Pain & Pain Management - June 2007

I have been awakened at night by severe rectal pain (lasting about 5 painful minutes) so I looked it up and found that it’s called Proctalgia fugax, a severe, episodic rectal pain that usually occurs at night, a muscle cramp in the wrong place at the wrong time, rectal spasms or just plain pain in the anus…
It could last a few seconds to a few minutes so most people do not even report it to their doctors.

Warm baths and massages seem to relieve it but I’d like to know if any one of you people found other true and tried methods to relieve that pain in the butt fast.

I am an 18 year old male, and I have had over the past two nights Ipain in the front region of my pelvis and a feeling of my bladder never empyting. It doesn't hurt to pee nor is there anything abnormal with it, I just feel pressure. I had surgery on my sinuses a week ago, and am currently taking antibiotics to prevent infection. However, I do not wake up when I fall asleep (its hard to fall asleep until like 4 am) to go to the bathroom nor do I feel the urge during the day. It's kind of freaking me out, should I call a doctor tommorow?

I've had pain and stiffness, tingling in my hands. Sometimes during the day and mostly at night and in the mornings. I have been told that it could be arthritis. Once I get going/moving I seem to be okay. I have just started to to take Glucosamine 1500 capsules. Is this safe? Any recommendations?

Ok, long story short, i'm dumb, forgot to wear a cup, got hit in the testicals with a Lacrosse ball. Went to the Doctors the next day, checked me everything is fine. I have a pain were my appendix is. I don't understand why? The Doctor did check it out and said i was fine. That was on Wednsday Morning. Its now Friday night and i still have pain in my appendix, just wondering how this could be connected? If you think it has been sum how brused, is it a bad idea to lift weights? Also there is no visible swelling or discoloration. Thanks for your help.

I have been to 3 different doctors and they don't listen to me. I know I am not crazy. For about a year now, I have had pains in my neck, back, knees, feet, chest and pelvis. I have had headaches and an anxiety attack. The pain is always in different areas mentioned above. One day my back hurts, another day my chest and so on. I have had an MRI done on my chest, knee, and abdomen area. All are fine. Bloodwork is fine. Sometimes, I get a burning sensation on my thighs or lower back. I feel like I am falling apart. I am only 30 years old. The only problem I have ever had is a mitral valve prolapse. Has anyone had these symptoms? Any ideas of what it could be?I just want to add I wake up at night at least 3 or 4 times and constantly tired.

Hi,
Has anyone out there had any Facet Injections of the cervical area? I have to have these done because I have two herniations in my neck, the C4-5 and C6-7. The Dr. wants to do these injections and a nerve root block and then later do a Rhizotomy because of the inflammation and irritation. Has anybody out there ever had any of these procedures done? I just don't know what to expect. You can read about it online but it's not like hearing from someone who has actually had it done. Thank you for any help......I'm very nervous about this. : (

when i was 12 i got diagnosed with migraine headaches they went away and i would have them occasional rather than everyday. im 19 now and for the past year i have been having headaches that can last up to two weeks at a time i have no sickness dizziness or anything like that. last year i had a miscarriage and for the pain was prescribed co-codamol . my headaches have come back i can have spells where i have no headaches for ages but other times i can have headaches that last all day long and for days after even weeks . sometimes it feels like my head is very tight and light headed and have a achy neck. so i started taking more and more co-codamol pills taking the max amount a day. i wouldnt have a headache but if i didnt take the pills for 1 day my headaches would come back . do you think my headaches are related to taking the co-codamol so much on the box it says that taking co-codamol for a long period of time can get you addicted aswell as making headaches worse . thanks 4 answers

I am in connecticut on vacation. I live in california and I know I need a root canal but it is going to cost a lot to fix it, plus xray costs and all. Is there something over the counter I can put on the tooth or gums to stop the pain? I have motrin 800 that I keep on using, but I won't be able to see my dentist til I get back, which is not until July 11th. Your help will be appreciated.

Well mom refuses to take me to the docter to get it checked out, so what do you think? I have hand tremers from time to time, I have a sudden head jerk sometimes kind of like that of a dog, ans now I have this uncomfortable pain in my right leg and around my knee that causes it to jerk a little if I don' t move it after a while. My knee also hurts after walking around for a while and sometimes when I drive. What could this be?
