Pain & Pain Management - April 2007

I constantly get migraines! I mean, every other day... & they make me feel so sick. Including, nausea, fatigue, etc. Can anyone give me any suggestions of what helps for their migraines - even if it's not medication!

Here's what I have tried: Laying in a dark room (my mom's remedy), Imitrex, Relpax, Midrin (all rx), regular Advil, cutting out caffeine (then I got migraines more often & 10x worse), cutting out alcohol (has helped slightly) - what else would you suggest? I can't take these! :'(

My wife and I are planning a vacation and one of her fantasy is to make love in water. We have tired it once and it didn’t really work out due to dryness issues. I heard Epson slat softens the water; is it safe to make love with Epson salt added to the water?

My son (5) cut the inside of his left ankle last evening on a peice of glass he stated that when he cut it he couldn't look down at it, or at anything for that matter because his head and neck hurt, and didn't know he cut it until he got inside and sat down right before the 4 hour trip to the ER and 8 stitches. Any ideas on why his head and neck would instantly hurt when he got injured?

I'm 22 years old and for the last week, every muscle in my body has been aching. I feel like an old man. I haven't been working out so the muscle aches are not from that. The most pronounced aches are in my neck, mid-back (shoulder blades), calves and hands. What on earth could be causing this?
I read up on muscle aches and it said that fibromyalgia can be the cause, and since I have trouble sleeping as well as depression/anxiety, I am slightly worried that this may be the case.. has anyone else had experience with this kind of thing? It's not terribly severe but especially in my back, it is definitely noticable and I think if it lingers for another day or two I'm going to need to see a Dr. about it because this has never happened to me before..some help, please?

Top of upper leg where it joins hip is extremely painful in the middle of the night to the point of waking me up. It radiates to a dull ache down my leg. Its not a pinched sciatic nerve. Any clues. Its not painful during the day.

Okay yesterday afternoon I was playing basketball outside in my backyard just shooting hoops when I was about to shoot and my ankle twitches or something and I go bending down to the ground with pain shooting thru my ankle.
Now last night I put ice on it and elevated it in bed but this morning it still hurt to walk on. It hurts to put weight on it when bending your leg at a angle like when walking. And when I walk I have to limp because it hurts when I walk on it. I mean I can stand and everything but it hurts to move it like when walking. And I feel warmth on it sometimes.
I have to go to school tommorow and I have a feild trip Thursday and gym Wednesday.
If it still hurts tommorow should my mom take me to the doctor?
And at school should I wear like :

I have a connective tissue disorder (Classical Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) which has made my knees hurt for years, but it's been getting worse lately. What happens is that it starts out as a sharp pain, but turns dull very quickly and then goes away for anywhere from a mnute to almost 24 hours.

Would depression be very likely to cause a sensation like that? I usually think of 'depression' pain as being either a dull ache or very sharp, not a rapid combination.....
