Each morning I wake up, my right hand/arm is numb. It usually takes about 15 minutes for the numbness to go away. It is beginning to freak me out!!!!!

I am a 38 year old mom of three - ages 11, 7, and 2. My husband is also a trucker who's gone alot leaving me to deal with ALL that goes on around here by myself! Some days are better than others - but by the end of the day my neck and shoulders hurt so bad I can barely stand it! I can feel the knots and sometimes getting rubbed (when he's home) helps but it's never very often that I get rubbed. My MD prescribed at my request Valium 5mg 2X's daily - but I'm finding myself taking more than that now! I have been taking 3-4 pills sometimes all at once (up to 20mg total) and can barely feel the relief anymore like I did the first month I started on them? I'm not addicted cause I don't need them every day - just need something REAL strong to help out when I DO need something. NO HEALTH INSURANCE doesn't help so I need affordable meds like the valium - they're cheap. I have a real high tolerance for pain meds - I know my body & I'm NOT a druggie - any suggestions for new meds?

i have a piercing headache on one side of my head.. specifically, near my left eye. My left jaw feels as though i had a needle through my gums. Usually i have a piercing headache on the left of my head because of my contacts (not quite sure) but even though my contacts didnt seem as though it was the problem because my eye wasnt red or anything. But what should i do/take? Its been happening for a few months.. my right side seems perfectly fine. Even my right eye can handle the contacts thought its just the left side and eye.

My dad had surgery yesterday and has been taking it with food like he is supposed to, but he still throws up every time he takes one. He has switched to only taking half of a pill and then another half later, but it's not helping. We have tried different kinds of food, but nothing is helping. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might help? Thanks!

I broke a toe and part of my foot on Monday. I have vicodin for the pain, but I had to come back to work today so I can't take it. What do people use for pain relief for broken bones while at work/driving a car, etc. I normally take Alleve for headaches. Any ideas?
