Pain & Pain Management - October 2007

And I have the normal soreness in my left arm (where I got it) but after about 20 minutes I also got a really bad headache, and have just been really tired since then. Also, I've noticed, that along with my left arm, my left leg and left side of my face are sore as well. Should I be concerned?

I am worried about whether or not they offer enough support to someone with back problems and whether the posture required for sitting in them for any length of time might contribute to back pain. Need advice. :)

My pain Dr put me on tegretol xr to start in a few days and I am reading all the warnings and freaking out.... if I decide not to take it do you think he'd find out by the random drug testing I get done at his office? I am on narcotics as well and get tested every so often. Does he just check for the narcotics or will he check the urine for the Tegretol as well?

I had a serious wreck 10yrs ago and fractured my hip in several places and had to have major surgery. The doctor told me that I would be more suceptable to arthritis. I am now 32 and have been having for the last few yrs or so pain in my arms and legs but only at night when I am trying to sleep. Could this be the onset of arthritis? What are the signs? Thanks!

I have been coughing constantly for the past two days. I have bronchitis, have been to the dr, and been put on cough medicine that isn't really working. All the coughing gives me a horrible headache, kills back, neck, and diaphragm, and has me almost crying afterwards because of the pain. I normally have a very high pain tolerance, but I feel horrible. I'm sick, coughing, can't talk, and achey. What can I do for the pain?

I just had my wisdom tooth pulled and they gave me Vicodin before I had it pulled. I also had a couple of 7.5/325mg Percocet's laying around that I have taken after my tooth was pulled because they were stronger than the Vicodin. (They gave me a Percocet script for the after pain but I still haven't had it filled yet)

I have taken the Percocet's today but now that I am out I want to know if it is ok to take the Vicodin since I am still experiencing pain.

i have had back spasms for the last 18 months...the doctor gave me cocodeine (otherwise known as kapake) to help with the pain.
The doctor said take 1 or 2 every 4 to 6 hours. i take 1 every 6 hours. For 1 day i am fine but after this i get very nauseous, dizzy and sometimes pass out. the spasms last about 48 hours and can come as close together as a couple of weeks and can sometimes go up to 6 months without a spasm
The doctor refused to send me to a physiotherapist to prevent the spasms, saying there was nothing i could do...
is there any other medication i could take without the side effects and is there anything i can do to attempt to stop the spasms?

hey all
yesterday, i had a really really sore throat
and today i have been off school because i didn't have enough energy.
My symptoms are:
- Lack of energy
- Every bone aches
- Eyes stinging
- Eyelids are very heavy
- Need to lie down
- Rushes of hot and cold every now and again
- Sharp stabs of pain over random areas of my body occasionally
- Painful sneezes

So, does anyone know what i have? Because it feels a lot worse than a common cold. Should i think about going to school tomoro, considering I have a biology test?

Thanks
