Pain & Pain Management - May 2007

I keep getting pains in the back and side of my head, this usually happens everyday. I have tried all sorts of approaches such as relaxation, and aromatherapy, and of course regular pain relieve medication but nothing seems to help. I know other possible ideas such as if there are any herbs I could take to relieve the pain?

why and how do people differ in tolerating pain, i usually exagerate my pain sensation involuntarily for example when i go to the dentist or any other painfull procedure almost always they say that i do not tolerate even mild pain so what should i do to "increase my pain threshold" i mean to be able to tolerate more pain?

I went to my doctor and she already told me to not eat after 7 p.m., to sit up after I eat, and to sit up in bed when I sleep. However, the pain is still really bad. I took Gas-X for bloating, and I've been taking my normal Acid Reflux meds. Any other suggestions for pain??? *I'm only 15, so no pain killer things or Asprin.

I recently received an epidural steroid injection in my back after years and years of agonizing pain. To my surprise, the pain disappeared. Unfortunatley, however, the pain is starting to resurface. In an earlier appointment, the surgeon mentioned that it would be possible to 'deaden' the nerves in that area so that the pain would be gone permanently. Has anyone heard of this? Would it even be possible?

I recently developed a sharp pain around my hip/buttocks and its more painful in the mornings. I get a sharp pain when I get out of bed in the morning and seems to be right where my hip would be and its extreme pain when I get into my car in the morning and sit down at my desk in a chair. It kind of feels like my hip needs cracked or something. By mid morning I don't notice the pain and maybe it's because I ignore it or maybe it's just that it's really bad in the mornings. I also have a numbing sensation on my skin around that area. It kind of feels like that area fell asleep.

I get a pain behind my eye. When i went t the octions they said my eye was fine and when i went to the doctors they said that it might just be to do with a pain in my jaw (i have hyper moblity of the joints). Now it continues to happen and the paracetimol they gave me to use has stopped working even knowing i am continueing takeing it. I thought it was a migrane but i never passed out my eye just goes really red.

Also while im questioning and dont waste anthour 5 points.
My bones click regualey, espceialy when it is cold. my body feels warm but i know im cold. its not hyper thurmea since im not deaed yet and can spend many hours in the cold. but my bones become stuff. and click seems to be the only thing which works.

My neck clicks regualy and the muscels are tight in my neck. The doctors said that my eye could be jue to my neck as that is where the musscles are but that dosent explain why my joints click regualy.

I am 17 years old, wighe 7 stone, 6'4" about.

The docs have prescribed HydroMorphone for pain relief only its not working well. It takes 8 mg to get some comfortableness then it wears off in less than 2 hours and leaves a headache with nausea and worse pain.

I know there are some great natural products out there but this neckupper back pain is a killer.
Its geting worse even with accupuncture, pt, and now meds. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO MAKE THIS BETTER.

Would apprecaite any truth you might have

She has a very addictive personality...BUT the fact that shes taking them every other day seems to keep me a little calm. Should I bother her or leave her alone? Its only a week, but still I dont want my sister ending up being A pill-head you know?
