Our doctor took a brief look at my husbands hand and pressed on two fingers, then said it's arthritis. There has been no relief from this pain and just came on about three weeks ago. I'm wondering if the diagnosis is correct. Is this what rheumatoid arthritis is like?

I'm 4 months pregnant and I've had a headache for the past 3 days. The first day, it hurt so much when I would stand up that it was almost blinding. The pain has dimished, but it's constant. The entire top of my head aches. I've also heard a clicking sound it my head lately... strange I know. It's like the clicking sound when you use a computer mouse. There's usually about 1-4 clicks and then it goes away and comes back later. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday, but I really don't feel like I should go to the emergency room or anything because of this. Has this ever happened to anyone else before?

I'd say out of the seven days, atleast four of them I have a headache.

The headache lasts hours at an end, sometimes even all day and into the next morning.

The pain is always someplace different in my head. Sometimes it is right between my eyes, sometimes it is near my temples, sometimes it is near my hairline on my forehead. No matter where the headache circulates from, it is really annoying and has been going on for about a month now.

Just constant headaches that won't go away. I've tried sleep, water, tylenol, headache medicines, etc. I just want to know what might be causing these day to day headaches.

It might be stress.... I spent a whole year going to college full time with 19 credit hours while working two jobs. So I didn't get very good sleep that whole year. I quit one of those jobs about two months ago and school ended two months ago. So now I have a lot more free time on my hands and have time to sleep, but could that have to do with my headaches?

I've always had this discomfort since high school, not sure but i think I may have put too much strain on my lower back when doing seated hack squats but now, when I am bending over to get things when working or such like laundry, sometimes on occasions it will hurt to where it feels tender, and the pain is right next to my tailbone and it seems like I'm straining my lliac ridge above my hip bone, its the same place everytime. But today I was picking up clothes and sorting sutff out and I picked up one landry basket, then when I picked up the other basket, this pulling electrical shock sensation went through my lower back like my muscle just totally gave out, and I didnt just drop my basket, I dropped to my knees, it was almost like lower lower back muscles totally gave out....Anyone have suggestions what I can do? I'd really like to get stuff done around my place, but now I have to almost not bend over at all. Well a warm bath help? Or heated pad?

Last Tuesday I woke up and the middle knuckle on my right hand hurt really bad. It is now almost a week later and it hurts worse and two days ago it started to swell just a little around the knuckle. I can't pick up anything with a lot of weight because of the pain. If I rest my hand, it doesn't hurt. It hurts to even bend my middle finger. I don't remember doing anything to it. It is not black and blue. I can move it, but with pain. I am 30 and have no idea what is wrong. It hurts really bad if I press on the side of the knuckle. It hurts to even open the door. There are no bite marks from a bug. Anyone have anything like this happen to them.

hello,
my dad has had severe pain in his right hand, and he has been to the doctor and a physio therapist, he says it has aggravated it even more after the physio. he finds it hard to move his hands, and its got something to do with the nerves. he says the pain comes in waves, its fine and then all of a sudden the shooting pain comes. he is 43 years old, an airline pilot. the pain is unbearable, he cant sleep at nights, it has also affected his neck, but its not that bad, something becuase the nerves are connected or something. please help, he is pain, please can u tell me what i can do, a diagnose possibly, some remedie or even a reply.

thanks a lot

Hello, ive been suffering from constipation and lower back pain for about 6 months.
I think they are related. I don't know what to do!
IT hurts really bad. I had just seen my doctor 2 months ago, she said to drink prune juice with every meal. I do that and it doesn't work, I told my doctor that a week ago and she said to continue drinking prune juice.
I don't get it. It really doesn't work.The only way i go is with a laxative.And it still doesn't work fully. I'm tring not to take laxatives because i don't want to be addicted. I go like once every 6 or 7 days with a laxitive.
Can someone help me? I'm only 17 years old, I don't want to deal with lower back pain with constipation anymore?
Thanks
