Pain & Pain Management - April 2007

iv'e had a chest pain since november. i went to the doctor and they told me i have a condition called costocondritis. he gave me meds and they didn't work. so i went back and got an xray and a ekg both were fine. so he told me to see a cardivovascular specialist. the pain is not that bad. it only hurts when i press on it or when i turn it feels tight. and i only on one side of my chest. the doctor told me that it was not my heart but that i should see a cardiovascular specalist. i really don't want to go, but has any had a problem like this or has had costochondrites?

My grandmother has severe arthritis in her left hand and is unable to go on certain medication because of blood pressure and other complications. I have found massaging her hands really helps her, but does anyone else have any home remedies that might help? I am going to put a deep heat cream with a glove on her before she goes to bed.

when he was about 8 yrs. old he use to wake up screaming in pain. My doctor said it was "growing pains." Now at 24 yrs.old he said he has the same type of pain but behind his knee. He can barely talk it is so painful. I thought he might be thinking back to when he was young and had growing pains and since it was so painful to him then, he now thinks the pain is very similar to when he was young. Does anyone think there is any relation, is it in his mind, is it real? Help.

for a couple months my left wrist has been hurting me off and on, and it was usually just if i put a lot of pressure on it. but for the past couple days it has been constantly hurting and almost any movement/pressure on it makes it worse. i do type quite a bit, and i play volleyball. i used to have a habit of leaning on that wrist a lot, too. the pain feels kind of in the center of my wrist, a little more towards the top. WHAT COULD IT BE??

Hi There,

Im 30 years old, I have been having gaut attack since i was 25. It has been 5 years now. i will get my gaut attack on and off. like 3 months ones. Ever since i had gaut, i stop eating foods which has high purine, yet i will get the attack..

Late, i had hip pain, when im sitting down i don't feel the pain. But when i get up to walk, i will have the pain, i can't stand, can't move..i have to stand for 10mins and then start to walk.

When for x-ray on my hip and the doctor said that i got Avascular Necrosis. I have taken all kind of pain killers but nothing helps me from the pain...Until i took colchicine around 8 pills one day. and i had nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. the next day i can walk without pain.

So, i went back to the Doctor and explained to him, but he said that gaut won't attack hip joint.

Can someone help with this, can uric acid attack hip joint?

Thank you.

I'm about 35 yrs old. Since 2 yrs ago I feel my neck so stiff and muscle sore on my back right below the shoulder. When I turn my head, I feel sore. It feels like the day after we do heavy exercise/lifting. It doesn't bothers me so much, but it will be better without the pain. What cause that?

My boyfriend is suffering a lot because he has hemorroids, and when he goes to the toilet he suffers a lot! He lives in an extreme weather that is very hot.

Please do not tell me surgery... he had surgery once. Do you know any natural remedies, products or secrets that could help him?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I changed from a 10 gauge to 8 gauge a few minutes ago and my ears are throbbing. It stung a bit when I put them in, if that makes a difference. I don't want them to swell or anything, so is it ok to take a Tylenol?
