admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:26:46 +0000

i hurt my back playing baseball and it hurt for about two days. A few days later i was playing bball and i guess re-aggravated, but this time i could barely walk for two weeks. The pain was horrible. That was about 2 or 3 months ago, now whenever i do any type of exercise, my back hurts the next 1-3 days. I want to know why its still doing this. If i dont do anything i really doesn’t hurt, but im not someone who can just sit there and not do anything.

Why do I have to wait a week for gallbladder removal in this much pain? What to expect after surgery?

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 17:30:07 +0000

I had a HIDA scan yesterday and I had a terrible gall bladder attack during the test. I have NO idea what to expect so I thought it was just a nasty side effect from the injection..come to find out a good friend of mine says she just had the test and had NO pain at all and her number was in the 50s. The dr. called this morning and said mine was a 7 and it needed to come out! Im in excruciating pain and cannot eat why do i have to wait so long (a week) for the removal? Being so low i thought i would get in within 3 days at the most! What do i expect after surgery? Im really nervous..I had a baby 7 months ago and need to know what to expect as far as my limitations in caring for him and returning back to work..any serious responses will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Why cant I get any help?

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:04:43 +0000

I suffer from chronic pain in my right wrist. Years ago I broke my hand in 3 places and have had three surgeries to try and correct the problem. My doc said he diddnt want to give me any pain meds because he doesnt want to destroy my liver and im only 20 yrs old. Then what is the answer? Ive tried over the counter meds and creams and stimulators. Nothing seems to work. Im not trying to scam the doctor so I can abuse the pain medication I just need some type of relief. I am diagnosed with artiritis and I believe I have some nerve damage. Some have told me I can get Vicodain legally from the internet with valid medical records but is that safe or expensive. Please some advice anyone…..
I do wear a splint at night, which helps somewhat. I have gone to other doctors but im afraid I will be labled as a doctor shopper just looking for pain pills which is not the case. I also lost my job and health insurance so am now applying for medicaid so I can maybe see a pain specialist. Any tips on how to present myself to these doctors? Because of my age I feel like they look at me a different way or treat me differently

Has anyone taken Lortabs for severe pain after having a major back surgery due to spinal stenosis while preggo

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:06:59 +0000

My doctor put me on meds after the back surgery, I broke my back 11 yrs ago and had to have major surgery, from spinal stenosis, I was almost paralized. I am now 12 weeks pregnant, and my OB has allowed me to continue taking them for pain in my back. I also have metal plates going through my spine from a spinal fusion. He said I shouldn’t be on a high dose when the baby’s born. Has anyone else ever had anything like this or could give advice, Please let me know Thanks so much!!
TO GILLIANP , the surgery took place in 08-01-2005 not yesterday and i found out i was preg. 11-04-07. the dr. that confirmed my pregnany is the same one who wrote the Rx . and we sat down and and he went over all of the risk, my dr did not say what you said at all, so you must not know what your talking about

Groin Pain Treatment Question?

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:41:53 +0000

Mid-May I got done jogging, thought I pulled a groin muscle. Had an ultrasound and MRI (entire groin/abodominal area) the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong. A urologist said there might b something going on in the fascia, a physical therapist said it might b the psoas. I’m 30, healthy and in decent shape. I didn’t jog from mid-May 2 mid-October. I started jogging again from mid-Oct 2 mid Dec.
When I did, I wouldn’t get horrible pain just a tightness in the groin crease/inner thigh about the size of a ping-pong ball to a marble. On a scale of 1-10, pain wood only be around 1-3, sometimes 4, or just enough to let me know it was there. I recently got a book on trigger points, trying to find them on the psoas and pectineus, haven’t hit areas of tenderness. Besides seeing a massage therapist, what could I do myself? Is this just a pulled muscle that needs more time? Is it a tweaked nerve? Sometimes there is pain in the area outside the abs up to my ribs, pain in front of hip.

Please help, I am 27, I have been in pain for 6 months.. I feel like i’m going to die sometimes?

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 02:26:22 +0000

I know this is long, but if you are knowledgeable about this stuff please read through it. Last time I didn’t get one answer and it really brought my hopes down.

I have been in chronic pain for 6 months now. I was afraid I would become one of these stories I was reading about in the first 2 months on the internet, now it looks like I am. I used to socially binge drink once a month, I am not that overweight, overall a healthy male. I never thought something like this would happen to me. It all started in June and the symptoms have kind of changed over the coarse of 6 months, but the more tests I do, the less I know. It is always confined to my torso area.

I have pain usually in my rear ribs (sometimes achy, sometimes burning), intermittent every hour. (sometimes on the left, sometimes on right) I know this pain is not really from my actual ribs, but it referred from some internal organ, because it will subside within 5 minutes. I will also get a very deep achy feeling on my front right side. (it lasted the entire month of august). This feeling really makes me depressed. It kills my spirits.

