Pain & Pain Management - September 2007

I woke up saturday feeling nausea and later developed a stomach pain on my left side. I only threw up after making myself because it was the only way i could find relief. These symptons lasted until Monday and slowly subsided over the next few days. On wednesday i developed a lower back pain which so far has lasted a couple of days. Any ideas about what was the matter with me?

I have a friend from high school that posted a bulletin on Myspace. He was taking a survey, and when asked the question "what's the worst thing you've ever done?" he replied that he "wouldn't lie...I do enjoy some over-the-counter drugs from Canada that are illegal in the US." What's he talking about? What kind of drugs is he talking about?

I have pain in my leg where I hit it on the ground. It is still bruised and knumb. The pain is sharp and almost like a burning feeling. Sometimes when it hurts you can see what appears to be a vien or something. I don't even think the doctors know. The M.R.I. shows good yet I still have these problems. Thet want me to go to Physical therapy. Any help would be greatlly appreciated. So far they have said; torn muscle, skin bruises, damaged nerves.

Hi all,

OK, heres my storey, Im only 23 and my right hip is in constant pain at all times, I need it to stop so I wanted to see if anyone knew of any not strong drug related way to treat it.

When I was 19 I had a bad car accident and fractured my hips in 3 places, I have been told there will be degenerative changes and it wont be good forever but I'm only 23 and I'm already in so much pain. The pain is in my right hip where it joins with the leg joint.

I currently am very active which I have been told not to change, im about 130pounds and im 169cm so I'm not overweight at all. I go to the chiropractor every 3 weeks (also have wiplash) and she plays around a little, I take glucosimine.
This all does nothing though.

Can anyone suggest what I can do to minamise the pain? Thanks for your help

I have a 1 1/2 mm kidney stone that the doctor said I can pass. So far he hasn't been very forthcoming about how much it's going to hurt. Has anyone out there been through this? I am female if that makes a difference. I am sure it's different for men and women.

I mean would a placebo do the trick for some people? I personally find that painkillers , no matter how strong , do not alleviate pain.

OK, In the grand scheme of things, this is not a major problem, but my "mouse finger" is starting to pop and hurt after even a few hours of computer work. I am a freelance health writer and actually do work on my computer besides contribute to Y/A...LOL. Has anyone encountered this problem, and how are you dealing with it? Any ergonomic changes you have found that help ease the symptoms. We never learned about "mouse arthritis" in nurses' training.

I have 2 degenerated discs in my neck causing chronic pain. I am 28 years old. I have been to multiple doctors and neurosurgeons. My doctor says the 2 bad discs need removed and that 2 new ones need fused in. Sounds pretty scary. He says ther is a 65% chance it will make me feel better. Has anyone had this done or know anything about it? Please tell me about you or a friends experience. Thanks!

my bf and i had sex the other day, and i think he pushed in too deep bc i started bleeding. idk if that has anything to do with it, but later on, my stomach started to hurt . i didnt think anything of it, cause i always have stomach aches, and they'll go away. but the next morning, it started to hurt again. the pain increases and then it'll go away and then it'll come back again. i cant eat a full meal anymore. and its really bugging me cause i cant do anything without my stomach acting up. i tried pooping but nothing comes out. and whenever i gag to throw up or whatever, my stomach starts to feel better. i dont think the sex had anything to do with it, but it was unprotected. i dont know. i just wanna know what could be the cause of my stomach pains. any suggestions?

For the past week I have been feeling sick. At first I thought it was the flu because I was always nauseous and my stomach hurt. Then two days ago my right side started to hurt. It hurts under my ribs. It never goes away and last night I woke up hot and it hurt so bad I was crying. This morning only my stomach hurts on the left but my right side is still sore. I am in college so I want to know if I should call my mom and ask her to take me to a doctor or if this doesn't sound too serious. I am starting to get worried about it. During the afternoon I try to eat but it only gets me sicker and seeing eating even on tv is worse. Should I go to a doctor?

it seems as though someone is sticking a sharp needle into the soles and the toes too (middle and big toes especially). the phenomenon occurs mainly at night, but also during day, making walking a bit of a chore. I am 57 y.o., I don't smoke, I don't drink, I have a healthy diet and a walk/bike every day.

Sometimes I get nervous for no reason resulting in me getting a really bad stomach ache and then needing the toilet. I've finally found out it's not food, it's emotion that triggers it off however I find if I relax the pain will go. However, my stomach goes into a defense, worry kind of position which causes the pain to come back...

When im distracted and forget about the pain, it goes but its hard because the pain is strong, it's hard to forget.

What can I do?

Thanks alot in advance

Over that past few days I have noticed I have had a pain on the left side of my chest, near the top of my ribs. It is worse when Lying down or sitting and it comes and goes. The pain is not unbearable but it is certantly there.
I have been to the doctor recently because I have had abdominal pain and blood in stool. Should I tell him about this symptom too, or is it probably nothing to worry about,
Does pain in the chest point anything out??
Thanks
