She says she was feeling pretty good yesterday. But today she woke up and she can hardly move due to the pain I think. The pain is around her stomach and she can't sleep or eat. Has a loss of appetite. She also feels weak. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks.

I have an allsore (spelling?), and even though I can't stand the pain, I still always find my self pushing on it with my tongue. Why is this, I don't push in that spot when I don't have an allsore, so I was wondering if it's normal.

I have been getting horrible backaches in the bra line when I lean forward. If for instance we are dining out or I spend much time at the table when eating I will get that pain. I know it isnt caused from food. Yesterday I had my fingernails done and ending up spending about 2 hours not being able to sit up straight but leaning forward a bit. My back hurt so bad the rest of the day and night I could not get comfortable to even sleep. The pain is right in the bra line from the back and wraps around to the beginning of the breasts. Can anyone tell me what would cause this or what to do?

In virginia, Codeine is legal to purchase without a prescription, as long as the amount of codeine per dosage unit is within the legal limits for non-prescription sales. If you don't believe me, go to page 92 at the webpage "http://www.dhp.virginia.gov/pharmacy/leg/Pharmacy%20Law%202007-8-23-07.doc" and there's a paragraph explaining the rules about all that. The problem is, I have back aches sometimes that get fairly acute, but I can't keep going to the Doc everytime it happens... that costs money, and money is tight right now, and ibuprofen/ acetiminophen/ naproxen/ etodolac... all those don't work.. i've been prescribed those already seeing how they're not narcotics or whatnot.... Knowing that codeine can be sold w/o a prescription, i've tried asking pharmacies if i can purchase some, they all told me no. How can I convince them without looking like someone who's just trying to abuse the codeine instead of using it for actual pain?

I get random drug tests for pain doctor and I was tested Monday when I picked up one of my scripts.
I have to pick up my other script next Monday cuz I run out of one med a week after the other which means 2 trips to the office every month. I'm going to ask for only 1 week supply of the one I pick up next Monday so I can start picking them up together and save myself a trip....... my question is:
What are the chances of being tested 2 weeks in a row?
FYI - all my other tests over the last year or so have been fine.... nothing in me except what meds I'm suppossed to take.
I don't drink booze often except maybe 1x a year but.....I have a wedding to attend Sunday and I want to skip my meds for 1 day so I have a few drinks and enjoy myself with family and friends. I don't want to be tested and have booze in me if I can avoid it. If there is even a chance they would test me again I won't drink so..... is it unlikely & rare that someone is tested 2 weeks in a row.. 7 days later?

This is a totally hypothetical question.

My mom broke her bones 4 times. I never broke a bone. But I asked her what it felt like. She never answered cause she couldn't explain it or put into words. Yet, she makes pizza with a broken arm (in a cast.) so Im guessing it doesn't hurt THAT much.

But I imagine having a broken bone hurts like ALOT.

A few of my friends said they had it and it did hurt. But afterwards, they talk about it like, meh. It wasn't too bad.

I have done research on the net, and there are some people whom ahve broken their bones like 10 times and brag about it.

So, my question is....if someone breaks their bone. Do painkillers have any effect in nullifying or eliminating the pain?
And how effective is the painkiller in removing the pain? By how much? 50%? 20%? 70%? Some people claim that the painkillers don't work very much. And some people claim they felt barely any pain. Alot of people I know bragged that they had broken bones and didn't feel any pain.

I've been having alot of headaches. Not little ones but really big ones. Its not that I need glasses, I already have them and I'm pretty sure my prescripition is correct and even when I'm not reading I have headaches. I can hardly think. And sometimes my head hurts so bad I either throw up or have to lay down afraid I'll pass out.

Does anyone know whats wrong with me?

I was setting at the computer the other night and I turned my head side ways and I felt pain in my neck, so I felt where the pain was and there was a lump. It's about the size of a quater and it's pretty painful. I'd been feeling like I was getting a cold for about a week before I noticed it. It hurts when I swallow and when touched it feels like I'm touching a nerve or something. I don't know it's complicating and scary...will it go away or should I go to the doctor?
