I don't remember having these pains the first go around. The Incision is all healed up but my belly is so sore. It's been 4 weeks and I'm still in pain. It's like shooting pains. It reminds me of a series of shocks. Then on the right side i have this pain like it's a severe gas pain but I have no problems in that area. I really hope these pains go away. They get worse the more active I am. Does any one have any clue to what this is and is it going to go away?

Well please don't say go to the emergency room or to the doctor. He has been through all that. Got a shot to relax the muscles, pain medicine, etc etc. I am curious whether there is anything i can do for him at home. He has been struggling with back pain for years!! What would you recommend? Any professional help is strongly appreciated.
Thank you

I'm an amputee and like most amputees experience phantom pain. Usually they are mild and don't really bother, but sometimes I get a very weird feeling of spasm. It's like a hammer beating the nail and it does get really painful. They keep repeating very often (once every minute) .

I used some painkillers, but they do not seem to help :(
Is there something else I can use, at least to get rid of those painful hammering feelings.

Thanks a lot

i've started to run for 30 minutes in the morning, and 30 minutes in the evening, and i've been doing it for 2 days and my legs are sooooooooooooooo sore. it hurts so badly. i can't even walk without almost falling because of the pain. they don't hurt when i run though (weird)

but my question is, what can i do to ease the pain in my legs?
how long will it take for my legs to not be sore from running anymore, if i continue to run?
if i stop running, how long will it take for them to feel better?

thanks lots

I've suspected I have fibromyalgia for several years. I was officially diagnosed yesterday. I do not have health insurance and I have to go to a "reduced-fee clinic" and the doctor I saw didn't go into a lot of detail on how to live with this. He gave me a Rx for Tramadol for the pain. He told me to do stretches, keep my mental health in check, reduce stress, quit smoking, lose weight, and it might help to find a support group. That's about it. I'm having a pretty bad flare up and the Tramadol he gave me isn't doing much. If you have fibromyalgia, how do you deal with the pain? Is there/was there more that my doctor could have done? I'm really interested in hearing what other sufferers do to relieve their pain and tension.

I am a fullback in football, and yesterday during a scrimmage I nailed a nerve in my elbow which still hurts, my right groin is killing me and my left hamstring hurts badly.

I have taken many hot baths, stretched, and have Myroflex on it now. Practice is at 6:00 and its 2:40 now. Should I take aspirin? Should I put on more myroflex. It hurts to run and I don't wanna look bad today.

I'm getting my industrial pierced (barbell gauge 14 through the upper part of my cartilage and then going through the lower part of my cartilage). What numbing techniques do they typically use if any? How badly does it hurt? I've gotten my earlobes pierced, but the cartilage seems like it would hurt a lot more. Especially seeing as it would be a 14 gauge barbell going through 2 parts of it.

I have been having alot of trouble with going to the bathroom (2). I don't know how to explain it, its not incontenence because, i don't have accidents. Its just that I can't feel when it is there to go. There is never any pressure, or just the normal "knowing you have to go" feeling. I haven't been regular in years since I started pain meds, but this is a fairly new issue. My surgery was almost 2 yrs ago.
I did start taking Methadone about 5mos ago, for pain, would that have anything to do with it? I asked my pain doc about it and he just looked at me, obviously didn't know what to say.
HELP please.

last night at about 9.30 i had a sudden, severe crippling pain in my lower right abdomen, this was twinned with urine tract pains similar to cystitis. i felt dizzy and was vomiting on and off until 2 am. At this point the pain subsided and the vomiting ceased, 12 hours later i feel ok, only a little fragile. my question is, if the pain has gone does this cancel out an chance of it being appendicitis? any help appreciated.
