I had an epidural/spinal 3 weeks ago for a c-section and he had to stick me 4 times until he got it. It kills me and it's so hard when I have to take care of my newborn and she weighs 10lbs! Anyone else have a ton of back pain 3+ weeks after an epidural?

I'm thirteen years old, and I do cross country, and I stretch before running always. Since this morning I've noticed that my knee has been feeling weird. It feels like the knee cap is kind of out of place, and it hurts. I can only straighten my leg out out half way, and when I walk I have to limp. Yesterday I ran a cross country championship meet, so maybe I just pulled something, but I'm not sure. When I attempt to straighten it out, it hurts right in the middle of my knee--not exactly the knee cap, but the tiniest bit farther down my leg, like right under it. I don't know if there's a tendant or something below the bone that I might have injured...? It doesn't hurt on any other part of my leg except on my knee when I try to stretch it. Do you have any idea what this is or how to treat it????
I also have shin splints so if you know any stretches to treat that please let me know.
Thank you! ☺

I purchased this Sealy True Foam 11" mattress a couple of months ago, because of my back pain, but instead I got much worse and also my husband start having back pain! So we switch back to the old mattress (just a regulat spring firmer mattress) and we actually got a little bit better. Just recently we went back to the place we bought it to see if we could take it back ( and probably we can't because of their non-return policy) and we got to learn that we picked up the only mattress they have on the floor that does not offer back support! Same thing will be with the Tempur-pedic brand: this is what they said! So, I'm wondering, is there anybody else out there that experience this problem before? Obviously, we got it because it's "supposed to be sooooo good for your back, a better sleep.... Thanks!

Really painful upper back all the time! Understand that I've OA and RA. I took the pain medicines, Davrocet-N-100 and Methadone (10mg). It didn't help ease the pain but it did help with my arthritis but not my upper back at all. I did asked my doctor to prescribe me a muscle relaxant or something to help reduce the pain but he said "No" and told me that I've to learn to live w/ the pain for the rest of my life. Sound like insult me, isn't it? How do I make doctor finally willing to prescribe me the "little stronger" pain medicine or whatever it's? Will appreciate your advice/help me greatly. Thanks!

My mother suffers from osteo arthritis. She is on medication alright. But she limps whilst walking and suffers from regular pain. Is there anything other than medication which might provide her relief?

I just have a quick question for some really strong pain in my toe. I play basketball for a team and i play almost every other day for 4+hours. My big toenails have always been bad from being stepped on etc etc. The sides of them where they meet the skin of my big toe is where i always have had problems. The toenail is always broken off or loose in that spot etc etc. Well I got stupid and picked a part of my toenail ( my left big toe the right side of the nail where it meets the skin) and pulled off some of it on the end of it. Two days later the skin to the right is really red the pain is some of the worst pain I have ever felt in my toes. I cant sleep when my toe touches anything it is instant pain. Just Sitting around I have terrible throbbing pain. Can someone try to explain what this is and if something can be done to lessen the pain

I have very stiff neck and recently went for a swedish body massage focusing on the neck and shoulder area. The stiffness gone for 1-2 days. But it comes back when i start working again. i even feel slight pain when i tilt my head backwards. i tried to exercise by rotating my neck clock-wise and anti-clock-wise, bending my neck forward and backwards, but the moment i did that, i heard the 'sound' as if the bones are 'stretching' or 'readjusting' their position.
i always have stiff neck problem but without pain, due to poor posture and stress. but what cause the pain now? sometimes it makes me so uncomfartable that i cant concentrate much, feeling bit giddy and feel like vomiting.
is this serious? will it recover with time?

I have been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. The doctor gave me some celebrex but I never took them because my symptoms went away for a while. But now they're back and my butt has really been hurting. The pills have quite a list of side effects. Should I start taking them? I'm a 19 year old male. If you have taken celebrex, what side effects have you experienced?

One day I had to go to the bathroom, and as I was sitting on the abode, about to give shape to a poo, I noticed there was no toilet paper. When, to my avail, I spotted a package of T.P just outside my bathroom door. So, in a lazy effort to prepair for a clean dung, I decided to shimmy with my pants around my ankles towards the tissues, when I SLAMMED my pinkey toe, with a bit of a twist, into the door frame.

Instantly, I moaned. making my girlfriend believe I was having a pretty nasty crap. when in fact, my toe was aflame. instantly purple, and sharp with pain. and since then, it's been more of a strain on the toe then a pain. much alike the feeling of wanting to crack a finger or toe. and I've broken others and don't feel like waiting 7 or 8 hours at the hospital to get it x-rayed and have the doctors tell me theres nothing they can do.

or for that matter...is there a way to tell?

I'm 14 and yesterday I was standing on a chair and I stepped off and I got severe pain in both of my feet.My right foot stopped hurting but today my left foot still hurts when I walk, stand, and run on it. I'm slightly limping but not enough to use crutches. I think I'm going to wrap it up for school tomorow though. My foot is also slightly swollen, tender and black and blue(bruised)not all over but in the middle of my foot where it is tender. My foot is also warm and pink and my anke is xswollen/round and hurts. this has happened before but the pain has always gone away like it did in the right foot. Should I be on crutches and should I wrap my foot. If I do should I put some kind of padding like a gauze pad underneath the bandage(ace bandage) to make it more comfy. If not can you reccomend a different padding if I should use it. also is it possable that my ankle is sprained and I am feeling the effects more in my foot from walking on it. and should I elevate it at school

Ok, I been having these sharp pains on the left side of my chest since I was a kid. They stopped for a long time, then they start coming back to me.

Its like a sharp, intense pain that all of a sudden comes to the left side of my chest. I think it has something to do with my heart because if I breath in, the pain becomes more intense.
It would even lower a little bit on my left side.

Like right now, Im going through it. I cant breath in deep for right now. These usually last for a few minutes. It makes me feel like I cant move or the pain will come.

My mom told me before that its because Im breathing in to much oxygen, but I dont get it.

Whats up with this?

Hello,

I am playing pick up soccer once or twice the week. In the last 3-4 months I felt a kind of stiffness in my right knee. At the beginning I felt only that my movement was not as usual and during the game I did not feel anything. In the last 3-4 weeks I feel during the night pain in my right knee which goes away during they day. I am not limited in what I am doing and when I rest my knee for a longer time it feels fine. But I recognized after playing soccer that the pain always comes back during the night for one or two days. Then it disappears .... Any ideas?

Of course I plan this week to get it checked!

Thx, Roman

I have an arched foot, and I tend to get a pain in the back of my heel while doing more strenous exercises. Heel cups don't work all that well, and I can't wear them while exercising. I keep my foot in an Ace bandage while I'm not moving around. What do you recommend, other than keeping my foot elevated?
