I have degenerated disks in my neck a frozen shoulder from a blood test injury and pinched necknerves.also whole head and face and jaw pain . mri was negative on brain scan.is head pain from neck?

I'm not exactly sure what a blood test injury means; do you mean infection from a blood test? Otherwise a disc or discs that are degenerated or bulging can cause a number of symptoms including head, face, or even arm pain.

Without looking at your mri I could not really tell you exactly. What was it negative for? I'm assuming they've ruled out anything major like fracture, tumor etc...But if you have disc degeneration that will show up.

I would use a good neck pillow for the neck, it most likely will improve alot of you symptoms. Use ice and/or heat olong with tens to the shoulder to help that recover quicker.

How long do the growing pains last in your leg?

Usually it is between the ages of 8 and 12 years old. My son is starting this now and he is 8 years old. He had pain last night that nearly made him cry. I looked up "growing pains" and he has the exact symptoms: pain started late at night, he was very tired, the pain was deep in his thigh muscles, massage helped the pain, and he fell asleep as soon as the Advil kicked in. He gets these ever once in awhile, not often, and he is always relieved in about 20 minutes after the medicine is given. If these pains get more frequent I will get him checked out by his doctor, but for now I believe it is growing pains since it doesn't happen often.

Can stress cause chest pain?

It is very common to have chest pain when you are experiencing a Anxiety attack. Due to you are breathing to fast and so heavy that your body is using all of its muscle to try and catch that breath. AS long as the pain is not radiating to your left arm, shoulder and you are feeling like a elephant is sitting on your chest you are ok and just need to let it ride out.

What can cause foot pain in young girls?

There are two main reasons why a young girl might have foot pain. The first is she just may be playing to hard with her friend, in which case an afternoon of taking it easy on the couch should take care of the problem. The other, however, which may require a doctor's care is trauma from an illfitting shoe that has pushed on her arch, compressed her toes or even bont her foot unnaturally.

What causes a dull pain in the groin?

What causes groin pains? I would say grow'n pains. I think and heard its stretching or pulling of the muscle. Like when you strain to have a bowel movement. That muscle you flex when doing so is your groin. It sounds like you've pulled or strained something which may or may not be your groin. Either way it sounds like its time for a trip to the doctor.

How do you know if you have an abscessed tooth?

I currently have an abscessed tooth. I had horrible pains, so bad I almost went to the hospital. It almost felt like a serious migrane, the next day the pain was more concentrated to my back tooth. there was minor swelling around the tooth and my lymph gland was sore to the touch. Go to the dentist because the pain will go away and then come back even stronger in a few days. Good luck with it!!!

A tooth abscess or root abscess is pus enclosed in the tissues of the jaw bone at the tip of an infected tooth. Usually the abscess originates from a bacterial infection that has accumulated in the soft pulp of the tooth. Abscesses typically originate from dead pulp tissue, usually caused by untreated tooth decay, cracked teeth or extensive periodontal disease. A failed root canal treatment may also create a similar abscess. It may also develop from bacteria entering a tooth filling and multiplying. The pain is the body detecting that the microorganisms are present. A pus taste may also develop. There are three types of dental abscess. A gingival abscess that involves only the gum tissue, without affecting either the tooth or the periodontal ligament. A periapical abscess starts in the dental pulp. A periodontal abscess begins in the supporting bone and tissue structures of the teeth. (Wikipedia)

Are Watson 924 stronger than Watson 932?

You seem to have mistaken "932" for "332", as there seems to be no pill with "Watson 332" index on it. However, there IS a pill indexed "Watson 932". You may compare it to Watson 824.

Watson 932 is acetaminophen / oxycodone 325mg / 10mg.

Watson 824 is acetaminophen / oxycodone 500mg / 7.5mg.

One pill is stronger in oxycodone, one is stronger in acetaminophen. As for the pain relieving effects of them, they depend on the response of an individual to these active ingredients.

What causes Pain in your left shoulder blade?

Pain in your shoulder blade is a vague symptom. The fact that nothing seems to help it is also, sadly, vague. Have you suffered any trauma lately (a car accident, recent falls, a pick-up game of football that got a bit rough?) How long have you had the pain? Have you tried ibuprofen at 8 hour intervals for two or more days? (Sometimes it takes several doses to control pain.), Are you a female? (Not to alarm you, but scapular pain is a symptom of heart attack in women, who present differently than men.)

If the pain has been present for more than a day, and hasn't gotten better, or doesn't feel like a muscular or skeletal injury, go to your local ER and get checked out, especially if you have any kind of family history of heart disease.

If you can remember a precipitating event, and it's just a nagging sprain or strain, make an appointment with your doctor.

Err on the side of caution.

You can buy clove oil at the pharmacy for around $4.00. You dip a q-tip in the oil and place it right on the tooth. You can also do the same with Orajel.

How do you come off pain killers?

I've gotten off Vicodin before and it's definitely difficult. The best thing I can say to do is to take Aleve for the sweats, stay away from caffienne and try to get yourself on an antidepressant before coming off. I usually stayed in bed most of the time I was coming off. If you find you're still having a hard time I'd suggest going to rehab, or going to your dr and asking for a prescription to help you get off medication. I have had Catapress before which worked well. Mostly, the best thing you can do is to STAY AWAY from them! It's the worst feeling in the entire world to come off Vicodin

What will happen if someone steps on your chest?

If the blow is hard enough, it could crack or break some ribs. Or worse, if the blow lands on the sternum, it could even stop the heart. There was a few ago, a small child who tried to catch a softball that was tossed to him. It missed his glove and struck him in the chest stopping his heart. I recall hearing about it on the news long ago.

What would cause your right arm to ache and your arm and hand and fingers fell very tingly?

Tingling usually denotes that something is happening to a nerve. Compression of a nerve can occur when pressure is applied over a nerve for a prolonged period, such as habitually leaning on an elbow. Compression of a nerve can also occur due to repetitive motions which can cause some damage to soft tissue, causing it to swell and press on a nerve, also causing muscle ache as well. Compression of a nerve can also occur when calcium deposits in a joint press on a nerve (most nerve plexus are located at joints).

What plant can cure headache?

Both feverfew and capsaicin (a byproduct of chili peppers) are used to treat migraines.

Feverfew has been shown to be effective as both a migraine abortive and as a preventative treatment when small amounts are taken daily. Chewing the leaves can produce sores in the mouth, so people who choose to use fresh feverfew often tuck the leaves into a capsule.

Capsaicin is currently being used in a nasal spray called Sinol as a migraine abortive.
