day, I noticed that my heel was hurting anytime that I put pressure on it which is a lot because my high school classes are far away from each other. Then I had a group physical therapy ACL thing and it was still bothering me even thought I took an Alieve....then after my dad was looking at my foot and checking it out and he felt a bump and said that it might be a ganglion...would that be plausible though? I thought that those only formed in hand and near joints and the pain on my heel isn't near my ankle. Is there anything else that it would be?

I worked out for the 1st time in 4 months and for the last 3 days
I have been in exruciating pain in my triceps. I can't even lift
my arms to comb my hair, eat food, etc. I take lipitor every night
for my cholesterol. Would this have any effect on the intensity
of my muscle pain or is it because I was just not used to working
out? Will this pain go away because it is very debilitating
