Pain & Pain Management - April 2007

I used to take oral mezalazine as I have Ulcerative Colitis, but after I realised that they were the cause of my severe headaches I had to stop. At that time I had a bad back too and after stopping the mezalazines the back ache eventually cleared also.

After a year or so my doctor wanted me to try Pentasa Suppositories that have mezalazine in them. He said as they are inserted in the bowles where they will act directly on the inflamation I would not suffer from the usual side effects assosiated with the oral medicine..

However, since I began to use the suppositories, I have been having regular headaches again and what I have found to be most odd is that I have the bad back agai too.

Could the mezalazines really have been the cause of the back ache? And are they the reason I have headaches again?

During the winter, I was working outside in the cold at night and I went into a booth at a parking lot with a space heater to get some sleep. When I woke up, my body felt stiff. I went home and fell asleep. When I got up to go back to work, I couldn't move. I was so scared because it felt like I was paralized. My neck wouldn't turn, my arms were so sore, and my thighs were very painful. I eventually was able to get up from my bed with the help of my friend who I called. I was really scared something happened to me. I couldn't afford a doctor's visit so I tried to ride it out. After about a week, I felt the same. Everyday i would take a hot bath and just wrap myself in a few blankets to stay as warm as I can be.

Eventually it passes. it took almost two weeks to not feel any pain or stiffness. Has this happened to you before? If so, what did you do?

I have been getting a very sharp pain in my upper right chest area. This pain travels from the bottom of the breast area to the collar bone, and sometimes to my shoulder blade, but is the worst right below where the shoulder meets the collar bone. The pain lasts for hours at a time and happens maybe every week and a half. What could this be?

With all the pain mangements that are available, Why does a person that has all the documentation and MRI,s are put through the 3rd degree when trying to obtain a doctor that will be able to write the medications they need. When all some people have to do is claim they were hurt in a wreck or at work and they have no problem getting what they think they need?

I have no idea what I am doing... but i do know that I have grwn a tolerance for perscription drugs. I am interested in this only for medical purposes but I dont want to get in any trouble. Does the risk out weigh the benefits? Can anyone tell me if I have stuff shipped to my home - what is the risk?

This involves the hand/wrist area where an IV was inserted . Should you have pain moving up the arm,swelling, soreness and tenderness all of which seem to be getting worse; and a lump or knot under the skin around the IV site? It's been a week since surgery. I'm concerned. Please all of you knowledgable people out there do you have any idea of what this is and what can be done about it? Please help!

I get a very loud deafening pounding in my left ear when I am in minor pain. I have had it happen before and I assumed everyone had this. I scratched my eye recently and everytime it started stinging when I blinked I would get that same odd pounding noise in my left ear. It's like someone is thumping my ear drum. I told my husband and he just looked at me flabbergasted. Maybe someone knows.

I have a soreness/pain in my lower stomach muscles when I laugh or cough.....it started yesterday, but has now spread to the muscles along my sides. They are tender to the touch and it hurts to get up out of the bed or a couch. I have been careful about what I am eating today. Mostly soup and toast.

Here are some details:

1) I have moved my bowels a lot more than usual over the past few days and am thinking I may be sore from this.

2) I have not excersized over the past few days so it's not from that.

3) I am trying to get pregnant and may possibly be about 2 weeks, (may or may not) but this feels extreme for that.

Any ideas????? Seem familiar to anybody???

It was a purple lolipop, and tasted like berries. It made all the pain from my migrane go away. You can only get from a prescription, and some pharmacies don't carry it. You could take up to 2 lolipops and sometimes it made me feel light as a feather. It started with the letter A (i believe), and my new doctor can't figure out what it was. My old doctor moved out of state so I can't get a hold of her. My migranes are getting out of control again and that was the only thing that would work besides going to the hospital and getting shots in my rear end, which I hate!

The pain started at about 8:30 PM today. I haven't done anything to my jaw, but whenever I try to eat, my left side hurts. It doesn't hurt when I open and close my mouth, but only when I open my mouth to eat. I can't chew at all. It doesn't look dislocated or anything, so why does it hurt and what can I do about it? Someone tell me before I put all my food into a blender!!

I am presuming it will be hard to find someone who uses these three as part of there medical regime. Thus far, in Three days, The Topamax, Has been Very Good, The Lyrica still has been Goods, the Ultram has been Good. All of these has been Good.
All of these Are Pain Management . I use Topical Items for Arthritis, early onset arthritis. As well as Hydro-Cortisone for problems with Tissue that is losing its elasticity, not good for a Guitarist, and general musician.
Anyways, I am hoping for any thoughts on Managing these medications since Whilst I am doing well, I am hoping someone else might read this who has had some similar experiences.
Thanks for your time
