for the past hour, a small area to the right side of my sternum and under my right 'mammary gland' has been aching. it's keeping me from sitting completely straight... it could be a really bad cramp, but it hurts really bad. and i usually don't get cramps or anything.

what should i do?
what's this "condition?"
is it normal?

sorry i can't be more specific. that's the best i can describe it, unless one of you ask a question, then i can try my best to answer in the 'additional details' section.

i think it's a pinched nerve, that's what my dad said and he was about 2 months away from getting a PhD in anatomy at Northwestern. it's when you stretch your arm after it happened and it hurts.

I was taking zoloft and now am taking Efexor. I have now stopped these because last night I had an extreme migraine including throwing up and getting hot and then icy cold. Has anyone else taken Efexor and had similar effects.

My doctor just put me on Lyrica for my fibromyalgia.... The problem is I don't have insurance and it cost me almost $400 a month. I was wondering if anyone else with fibromyalgia is on Lyrica and how it was working for them. If it works I will stay with it but if it doesn't then I will ask him to write me something else. Another problem is it takes at least a week to work. I want the pain to stop now! Please let me know. Thanks!

Mine do...
I get extremely sleepy... then if i don't go straight to sleep, I develop a slight headache. Then if I don't take anything for it, I'll wake up in the night or early morning and the headache has turned to a throbbing/pounding sensation.
Anybody else with symptoms like these?

I'm 25 years old and have a herniated disc in my L5. The doc is giving me a cortisone shot next monday and two days later i leave on vacation to mexico. Will this shot really help? What is the best cure for a herniated disc?I know some chiropractors claim they can help with their machines (spinal decompression and adjustments) but none of that stuff works? What is the best cure?
