Pain & Pain Management - July 2007

More than a month or two. At first they were huge. Taking up alot of my neck though not noticeable unless you touch them. They used to hurt but the pain has gone away something. I told my mom and she said it might just be swollen throat. But I feel fine. What do you think it is?

I have a 5 year old, with 3 or 4 cavities in his mouth. He's crying, my head is hurting, I have no oral jel, or anything like that. Are there any home things I can possibly use to sooth the pain until we get to the dentist tomorrow?

For about a week and a half my wrist has been hurting pretty bad when i bend it forward or backward. It has done that before but it goes away and eventually comes back. Now i have a not on the top of my wrist that you can really only see when i bend my hand forward it doesnt hurt near as bad, but the knot hurts when i push on it. Also, the knot is pretty hard.
any ideas of what it could be?

I'm a teenager, and for the past month I've been having chest pains. It will only happen twice a week, if that much, and only for 2-3 minutes. When I breathe in, I feel a very sharp pain near my heart. For it to go away, I feel like something is moving in my chest, like if you've ever rubbed your elbow or knee on a hard surface and felt the cartiledge moving. Sometimes that happens on its own, but sometimes I have to breathe in really deeply (so it hurts a lot) for it to go away. Any ideas??

I had a procedure on 7-2-7007 and they had to insert an IV. It was a student nurse and she was trying to put it in at the top of my hand. I've had many IV's inserted before and I know how they feel. When she stuck me with the needle it hurt so badly. She didn't get it at first so she kept moving the needle around inside, the pain was horrific. Finally she gave up and another nurse put one in on the other hand. She put something down to stop the bleeding as my hand was covered with blood. My other hand that had the IV never hurt afterwards, but the hand she worked on hurts so much. It hurts worse everyday. The skin feels so tight and whenever I try to grip anything or bend my middle finger at all it burns worse than anything I've ever felt in my life. It feels like the muscle, ligament, an skin connected to my middle finger are being torn apart. The slightest movement of my finger or bending my wrist downwards burns to the point of immediate screaming and sobbing. Can anyone help me!

It seems like I've been getting bad headaches when I eat chocolate, which I love. It says that most people aren't allergic to chocolate. Caffeine doesn't bother me at all. I keep trying to figure out what is setting these headaches off and it seems that chocolate in the evening causes me to wake up with a bad headache. Anyone ever hear of this?

Living with Chronic Pain for nine years and I've had a hard time finding good doctors to help with my pain relief. Medication is always helpful. But then your looked upon as a drug seeker. Ive had two major spine surgeries with no relief. Just really makes life so much harder when you live with pain its always there. And it seems like it never ends.

I play volleyball and I've noticed lately that whenever we serve a lot or hit a lot it really starts to hurt. I only have five pound weights so maybe something using that; any exercises that have worked for you? Or.. whenever I take ibuprofen like a half hour before I go, I'm fine. Should I just do that?

First let me mention that my partner (this is her acct though) is a 11yr migraine sufferer. We came out of town to visit her mother. She started suffering a migraine & her meds were not working, so I took her to the ER. Now this is a small town. Not even 5000. The Dr. didn't even come into the hospital to check my partner but said he would give her such and such a medicine. I said no because it doesn't work for her. So we left the hospital with no availe, however she has gotten the proper treatment from this hospital in years past but they wouldn't give it to her this time. She hasn't been there in years. She gets relief from Nubain 10mg, Tordal 60mg, & Phenergan 50mg. Through trial and error this is what us and her family Dr. have found to work the best. The next closest hospital is 30min away. So when we got to her mothers, I called the ER back & complained some. The nurse suggested that I get ahold of her family Dr to call the ER. So I called the clinic &

Presciption-strength Aleve and other over-the-counter headache medication has had no effect. She's had an EEG, CAT scan, and MRI of the head, neck, and chest. All the blood work came back normal. Yet, her headaches continue on a daily basis and have become more and more frequent over the past three years. They start upon rising out of bed in the mornings. Sometimes they are in the front of her head, sometimes on both sides, sometimes on the back, sometimes pounding, and sometimes there is an intense pressure (squeezing) sensation. The family physician thought that the headaches were due to stress/depression and put her on Wellbrutin. The neurologist thought that the headaches were migrains and has put her on 50 mg of Topamax (4th week and no improvement). The rheumatologist thought that it was Lupus but has since ruled that out. She sees a chiropractor and physical therapist twice per week with no improvement. Anyone have any other suggestions? We are at our wits-end here!

I've had a pain in my ankle on the inside part of my leg for about a month now. I'm not sure what it is? It's not a constant pain, it just is like a jolt of pain every so often when I am walking, or maybe pushing something heavy at work. The pain is so great it almost brings me to my knees! I can be walking along, and BAM, a quick jolt of pain in my ankle! I've tried icing it at night, but that's not helping. Does anyone know what this is, and how can I get it to go away!

next week i'm getting surgery on my foot/ankle. they are taking out a bone and reconstructing my foot. I've never had surgery before and I'm really nervous. Has anyone had something similar done before? What are the doctors going to do before and after the surgery? this is such a stupid question, but i'm really nervous about the anesthetic(Sp) and everything.
thanks!:)
