I woke up a few days ago with mild pain on the right side of my neck and stiffness. It started moving down my back and intensifying. I can barely move now without pain, and would like to see a doctor about this. My question is, what kind of doctor should I go to? I have insurance but don't know if I need to go to a general doctor first or a chiropractor or....I dunno. Could someone help me out?

I've recently started getting really bad lower back pains. its hard for me to get up in the morning,get up from a sitting position, even bending over to pick up or feed the cat. Other women at work have been telling me it could be the weight in my breasts. I'm 30 years old, if it is why would it start hurting now? and why would it be my lower back not my upper. Seriously I'm 5'1 and DD cup...i've seen bigger. I don't think thats what it could be, but what do i know? If someone could give me an idea or if they could help me out on how to ease my pain it would be greatly appreciated. Serious answers please....i'm in pain. :(

When does the actual neck and back pain usually occur? I'm almost a month pregnant and I woke up this morning experiencing the worst back of my neck and back pain! I'm experiencing stiffness and sharp pains everytime I bend my head neck or back forward, even when I'm sitting down. Has any woman experienced this kind of back pain? When does back and neck pain usually start during pregnancy?

I am tired of going to doctor for my back pain, and having them just keep refering me to specialist. I need pain relief. Not back surgery! I have some old injury, but the biggest problem is probably a pinched nerve or something that is causing unreal pain.

My partner and I have tried to concieve, and in the last couple days she has had some minor lower back pain and pain in the area of her Uterus. She is not due for a period for quite some time, but it seems too soon. It hasn't even been a week yet since intercourse. Could this be a sign of conception?

I have alot of pain in my left knee, almost constantly, and it's usually swollen. I haven't had an injury to the knee, but I did injure my right knee several years ago. I am wondering if anyone knows of any exercises or anything to help strengthen my knee and to relieve pain? Advil helps some, but I wind up having to take so many that my ankles wind up swelling. Any SERIOUS suggestions or remedies would be greatly appreciated.

I just did about 14 laps around the track today, but when I got home, my knee started hurting really bad. The pain is on the right knee, on the inner-side of the knee. What should I do right now to ease the pain, and what can I do in the future to prevent this pain? I like running, but my knees say otherwise!

I have been running 3 miles every day for a month. I have knee pain. It is not too bad but still makes me uncomfortable. During the days I do not run I have no knee pain (I usually supplement by going for a walk or swim). So what do you do to manage knee pain after running?

I had direct knee to pipe contact and now it hurts to bend my knee pretty much at all. Keeping the leg straight keeps me from any pain, but the pain is pretty severe with any movement. If you poke it, it doesn't hurt and the kneecap feels fine. It seems like it is something inside the knee. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow but just wondering what type of injury im looking at, any suggestion is welcome, thanks!

I have had knee problems since I was about 14 (26 now). It used to pop out of the socket easily, just when sitting down, etc. It's sore all the time, and seems to be worse in damp weather. Looking at the knee anatomy it feels like the LCL is where most of the pain comes from. Is it possible I tore it when I was younger & it never healed right & thats what causes my pain today?

I was taking Centrum One a Day vitamins and then I stopped taking them because I would get really bad headaches afterwards. I tried to start taking my vitamins again after not taking them for awhile, thinking maybe it was just a phase... but I got another headache and these headaches are so bad that I feel nauseous. Is there something in vitamins that could possibly induce headaches? Also, what the best home remedy for headaches?

I had the worst headache I've ever had in my life a few days ago, and I was wondering what in the world causes headaches. This headache had everything, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and an ache that seemed to radiate from the very inside if my head. What causes it? What exactly is going on in my head when this happens?

Ever since I went on a HUGE binge, I now get a headache right after I take my first swallow of hard alcohol. I don't get it from beer, only hard alcohol. I could drink beer all night long without getting a headache, but right as I drink hard A, there it is. Before my HUGE binge, I could drink hard A fine without getting a headache.

What could possibly cause this kind of a headache...It's usually in one spot above the right eye. This has been going on for about 9 months now and the headaches come randomly about 3-4 times a week (doesn't seem to be caused because of change in weather). The pain is usually sharp just in that area. Could this be serious or is it just a normal thing to deal with? What can cause this and what can be done to prevent it other then to drink pills?

I am 38 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I have had an awful headache backache, diarrhea, nausea all day long. Can this be the start of labor?

I get a couple migraines a month. They are always on my left side and hurt like hell. I usually get them in the evening so I can just go to bed and when I wake up they are gone only I have a lot of pressure on my right side - not pain, just pressure that usually goes away after mid-day. I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if they have any tips on how to make it feel better without having to go to sleep. And Excedrin Migraine, it says to only take two tablets in a 24 hour period, can you take three if two just does not work?

