Pain & Pain Management - May 2007

I have been to the ENT and she tried to teach me to pop my ears b/c I have SERIOUS pain on planes and my left ear stays blocked for a good 2 days after getting off a plane. I even feel the pressure difference when going up even SLIGHT hills in the CAR! Does anyone have a way that works? I'm open to many methods as I have yet to find one that works for me. Thanks.

she had a appendicitis operation about 10 years ago. we dont know if it is related to this.
she took a tablet called myospa last time but only got momentary relief. The doctor says its a muscle strain. But she never does anything to sprain her muscle.
She gets this sever pain all of a sudden . But it subsides on its own.
We are confused . Plz tell us wt to do.

When I went to the hospital a couple of days ago, they had a hard time getting my veins to open up to put the IV in. The nurse tried to put it in my right hand and didn't get anything. But, today, it is really sore and it isn't bruised on the surface, but inside where the vein is. The spot on the left hand that she was able to use doesn't ache as much as the right one. I don't have a doctor that I can go to. Should I take this matter back to the hospital or what do I do?

So my laptop sits on a chair, and I sit on the ground to use my laptop. After using it for a couple hours, I started to feel pain near the top of my spine, and a little to the right. The pain almost feels like a burning or pinching sensation.
Why is this happening?
How can I prevent it from happening again in the future?
How can I make the pain go away?

I get a burning stomach mostly in the evenings. Sometimes it hurts so bad I double over. Then I have to Burp a lot. I also feel achy all over my back. I think it could happen sometimes when I am stressed. My chest and ribs hurt some too. Any home remedies or ideas?

Everytime I stand for a period of time (about 15 minutes or longer) the soles of my feet start to hurt, the longer I'm standing the more it hurts. When I'm up walking around it still hurts, but hurts less than when just standing. I can't stand or walk for more than about 30 minutes before it starts to hurt bad & I can not be on my feet more than an hour without having to sit down. If I sit down it will stop hurting but as soon as I stand up it hurts again. I'm usually on my feet about half of the day. My feet even hurt when just standing 20 minutes to take a shower. My guess is its probably arch problems, as I know everyone has a different arch & arch problems can pretty much be the same. Would this be my problem as well? Is there anything I can do to stop my feet from hurting for that I can actually stand up a while & be on my feet for hours, pain free? I am obese, however not SEVERE like some people. I weigh about 225 lbs and about 5'7", I am about 75 lbs overweight.

i started working in a truss plant. hammering all day. arm is very sore, calluses starting to form. i know u should give your muscles a rest between excersises, but this is a job. quitting or doing something else is not an option.

what can i do about my sore arm, while i continue to work? also, calluses are FORMING, meaning white, puffy blisters, that would pop when i continue working... what do to about that?

He has gone to the emergency room and had a CT scan, the results were normal, I took him to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist yesterday, they referred him to see a Neurologist today who scheduled him for an immediate MRI/MRA which was also done today. No stiff neck, no vomiting, some nausea. He sleeps all day and when he's not sleeping he's miserable. He was prescribed OXY IR (oxycodone) and told he possibly has viral meningitis. The problem is, he does not have any of the symptoms except the headache. No results back yet from the MRI. Has anyone else had a long-term headache and were you diagnosed with anything? Please help!!

For the past week and a half:

I have had fairly persistent headaches along my temples and sides of my head
The area around my nose and temples are tender, and I am some what congested, but not too too bad. Most mornings I do wake up to a mild soar throat
Pain relievers and decongestants haven't helped that much.
When I do physical activity, the headache and congestedness goes away, but I feel that there is pressure around my eyes. As soon as I stop doing physical activity, the pressure goes away, but my headache comes back, but very mild
My headache usually starts in the morning and intensifies late in the day while at work before subsiding

Anyway, I am 25 and healthy, I think. I am headed to the doctor in a couple of days, but I just wanted to see if other people have experienced this and if I should be concerned. I feel that I have sinuses along with a bad tension headache. Bad sinuses and headaches run in my family.

First off back in 2002 i was in the Marine Corps and i was diagnosed with a left femoral neck stress fracture involving 50% of the compressive side. elected not to do no surgery with 6 months on crutches and physical therapy. pain started in oct 2001 they said it was bursitus. pain didnt subside with anti-inflammatory and finally diagnosed with the stress fx. in march 2002 with an mri. two weeks ago all of a sudden for no reason my hip/femur felt like it was being pulled out and ready to snap. if im on it all day it hurts like that when i stop. but now i have a limp and pain radiates down my leg to my feet sometimes it aches and sometimes it feels numb. when i lay down to sleep i get this horrible numbing pain that i cant stop. this will last about 45 seconds every 10-15 mins. ct scan ruled out sciatica. and an mri eval at my hip and femoral neck ruled out the usual...stress fx,avn(which is what i thought it was)im 24 yrs old but dont feel like it. doc said pulled ligaments.

i have had numerous surgeries, including a spinal fusion in my neck. i have to take oxycodone for the pain. however there are obvious side effects that are undesirable. like no libido(my wife complains). sometimes i can handle the pain without the oxy. but, what i cant handle are the withdrawls. I have tried xanax but i still feel crummy. any ideas on what to do for the withdrawls i would greatly appreciate.

I have developed an earache in my right ear. It hurts pretty bad when I swallow or even open my mouth. There is also pain on the right side of my throat, I figured i had tonsillitis, but the doctor said they are only slightly enlarged (nothing out of the normal) and she doubts it is an infection (but took a CBC just in case). The pain is really bothering me. She said it seems like TMJ and that maybe so but the pain seems to have only started as of today. Could it be the tonsils or the adenoids? If so what is the course of action?
