I'm not (terribly) over weight (205 lbs at 5’11”). I go to the gym several times a week - on the tread mill for 45 mins with out huffing and puffing, work out with dumbbells, do lots stretching.... have strong thighs (still, from my HS football days) and a pretty muscular upper body (at 50 years old). BUT every once in a blue moon my lower back goes out and it’s the pits. I was laid out over the weekend and made it through with a series of shots. I didn’t hurt myself at the gym. I suppose it was from sitting too long at my desk stressed out over working some numbers that weren’t doing what I wanted then to. I admit to having bad posture... and well, I’ve read about it enough I suppose. I’m just here to ask how you deal with it – besides medicines (shots and asprine).
Is there a particular exercise or excerises that one can do to keep the pain from coming back? Pilates?

My back hurts all the time for some reasons. Is it because the way that I sit? When I sleep, I don't sleep sideway but flat. The next day I wake up, my back feels very stiff. What's wrong with me?

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and for the last 2 weeks I have been having what I call "spasms" in the upper back and stomach areas (both on right side). They are strong enough to make me want to lie down for about half an hour or so, then they go away. But if I get up again to do any kind of small physical activity (ie: dishes, laundry, GRADING PAPERS,) they come back. They don't wake me up at night, I have no fever or vomiting. I told the Dr. and they thought it was gallstones...they ran blood work, and did a sonogram... everything came back normal? Basically the only answer I get from them is,"We're sorry you hurt...here's some tylenol 3 w/codiene".... any ideas what else this might be or AT LEAST WHAT ELSE I CAN DO...?? The pain med's DON'T work neither do hot/cold packs and I really don't want to be doped up for the next 5 weeks anyway...they say they can't do any more until the baby's here. ANY ideas are appreciated.

I have started to walk/jog on my treadmill. All was going great, but after about 5 or 6 days I have really bad knee pain. The pain is really bad, and it's there even when I am not exercising. The pain is not directly on the knee, but on the inner sides. It feels hot and almost itchy sometimes. I have a hard time going up and down steps as well. I have still gotten on the treadmill, I don't want to lose my will to exercise. I will probably have to make a doctor appointment, which I really hate to do. Anyone else experience something like this? If I let my knees heal, will the pain come back when I continue to jog or brisk walk? Thanks in advance.

I am a 26 year old female, non-smoker, 5'-11" and 145 lbs. For the last month I have been having sharp pain in my right shoulder off and on. The pain randomly occurs, it doesn't seem to be associated with anything I am doing or eating, it just comes on randomly and generally lasts more than 24 hours. The pain is intense and deep in my shoulder it also runs down my right arm and but most of the pain is concentrated in my shoulder. Its not a pain you can located by touching my shoulder, it almost feels like its in my veins?
I have never had anything like this before and I at first thought it would go away but it keeps reoccuring. Is this something I should be extremely concerned about. Any information at all would be great. Thank you very much.

She sbviously feels really bad. The doctors need to start and IV, but she's very scared of needles (even more so, since she's in so much pain...). Anytime somebody caomes into the room and says something about it, she almost gets panicky and just holds onto me and cries. How can I calm her down enough to let them do it?

I woke up Tuesday morning with back and chest pain. Whenever I take a deep breathe swallow or burp my back and chest hurts. It kinda feels like the feeling you get of warming from the inside out but instead of warmth it's pain. Right now the pain is only in my back.
The Pharmacist at the store I work says that it sounds like a viral infection on my nerves. I had the shingles a few weeks ago and I had huge rashes on my skin. She told me another form of the shingles is the virus is on the nerves.
What can I do about this pain? I don't have my insurance card yet but this pain is really getting in the way. How long is this pain going to last. Also the pharmaicst told me that this is rare for someone my age. I'm 21. Are they?

I have this in my right hip, but there is only a LOUD clicking/popping of my hip if I bent down or stand up too long. Could it be the alignment of the bone or something else? I've had hip injections which only work for about 4-5 weeks. I am starting to limp and need to sit often on a high cushioned area or else it is tough to get up. Any sugestions bsides a hip replacement, I'm 42.

2 months ago I had really sharp pains underneath my right ribcage. They hurt so badly that it made me puke twice, it about made me blackout and I felt very weak.
Basically everyday I had them from then on. Some solutions I have was to eat and sometimes pain killers helped.
But still, they always came back.
Finally last week I went to the doctor where they then tested my urine, blood and gallbladder. The results came back all positive. They found nothing wrong with me.
So then my doctor suggested that I have some kind of acid build up. And so now for two weeks I am on Prilosec.
My question to you guys is, could it all be acid build-up???

Even Vicodin doesn't help! I packed it in ice and I am wearing a brace. It has been keeping me awake at night. I have an appointment for testing in two weeks, but in the meantime is there anything else I can do for comfort?