I've had migraines off and on for years, due to a car accident. The last 2 years, the migraines have cropped up more often and my doctor will prescribe a migraine med for me to have on hand. The problem is, she says that they are all very similar. So, the question for yahoo users is, in your personal migraine experiences, what prescription migraine medication worked best, and were there side effects, etc? Thanks!

I suffer from migraine headaches. I usually get a really bad one right before I get my period. I remember reading somewhere that you can eat certain food and avoid others to help in the drop of hormones. I have high blood pressure so I can't take birth control pills to help this.

I've had a migraine for two weeks now and the pain is mostly near my eyes, but not really both sides of my head at the same time. Sometimes it feels numb, other times a sharp stabbing pain, and sometimes a dull throbbing pain. I have a history of head injuries and concussions and my mother died of a brain tumor. Because of my history, is it normal that I should have such bad headaches or should I see a doctor?

I had been taking Topamax for migraines. I was on 400mg a day and it helped really well, but recently found I have a kidney stone due to using Topamax so I am trying to find a different med. I can take for it. For those of you that don't know, Topamax is used to prevent migraines, not to help with the pain. If anyone has personal experience I would prefer your answer. I don't want answers like imitrex, maxalt, zomig, as these are to treat the pain after you have gotten a migraine. I want an answer for a med to prevent the migraines. Thanks in advance.

I have been sick for over a year now. I keep going to the doctor with no answers they keep treating the immediate problem and I am starting to think there is more of a major problem. Possibly Fibromyalgia. I have body ache, pain, disturbed sleep, exhaustion, stiffness when I wake up, tingling in my hands and legs. I know I need to see a Dr. I just want to know more about the disease and if there are any treatments to help it. Thanx Bunches!!!

Are there any support groups in Plymouth UK, or the South West, still running please? Also, is there anyone living with Fibromyalgia, in the same area, looking for support? I would like to hear from people interested in raising awareness of FMS in the UK.

If I've got fibromyalgia (I think I do) I suspect my diet has something to do with it (prehaps other things too). If I do have fibromyalgia, carbonated soft drinks heads my list as a possible contributor to it and/or with cafeine as a runner up and/or equal to it? Is there a corelation with either or both if they are taken together in a can or bottle of soda pop? Thank you for any helpful input because it is getting painful. Ed

I've had Fibromyalgia for 17 years now. I've been off and on Medicine for it. I was just wondering if anyone who has it , had any other methods of pain relief besides medication. Thanks!

I have fibromyalgia and possible rheumatoid arthritis. What are some good treatments/remedies that you or someone you know has found to be helpful?

My stomach started to hurt yesterday around dinner time... I ate dinner and I exercised. After a while, my stomach started to hurt. I don't know why but like a dull pain stuck around until right now and I don't know why stomach keeps hurting. I don't think I ate anything wrong yestersday. I don't have any other symptoms except my stomach pain. Pain extends all the way to my back next to my spinal cord. And I think the pain is directed mostly to my upper abdominal area. I just don't have any appetite too. Ugh... Anybody dealing with the same thing or knows what is going on? Please help.. and Please don't post rude answers because I'm seriously in pain and I want opinions as to what my pain is all about... Thanks.. are gallbladder stones or problems be possible even if I'm 15? oh sorry.. i think it's mostly on the upper regions of my abdomen and around the middle region.. and when I press on the region.. it hurts more when I'm pressing in..

Everytime about a half hour before i eat lunch I start to get a stomach ache. Once i eat lunch i get extreme abdominal pain and bloating that persists for the rest of the day. It's sort of a gassy pain but not quite, and if i poke or suck in my stomach its a sharp stabbing pain. It sounds a lot like the symptoms of lactose in tolerance, however I know it is not because I occurs no matter what i seem to eat. Anyone have similar symptoms or know if this is a certain condition ? Also what can i do to help it?

I have SEVERE stomach pain at the moment, and I'm also really hungry, but the stomach pain doesnt have anything to do with my hunger, I can tell. What snacks either relieve stomach pain or keep it from getting worse? Please help im in pain.

What remedies can i do for foot pain? I have flat feet also. I guess people with flat feet are more prone to foot pain.

I wonder if my doctor can be wrong about my foot pain and it's cause. He stated tendonitis in my achilles tendon and told me to take Aleve and use a heel cup. I already wear custom sized orthotics which have worked for two years. The pain starts in the back of my heel where my achilles tendon attaches, there is also a bump there. Activity makes it worse, even as little as 3 miles, and rest makes it dissipate, but never fully. When the pain is bad, it also radiates up the side of my foot, all the way up to the ankle. I have followed Dr. advice and no improvement. I miss running - a LOT, and I am frustrated. My shoes are new, and I have the right shoes, fitted by a specialist. And I have $200 custom sized orthotics. I am quite heavy and that has always exacerbated my repetitive stress injuries, but in 3 years, 3 half marathons, and 1 full, never a problem this stubborn. Does anyone have any advice?

