Pain & Pain Management - June 2007

I do not like taking nsaids. I have been doing well with the exercises the rehab center taught me, but I had been on bed rest for almost two months. I started exercising again and my knee had been acting up again. My elbow has also been flaring up worse than usual. Any suggestions would be great. My local herb shop recommended something called IFC or something, Is that any good?

What kind of sound do you make when you are in pain?
Ha, you were probably thinking of something else lol.
You can answer that too.

by asking question to people who really don't know? The only thing I can ever say is see a doctor. The only thing logical to say to me. I noticed that some people have some very serious symtoms, and some people are giving them some very dangerous advice. You can't tell somebody that is losing weight that they need more sleep. They could have cancer, be anemic or a number of serious other conditions. You may think you are helping by giving them an honest guess, but it could cost them their lives. People Go and see a doctor with your medical problems. Most of us do not qualify to answer your medical questions.

Yeah, I got Swimmer's Ear, and it REALLY hurts! How do I get rid of it? I want to go swimming really badly, but my mom said I can't get my ear wet. And I HATE it because everyone's like- " Why does it have cotton in it? What did u do?" (I put cotton in it so it wouldn't hurt as much.) PLEASE TELL ME HOW LONG I WILL HAVE IT!!!!!!



(plz?) Thanx!

I was being helped off the couch and my friend let go.
They put me on flexeril and it doesnt work.
The pain is better at some times and worse at others.
The pain gets to the point i cant stand and i get stuck in a bent over position.
I try to lay down and it doesnt help.
I cant sit for long periods of time.
My doctor i was at before i moved didnt even try to find out what it was they just gave me muscle relaxers and told me to take them.
My muscle relaxers dont work anymore.

For the last year and a half, I have had shooting pains in my back on a quite consistant basis. I've gotten used to them and can usually ignore them but in the last 3 weeks they have been getting worse and worse. Longer shooting, more painful.

I have SUCH a bad hang over. I've tried drinking lots of water but always throw it back up. I can't sleep it off either because my headache is killing me and the mere idea of food makes me sick.

What do i do?

I have 2 swollen glands on my neck, one I've had for a few years and now have another one that just popped up. They are sore & tender. I don't have any other symptoms (except for canker sores on the right side of my tongue). Any clue what this might be?

I've been taking paracetomols and ibuprofen every evening, I've moisturised with peppermint oil.I've rested and raise my feet.When I get up in the morning I hobble around

Every so often, my ankles and knees cramp up. This causes a lot of pain for me and sometimes it hurts to put weight on it. There is more pain in my ankles than my knees, though. Sometimes it happens to both ankles, and sometimes it is just one. Before I thought it might be just growing pains, but I am 15 and I haven't grown in awhile. Any suggestions?

I have a history of migraines that have always been very tracable to a severe yeast allergy. I don't eat yeast anymore, and every time I do, I get a migraine. I have the type with an aura, and my symptoms progress reliably through: blind spots and tunnel vision, numbing of the right hand and arm, right lips and cheek and sometimes tongue. The headache itself doesn't usually set in until about 4 hours after the start of all this. I have always taken Imitrex with success before the headache sets in.

Yesterday I had a migraine I cannot explain. I had eaten out for dinner the night before: steak tips and onions, garlic mashed potatos and steamed veggies. I ate the same thing as leftovers for lunch yesterday (no breakfast, just water and one ghirardelli square). About ten or fifteen minutes into eating lunch, the migraine started up with the vision spots.

I have no other symptoms, no head trauma, nothing has changed in my life, diet, etc. and I normally don't even get headaches. It is a constant dull pain from the minute I wake until I go to sleep. My vision also seems to be the same. I had an MRI done- anxiously waiting for results. Excedrin, Sudafed headache etc. don't work for me. Any ideas?

Can doctors really diagnose fibromyalgia or is this just a scapegoat term to keep fat lazy hypochondriacs out of their waiting rooms?

And if so will they prescribe sugar pill placebos or would they prescribe pills made from Nutrasweet?
