Hey everyone.Over two months ago i had one of the worst colds of my life, that began with a sore throat, and horrible cough. Like an idiot i continued smoking a substance through this cold, which made it worse. I got this feeling that something was stuck on the left side halfway down my throat, which hurt everytime i swallowed. So clearly i quit smoking ,but since than havent been able to get rid of this sore throat. no matter how faint i make it seem, its still there. As well as this throat pain i have been getting severe headaches on the same side of my head, near the back. This is usually accompanied by earaches, and a jaw pain that i've never felt before. all on the left side of my head. for example i was drinking lastnight and my head is pounding with pain now...i cant stand it. Anyways i went to the EarNoseThroat specialist, and he told me to gargle salt and warm water for a month, and to see him again if its still there. This is so frustrating, does anyone have ideas?

Why would a pian management clinic turn someone down.Would it be because their doctor did'nt try hard enough to get them in or would it be something else?

Okay so I have two examples.

One; last year i went swimming with my friend all day. Went to bed. Woke up around 3am, both arms in extreme pain. I couldn't move my arms or fingers even or pain would shoot through my arm my whole arm would have a tingling sensation but with lots of pain.

Two; Few days ago I was lifting heavy boxes, using my right arm more for lifting, and an hour later i started to feel the pain, and it got worse and worse as time moved on. The pain lasted 2 days.

Anyone know at all what this COULD be? It hasn't happened to anyone else I know.

Mine isn't typical. It's midspine, at the level of my mid-sternum. And, speaking of my sternum, if I slump for more than 30 seconds, there's increasing discomfort, to the point of being painful, and then when I straighten up, my sternum clicks and I have relief. So, I have to remain straight upright, and I believe this adds to the pain in my back. In a chair and in bed, I need to prop something at my mid-back or on my side to assist with the posture. I use a plastic bottle in my chair, and in bed I use 2 tennis balls in a sock. This helps some.

The osteopath pushed and pulled me. The MD saw nothing on an x-ray, and suggested motrin. Haven't tried a chiropractor, although I'm not opposed.

I'm just wondering if others have this. All my google searches turn up info on lower back pain, and upper back/shoulder pain, but I've never seen my symptoms. Anybody else have this? More importantly, did you get fixed?

Thanks!

I didn't even know until last week when my chiropractor showed me my x-ray that the right side of my pelvic bone is about 1/2 inch higher than left. So, when I stand straight my right shoulder is visibly higher.

For the 2 sessions all the chiropractor did was twisted my torso and "popped/cracked" my spine and neck. I don't see how it could adjust the pelvic bone. I had to stop seeing him because I am relocating.

Does any one know what he would do next to correct the pelvic bone? Thank you.

I've had lower back pain for some time now, I was seeing a chiropractor for a while and my primary care doctor told me to discontinue going. I had gone to my primary care for a check up after passing a kidney stone and while feeling my lower back I burst into tears in pain. He said it was my sciatic (nerve) and proscribed me some anti-inflammatory medication and to not do any high impact exercising for a while. This helped quite a bit.

Since then, the pain has been coming back slowly. It also made me aware that for some time now I had an annoying pop feeling in my front hip (the joint). It caused no pain, felt like a tendon was sliding over and past a bone. That has since disappeared and has been replaced by aching pain in the same spot and on occasion it feels out of place, with more of a sharp pain, and will eventually make an audible popping sound as it goes back into place.

What is this? How should I strengthen it? I am going back to my doctor after the holiday

He said that this was a steroid that will shrink my nerve in my lower back aleaving the pain getting caused by my disc hitting against my nerve. It's been a hour since it was givin to me through a needle I see little results 3 doctors already recommended surgury. But I heard so many people tell me once you go under the surgical knife espeacially in your back your never the same again. Which creeped me out and made me not wanna do it, I am in alot of pain as I type this though and this so called "MethylPREDNlsolone" isn't working ok so now I have a pack of this medication to be taken for 6 days orally Im supposed to take 2 tablets before breakfeast in a little while im not sure if im going to continue this medication if it's not going to work. My mother says if I get the back surgury for me to find someone to take care of me because she isn't going to do it im only 18 years old im to young for this what should I do the 2 disc that are herniated are the L4 and the L5. What should I do?

My husband and I drive 45 miles to work. He works across town. I have no vehicle, it's at work with him (he dropped me off this morning). I have no voice, an earache from heck, a sore throat and I am coughing things up. I have a chiropractor's appt. this afternoon that I probably shouldn't miss. (I normally speak with plenty of people on the phone every day, but I could use email.) What do you think I should do? It would be nice to get some rest and have a longer weekend, but I dont want to cut my husband's day short either. Should I schedule a doctor's appt.? They will probably just tell me to take hot showers to clear congestion and drink plenty of fluids. If anyone knows and remedies I can use here at work to make me a little more comfortable, I would appreciate them!
