Pain & Pain Management - May 2007

My right knee rarely bothers me except right before I get my period. Does an increase in water retention cause this? If so, why is only my right knee affected?

OK last night i started getting a stomach ache, I thought maybe it was just from eating. I took some Tums and the pain kinda went away (but I'm not sure if i was just having the mentality because Tums usually work for me.) The pain came back and i took 2 more. It didn't stop, I went to bed with an ice pack and put it on my stomach, then my back started to hurt, I put it on my back and then my stomach urt again, I gave up on this I took some Motrin and went to sleep.now when i lift my right leg the side of my stomach feels like someone stabbed me. CAN THISS BE APENDOCITIS?!?!?!?! FOOD POISONING WHAT??? and FYI when I sit down the pain goes awayy

I have a rare disorder called amelogenesis imperfecta which causes my teeth to break off and is very painful. I donot have any insurance. My doctor has me on vicodin for the pain. I cannot afford to go to the doctors for a visit every time I need a refill as I have to pay full price for every visit. I cannot eat due to the pain, so therefore I can't go without pain meds. (Ibuprofen & other otc donot work I've tried) I was told to try online pharmacies as they donot require you to go to the doctors. Is this legal and is it legit. One site I was on quoted $85 for 120 pills, which is cheaper than when the doc prescribes them. If anyone knows anything about this I would greatly appreciate your imput.

I have been taking vicoden for 1 year now and I am getting so ammuned to it that it does not really even help I have asked my doctor to give me something stronger and he will not . My last x-rays showed another herniated disc as well as anterier arthrodesis and a nerve pushing on my spine. Since I have no health insurance its been very difficult to determine the amount of damage to my back only what the xrays have shown I am only 47 and I feel like I am pushing 80 because of the amount of pain I encounter every single day If the pain gets unbearable I am on the heating pad most of the day,This is no quality of life and I have tried to go to a pain management doctor but they pretty much told me if I did not have insurance that it would cost me thousnds of dollars and they never called me back after I said that I still wanted an appointment. Nice world we live in.If you don't have health insureance doctors can just turn you away.

I was on a walk last Friday, swinging my hands, front to back, as I walked. About 10 minutes into my walk I felt my right arm getting heavy. I tried swinging my arms more to shake it off. After about 3-5 minutes the heaviness went away. I walked for about 30 min.
When I got home, I spent about 30 min cracking shelled peanuts with my hand.

A few hours later I felt a pain in my thumb area(palm side). The pain felt like it was starting to cramp. When I woke the next morning this thumb area was VERY sore. Cramping feeling. I could not grab anything or make a fist. I do have the start of arthritis in my hands my doctor has told me. I am 48 y/o female. My neighbor tells me it's just arthritis but I think it's more like a pinched nerve.

I made a doc appt for Wed., but this is killing me. I've done the ice pack but that only relieves it as long as I keep the ice on.
Anyone know any hand exercises I can do?

I was suffering from upper back pain and even neck pain since 2 weeks. I went to the physician and he referred to me Chiropractic coz he couldn't figure out the cause. After visiting Chiropractic, I discovered that my spine was little curved rather than being straight. I had not known this my whole life. I am now 25 years old. Because of the position of spine, I was told that the nerve was pinched and that is the cause for pain. So he started giving me impulses on the back and told that it would take 8 mths to make my spine straight and normal. I am really confused at this point because I wonder will I be completely okay after 8 mths or not. I have still the pain in my back and it gets worse with little physical activities. Did anyone have such problem ? Are Chiropractic really good in making the spine straight or I am in dilemma ? What would you suggest ? Should I go regular until 8 months and expect something good or its just waste of time and money. Thanks

I slept all night in a proper position. I woke up feeling fantastic and didn't do anything strenous. All of a sudden in the afternoon I started getting pain on one side of the neck. It travelled to the other side of the neck and developed into a stiff neck within one hour. This happened to me a month back as well. Any ideas why would this happen.
