Pain & Pain Management - June 2007

I am going to be getting one soon, and was wondering if anyone knows about the procedure. I am interested in knowing things such as pain level after, pre-op procedure, do you need a catheter, recovery time, etc. thanks :)

A few weeks ago the back of my right knee started hurting, it was'nt bad, it was dull like I had done to much exercising and my hamstring was sore, but in the last few days it has moved around to the top of my knee cap and has gotten more sharp, it is not the whole knee cap, kinda in one spot about the size of a quarter, it only really hurts when I walk and worse when I walk up or down stairs, any ideas what it could be? I don't really want to go to the doctors unless it is something serious enough to pay a doctor bill for.

FYI. I am 33

I got a tooth yanked and the dentist said it was pretty bad and I would have alot of pain which I am. He prescribed me the Vicodin but I have some Ibuprofen from a previous surgery I just had about 2 months ago. The vicodin isn't helping a whole lot so I need something more.

i just had shoulder surgery and for some reason pain killers dont effect me much....morphine does absolutely nothing for me (i had gall bladder surgery last year and it didnt help), vicodin also does not help. my surgeon gave me oxycodone but that is not doing much either. I believe its a form of morphine, which would explain why it isnt working. Does anyone know of a pain killer that is not in the morphine or vicodin family that might be more effective?

My co-worker has a migraine. She cannot recall if she took her usual 2 advil this morning (within the past hour) or not.

Can she take one Advil now?

If she did take her advil this morning and took one now, that would total 3 advil.

If she did not take her advil this morning and took one now, that would total 1 advil.

Would 3 advil have any harmful effects or is that fine for her?

Last night I got HORRIBLE pains in the center/right of my chest . I have gotten these pains only 3 or 4 times over the past few years. It is always followed by late night eating (last night was an apple fritter). My question is.. is this just heart burn? How do you know if you have a gallblatter issue? I am assuming that if you have gallblatter problems that you would have pain everytime you ate "poorly". The few times it has happened has been in the middle of the night. I read up on the symptoms of gallblatter disease and I don't seem to have a lot of them. The pain does radiate under my right breast. BUT 2 Malox and 30 minutes later I am fine. Anyone have any input??? Thanks!

My dentist said that my wisdom teeth are impacted and may never develop. And I'm not feeling any pain at all. Do I still need to get them removed?

im 18 and was injured playing basketball. i was using crutches and got off them about a month ago from a ankle injury. My ankle has been sore lately and i went and had it checked. my doc said i had tissue damage(probably my fault...sum times went to parties and places and just hobbled or used one crutch). He saaid i would have to use a cane for 3 months to give my tissue rest to heal. i got a black one and had to go to walmart afterwards. i walked back to the dvd's with the cane and overheard a group of teens making fun of my "old man' cane. what i wanna know is did any teen guys here ever use a cane or is there a more teenish cane i could get thanks...

I started with a sore throat a couple of days ago, and yesterday it got far worse. It's so sore I can't sleep, and lastnight a got a fever, and I've been sweating and shivering all night. My hands hurt, my feet hurt, my kidneys hurt and most of all my neck and head hurt. I was sick at about 3am and have been feeling really nauseous every since.
Is this just a bug?
No rash.
