Can anyone tell me what symptoms are more common with people who suffer migraines with an aura, what part of the brain do people mostly feel pain. And can migraines make people vomit or have sharp pains down the spinal cord or when breathing?

Thanks

What could the problem be? One time, I went to bed when it was numb and woke up seven hours later and it was still numb so i'm pretty sure it's not that my shoes are too tight. Could it be related to my large bunions? I'm only seventeen.

My left knee gives out on me frequently and at random times...this causes a lot of pain. I take glucosamine and have tried numerous pain meds, physical therapy for 2 months after surgery, knee brace and a post-surgery cortizone shot less than 3 weeks ago. I had a knee scope with lateral release on my right knee in August and the left knee done in December. The right knee is doing ok while the left knee is giving me fits. I am also getting pain along my shin when trying to extend my knee.

The foot pain comes and go's every month or so. When i get it its hard to move my big toe and is really painful. What do u think it is?

2007-04-24 06:32:29 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous

in my ankles, especially the right one. The pain starts there and eventually radiates up my outer lower leg. I don't think it's shin splints b/c it's not in my shins, it starts in my ankles and burns very badly.

I am in my 40's. 4 years ago I had to endure a Total Knee Replacement. Several years ago I was hit by a car and it impacted my knee leading slowly but surely to the first TKR breaking apart. I have another TKR surgery scheduled for a new TKR next month. In the meantime, I am in so much pain I can't tolerate it. My DR understands this. We have ordered a walker. He is getting me in to operate ASAP. The problem: He prescribes pain pills becaue and I can't take anit-inflamatories (aleve,etc). When I was in his office a week and a half ago he prescribed me pain pills to be taken even 3 hours as needed. I did. I needed them. I'm not a pill popper, I am in good health. But I just had to take as prescribed and now I am out. The pain is intorlerable. The bone actually broke off inside my knee. Should I ask for another refill so soon or will he get mad? I don't know what to do without them and I have no more. He has been my DR for 5 years. Thanks.

As long as I can remember (4 and 5 years old even) Ive had neck pain. It happens when I go to bed at night. I toss and turn throughout the whole night, I move pillows all around, switch out pillows, nothing seems to help. My neck pain is constantly everynight. Its recently got worse. Now when my neck hurts it seems like the pain is also going down to the line of my shoulders to my back.
Ive never been in a severe car accident, never hurt myself for where my neck would hurt.
Do you know what it could be?
Could a Doctor make the pain go away?

I was diagnosed in 1992 with (SLE) Lupus. I had started to see a rhematologists , but all he did was prescribed different types of medications, some which were, serzone100mg, xanax 0.25mg, diclofenac sodium 75mg, donnatal, darvocet 100mg, elavil 25mg, plaquenil 200mg, naproxen, and tell me this should help, so I tried taking the medication and it would just make me sicker, so eventually in 2001 I , I finally started back seeing a rhematologist he prescribed, prednisone 10mg, Diclofenac 75mg, misoprostol 200mg, azathoprine 50mg, Imuran 50mg. Going back and forth to different doctors. I did not get any results. So I struggled with the pain all over skin, and under skin is so painful to touch. I strugle eververy day and I mean every day with deep throbbing pain in my left foot upper area near fold, it sends throbbing pain to my left lower leg , I struggle with severe muscle pain with any type of movement , my left leg is more painful, theres more to add on but I have to stop.

I have been taking codeine 30mg, for over 10 years due to the pain of 'endometriosis' and have suffered with the associated bowel problems because of this. I have only been able to cut down on the codeine when pregnant, ( my doctor warned against stopping completely, as withdrawal may cause miscarriage).
Lately, I have been suffering horrific bowel cramps, sickness and other horrible symptoms (which I won't go into on here!)
I have been for the 'magic-eye' for the bleeding and pain, (the endometriosis caused the bowel to become 'stuck' to the uterus, and was separated surgically) which was inconclusive, but needs further investigation.
I am afraid to tell the doctor how bad it has got as he may stop giving me the painkillers (yes, looks like I'm addicted).
In the past, the pain has been so bad, the doctors have come out to give me 'anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory injections with morphine'. Today, bad pain again.
I'm scared that I've caused irreversible damage, what can I do
