Lumbar myositis is a condition in which there is inflammation of the muscles of the back. Causes for this medical problem can include an infection, inflammatory conditions, or an injury. Treatment will depend on the specific cause. For example, if the cause is a bacterial infection, then antibiotics may be prescribed. In case the cause is an inflammatory condition, the treatment may be drugs that suppress the immune system.

Congratulations you have stumbled upon a pill of oxycodone/acetaminophen 10mg / 325mg. It is a scheduled narcotic, if it was not prescribed it to you and you are detained with them on you will get you a felony possession charge.
NO. They are antibiotics.
anti = against; and bio = life.
Therefore antibiotics kill bacteria etc.
(Indirectly, antibiotics may contribute to pain relief if the pain is caused by the types of infection resulting from those germs which antibiotics kill. However, antibiotics should never be taken as a direct painkiller. Rather, one should take them to fight germs when one has become infected; but only after ascertaining that antibiotics are needed and will help. A doctor should be consulted. Taking antibiotics for too long, or when not needed, can have unwanted consequences.)
Sounds like a water infection, drink lots of water and see ur doctor for some antibiotics
What causes pain in your tooth that radiates to your jaw?
Bruxism (teeth grinding), TMJ, migraine, stroke. Therefore, if you experience any other stroke symptoms: confusion, dizziness, weakness, numbness, slack facial expression, or uncontrolled hypertension, CALL 911.

Sometimes. Injestion of toxic cyanides like hydrogen cyanide, potassium cyanide, and sodium cyanide, in less than lethal doses, can cause headaches (and/or eupohoria, shortness of breath, vertigo, confusion, adema, paralysis)- however, a highly concentrated dose would act so quickly that it's unlikely the potential headache would have a chance manifest before the subject falls into a coma then dies one to three minutes later.
Does spicy food have anything to do with pain of neuropathy?

Pain on right side of abdomen?
If you have a pain in your abdomen, you should probably go see a docteor, as you may have a ruptured appendix. The appendix has no known use, so if you're told you need to have it taken out, you're not going to die! The surgeon makes a small incision in the abdome, cuts it away from the intestine wall and sticks it in a jar for you to admire later. This operation only takes 30 minutes tops. Have you ever seen the movie Madeline? If you have, she goes to hospital for that reason; to have her appendix out. If you do have a ruptured appendix, (Appendictitis) and you leave it too long, you could end-up on your death-bed if you don't get treatment quick enough. So my advice to you is, if you are experiencing pain in your righ abdomen, go see a doctor NOW!!!
What causes lower left back pain and stomach pain?
The most likely cause is a disk herniation in the lower lumbar area. Disk nerve compression frequently causes pain that radiates into the stomach and side tissue. Depending on the location of the disk and severity of the problem, you may even feel pain and pressure in the groin area. It is extremely uncomfortable and painful.
You may also have pain radiatingi into your thigh, knee, side of the leg, small of the back off-center of the spine itself, or pain down the back of your legs. If you work in a profession where lifting is frequent, the constant aggravation prevents it from healing properly.
Back muscle spasms can also cause the same thing, but the pain is less likely to radiate into posterior tissue.
There are some OTC meds you can use to reduce inflammation, but you should get to your doctor. Untreated, disk herniations can lead to long-term serious mobility problems. Having endured 20+ years of them and 3 spinal surgeries, trust me when I say get it looked at - soon.
OTC meds - Bayer Back and Body Aspirin: Tylenol Rapid Release gel-tabs

Can you feel pain while having a seisure?
It depends on the type of seizure the person has.
Grand mal seizures, the most widely known, which are full body convulsive seizures which will cause muscle pain as if you worked out all day without warming up. The person is noncontinuous during the seizure so any soreness comes after they would awake. Another common injury is you find, while all their muscles are convulsing, this including their jaw muscle, they bite their tongues (usually more severely than you might have done at dinner cause they can't immediately stop).
Then there is always the possibility that they could be in the middle of something that could cause a more serious industry if they had a seizure, for example: driving a car.

Does having a high tolerance for pain mean you could have a high tolerance for painkillers?
I think you find out by being in pain (not that I recommend it). Whenever I'm in pain I tend to start laughing uncontrollably, so that's how I deal with it.
Addendum:Mythbusters performed an experiment regarding pain tolerance using a large container of ice water. The sensation of submersion in ice water is synonymous with pain, and will give you a good gauge by which you can determine your tolerance level in a relatively safe way.
Whats the difference between a strained nerve in the shoulder and a trapped nerve?
== == The word "strain" implies that there was an excess amount of force placed on the nerve and it was injured as a result. With a strain, one must rest the area for at least a week or longer depending on the amount of strain. Immediate application of ice within the first 12 hours would be appropriate and would help reduce the swelling and soreness. After the first 12 hours, application of warm moist heat is used to help soothe the area and increase circulation to the area which speeds healing.
The word "trapped" indicates that the nerve is trapped between two structures, usually bony structures. This results in continuous, or sometimes intermittent, pressure on the nerve which in turn causes inflammation and pain and/or numbness and tingling. Sometimes physical therapy, combined with moist heat and rest can reduce the entrapment. Other times surgery is needed to create new room for the nerve.
