Possible solutions for chronic pain include?
For many types of chronic pain there are new options:
- Exercise has been clinically-tested and found beneficial for both arthritis and back pain. A common response is: "But I can't MOVE without pain! How do you expect me to exercise?" Ans: That is why Pool Therapy was developed. Many million-dollar athletes owe their fast-recovery to aquatic therapy. Not swimming, usually a physical therapy specialist can design a program for you to do in the pool.
- Topical pain-relief medications - though so new they are essentially "secrets" - provide good relief applied directly on your painful knee, elbow, back or shoulder. Cochrane Reviews found 35 studies showed "good" pain-relief with the new topical NSAID medicines. And - there is a new, herbal over-the-counter option as well.
- For back pain - even the pain of degenerative disc disease - there is the new "pattern-recognition" approach that seems to offer fast-relief with less than half the pain pills when tested on 2,110 patients. (reported in 2009)
- New medications that help pain include: Cymbalta - an anti-depressant with pain-relief characteristics; Nucynta - a combination quasi-narcotic + anti-depressant (can be taken with other anti-depressants); Long-acting tramadol also works well.
Chronic narcotic pills are increasingly shown to be a poor choice for long-term pain-relief. Some evidence is that medicines like Vicodin cause your brain to "flip" after 2-3 months and actually cause an increased sensitivity to pain to develop.
Older options include:
- Fentanyl patches may help for a year or two. Then relief seems to taper-off;
- Spinal cord stimulator for back pain - moderately effective, but costly to maintain;
- Morphine pump - implanted in the spine. More pain-relief effect with less brain "fog";
You'll want to discuss these with your M.D. and perhaps a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist (pain specialist). Watch out there - the trend is to "drug you up" a bit by some.
Most of the time, It's a better idea to get 25-35 percent relief using one well-tolerated approach - like exercise. Then add another approach like the topical pain relief "secrets" I mentioned - to get another one-third or more relief. Combining several of these effective - but not 'Home-Run' - treatments often works better, than always looking to Hit it Out-of-the-Park.
Hope you get that. And Keep Moving - Exercise - Even just a little, but several times a day, does REALLY GOOD THINGS for your brain. (Don't mean to shout, but it IS that important)

The primary reason in it is a longer acting drug. It is also chemically different than AlprazoLAM. Valium is DiazePAM. The LAM's are typically shorter acting than the PAM's. I don't want to blow your mind with the chemistry aspects of these 2 compounds. So I will end it here.
Can pain in one part of the body cause pain in another part?
Yes. Pain is sometimes difficult to pinpoint. And some types of pain tend to radiate. That means that they either seem to travel along a line, as in nerve pain, or are connected somehow to another part, like in muscles.
What is the best medication for ear pain?
ibuprofen is the best way kills the earache within 1hour Home Remedy Cure:If for some reason you can't take any medications, or you need immediate relief until the meds kick in, warm up some olive oil or canola oil to the point where it feels warm but not hot when you touch a drop of it to the inside of your wrist. Pour a small amount into your ear (while laying on your side...having help is good) and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then let the oil drain out into a paper towel, gently wipe the ear with a tissue, and pour a little bit of hydrogen peroxide into the ear to get out the excess oil. Drain that after the bubbling stops. It will soothe the ear long enough for the pain medication to work, or long enough to go see the doctor.
If that doesn't work, put peanut butter in there, then rinse.
How many decibels are in your pain threshold?

Could pain in your lower abdomen and testicle be linked to Strattera?
Yes. I had the same thing happen to me. I was checked for a hernia by four separate doctors (not fun), had my prostate checked (even less fun), and was told flat out that they had no idea what was wrong with me. I stopped taking Strattera, and the problem went away almost immediately, along with a number of related side-effects. It seems to be very, very rare, and is not officially documented anywhere, but I've found enough brief personal anecdotes online to make me believe that its true.
Another user:
I also suffer from significant testicular pain upon taking Strattera. To test this, I stopped taking the medication and it went away immediately. I stayed off of Strattera for four days and had no pain. Last night before bed I took Straterra and awoke to significant testicular discomfort this morning.
STD's in Women are usually non-symptomatic. Meaning no symptoms. Pinkish vaginal discharge sounds like a vaginal infection, most likely urinary tract infection. You will need to see your doctor for some antibiotics to clear this up. If you've had unprotected sex within the last 2 weeks then see your Doctor for a pregnancy blood test.

ETPS is a non-invasive way to control chronic pain. This modality is based on the principle that all chronic muscular pain starts with nerve irritation in the spine. This then leads to changes in the muscle that cause trigger and tender points as well as the more commonly recognized numbness, tingling, and weakness. *
The theoretical underpinnings of ETPS therapy are based on sound medicine, firmly grounded in the concepts of acupuncture, modern neurology, microcurrent stimulation and myofascial release (muscular relaxation) techniques. ETPS unique contribution to pain relief comes from the synthesis of these different approaches, combining the therapeutic 'pearls' of these different therapies into easy-to-use protocols.

What is the best relief for ilioinguinal nerve pain?
That sounds like something that needs to be checked by a physician. Nerve pain can be caused by different things, and sometimes things that feel like nerve pain are something else. And, considering the area you mentioned, there are no nerves located in the ilioinguinal area that can be impinged by hard tissue or entrapped by muscle. Since there are a lot of structures in that area, including its proximity to the abdominal cavity, if it doesn't go away, or get better after a few days, if is gets worse, or you develop a fever, you probably should get medical attention right away.
