It comes on while I sleep and the pain is incredible! It only lasts a minute or so, but the pain is very intense. I take calcium pills daily.

Hey everyone! I'll be 22 weeks pregnant this coming Tuesday. Last night i noticed a sharp stabbing pain under my left breast. Almost feels like it's under my rib cage on the left going towards the side. It gets worse when i breathe in deep, laugh, cough, sneeze, etc. Its gotten to the point i try not to cough so it doesn't hurt so much. What could this possibly be. I know its not my heart because your heart lies towards the middle of your chest not on the far left side like my pain is. Should i be worried. My baby won't be affected by this will he? Please help!

When you cannot seem to get better are steroid shots of any success or surgery?

I just ran at a national meet, and the night before there was a kinesiologist working on people. He asked if i had been running well, and i told him i hadnt.(ive had a awful year) He said he saw reason i wasnt. He said my feet were collapsed. Probably causing my knee pain and bad running. He recommended inserts from him. I cant find anything about these so can anyone give me any truth to this and anyone else have this problem or had the inserts.

Ok, this is probably irrelavent, but on Wednesday night my right side hurt a little and I felt a little sick to my stomach.

Ok, last night my lower stomach, in the middle, started hurting bad. I went to the bathroom for 20 minutes and was suck between diahreah and constipation back and forth. And my diahreah was very liquidy - and I'M DEHYDRATED. My stomach started feeling better when I came out. So this morning, I ate a yougurt and 6 crackers and now my lower stomach is beginning to hurt bad again. And I feel like vomiting right now, but I have NOT... yet.

What in the worldl is wrong with me? Should I go to the doctor if I get any worse?

Does anyone have any idea what the ball park cost is for endoscopy surgery.
I'm having surgery on a Thursday my Doctor said I should take a week off work, but due to financial reasons I don't think I could do that. Plus my job is not really all that hard, I do alot of standing and walking for 10 hours but no heavy lifting whatsoever. I was thinking that maybe that following Monday I could be ok to go back to work what do you guys or gals think? any input will be appreciated.

I have been diagnosed with endometriosis and was in severe pain today, despite taking regular doses of pain killers. The pain was so severe my teeth started to "chatter" like they do when you are cold/shivering (I was not cold). Can this "chattering" be caused by the severe pain?

Because of some injuries it's very painful to lie down, and I'm getting really tired of sleeping in a chair! Anyone have any suggestions to make it more comfortable to sleep once you're hurt? Has anyone tried the foam mattress topper pads and had any success? All suggestions welcome, thanks at 3am, no points for guessing why I'm up at this hour.. :)

I pop my knuckles all the time along with my neck and back. It's probably not good for me, but I want to know other special things that you can pop that makes you feel more relaxed. I'm just looking for other things that I can pop.

Thanks. =]

I have just had another nerve conduction test on my arms. Yet theyt say it is not carpal tunnel. He suggested that I wear a splint at night. I have been resting my arm/s on pillows whent I sleep which does help a bit with the numbness in fingers. Recently I had tingling prickly itchy skin on the top of the hand. I need to ask something does Carpal tunnel have to occur under the arm or on top of the arm? When I asks the doctor or specialist I don't seem to get any proper answers. I have researched about CTS and tendonitis but still am not happy with the results. Can anyone help? Zoe

I was hit in the side at 55 mph Monday..extreme pain all over. I was on morphine and other pain drug at hospital. They released me to either rehab or home..I chose home..they only gave me 5 days of pain meds (daracet).

A while back a neighbor asked me for pain pills as she hit a deer a year ago and has no medical insurance. I had some left from dentist I gave her.

Then she asked again and I gave her 6 pills I had left over.

I also gave her 5 pages of free and low cost/sliding scale doctors. Maybe she is too prideful to go there..not sure.

But tonight she invited me in and after a while asked me to give her a pain pill or two..from the few I have from the hospital that I need as I have no way to get to the doctor without a car and noone to take me to get some more....I did not want to as without them, I cannot cook or take care of myself as pain too bad. she kept begging and saying all shocked like..you can't spare one. Finally, I raided my med cabinet and gave her some old one
