Pain & Pain Management - March 2007

I'm looking for which air cervical traction collars that you wear around your neck so you can get up and do things and not have to be stuck in one place. I've seen the brown 3 layer collars and the blue 5 and 7 layer collars, both which you pump up with air. Any suggestions on which one works better or best, if either do? Thank you so much in advance for your time...

To relieve my back pain

I have to do some stretching and lying on the floor is relaxing as well.

Does this mean that massage will be effective for my back.

Or can the stretching exercise replace the massage

Thanks for any feedback

My doctor just prescribed Requip for my RLS...can anyone who has taken it tell me about the side effects you may have experienced? The sheet that came with the medication said some scary things like nausea, vomiting, fainting, sweating, falling asleep during daily activities (like driving the car). This frightens me....I don't know whether to take it or not. But the RLS is really bad...I cannot sleep because of it. I have actually gone 4 nights in a row without sleep because of it.

I am 20 years old, and my troubles started when I was just 17. I found when I was studying for the TEE my hands would swell (double their size)... my hands would curl up. I couldn't stand anyone touching them. From that point it was 2 years of occasional flares - which I could deal with, no problems.

The real trouble started 18 months ago. I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and am getting treatment with a TNF injection called Enbrel (Etanercept). I have to be honest, it has helped immensely.
The Lupus (SLE) and the Fibromyalgia (FMS) is more of a problem. I'm sick and sore every day. I'm so exhausted with battling myself I end up sleeping up to 22 hours a day. I'm struggling to maintain a healthy weight (I have lost 25kgs in 2 yrs). I feel like crying every day - I live with my parents and they have been supportive but they are getting sick of me feeling sorry for myself. I know how they feel, I'm sick of me too! It's so damn infuriating! I've hit rock botton, help???

I'm hoping there's a doctor in the house...lol...I've had a stiff, sore neck for over a month now. It's hard to sleep at night for the discomfort. When I have to turn my neck, I have to turn my whole body. I've tried cold packs, pain relievers, heat, you name it. Nothing seems to help. HELP!!!

After having an MRI, my doctor told me that my spinal column is shrinking. My symptoms are: a burning and tingling sensation in my neck and down my right arm,severe muscle wasting in both of these areas, sometimes when I turn my head I get a sharp pain in my neck, I can hear a grinding sound in my neck when I move it, my right arm will go numb during the day and sometimes when I wake up in the morning my entire scalp and both of my arms are completely numb from my shoulders to my hands. I'm forty two years old and was wanting to know if you have ever heard of this or anything like it ? Thanks.

I have a pain in my lower back and left leg. As I understand Sciatica hurts the back of the legs. My left leg hurts more than my back does but the pain is in the front of my leg above the knee and groin area. Can this be caused by the Sciatic nerve being injured or pinched?
