Pain & Pain Management - September 2007

My husband has been seeing neurologists for these symptoms (with varying diagnosis) but has also had a history or arthritis for years now. For the most part, he has lived with the pain (mostly because he had gotten off Celebrex as it is an NSAID and too many side effects). Could it be possible that it has gotten bad enough to cause these problems too?

I had my tonsils taken out 3 years ago and since then my throat feels worse and my glands are tighter. I can't sing or talk because it strains my throat or glands but I don't know. My glands feel as if I've been crying for a week, thats how tight they are. Will this go away? It's been 3 years now.... Plus it's harder to talk and my voice is completely different. Will this ever go back to normal??

I am also a a tennis pro, but the arthritis is getting to the point that even teaching is becoming difficult with swollen joints in my elbow in my playing arm, my ankle and in all of my metatarsals in my feet. I can no longer play tennis anything like I used to and lose matches to people I should easily beat.
I've tried Glucosamine, Omega 3, I exercise regularly and commute on my bicycle every day, but I am still in pain despite taking 12-16 hundred milligrams of ibuprophen every day.
AM I kidding myself in thinking that things will get better and I can persue my career path, or should I cut my losses and move on?

I get headaches everyday. They are triggered by the lights, noise and busyness of the cars and motion of people at the malls.
I get headaches from being in a cold room, I mean I might not be cold but the temperature change will give me a tension headache. Then that will give me a migraine, this happens daily.
I was wondering what this could be and does someone get headaches from being in cold environments? Even if they are wearing a jacket and two shirts. I mean I really have to dress warm. I also have a lot of joint and neck pain. Main joints are my knees and neck. I did have a couple of vertebres out. C1 and C3 from birth till a few years ago. I have gone to a rheumatologist and he said that I was just too uptight. Not arthritis, and this was without any x-rays. He would just take blood and more blood and say that nothing became of it.

He has pancreatitis, and has just had a flare up. It is better now, only a little pain. He is back to work now. But it's so strange, it FEELS just like when a baby moves. I can feel it, and see it. He says that he doesn't feel gassy at all, and is having regular bowel movements. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. He says it doesn't hurt, but is irritating...he asked if I had any idea how irritating it is...as the mother of 3, I do.

I'm a 19 year old female. I am a college student--- with NO Health Insurance. I am healty for the most part-- except I have the skin conditon known as PSORASIS. I would say that my skin condtion is moderate. For the past few months I have been suffering with pain the toe-joints of my right foot. The problem orginated in my left foot--mostly the heal. However, the past month the problem has been in the joints of my right toes. It occurs in one or two joints at a time, they become very swollen--and they pain is nearly unbareable. Sometimes... I find it very hard to walk. After talking to a few people,..I was told that I could have Gout (which is rare at my age) or some type of athritis. Can anyone help me?

She does not have a history of headaches. She has an appointment with her doctor on Thursday (first available). Motrin and Excedrin seem to dull the pain, but she describes it as sharp, stabbing, and just above her right ear.

Does this warrant a visit to the ER?

It's not a constant pain, more of a dull pain and only bothers me when I'm sitting or if I move a certain way. It feels like my ribs are pushing on something that pops back into place. I've had this problem in the past but it usually doesn't last more than a few days.

I was rear ended twice last year nad my back has never been the same. Over time I was able to work and do my normal day activities just being a little more careful. About two weeks ago it started to gradually come back and now its to the point where I cant get out of bed. My back brace hurts so I dont wear it. Any ideas? thank you!
