I had a fall and a cage fell on my leg. I was giving a prescription for Cyclobenzaprine which is genic for Flexeril 10mg. They told me it was a musle relaxer. What should I expect to feel. I was going to take one at work but was afraid what it would do to me. Thanks!

Do you ever feel like people who have never had a migraine don't believe you? Like they think migraines are nothing more than a bad headache?

I've been getting migraines for a few years now, I'm on a prescription, but as you well know, it doesn't always work. And I have had to call in to work or leave early due to a bad migraine, and sometimes I feel guilty because I feel like my fellow coworkers who don't know what it's like think it's not that big of a deal. Am I the only one who faces this issue?

I am in a significant amount of pain. First, my back hurts like a SOB, not sure what I did to it, but I can hardly walk. Also, my hand hurts cause I think I have arthritis. And I am sick with a horrible sore throat. It's just awful.
Here's the problem. When I was pregnant recently (baby born in Sept) I had a problem where I couldn't walk called SPD. It was so painful. It even hurt to sit/lay down. So I was put on painkillers for my almost entire 3rd trimester. Then after the Csection, I took them and then I broke my finger and had to take some. So I developed a dependancy to them. It was awful. The withdrawal was terrible and I felt like a junkie, which I am not and it was a really bad feeling.
So, since I'm in so much pain, worthy of taking a painkiller, should I take some, or would it be opening doors that I don't want to open. If it was only for a few days, would it still be bad?

I am getting intermittent stomach pains cramps – I had it yesterday till I ate porridge then it went . I woke up early at 5.00 am with these pains again they are like pains that cramps that come every 10 seconds in like waves like clockwork…

So I woke up had a camomile and it was fine went back to sleep until 9.00 am . now I have the pains again i just got up they seem better after a very weak tea without water..

Should I eat breakfast tummy is making the noises..but I guess its best to starve for a few hours or maybe a bit of toast and peppermint tea…can anyone advise what this is and how to deal with it .,..I also have a cold

I've been going to physical therapy twice weekly and my therapist, due to back issues, has me doing core stabilization but I swear my tummy is getting bigger and not flatter. It also feels firm like it did when I was pregnant and I know that I am not. What's going on?

I am only 19 and I have this strange pain in my knee. It happens randomly when my legs aren't even moving, it's so sharp I can hardly stand it, but it's so fast it just causes me to flinch and then it goes away.
But today I was driving and when it happened it lasted alot longer, I almost drove off the road and I had to pull over and basically whine and squirm until it went away.
I wear high heels pretty often so maybe that's part of it? And lately I've been wearing them pretty much every day because of work, and I'm on my feet for about 5 hours per shift.
Does anyone know what's happening in my knee joint or what it could be? Should I go see a doctor?

Ok, so here goes: I have a bulging disk in my back that causes a LOT of pain ALL the time. I was previously treated with 3 7.5 mg's of Vicodin per day. That wasn't enough so I had went to my doctor's office which is a clinic. My doctor wasn't in so I seen another, and was in so much pain I was crying. The doctor told me the pain can't be that bad, threw me a script of Celexa and called it a day. About 2 weeks later I moved to another state and had called my doctors office to get a refill while in transition to find another doctor. To my surprise, they told me that the doctor I had seen stated I do need pain meds and I will not be getting anymore from them. Fine, so I went to another doctor in my new state, a walk in clinic and they gave me a script for one week while waiting on my records. When my records came the doctor that seen me sent a fax stating NOT to give me any pain meds. So I finally got a new doc who gave me a script for 1 Lortab 10 mg per day and hasn't gotten my records..
