Pain & Pain Management - April 2007

For the past few days I have noticed four sore areas on my hand and foot. Although I can not see a bruise when I push on the areas they are sore. One is on the palm of my hand, the other two are located on different fingers on the palm side. One is located towards the top of the finger while the other is located at the base of the finger. The last spot is on the ball of my foot. Again, these are just tender spots which feel like bruises although they do not have any appearance associated with them. Although I frequently lift weights I do not have these sore areas on my other hand or other foot. Let me know if you have any suggestions as to what it might be. Thanks
Robert

Hello! I suspect that I have a hip labral tear. I am a 34 year-old female in moderately good health, but in bad physical shape (ie I don't get much exercise). No other health problems to speak of.

I recently moved to a house with steep stairs. About a week after the move, I began experiencing a "pop" or "click" in my left hip. I experience mild pain when the leg is at a 45 degree angle. I can walk on it, but there is always a slight discomfort.

I would like to avoid a doctor's visit by doing some at home physical therapy. Could anyone give me any advice or point me to some imformation that might be helpful?

My doctor just started me on Depakote (500mg once a day at night). I have read so many NEGATIVE things about this drug and I am a bit scared to tell you the truth. Another thing is that I am already on 6 Percocet 10-325's a day (sometimes more) for chronic pain. Does anyone know if these two interfere w/ each other. I know that I can take them together but it seems that the Depakote makes my percocet "less strong." Is anyone else out there on BOTH the medications?? Can anyone give me any info on Depakote and your experiences with it!? I am scared about the hair loss and weight gain!! I just started the Depakote yesterday and want to STOP taking it if I need to before I get too "dependant" on it. Any help would be extremely appreciated!! Thank you so much in advance!!

I have had a sore throat for several months.

I took penicilin a whilse back when one of my tonsils had a white blob on it.

The throat looks more dark red. I feel tired and neck pain radiates down to shoulder.

I saw a gp and he said blood test looks ok. Saw a ears eyes throat speacialist and he says it will take time to go away. Sometimes I get so phychologically affected that get stressed.

Not sure if there are any other consultants around i can see...

I have been diagnosed with a degenerative disc and the dr suggested an ESI (Epidural Steroid Injection). I was wondering if anyone has had one and what to expect with it. He said that he isn't going to knock me out just numb the area. After that what happens? Does the pain go away quick or does it take a while? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Btw By "Better I Mean Stronger. I'm Comparing Just Color. With The Understanding All Are 10/325mg. Each. I May Be Crazy, But It Seems Like The Yellow 1's Work Better. Being Generic Or Regular The Yello Just Seems Better. I've Never Been told That But It Seems Like It. I Bring The Never Been Told That To Let You Know It Wasn't Just In My Head Already. Hope I Made That Somewhat Understandable & Easy 2 Understand, but I'm Not So Sure I Did. If Not Sorry. Thanks 2 Anyone Who Puts Their 2Cents In

I have a 5 year old daughter. She is having severe burning and itching in her hands. Her triggers are the sun and hot weather. She doesn't have a rash or blisters. If she continues outside the pain will begin in her legs and feet. We are seeing a pediatric neurologist, and she has been tested for so many diseases. Everything is coming back normal or negative. We just had another Dr. appointment and more blood work. We are now looking for "rare diseases". I desperately need help. If you have ever heard of this, please let me know. This is our 3rd year of avoiding the sun, and the heat. We are just in need of a little direction.
Thank you

I had a Lymphoscintigraphy done today.
And I read somewhere that you can have a pain in your knee. Like, behind your knee cap.
And I had it done 12 hours ago, And I still have pain in my knee.
Is that bad?

After brain surgery for trigimenial neuraglia my husband started to have excruiating headaches. (7-10 on pain scale) that started right in the center line of his head and around the back of his head. Right when the headaches started is when he found out that he had gotten viral meningitis. He has seen every type of doctor (neuorlogists specializing in headaches, pain management doctors, and accupunturists) with no relief.
Taken lots of different medicines with no help what so ever. It has been almost two years since he has had these headaches. Any ideas?

My husband has been complaining of extreme pain when talking on the phone only. He describes it as a sharp pain that goes from his ear through his brain. This started with cell phone use and now it is with the use of any phone (cell or land line). Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

My right leg in disallignment of my right leg in my hip from birth. It hold's itself at a 45 degree angle, making my foot point to the right. After some years, it's put pressure on my left knee to bend to the left to the point that I must now live with alot of pain in the left leg. Pressure in the left knee, broken feeling in the foreleg down to middle of bone and swelling feeling in the ankle and jabbing pain. Let me tell you, its hurts but nothing to be seen on x-rays, all looks very healthy. I was told it was ciotic nerve trouble. When it rains, it's worse. Was put on gabapentin and seems to have no effect. Can anyone help I'm just 34 and feel like I'm 106.

I've been on subscription morphine & vicodin for
about 6 years (30mg morphine & 7.5mg vicodin).
6 morphine & 4 vicodin per day. I had serious pain
after a spinal fusion operation w/bone graft at VA
hospital. During the process, I had a nerve compressed as in a vice between a side plate &
a vertabrea, the pain was horrible & no way could I
go without takeing pain meds. I've tried to stop on
my own, but can't get past the withdrawls to find out
if I still have that much pain going on. The VA in
Reno doesn't have a rehab program & the one in
L.A. isn't set up for my type of problem. VA is all I
have, so I'm kind of hung-up.
