Pain & Pain Management - August 2007

Severe immobilising cramp and numbness in left leg (from hip to ankle) always associated with constipation and/or trapped gas. GP's response is that the only known cause must be related to spinal /back problems - but online research suggests that infection of muscles surrounding the sciatic nerve can cause sciatic pain.

When I came home from cheerleading last night, I had an ache right around my ribcage and lungs. It hurt to breathe, and to lift myself up hurt especially bad. A girl had landed on me hard, so I thought it would go away overnight and decided to take a tylenol. But as I woke up this morning, I struggled to lift myself up to get out of bed because it still hurt. Should I go to the doctor, or what? thanks.

I have TMJ problems and recently I was trying to flex my face more than normal, this was about a month ago and now since that my lips hang open instead of closed - in fact it requires strain and is difficult to have them in a closed position. Is it possible that I altered my jaw somehow and if so how can I put it back to normal?

Currently taking gabapentin 100mg for neck/arm pain. Can Adderall XR 10mg be taken without any serious side effects? Plan on asking my doctor but wanted to hear other opinions...

There is no heart, liver or kidney disease but the swellings persist despite taking a durietic for over a month. There is a constant aching and paracetamol doesnt seem to take away the pain.

I really think I need my back popped back into place. When I look into the mirror while standing, my body's crooked. My right hip is higher than my left and it hurts extremely bad to walk.

I've always been skeptical about chiropractors because they're not doctors. They only go to school for 3 years and they're not allowed to prescribe medicine.

Has anyone been cracked at the chiropractor who can tell me if they really know what the hell they're doing? And if so, does it hurt? Because my back hurts to bad, if some chiropractor did something to make it hurt any worse, I'd either pass out from the pain, or kill the chiropractor

Over a period of time I was chocked by my husband and one day my throat got infected and I've had this problem before just from being sick, but I never got a neck abscess before this. Could this be the result of my husband choking me over a period of time that this happened. I wanted to know if he could have affected anything in my throat that could have made this happen.

I had a doctor who told me that our body accomodates to everything. Maybe I just need to work out till my lower back strengthens and keeps up with it. Maybe its sore cause its strenghtening? I never used to have that pain before tho, And I used to lift more weight than I do now. Or maybe I should take a break, if so like how long. Thanks

I am almost 18 now.
I have been having severe leg pain attacks since I was about 15 years old. The past couple of years it seems to have gotten more severe. Now days, I have the pain almost every night.
It occurs in the evening and the pain is in my thighs.
It's so excruciating I even cried today.
pain killers, ice, and heat do not help anymore.
There has to be something else really wrong.
I have not injured myself at all and I have no health problems. I am not over weight or underweight.
please, can anyone help me?

I have it in both of my thumbs, and somedays, its just so painful.
I have an urge to bandage it up really tight so it squeezes on them. But it doesnt really help.

Hey 2 days ago I started to feel very tired and worn out. I thought maybe it was the heat so i drank a lot of fluids. The next day I went down to my parents for my mother's bday and my grandfather was with us which he is a MD for about 50 years and still practicing at 84 years old. He checked my lungs and heart and said everything sounded fine and my blood pressure was very good. I dont know what this can be he said it may be from allergies or the fact that I live with my fiance in her parents place and the parents smoke all the time. I woke up today and I just feel terrible sore legs and my body is hot with a sore throat and even my face is hot its not a fever though I did not have one last night and it still doesnt feel like I do. someone shed some light
