I am 31 weeks pregnant, and been noticing this for a couple days alongside with some tingling/annoyance in left arm..
I KNOW to consult my doctor but I dont like to go run for every little thing- I do suffer from anxiety/panic disorder so I always think something.

I've been having some odd muscular spasms/twitches in my calf muscles recently. It feels like a small static shock in one place particularly in my left calf. Also after exercising my calf muscles seem to become really stiff and solid, which makes the spasms more frequent. Anyone have ideas or similar experiences to this and know what could be causing it?

For the past month my shoulders, chest, and back have had a dull aching feeling. The doctors did blood tests, ekg, chest xray, and stress test and nothing came up abnormal. Basically, I feel a sorness (not in my muscles) more inside, and it is sometimes in my arms, sometimes in my shoulders, sometimes in my chest , sometimes on side, sometimes the other. it comes for a few hours, then goes. I have tried sleeping, excercising. Any ideas?? the doctor toldme to take ibuprofen for a week.

I'm having a horrible, horrible pain in my head around the back of my head, my forehead, and behind my eyes. It feels like someone has grabbed my eyes from the back and is squeezing them. It feels like the worst headache i've ever had. Pain medication didn't help much and didn't last long, I feel almost sick, sometimes it peaks and hurts so bad I want to rip my head off... will I be okay until tomorrow or do I need to go to the emergency room?

What is the difference between a "drug addict," and someone who is dependent on medications for a condition? Fact or personal opinion is fine.

My husband and I are trying to figure out what I should do...
I'm in pain and am not sure if I should use my FIRST Fentanyl patch and hope it kicks in and works, OR take some medicine and not start my patch. The medicine isn't very affective anymore b/c of my tolerance--hence the patch. How long once you stick the first patch on do you have to wait for relief?

I was having back pains every morning for about a month. I had heard that ginger was a natural anti-inflamitory so I started drinking a strong fresh ginger tea and withing about 3 days I have NO pain.
Does anyone else have experience with natural "cures" that can be incorporated easily into a normal diet? Any experiences are appreciated. I am especially interested to hear if anyone can point to specific benefits they have had with garlic, calcium or ceyanne pepper

I was in voice class today and my teacher pointed out that when I was singing I was tilting my head- It was weird because I have never done this before and it was effecting my singing.

Well my teacher said it was probably tension and to get a massage or something. So my mom was rubbing my neck and she said she felt a knot like the size of a quarter. But when she rubbed it there was a sharp pain in one spot....

Before there was no pain and now it hurts from about half way up my neck to the bottom of my jaw.


Any ideas on what it is?

Okay, I have some mild sign of appendicitis and I don't know what I should do. It's nothing big - I feel pain in my right side and feel very sick to my stomach. But I was reading up online and those were a couple of the signs. Do I need to do something? Is it possible that it is something else and not my appendix? I started feeling side pains a few hours ago when I woke up from a nap and am just now starting to feel very sick to my stomach - but I have NOT thrown up or anything.

I have had pains in my legs since i was travelling around spain 2 months ago. I have just lost a baby at 18weeks so it started when i was pregnant. I originally thought it was something to do with being pregnant but they hurt more than ever now. I did alot of walking in spain. My legs seem to hurt more now when i walk for 10minutes or longer. If i sit down and rest while im in pain then try to get up, the pain is even worse and i can barely walk. I tried wearing different shoes/trainers but no improvement. Any ideas?

Is it possible that only 1 pair of custom orthotic shoe insoles cost as much as $450 from an Ontario specialist. I think I've been ripped off. Before getting a prescription to get these, I had inquired to my co-workers. All of them told me that specialists will generally order you 2 pairs. 1 pair for workboots and 1 pair for casual wear. They all told me that the $450 that my insuarance covers pays for both pairs in a package. I went to see a doctor with the name of a specialist that my co-workers had recomended me to deal with. I did not see my regular family doctor for getting the prescription as there is a walk-in clinic I access here from time. In there, I mentioned the specialist someone had told me about but the doctor refused to refer me to anyone but the specialist that is in the same buildin as where both operate. He told me that I was to get two pairs as a prescription. Once upstairs, the specialist tells the same. 1 week later I get one pair. Everyone now denies it was for 2

I have advanced Osteoporosis and Kyphosis. I've just started PT and would like to have a somewhat technical understanding of how the exercises I do help. I would like to find a web site that describes some of the exercises and how they help. I would also like to see diagrams of the myafasia and how massage from a PT therapist manipulates the myofasia to relax. I've been looking for such a site but cannot find one. Can you help? Thank you.
