Bear has constantly been getting up and started limping, but after walking on it for a few minutes, he's back to normal. Lately, he won't respond to his name, and is is too much pain to lay down. My dad refuses to take him to the vet cus suposedly "he's just fine". Does he have a serious problem that for sure needs to be taken care of by a professional?

It feels as if I had the surgery two weeks ago. I can't make a 90 degree angle with my arm unless I use my opposite hand to pick my arm up. Can anyone offer any advice on (1) why this happened and (2) what I should do for the pain? Thank you.

In the past few weeks I have had a strange sensation in my neck. It occurs when I am anxious/hot and bothered. The feeling is near or under my ears, it is a tightening that does not stop for an hour or two. When it first starts I even start pulling my collar thinking the neck of my shirt is too tight. I guess having a turtleneck on would feel like what I'm describing. It scares me, almost feels like someone is choking me. Sometimes its worse if I talk in a stressful way, rushed. Any ideas?

I am 6ft 2 and have 3 bulging discs, surgery is not an option as I have been told today by my consultant. I just need to "manage my pain"

I do drive for work and at 6ft2 I find it difficult to get a car which is comfortable to drive.

I need to have the seat at its highest position (or i can walk when i stop to get out)

Does anyone have any experience of UK cars which may be suitable. many thanks

My shins are so oversensitive. Even touching them hurts. It has been this way for probably a yr, but seems like its getting much worse, since now it hurts when i walk too. I tried researching it online, and all that keeps coming up is about runners getting shin splints. Well, i dont run, and spend only an average amount of time on my feet (i dont work standing all day or anything). Last night my 4 yr old ran into my shins and i literally saw stars and thought i would pass out from the pain. What could this be? And please dont tell me to go to the Dr...i know i should, but i have a phobia of Dr's.

Last week I started getting shooting pains through the left side of my head to the back of my left eye. For the past couple of days the pain is more prolonged behind my eye and my neck is aching like billy oh . I have been under some stress and I suppose a bit more than usual which is why if others have had the same symptoms when stressed I dont want to bother my doc with it. Thanks

I've had lower back pain in my right side so I went to the doctor. I also had the constant need to urinate but no pain when I actually urinate. I've never had a UTI before but that is what they treated me for. It has been 2 days since I have been off the antibiotics and I am still having the same pain. It isn't very painful, just annoying. I have a follow up appointment but I'm impatient and want to know what could be wrong. Thanks.

My MRI from April says: "L5/S1 degenerative changes with central disc herniation deforming the anterior margin of the thecal sac."

I don't even know what a thecal sac is! I DO know that I have back pain that prevents me from getting any kind of restful sleep. I don't have sciatic problems. When I bring up my herniated disc issues, people immediately assume I have sciatica and start telling me about their sciatic pain. I was wondering if there's anyone else out there with similar back problems who can shed some light on this. Did you have surgery? Do you have flare ups in between periods of well-being?

I felt great all summer but I've been feeling pretty lousy since September. Thanks!

Okay I had my surgery thursday the 25th. I had the 4 incension surgery. Im doing pretty good. I just have a question about what they used to hold my skin together. My belly button is the only thing sore. It feels like it is a poke every time i move. I cant remember what they used to close my incesion with. I know its not staples b.c I asked them after I woke up if they used thema nd they said no they said something else but im not sure what it was b.c i was still half asleep. I think there white and they feel like there plastic and there flexiable. Other then that its all healing good. I just dont know if I need to be worried about my bellybutton or not.

Do you find that you're exhausted most of the time? When it hurts less due to medication or any other reason (just having a good day, just had trigger point injections, etc.), do you find that your level of alertness and energy increase dramatically?

I think I see a connection in myself... I don't take my pain meds (not opiates, other stuff) every day, but I've noticed that on days when I don't take them if I'm in pain, I feel extremely tired most of the day. This is also true on days when I take them, but they don't really do the job because it's just a particularly bad day.

I guess I'm trying to figure out the cause and effect relationships.

Maybe I'm hurting because I'm tired? Maybe I'm tired because I'm hurting? Maybe there's a different reason for both? Maybe the correlation is in my head? lol

I have had two knee scopes and have horrible arthritis and constant knee pain. Vicodin is the only thing that seems to work for the pain. No I am not an addict or junkie, I'm a 38 year old married mother of 3 who has a full time job outside the home who just can't take being in constant pain anymore. Any suggestions from anyone? I am too young for a knee replacement I'm being told so........

Any exersizes ? Therapy ?

My right tonsil seems swollen and my throat is a bit tender as well. Is this anything to be nervous about? I'm 24 and have always had a somewhat enlarge right tonsil, but it's never hurt like this. The throat is tender when you put pressure on it (if you press my neck from the outside), and internally my throat hurts a bit as well, but I always have a slight postnasal drip so that's not really a cause for concern.

Is this simply a small case of tonsillitis? (No, I don't see any white spots or anything on the tonsil just yet.) The tonsil feels enlarged enough that it's physically uncomfortable. Can I just take Tylenol/Ibuprofen, get rest, and wait it out?
