Pain & Pain Management - May 2007

I just got shocked from my hairdryer and then a tiny ball of electricity bounced around my room before it disappeared. Now, I feel pain on my legs and I get these electrical feelings all around my body, like somebodies poking tons of needles around you and they itch.
Is this something I should worry about or is it going to go away?

PS: I got rid of the hairdryer.

I think the back of my foot (heel area, just below my achilles) is sharper than normal, because all of my shoes for my right foot wear down inside to the point of no cushion. It can be painful after a while. Are there Dr. Scholl type things I can use?

Its at my tail bone and over to the left about 5 inches. That is where it starts and there it is a constant sharp pain. Then if I stretch down to feet or sit for to long I feel it down my left leg. Also there is a ton of pressure. It feels like I need to pop my lower back constantly. I was told its a herniated disk L5S1 and its sitting on my sciatic nerve but now they say I need to have surgury to fix it. I am 24 and back surgury is so scarey to me. However its hurting bad now even as I type this...
Any of you had something similar to this and if so what did you do or have done to fix it.
OUUUUCHY lol

I have been fighting this back problem for years. I've tried pain meds , anti inflammatory meds, shots, the works! I exercise regularly, eat right, don't smoke, don't drinking...but can't seem to stop the pain.

Any suggestions as to alternative methods (stretches, diet, acupuncture, vitamins, ANYTHING) that could help?

Thanks for any and ALL suggestions

I have been diagnosed with cluster migraines. They did respond well to Imitrex for a while but I have had one for the past 3 weeks that keeps coming back. My doctor prescribed Medrol dosepack. I am into my second day out of six of this medicine and so far have no improvement in my headache. How long should it take for me to see any benefit from this?
Thank you for your help.

I have always worked out and yes, I have gotten sore before. But lately, I have been working out like crazy and my back - from mid spine to the base of my neck and subscapula and lats are VERY sore and when I stretch that area -- there is a popping sound - mostly around the scapula area. When I've gotten a massage once and she heard that, she said it was a knot of lactid acid or something -- could the same be true here? I also feel a slight cold coming on -- do you think it is related? I tried researching this to see if toxins were perhaps released or something...can someone please help me understand what is taking place in my body?

swelling it got so swelled you could leave a indent with your finger when you push on it, and i can't feel 2 of my toes and is very painful to walk. i've been checked to see if it was gout, it's not, i've had a MRI it didn't show any thing wrong with my foot, but there is alot of water around my ankle. It feels like someone is pinching my foot at all times. the more i,m on the foot the bigger it gets, sometimes i can't even wear my shoes, It hurts the foot to even wear socks the sock gets to tight after awhile.Does anyone have any idea what can be causing this?

i had a little scooter accident.
at first it just hurt cuz it was rly sore and i scraped it.
then it was just whatever. not to bad. but all of the sudden it burned like crazy and i was just walking around. but now about 25 minutes after the accident its a bruisish color all around that knobby point on the inside of my ankle and its swelling a little bit. it burns when i walk on it and every once in a while it just starts burning. i told my mom and she was like "oh if u dont have attention 24/7 ur not happy. ur fine. go away" so im not goin to the doctor. but its starting to hurt a little more. its not like excuriciating pain where i cant walk but yea. it LOOKS (around some parts) like a bursted blood vessel and i dont know if the burning is coming from the scrape or what but it feels like a pull from the bottom of my foot. anywayz i have a track meet 2mrw and its rly important to me so i would much rather not miss. i havent treated it at all so thanks!

Why does it happen? How can I shorten the period of pain? Will I cause damage if I continue to do heavy activity on it?
