Pain & Pain Management - May 2007

For a while now everytime I laugh uncontrollably, cry, scream, or stay in the hot I get these 5 second long pulsing/throbbing pains in the temple of my head. I can't explain it... all I know is that it hurts. I haven't been to the doctor but I have been reading up on brain tumors and things of that nature. I'm kinda scared... am I getting worked up for nothing? Please help!

I have had pain on my shoulder for about a year now and it sometimes hurts soooo much that i can't lift my arm up. Does anyone know what it might be or what I might do to help. I currently take IBUPROFIN 600 mlgms. That is what the Doctor gives me....but he never does anything else. Im tired of taking the drugs and don't want it to have a bad effect on me in the future. Any suggestions?

I was woken up the other night to searing pain. The muscles in my right leg were tightened and not relaxing. I rolled out of bed and lay on the floor for about a min till it went away. Do anyone know what the cause of this is and is there any danger to my health?

with other problems. I was then referred to the most wonderful pain management doctor. He has tried everything from 45 lsb's 1 rftc, lyrica, cymbalta, you name it. I just completed a trial for a spine cord stimulator and it made me very nervous. The jury is still out on the scs. Anyone got any other ideas. Has anyone received disability? My employer sent me for a fitness for duty exam which was strictly psychological. I am to the point after 27 years at the same job I can retire however I do not want to jump the gun.

I recently read an article about seaweed wraps. It claimed that you lose inches, but it also eases the pain associated with arthritis. Has anyone ever tried this and if so, did it relieve the pain???

I am taking Tegretol for treatment of TN. The Tegretol works for the TN, but when I take I feel this great pressure inside my head. I feel like my head is going to explode. This pressure is not pain, but it is intense. Is this a common side effect, because sometimes I don't know which is worse. If I don't take the Tegretol, I need to take Tremmil and Toradol injections.
My doctor said there is a medication out, that not on the PBS health system yet. Does anyone know what this is? I have searched web sites and have found nothing. Please help!
I have prevously tried, massage, Reike, and Steroid injection into a trigger point without succuss.
Thanks to all who answer.

Im having a dull ache below my sternum. It just started a few days ago. Seems it hurts when I lay down (bc I sleep on my stomach) and also when I eat or drink anything. I cant tell if its coming from my sternum, muscles, or GI tract.... I've been reading on the Mayo Clinic site, but I couldnt find anything specifically embodying my symptoms.

The closest thing I found was Costochondritis. (Bc it feels more like a muscle ache than anything... It isnt a burning feeling, but more like a pressure that comes and goes every 5 minutes or so... and its been like this for a few days, so its not a heart attack.... plus its below my sternum (breast bone)... not in my chest cavity...

If you guys can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thx so much!

I thought I had tendontis, but not sure. I get stiffness and pins and needles in my fingers some nights while sleeping. Could this be RSI or carpal tunnel sydrome? I rest my arm quite a bit, but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?

How can I avoind getting a leg cramp while I am asleep?

I've gotten them in the past, i think 2 or 3 times. And they hurt like you cant imagine! I've been drinking lots of water, and drinking a powerade(for potasium) before going to bed. I haven't gotten one yet but i can feel feel it in my calves a slight tension if you will which feels like it could cramp at any moment.

I know I shouldn't be, but I am. I know that they don't hurt that bad but I always get myself all worked up and then I feel stupid. I have to go back in 2 months for another shot and I really want to stop getting so upset. Any help?

Both my big toes hurt occasionally. There are no ingrown toenails, they are not red or swollen, it's not arthritis pain (I know that kind) , I don't wear tight shoes and I don't play sports. I haven't kicked anything heavy and there no external signs of any kind but still sometimes both my big toes hurt like hell. Any idea what can cause this?