I have been having really bad foot pain along the top of my foot. I'm in cross country and it hurts so bad when I run. It's my right foot. I don't know what's wrong with it. I thought it was my sneakers, but after buying new ones the pain was still there. I've had a orthopedic doctor (if that's what there called) tell me the bottom of my foot is unusually flat, but I don't know if that had anything to do with this. I'm seeing a doctor soon, but is there any information you can share with me beforehand?

I have a pain in the back of my heal when I stetch out my Achilles tendon, however the pain is not the achilles. It generates from the right side of my left foot approximately halfwayy between the ankle bone and the bottom of the foot slighty off centered from the achilles. It usually hurts when I bend my foot. The pain is a sharp sting that feels like something is tearing. The pain doesn't last long when it occurs. It feels like whatever is generating the pain is not deep inside the foot.

Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to reduce foot pain, leg pain, and back pain while on the job at work. Thanks! :( I want to know if there is any foods, minerals, and what not that might be able to help me reduce the pain.

I have a bad sprained ankle. I went to the dr about it and got xrays done, so I know its not broken, but what can I do about the pain? I've been taking advil, and it's not really working. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I jumped into a pool yesterday, and had mild pain, nothing serious, i woke up this morning and can't crouch down, without severe pain in my left ankle, if i move my ankle to far over to one side, i get intense sharp pain, and a pulling feeling, also when i put my foot flat on the floor and go to lift my toes, i get the same feeling! What could this be? I have no swelling, and no bruising, I can walk fine also. thank iboss, i think u read this wrong though! Its not an std, how could my ankle get an std???

I am new to running and am experiencing inner ankle pain while I am running. The pain is in both ankles. What is the problem and how do I correct it?

I have terrible ankle pain. I walk outside and on a treadmill for exercise. Is there a particular walking or running shoe that is good for easing ankle pain? Maybe a high top shoe?

I'm a 22 year old comic book artist and dont really want to end up with wrist pain or arteries, or something like that later in life. Would getting these now help with that and maybe prevent or slow it down, or are they meant just for people who already have pain and this just helps with it?

I need help with some Wrist Pain. I play on the computer a lot and I have been experiencing a lot of pain where when I move my hand, It hurts to move. And when I let it sit still, I get a burning or restless sensation. Can somebody help me with possible remedies like massage techniques or cremes that may help it go away? Please help.

i woke up the other day and there was a pain in my lower arm by my wrist. it hurt all day, and 2 days later it still hurts. when i even very lightly rub the top of my wrist the pain comes, so i think the pain is coming from my wrist and making the rest of my arm hurt. it seems to hurt when i touch it lightly more than if i press on it. it is very weird. can this be a blood clot? or maybe i just slept on it weird?

For the last 2-3 weeks now, I have this pain in my left wrist. To replicate when the pain occurs, hold your hand horizontall flat, then try to point your whole hand toward the floor without moving your arm/wrist. Serious pain. It's right at the bottom of my hand where it meets the wrist. Any ideas? When should I see the doc?

When I grip the racket for badminton ( in gym) and now when I hold my hairbrush my wrist hurts. It is my right wrist's left side going up into my thumb. My mom has tendinitis in her wrists if that helps. I'm only 12 (going on 13!! ) I don't know what this is....

I have a pinched nerve between my shoulder blades that had been bothering me since yesterday morning. Its painful when I turn my head, and I had trouble sleeping last night because I was so uncomfortable. Any suggestions about how to eleviate the pain, and/or fix a pinched nerve?

I think it's been about three weeks since I pinched my nerve on the right side of my neck/shoulder. Now I feel a slight numbness in my right index finger and sometimes muscle soreness in my shoulder, tricep and forearm. Since then I didn't go running like I normally would. The pain has slowly subsided and now I'm thinking about running again. Is it safe to run if it hasn't completely healed? And are there chances that my condition will subside or will the nerve be permanently damaged?

I think I have a pinched nerve. My neck is real stiff this morning and I barely got any sleep last night because I had a nagging pain from my elbow down to my hand/wrist. So, I assume it's a pinched nerve. Do I wait it out, or call the doc for a pain killer?? What's the remedy??

I visited a chiropractor after being told that he might be able to help me with the pain caused by scoliosis/kyphosis/degenerative disc disease. I am in excruciating pain now. The result of the MRI is that my nerve is pinched where the curvature is. How effective are the epidural cortisone injections for a pinched nerve. Please someone help.

I have a pinched nerve and was wondering what the various solutions/cures are.
