Pain & Pain Management - March 2007

There is a very painful twitch between the bone in my hand and the base of my thumb bone. The twitch is so strong it makes my entire thumb spasm. It's shoots back anf fourth and reminds me of the jerking movement of a second hand on a wall clock. It causes awful pain in my palm, around my thumb and into the center of my wrist. I don't remember injuring my hand or arm and would love ANY advice on what may be happening. Not sure if it's connected, but I have some pain in my left shoulder, but not nearly as bad as my thumb/wrist. Thanks for any help!!

I am 26 weeks pregnant and during the early weeks I began to suffer slight back pain, now it is progressively worse. I was diagnosed two months ago with "a touch of sciatica" since then I feel it is much worse. I walk for exercise, but now I I hobble, ( I walked 5 miles yesterday, I try to get 15 miles a week and I want to be in shape for labor ) I cannot stretch,enough , it hurts so much, a sharp pain in my lower lower back almost my bottom. What can I do? I rested today but there is no improvement in the pain. If I sit too much my feet and ankles swell and I hobble, if I exercise I hobble. (my OB warned me about deep vein thrombosis so I need to stay active) Please only helpful responses, I don't need to be welcomed into the "wonderful world of pregnancy" no sardonic responses please!

When i get up in the morning after drinking (alcohol) i have pains mostly in my legs and knees, they feel like the growing pains you get when you are young, and it happens every time. i told my mom about it, and she said that she gets the same thing after she drinks. the first time it happened i thought that i might have been alittle sore from dancing and being on the feet all night, but a few times after that i didn't do anything out of the ordinary while i was drinking. what causes this pain?

I had my daughter 7 months ago, and for the last couple months, of holding her in my arms, carrying her, and sleeping with her cuddled in my arms, I wake up in such pain and numbness. I have stopped and put her down alot but there are times I can't. It has gotten to the point, just picking anything up hurts and I have no strengh. Nothing works for relief. Is there something wrong with me?

i went to this site months ago but now i cant remember which one it was.. it is like a fan fiction or something but i think the editor made it.. it is like a screencap (a series of them like the scenes from the movie harry potter) and then there is a caption underneath which is funny.. these are several movie stills or pictures of the scenes according to their order in the movie with captions.. it is not the caption contest from mugglenet.com.. i've also searched mugglenet but i cant find it there though i think that is the site.. im not sure.. pls give me the link, not just the site if you know it..

thanks!!

The more narcotics I take the more my family freaks and thinks I'm going to die. I know better but I don't know how to ease their fears. I've been to 2 pain clinics both say keep doing what I'm doing and won't offer me anything more. They say a pain pump won't work for me. I need relief. Does anyone know of a pain clinic in Minn that works with the patient and not against? Also what is your diagnosis and dosages of narcotics and what are they? I know more than one ??????? thanks to all who answered my other questions. I have tried all that and know all that. I've been in pain since birth so I've tried and tried things. I do live in a small town but have an excellent doctor. I do take marinol and have tried the ssri's, methadone morphine duragesic codones and contins and prednisone which gave me osteoporosis. anyway I'm winded sorry

I didn't feel anything in football or wrestling when I had to run a he** of a lot more...I can even see veins on the right side of my left leg now!! I've never seen them before..I think. Anyways, why does it hurt so much now? Even if I rest for a little and then run like 100 feet I pretty much HAVE to stop...Should I ice it or something?

I had a disc removed (c-5/c-6) with bone graft and titanium plate from the front of my neck, 3 years ago. I still have much pain, tho it did cure (or improve) the numbness and tingling in arm and hand/fingers. I worse part is when I yawn or bend my head down too far...feels like something is catching or locking up. Then I feel terrible for one or two minutes, like I am going to faint and severe pain in my neck with spasms. Afterwards, my neck feels sore for days. Should I be alarmed???