The pains I have sometimes wakes me up at night from being so achy. The doctors think I have IBS, but I read online that it doesn’t fit the criteria of ibs (pains that wake you up at night are not ibs it says.) If this is ibs, I do not wish this upon anyone.

The only relief I get are from strong painkillers (like oxy ir), but the relief only last for an hour or so then the pain comes right back. Doctors also don’t like writing prescriptions for this because of the "ibs" diagnosis so I am forced to deal with the pain.

After my first ct scan 6 months ago, I was told I had IBS and no further testing was needed. Well, I found out this wasn’t true, and that ibs is a diagnosis of exclusion, so I have undergone numerous tests (doing my own research and making requests, getting turned down, changing doctors) Thankfully I have good insurance, but have a HUGE deductable. This sickness is taking a toll on my relationship with my fiancee, financially, and in my computer repair business. I am always complaining about the pain and she is getting very tired of it. I am starting to cry from the sadness now every few days.

Here are my results:

ct scan when this all started in june- normal
Ct scan with contrast 3 months in - normal
Ct scan with contrast again 6 months later - normal
mri of abdomen/liver/pelvis with gado contrast 6 months into this- normal
abdominal ultrasound - normal
Hida scan with cck - 83% ejection fraction
rib xray - normal
small bowel follow through - normal (possible intestinal spasming seen)
hydrogen breath test - spiked twice at 2.5 and 3 hours (abnormal?)
cbc and various blood work - normal except elevated ferritin 386, elevated alt liver enzymes 141, elevated total and indirect bilirubin ~2.2 (they say I have gilbert’s syndrome which causes elevated bilirubin?)
colonoscopy 3rd month - normal
endoscopy 3rd month - normal
mri of thoracic spine - normal
hepatitis panels - normal
tsh thyroid test - normal
vitamin b12 test - normal
celiac test - normal

I have tried increasing my fiber for a few weeks, cutting out dairy, wheat, fasting for days (made no difference in the pain at all during the 2 days) nothing is working!

The doctors are starting to think I have an anxiety/mental problem causing this, but I don’t and my fiance agrees. I occasionally will go 5-6 hours pain-free, but then the pain will suddenly come on in my sides/ribs again. I did give in to one doctor who told me to try clonazepam for anxiety for a month and I did. It made absolutely no difference but make me tired with the pain. I just want the pain to go away most of the time, and to get back to my regular life before June. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I obviously have something that is very difficult to diagnose, and I don’t know if its ibs, but I know it is torture and If it weren’t for the few hours of relief I get when it subsides, I don’t know if I would want to live. If you have any ideas please help me.
I don’t know if it is worth mentioning, but I have had a muscle in my left thoracic back that went into spasm since this all started in june. Could this be affecting my small intestines? It is always bulging out when I bend over, but no real pain from it.

Lower back pain after walking.?

admin — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:39:48 +0000

Walking is my exercise of choice, and has been for over 25 years. However, one thing that has bothered me, and I can’t seem to resolve is that after I walk, I have pain in my lower back region.

The pain is more of a muscle tightness. It will last from an hour to a few hours, depending upon the distance I’ve walked. I’ve asked my doctor, and other health professionals about this and don’t seem to get a clear answer on how to resolve this. A long time ago I was told that it might be because I need to strengthen my abdominal muscles. But beyond that, I haven’t gotten any other feedback.

I don’t have any other issues after walking. My walks are 1 to 5 miles in duration. I walk mostly on flat ground, on either cement or dirt shoulders of roadways. I carry a fanny pack, which is setting more on my left hip than my back - but I have the pain whether or not I wear it. I wear running shoes.

Thanks for any constructive answers!

Can I SAFELY give my kitty a baby aspirin to help with the pain and infection of an eye infection?

admin — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 19:22:17 +0000

I have a nine month old kitty who developed an eye infection yesterday and today her eye is almost closed from the swelling and drainage. When I got her at 8 wks. she had an eye infection and my neighbor, who I got her from, said that she will probably have this all her life. She has 7 cats of her own and has owned cats for many years (she’s 88), and she says that she treats her cats with this problem by swabbing their eyes with a cotton ball and warm water, then putting a drop of eye wash (visene, etc.) in their eye, followed by giving them a baby aspirin to help with the pain and infection, and it always cures the problem. I’ve always heard that you can’t give animals people medication, but my cat is plainly feeling badly and I can’t afford 0 to take her to the vet. Can someone tell me if this treatment is O.K., and if not, could someone please suggest something I can do to make her feel better. Thanks.
