Pain & Pain Management - July 2007

I have this pain in my calf that I noticed when I was lying on the couch. The pain is originating from something that I think is a cyst (I may be wrong, but it seems to be coming from a lump inside my leg that I can feel when I touch). Is this something I should be concerned about like a clot? There is no visible swelling, warmth or color abnormality.

i have lower back pain with scyatic nerve, pinch nerves, sharp shooting pains. When i sit, stand, walk for a long period of time my lower back starts burning with inflamation. Example:it's like when your arm, foot, leg goes to sleep and u can hit as hard as u want and u can' t feel a thing.

Other than medication what else can i do to where i notice it gradually going away?

p.s i have been to chiropractor, used cold packs, backbrace, medication = naproxen/aleve, physical therapy excersises, trueback, that's about all i can think of right now. thank you

Instead they give me narcotic pain medication which I constantly take and that I don't like how it makes me feel except that it's a slight release from pain.

When I smoke marijuana and take percocet 10mg I am pain free for 1-3 days. When I take just one or the other seperate it helps for only a short amount of time if at all.

I have spent thousands upon thousands in tests to find out what this is and they can't figure it out. My testicle and sides (kidney regions) constantly feel like they are being crushed and twisted. It's the most horrible feeling and I can't live with it.

I've had severe chronic pain for 5 years gradually getting worse and worse. They say its not a fatal condition and that I'll live. But it is still killing me by making my life hell.

The doctor I have seen during this time says she will not recommend cannibis.

Other doctors won't give me anything. Not even the percocet. So what do I do?!

I have This rare type of kidney disease. My doctor keeps prescribing me anti-inflamitory drugs like Naproxen, ultram, etc. My nephrologist said I can only have pain medication w/ acetametaphine. The current doctor is not agreeing. I have been to physical therapy for 2 weeks. so of course I am still in the process of, and in much pain! For the first week, I had anexsia(hydrocodone). Then she said that it can be addictive, so she would not prescribe. I told her I am in pain but I am refusing medication that with ultimately destroy my kidney function. She won't prescribe anything but tramadol. I tried it, and it doesn't even work. So she suggested Acupuncture which my insurance will not cover. I hurt NOW HELP!

On friday I had my tooth pulled and my Dentist gave me a prescription for Vicodin. I couldn't get it filled at that time because I didn't have any money. My friend who was with me, because I couldn't drive after being sedated, said that I could use some of hers til I get mine in Monday. She gave me ten of hers, which I was very thankful for, because I was in a lot of pain later that day after the novacaine stopped working. Now my friend calls me last night and tells me I can't go the my pharmacy, because they don't sell the same brand as hers. Does it really matter what brand you get? Isn't all the same medication? She said she wanted "WATSON??" brand because they the best. Does anyone know about this. She has been using them for years because of major nerve damage in her back. Thanks for any help you can give me

It hurts badly enough that I feel like I'm about to cry. I just got finished eating pork & bean s& rice. Do you think my Claritin, congestion pills, or Iron sulfate have anything to do with this? I just started taking them today.

I have Carpal Tunnel and the only time it bothers me is when I am sleeping. I swear I am up 4 or 5 times a night. So I am just wondering if it is worth the money to buy the brace. Or if it does not matter.
