Pain & Pain Management - November 2007

A family member of mine takes prescribed pain meds (Norco) and still drives around. He's been doing this for a few years. I always come up with an excuse when he asks if my kids want to go somewhere with him. Is it against the law to drive when you take a high amt of prescribed pain meds?

its a very funny incident. i was very scared of needles n injections that doctors use.when i was just 8 yr old, my mom took me to doctor for injection. i was not aware of that, but when i came to knew that i started shouting very loudly
it was impossible for doctor to give me injection, so my mom had to clamp her hand on my mouth to smother my screams. she kept her hand tightly pressed on my mouth until doctor was finished with his job.if she wouldnt had covered my mouth, i would have created a scene out there coz i was screaming really hard.this incident really makes me laugh till now

.thank god i didnt had a blocked nose that day.do u think that my mom did the right thing at that moment? n why?

I broke my collar bone on Wednesday, and the Dr gave me Vicodin for the pain. This morning the discomfort is considerable, and I am wondering if it is safe to take some Advil in addition to the Vicodin. I suppose I could take more Vicodin, but it makes me feel loopy and slightly naseuos. Advice, please?

Hi,

I've been having bad headaches for years and I'm only 21. I did tests and everything was ok. But sometimes my headaches start in the morning and finish the next day. It's killing me, they are everyday! I dont know what to do, I took pills but they never helped.

I am only 28 years old, so this is not likely due to osteoarthritis.

The joint pain seems to get worse throughout the day, although it improves with exposure to heat (e.g. hot showers, rubbing them with Icy-Hot). I am also more tired than normal, and the pain is making normal activities (working in the lab, cooking, etc.) difficult. I went to a doctor, and she decided to do various blood test, including one for rheumatoid factor (an indicator of rheumatoid arthritis), but I won't know the results for several more days.

I have already consulted various on-line sources for information, and was wondering whether anyone here has had experience with rheumatoid arthritis or similar diseases that can give me some information or insight?

At what age do people normally begin developing arthritis? I ask this because lately I've been getting these odd pains in my fingers and wrist on my right hand. I'm only 15 but I love to crack my bones alot such as my neck, knuckles, wrists, etc. Could I have arthritis???

I have problems with my muscles tightening up and sometimes tearing. I've had my neck,back,ribs and even my shoulders pop out of place because of my muscles. I've been to the doctors and been tested for arthritis and a few other things but they can't seem to figure out what it is.I'm in constant and terrible pain 24/7 and all the drugs they've given me for pain either leave me sick or completely out of it. If anybody knows of something that causes severe muscle cramping over a long period of time please let me know so I can continue to research and hopefully find what the doctors can't.
Thank you

I have alot of pain in my left knee, almost constantly, and it's usually swollen. I haven't had an injury to the knee, but I did injure my right knee several years ago. I am wondering if anyone knows of any exercises or anything to help strengthen my knee and to relieve pain? Advil helps some, but I wind up having to take so many that my ankles wind up swelling. Any SERIOUS suggestions or remedies would be greatly appreciated.

i have had this headache for 2 weeks and nothing seems to be helping it. i have epilepsy, and went to see my neuroligist about it. he just gave me some meds for migrains, but even this doesn't help. i have been fighting severe fatigue for almost a year now , and that has gotten worse over the past few months. they don't know what is causing that or the headaches. any advice would be great at this point.
