Now my question is my calf muscles on my legs and in front hurt so painfully, and my arm muscles always feel like a heavy load when I walk especially in the cold weather. I feel like a leaden weight and have to force myself to walk. I do have arthritis, and don't warm up before walking. Could this be soemthing else?

i have had an extremly irregular period this whole month, yes it lasted all month, but yesterday it finally came full flow, i had the usual cramps and backache went to bed and i woke up feeling ok, after about an hour i have had the most god awful painfull experience in my life, i had to call my fiance home from work because i thought i needed to go to the hospital. i almost fainted three times and could not get any releif from the pain, i was crying and had many outburts of yelling and moaning i was in so much pain, i was dizzy confused and light headed, it took about 30 min for him to get home, and by that time it seemed to have subsided a little, i couldn't move so he got a heating pad and put it under me, i was exsahausted from the pain and fell asleep, i woke up about half an hour ago, the pain is somewhat gone, although i am sore and light headed. what happened to me? i was scared, will it happen again? need some input or ideas as to what might be the problem.

Hi I have had a sore knee cap for years it comes and goes. I'm not sure if it is in the bone or the joint but it gets pretty sore. It feels worse if I put pressure on my leg (left Knee) or if i bend it. It isn't a really bad pain or anything it is just really really sore.It also sometimes gets a bruise on it always in the same spot my knee cap sore. I will get to making a doctors appointment but my doctor is verry buisy and I'm not sure if it that big a deal or if it just a normal ache I notice at least 30 times a day. I am 23 and I have lower bone mineral density than normal not sure if that would have anything to do with it. Thank you for your time and consideration have a great day everyone :):):)

For about 2 years now I've been running and doing other things like swimming and biking almost everyday. I've always been in great shape my entire life (21 yrs). However, when I come home and rest for a couple hours my thighs become really uncomfortable and the only way to relieve it is to fold them (stretch out my hamstring). This is especially bad when I sleep at night. I've found that stretching before running helps, but not completely. Any ideas as to what I could do or vitamins I could take to help? Thanks a bunch!

I have been out of work due to chronic pain. I have spine problems, thoracic outlet syndrome, and now recently found to have Vertigo/Vestibular disease. My balance is way off and always dizzy. The Doctor wants me to have vestibular rehab. I was told I shouldn't even drive now. I have no income and I don't know what to do. How can I get disability? I'm not able to use my right arm either, cannot lift anything over 1 pound, no repetitive work, can't do much.

I am cureently taking some anti-biotics for a gum infection and i have been getting really bad pain in my stomach and now it has spread to my legs. At first it felt like i was brusied all over my stomach, when my clothes rubs against my stomach it was uncomfortable and it was unfortable to touch, now the pain has spread to my legs and the pain is worse in my leg than my stomach, when i walk and my trousers rub my leg it hurts and when im stnading or sitting i get sharp pains shoorting through my leg it is only in one leg my other leg is fine. Should anti biotics do this? I have rang my doctor but he never got back to me i have tried for a doctors appointment but couldnt get a appointment for today, im worried. is this anything to worry about?

I have been diagnosed with arthritis last month but haven't been told yet what kind it is, since i'm still going through tests. First it was in my fingers and now its very painful in knees, wrists , elbows and ankles. I have trouble doing simple things like typing and walking. I'm prescribed with Prednisone, and i've been taking them for a week but there's no benefits yet. How long after would the effects show? I'm also taking omega 3. My question is, is it possible that i become healthy and be able to run and do things like i did, or does the arthritis get worse with age? Is there anyone out there who had their symptoms gone completely? If yes, then with what?

Hi,

I seem to have all the signs - it began with numbness in hands/feet, and has progressed to alternating 'burning' in my feet and legs in a number of weeks - I'm 22, do not have diabetes, and am terrified at the thought of living with this pain. Will it just get worse?

Hi, I have been on Pain Management succesfully for almost three years, but my pain doctor closed shop. I cannot find any pain doctors in central nj who will prescribe narcotics, and I desperately need them...they are the ONLY thing that works, I have multiple chronic pain conditions. I am on disability for them as well. If you know of anyone kindly contact rnrhoney at gmail.com thank you, andrea

I have had a mild migraine since Monday morning. It doesn't throb, it is in my forehead, around my eyes and between them. It won't go away. I've taken Tylenol, had enough to eat, drank plenty of water, and it won't go away.

What do I do?

okay...yesterday, my arm had kept going numb and tingly and feeling like my funny bone was being hit, but really wasn't. then my had would cramp up and it would hurt extremely badly to move them.

now today, if i put pressure on my hand, and it moves back toward my arm as if i were leaning on them, i get a shock of major pain and my hand gets all tingly but if i hold it straight, in a matter of minutes the pain goes away...this does not happen in my other arm...any idea of what it could be?

oh and i don't work out because i was recently diagnosed with mono. so it cant have anything to do with that.

thanks!

I'm on a large dose of oxycodone for an extended period of time. I know that one of the side-effects is constipation, and it seems to me that it is brought on by dehydration. I'm not cetain of this, just speculating, so please don't just say, "Drink lots of water", unless that's really worked for you. I'm looking for people with first-hand experience, and solutions.

Note: I respect chiropractic and understand that it can help for maintance of minor back pain/discomfort. I know this because I occasionally see a chiro for my back, and the adjustments feel good and clear up mild back/neck pain.

But a friend of mine has very severe back pain, and has had this for a long time. And although chiropractic has offered some relief, even after numerous visits, the pain has not diminished and continues to persist. So I'm curious to find out, what other alternatives are there for individuals with severe, chronic back pain? (other than simply popping pain killers, of course)

Acupuncture is out of the question, as insurance wont cover this service for them.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks.

My partner had a kidney stone in Germany 12 years ago, they treated it successfully and no further problems. This morning at 4am he woke up in excrutiating pain, I made him a hot water bottle, no temperature or anything like that - then he was very sick with lots of bile - we think this may have dislodged it because it is not painful anymore - will it return do you think? He is taking a urine sample to the Docs later today. What is the treatment?
