Several weeks ago I was awakened by pain in my chest and lower neck. My heart was checked and I had a heart cath but it was not my heart. I had jaw pain so I went to the dentist and he extracted a molar which developed a dry socket. This led to more pain but I thought soon I will get better. I did not. Now I am having pain on my whole right side of my face up to the top of my head. In addition I went to a different doctor who said I was grinding my teeth and needed a grip guard, I went back to the dentist who said no you do not have molars back there so you do not need a guard. Meanwhile, I had a tooth extraction for a cracked molar on the same side. I thought my jaw and pain would get better after my tooth socket would heal. I still have a lump on my jaw,pain in my neck and chest and now a dry socket. I was put on a antibiotic two weeks before the extraction and have since gotten another two weeks of antibiotics. My jaw is still swollen and hurting, my neck and chest still hurt and I am starting to feel that one thing is masking another problem but I have no relief. I think the lump on my jaw needs an MRI since the dental Xrays showed nothing wrong. Why wont they order one. I am really worried about me. Please help.

If a build up of spinal fluid in my cysts could be somehow helped herbally, I would prefer this to any other solution.

Today I found out I have cysts on my spinal cord in the lumbar region . The doctor said typically these are left alone. However, I have pain and trouble walking could draining them help?

Not very long ago I was having a lot of pain and difficulty walking. My PA said she thought I might have MS. Without insurance I could not afford the MRI Necessary for a sure diagnosis. She gave me a prescription for prednisone and told me to sign up for some insurance so she could refer me to get the test I needed. Well when I started taking the prednisone I noticed a great improvement and now I am pain free until it wears off and I am flexible again. When it is time for my next dose I start to stiffen and hurt again. Am I crazy or is this a real miracle drug. I was taking hydrocodone for pain but I no longer need it. Nov. 1st is my first appointment with my new insurance PCP and I just hope he keeps me on this wonderful prednisone but he does not know me yet. I would hate to not have it and go back to the scary way I could not move again.

For the past two months I have been steadily losing my ability to walk normally. I am scared. My doctor says once I get insurance she will run tests like MRI or CAT SCAN. Well in the meanwhile I was wondering if anyone out there has had this happen to them and what was wrong. It happened rather suddenly. I have had arthritis and diabetes for three years but this is a muscle thing. My muscles are in pain and weak. My family says if I use a walker or stick I will just get worse but I really have trouble balancing. They are in denial so I am appealing to you for consolation.

I vaguely remember different smells in sweat mean different things. If you really know the answer medically please let me know. Thank you.

For the past several months I have had increasing trouble walking, standing, and getting in and out of chairs after sitting for any length of time. My Doctor has put me on gabapentin, hydrocodone and motrin which I take but I am just getting worse and worse. I do have diabetes and arthritis but so do a lot of people and yet they can walk and move around easily. What else could be wrong. I do not want to offend my doctor by asking. I guess he would tell me if he knew what was wrong. I can hardly stand this situation any longer. Please just talk to me if you have anything to share or have a similar situation.

My right leg is all but paralyzed. I have excruciating pain in my lower body but mostly in my right knee. Frustrated by just receiving pain killers (hydrocodone and motrin) as a solution to my pain I turned to a chiropractor to try a different approach to my pain. He said I had claudification but I did not quite understand what he meant. I cannot afford to go back to him until september. So I was just wondering if anyone out there could explain this in more detail.

My daughter is getting treated with this solution in the hospital.

I have bone spurs on my knee caps. No insurance. Can not afford a specialist. What are my options.

my hands are deforming right before my eyes. I need to stop this now.No insurance.

I am losing weight but I noticed my skin is not shrinking fast enough. I cannot afford plastic surgery. What else can I do. Any rubs or old folk remedies available?

I only have two sons living at home now the other three of my children are in their own homes. My problem is they keep late hours and I just can not sleep until they are home. I have tried but I just keep waking up every twenty minutes or so until they are finally home often at 3:00 or 4:00 AM. My other children never did this around me. Please help.

I want to thank my sons future in laws for dinner but I do not know if I should write the thank you in their native tongue or English because they do speak English a little but speak more in their native language. What is appropriate? I speak both languages.

I bought a huge container of flea spray to use but then I noticed that my dogs eat a lot of greenery from my yard like grass and weeds. So I have not sprayed yet. Help.

I am about to embark on my first flight without anyone I know going with me. Unfortunately, I have to take a lot of medicines for my high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. I think this may pose a problem at check in but I have never traveled with all these meds before. Anyone out there a seasoned traveler with meds.

Lately when I lay down I feel like I can not breathe. This is new to me. I have always slept well. My cold is gone but I still feel better sitting up. I tried using two pillows but this is not high enough. I am puzzled any ideas out there. Help.

I am concerned that my left hand is very numb and my torso fells numb a lot of the time. I was thinking maybe someone can tell me what besides diabetes can cause all this weird numbness I feel so much of the time.

My daughter joined the Navy and left her pets in our care. Now we love them but I made a big mistake letting them sleep with us because I thought they were missing my daughter. The 85lbs one loves to put his head on my pillow and snuggle in. the little one sleeps with her head on my feet. I love them but I need more space on my queen size bed for me. My husband sleeps like a log and does not seem to mind them being there. Maybe I am just being selfish. I would like help to get them to stay on their own bed. My daughter will not be coming back for them. They are mine now.
