Has anyone else had cramps due to MS? What meds work? My calves and shin muscles are affected. Thank you in advance for your anticipated reply!

Anyone got any home remedys that help with the pain of swollen tonsils?

My mom isn't being really sensitive about it, so I'm trying to ease the pain myself.

Any Ideas?

I had a root canal done on Friday & since then my jaw has been very tender & sore. My mouth is actually getting quite infected at this point because at night I have been grinding my teeth (and cheek: also taking out chunks of it). I know it all sounds grosse but I really need help with the matter.

I've rinsed with warm, salt water. I've been taking T3's, extra strength advil, and extra-strength aspirin (and also antibiotics) that the doctor prescribed.

I'm still swollen, hurting, and out of pills at this point.
Any ides?

I realize it could be as simple as gas pain, but when I have that, its usually more in the central area of my stomach, and not concentrated just on one side or the other. I know if it gets real bad I am smart enough to go to the ER, but until then, I'm just curious what could be causes of it. Oh, and I am a woman, so I am entertaining the possibility of female problems. Oh and it is not that time of the month.

I have heard you can get a prescription online, but I have also heard how unsafe they are. I have been to several different doctors and all originally put me on Pain meds but they haven't been able to figure out what is causeing the pain and have eventually taken me off them causeing me to switch doctors over and over, now my insurance is flagging me saying there is no evidence that I need pain relief, my only response is to tell them I know my body and what I feel and I can barely function because of the pain but when I have used the pain meds I feel much better. I don't think this is fair, and don't need the hassels, If my pain can't be diagnosed I should at least have access to pain relief medicines. Is it really legal to obtain them online, if so where is a legitamate place to get them.

I've talked to several doctors about it. My doctor says to talk to my orthodontist because I had rubber bands on my braces, but my ortho just said "that has nothing to do with me." (And I'm sure that my braces/bands were where I got it)

My dentist passed it off like it was nothing and just told me to take Ibuprofen (this is not a solution!). My roommate had the surgery, but my physical therapist (for my knees. I'm a walking disaster at the age of 20!) says he has never heard of a surgery for TMJ problems.

My jaw is always "locked" (it won't open past a certain point). I haven't been able to chew straight or open my mouth straight in years, I have just learned to chew crooked like a cow chewing its cud. I have just learned to deal and push it out when it locks up. Sometimes it becomes very painful and sore. The only thing that has helped so far is the fact that I quit chewing gum.

What do I do now?

OK, this is WEIRD!
For maybe the last 3 days or so, I've had the most MAJOR pain in both my SHINS! It is so deep, I cannot tell if it's muscle or bone pain! I've had shin-splints before from running, but this is nothing like that. This came on all at once with no apparent cause.
Because of this pain (and because I'm currently unemployed!), I've been very inactive...I've HAD to be! I've been mostly in bed. But when I DO walk around in short intervals, the pain becomes SO SEVERE, it feels like I have BROKEN LEGS. (Just trying to describe the severity of the pain)
Now, I dunno if this is totally coincidental or what - but RIGHT BEFORE this started, I cut my Rt. foot badly. I've been "favoring" that leg since, as it's difficult/painful to walk because of my wound.
The severe muscle/bone pain I describe is definitely worse in my Rt. leg - but is DEFINITELY present in BOTH legs. (???)
I've used heat patches and also an analgesic muscle cream, but they've given NO relief.
Any help? Thx!

My father is suffering from arthritis he could hardly tolerate the pain. His doctor's management was to relieve him from pain by administering oral meds but unfortunately his liver and kidney are now mildly damaged. His legs are now swelling and he could not stand long and even walk. I would like to help my father by providing him external medicines like ointment/cream as not to add further damage to his liver and kidney. Is there any kind of external medicine that could probably be applied to my father's legs that is available in pharmacies? I need your help pls.

The only medication that helps is oxycontin 40mg. The doc sometimes gives them to me but not all the time. I do not abuse the meds, I take as needed. If that is the only thing that helps why does the doc not want to write the script? There is no surgery that can help the knee he states. If there is no other options, isnt there anyway to get the meds I need easier?
