My legs always seem to be in pain.

Walking is not so bad, unless I walk for a long time. Then, I have a great deal of pain.

Standing is one place is not comfortable and gets painful.

Any one else?

Would a shot of steroids or muscle relaxant help?

Why are so many people using pain meds to get high these days? And why are they so damn proud of it. I can't believe the way people answer on here about them. Most don't have a clue what they are talking about, but they sure think that they do and that scares me to death.
Addiction is so bad now that REAL patients with pain complain that when they go to the doctor the doc is afraid to prescribe it because they are being watched. It's nuts.
There was actually a girl on this site earlier that though it was okay that she has been on methadone for 6yrs to get off of Tramadol/Ultram. Whats it coming too? How could so many people need to numb their reality so much that they will resort to narcotics that cause a wealth of health problems in their futures.

I have sporadic pain on the sides of my finger tips. This never goes above the first joint from the nail but the pain is EXTREME. It is not seasonal but it does come and go. Some days its fine other days its horrible with no noticeable difference between the days. Pain is always on the sides, never on the top or bottom but when I touch/hit pain goes trough the finger and puts me on my knees. I have a high pain tollerance but this is more than I can take. Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. Both my MD and Joint Dr have no idea what it is and don't seem to care to much.

I went to the doctor's the yesterday and they said I am dialated to two and my cervix is 90% gone. I have been having back pain and pain under my right breast. It hurts and nothing seems too take it away. I have tried laying down on my side, a hot shower, tylenol, messages, and icy hot gel. I was wanting to know if there was any way to get rid of it.

Bad shoulders run in my family, but I think this issue also has something to do with my years as a waitress. Holding lots of weight straight up in the air put a lot of strain on my neck and shoulders. Now, every once in a while, I get what I assume is a pinched nerve. It feels like the issue might be in the base of my neck somewhere, but it affects my left shoulder terribly. Once the pain comes, it stays for days at a time. I can't sleep because no matter what position I'm in it seems to put pressure on my shoulder and makes the pain worse. I've been reduced to whining and whimpering to my husband about the pain at 4 in the morning... so sad. IBProufen seems to help a small amount. I've also got some response from ice packs. BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH. I need a miracle. Some sports cream or some herbal rememdy, maybe? I'm getting desperate ) :

It is like I am standing on the otuside rims of my feet. My outside toes (the pinky one and the one next to it) seem to get alot of my weight and balance. I notice my shoes somewhat bend that way as well. I am not bowl-legged, however. Is there a name for this or a way to even the pressure on my feet?

In case you don't know, there is this Funny Car driver named John Force. He was in a crash on September 23 with a dislocated wrist, compound fracture to the ankle, and several broken toes and fingers. He's been in the hospital for about 2 weeks and I always find myself thinking about what happened. And I get worried. I WANT TO KNOW WHY!

Sometimes I feel a pain that cuts through me like an arrow and then just goes away. it's not in any particilar body part, it can occur anywhere (ex: my back, my heart, my arm or even leg) What does it mean? And why does it occur?

For the last few days I've noticed an increase in my anxiety. I've been more jittery than ever. My blood pressure has slightly increased, its not high yet but in the upper normal range. Each morning I wake up and my stomach irritates me. It irritates me from time to time and settles down when i eat. Im not sure if its stress related or something worse. I am a hypochondriac so now i think i got diabetes or something else like a stomach ulcer. I havent been eating healthy lately but the last few days i tried to because of my stomach. Im hoping this is all stress cause ive been very stressed with school work and preparations for college. I am only 17 but i have bad anxiety and bad hypochondria. I currently see a doctor for anxiety but havent been to a physician lately and am trying to get to one within the next few weeks. My left leg also feels weird sometimes, it doesnt feel weak but a little different. Im mainly concerned about my stomach right now and is why i think i have diabetes

I have been having back and neck pains lately. Nothing that is bothering my majorly, but it is bothering me. I wear a prothesis, so I am sure that has something to do with it. No matter how many times I stretch throughout the day, it still doesn't help. I have been thinking about going to see a chiropractor, but I have heard once you go, it may be hard to stop. I would have no problem with stopping. Just wanted to see some opinions. Thanks.

The last disk in my back is herniated. It hurts pretty much all the time if I don't take my medicine. I've been on pills for about 3 years and I really don't want to take them for the rest of my life. Has anyone had the surgery? If so what was the procedure and did it work? I've heard they do it endoscopic now too and I'm interested to hear if it works.

Thanks!
