I don't know exactly what I need to do. Someone really close to me is addicted to pain meds. I've tried to tell him that there is a problem but he swears that he can stop if he wants to. He works out of town and can't do anything while he is gone. You'd think that he wouldn't want to do anything when he got home right? Almost the moment he gets home he is looking for stuff. I have asked repeatedly for him to stop and just quit, but he has yet to do so. I don't know what to do....

Last night I woke up with a lot of pain in my right ear. It wasn't too bad, I was able to go back to sleep and this morning, it doesn't hurt anymore, just feels a little funny. This senario has happened two other times in the past month or so. Also, there were a couple days when my ears started ringing for no apparent reason (I hadn't been to a loud concert or anything) and then stopped about a day later. I have never had an ear infection before so I don't know what it is like. People that I talked to about this said that an infection would hurt a lot more and there were be constant pain with plugged up ears. So I'm not sure if I should go to a doctor, I don't know if they would find anything wrong.

My mother had a aorta byfib by a doctor 7 years ago in her left leg. After it was done the doctor told her that it could never be done again. She is having the same symptoms, her leg is warm to the touch, toes a little dicolored. She is really scared, and she does not have any insurance. We were wondering if there is a new procedure that can be out there.

I'm 33 and self employed. About 2 years ago I began having a slight pain down my left leg. A year later a MRI showed that I have degeneration in levels L2 to S1, the worst being L5/S1. Now in the 2nd year I have terrible pain in my left leg and another level showing the same signs my leg did just two years ago L2/L3. I know what to expect, but am scared of what is to come.

I used to be very competitive in triatholons, soccer, etc and now a walk to the mailbox w/o meds is a challenge. It is hard to give up old habits.

With 4 children I have to support, I am in a real pickle. I am real careful with pain meds, I try to go 1-2 days a week w/o them to keep my body from building a large tolerance. The opiates seem to work best, but even with them I have considerable pain.

Not sure where to go. I've seen doctors and everyone has a different opinion. Any suggestions?

I got a cramp in my calf, and two in my foot while swimming. Is this because of dehydration, not enough magnesium, iron, laziness,....? Everyone says something different. I get cramps a lot usually when I wake and stretch or swim.

My husband gets terrible migraines about once every 2-3 weeks. He always has chronic vomiting with these episodes. He may vomit (or try to) at least 5 times or so. It usually lasts about a day. He will stay in a dark bedroom with the covers pulled over his head. I feel so bad for him. We have tried using 5HTP, CoQ10, Magnesium, Vitamin E. I don't know what to do for him. He is so miserable. Please Help if you can. Thanks.

I was hit by a speeding car when I was 14, now, almost 8 years on I am still feeling the effects. At the time, by back took quite a heavy knock, with muscles in my neck being heavily damaged, which the doctors told me could of caused my neck to be pulled more on one side than the other. Ever since, I have had severe pains all the way down my back, particularly just where my low back meets my pelvis, and my neck. I have been to chiropractors, tried electro-therepy to stimulate the muscles, and at the advice of one doctor even massage. None of this helps, and now I have an office job which involves sitting infront of a computer for 80% of the day, so my discomfort is made worse, however I do believe I sit with a good posture.
I refuse to take pain killers, and just want any advice on anything else that somebody could suggest... magic ideas? Fairy dust? Anything...

I've had a headache every minute of every day for just over 10 yrs. It never goes away, I wake up with it and go to bed with it. In this period I've had loads of scans, x-rays, lumbar puncture, blood tests, allergy tests, had wisdom teeth removed, had my sinus cleaned out, seen a dental specialist about my teeth possibly grinding and tried wearing a mouth guard at night, tried massage, accupuncture, accupressure, magnets, chinese herbs, saw a Chiropractor and a Osteopath. I have depression as a result and take 200mg of slow release Tramil twice a day for pain controll which barely does the job. I use to take Panadeine Forte but long term usage saw me taking up to 18 a day. It peaked in 2004 and I was suicidal & spent 2 weeks in hospital. The pain is at the back of the head and neck and all the experts in their various fields can see nothing wrong with me. I don't smoke or drink & tried going off anything with caffeine with no results. Can anyone offer anything new?
