What do you think?

One sided headache with a throbbing pain that lasts about three days or more (the first being the most painful). A very localized pain that sometimes connects with the neck and eye. It gets worse with movement and efforts.

No nausea, no vomiting, no photophobia, no phonophobia.

I already went to the doc, an on duty doctor, he told me it's possibly a migraine. He said I should see my family doctor to keep track of it and have a more accurate diagnose. He told me that I might be asked to keep a diary about the headaches.

I am 16 and all day i have been experiencing very sharp pain in my left breast and underneath it, which is really scary and uncomfortable. As the day has progressed the sharp pain is constantly there and i have now developed pain and aching in my left shoulder, the top of my left arm and pain in the left side of my neck. I have experienced sharp palpatations in my chest before, but not as bad as today. Will someone please tell me if they have experienced anything like this, also if anyone is a doctor, could you please tell me what this is.Thanks

I applied sunscreen and everything but somehow it wasn't enough. Must have washed off in the water, even though it claimed to be waterproof AND I reapplied!!!

My back/shoulders/chest/face/arms are all sunburned.
It's really painful. And I'm scared because I know that I've just increased my chances of getting skin cancer.

I've done a black tea compress (soaking a towel in black tea and applying it to the area). Currently I am using an aloe vera gel spray called 'Sooth-a-caine', which seems to be relieving a bit of pain.

I'm hoping that by keeping the area moisturized, I will avoid peeling and the burn will just turn into a tan, taking the pain away as well?
True or am I completely wrong?

Can i take pain medications for the sunburn?

Any help will be very appreciated. I don't know much about sunburns, other than the fact that they are not nearly as harmless as most people choose to believe.


PLEASE HELP.

My right side hurts from just to the right of my belly button and curves around to my back to the right of my spine. I haven't done anything to irritate the muscle. I just got over having UTI when the pain started. It is a dull ache that turns into a sharp pain at times. If I press my side it hurts more. I thought it was a kidney problem and I've been drinking A LOT of water. When I use the restroom my urine is a bit cloudy and I don't go NEARLY as much as I should considering all the water I have consumed... The pain almost feels like a stitch you get after running a lot and the painful pressure you get if you have gas. I don't like the doctors so I try to avoid it as much as possible...but if someone could speculate what this is and if I really need to see someone for it.....that would be great....

I started a new job (this is my 4th week) that requires a lot of lifting and walking (warehouse) - I expected to be sore but not like this. My feet - the insides of my feet - and my back and my hands are the worst. I use bengay daily - soak everyday after work - I work 3, 12 hour shifts and have time to rest but even my first day or two it hurts to move. Is there anything else I can do to help???

Like most people are like "wow, im, hungry," Stomach growls, etc. And they go feel hungry. I dont get the growling, and what not, I just go right to this HUGE headache. Also after a while the back of my neck makes this "crackling" noise. That one is kinda hard to explane.

What would be better for your health and longevity?

This is roughly based on 40mg of pain killer or the equivalent narcotic per day or so.

OR

6 to 8 shots of 80proof alcohol. 10 at most.

If one precedes the other which alcohol is best or what pain killer is best.

Doctors answers vary so much, that I'm looking for personal experiences or hard facts.

I have been having pain on the right hand side of my abdomin, just below ribs at about waist lever, it lasts about 3 days then goes away again for a few weeks and returns. I have inflammation on my sacroliac joint (so the doctor says) and this gives me constant aches everyday acroos lower right hand side of my back. Are the pain in my back and side related, do i really have inflamation or can these be symptoms of something else like kidney or gallbladder?

Whenever my mom walk or stand, she feel a very sharp pain just slightly above the knee cap and the lower part of the leg (excluding the feet). She also suspect internal injuries, which she is not very clear of what the problem is. She had already feel the pain for 1 month, and sometimes she has to raise her leg on a table just to control the pain for a while. She had seek many doctors but none can cure her pain. Even medicines like glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate can't cure the pain too.

Is there a way to cure the pain without taking any medicine but others? Is there any place in Singapore that has good physicians or doctors (beside hospitals)?

I'm on the computer a lot, and I have really bad carpal tunnel in my right (dominant) wrist. For the most part, it's just really annoying and stiff sometimes, but when it flares up (like its doing now) it absolutely kills. I try and wear my brace when I remeber to, but a lot of the times I dont. And also, I have to take it off when I type or else I can't type very well.

Is there anything I can do to help the pain? I'm a teenager, so big expensive bills and surgerys aren't really an option. So anything cheap and easy is good. Thanks in advance!

Both of the perscriptions expired in 2002 and on the containters it is said to discard after 2002. Would it be safe to use this pain medication now, in 2007, due to a new injury to my neck or would it be unsafe to my health?
