Pain & Pain Management - July 2007

I got a splinter under my nail today. The tip broke off, and I do not know how to get it out. You can see it through my nail, a dark wood sliver, about a quarter of a cm long. Is there any way to get it out?

About every 10 minutes I am feeling some strange pain that lasts about 1 second on the left side of my body, a little bit above the hip. Is something bad happening? I'm going to visit the doctor later on this week to see what's wrong but if anyone knows please answer.

I have been having stabbinng sensations behind my right eye in the temple for the last few minutes and they have come and gone only lasting for a few minutes. I am also having pains on the left side of my chest. What coud this be?

I have been having irregular sleeping patterns in the last few days, staying up late 3 - 4 a.m and waking up at 1:00 - 2:00 p.m just because I have chosen to. Could this be the cause? I'm only 15 years old and a male.

I have had a bad lower back for about 5 months now. I can't seem to shake it. It isn't unbearable but it is very uncomfortable and has prevented me from doing any type of weightlifting, such as squats without feeling extremely sore the next day.

When I push on the actual vertebrae it hurts right on top as if there were a layer that hurt right on top of it.

what possible repercussions are there and why is it not up to the patient to decide and the doctor to monitor? I believe narcotics can be very helpful and I wonder doctors don't write them more often. I think they just have a bad rap. People let the media and the christians and the anti drug people brainwash them and doctors are considered quacks if they just want to help people deal with their pain. TELL ME HOW OXYCONTIN IS WORSE THAN MARLBORO LIGHTS. TELL ME HOW MORPHINE IS WORSE THAN ALCHOHOL ADDICTION. TELL ME HOW LORTAB IS WORSE THAN MCDONALD'S BEEF? CHOOSE YOUR POISONS AMERICA. does this make me liberal? because i hate those *****. Honestly if you use common sense and you don't have an addictive personality they aren't that bad. What if you have a good diet? What if you disagree with your doctor? what if your doctor thinks that you look fine and jumps to conclusions but as soon as you leave you are the only one that has to deal with your pain. i have 24 characters lef

Ok, well, I am only 13. Starting about the beginning of the summer, I felt this sharp pain in my heart. However, it is developing on both sides. So, I am thinking it is my lungs, and not my heart. I am a very athletic girl. I weigh 104 lb's, am thin, tall, and do alot of sports like track, cross country, and basketball. When I breath VERY deeply, I get this pain in the area of my heart. But sometimes, it just hurt s a little bit on th right side of my chest. And once or twice this summer, when I was laying down on my back, I had this REALLY painful sharp pain that lasted for like 30 seconds. What could be wrong? Will I need to got o the doctor? I am very worried, and I don't want to die young.

It hurts to sit and stand. Sneezing and coughing are painful, especially while sitting. I didn't fall, lift anything heavy, or anthing else to cause it. I"ve been to a doctor and gotten accupuncture; its better but still hurts. Do you have any idea what might be wrong? (And what can help?)
