Arm and Leg Pain

Neuropathy

You have five seconds to live

You need to go to an orthopedic doctor to get your knees checked out. Growing pains as they used to be referred to are achiness, not turning blue or going backwards.

Arthritis as well as chondromalacia.

An arm brace may provide some relief with pain from movement but in itself it cannot stop or manage the actual pain of bone cancer.

put salt water on it. it will sting at first but the pain goes away quicker. hope this helps

I have a pitbull rotwieller mix. She is about 4 months old and has pain in her leg. It does not look broke but maybe a pulled meusle? can I give her a 1/2 of a human ibprofen?

All ligament tears can be painful depending on the severity.

Depending on how deep it is in, and how large it is. First thing thing to try is press down on the shank in such a fashion that you are pushing the bend of the hook away from the barb and then to try to back the hook out in the direction it went in. If you think about it, that's probably how you remove the hook from a fish. Some find it advantageous to loop a line through the bend of the hook, have someone gently try to pull the hook backwards while you push the hook down. Another tactic is to push the point of the hook out of the skin, cut the eye off and just pull the hook the rest of the way out. Regardless of the way you get it out, do not delay in getting a tetanus shot, make sure you try to get the wound to bleed (to self-clean the wound). Use a good antibiotic ointment and cover the wound with a band-aid.

Not much that I know of, actually. A friend of mine had a constant charlie horse for three days, sometimes dying down to a dull throb and other times so painful she couldn't walk. Eventually they go away, but until then stretch slowly and steadily, and try to avoid whatever position you were in when it cramped. (I know when I bring my knee up at an angle and hold it there, like to tie my shoe, it starts cramping--I don't know if it was something like that or something else or not that caused yours.)

Oh, yes, there is, I will wake up with serve leg pains which are caused from a pinched nerve. I would lay my "blankey over it ( it is always within my reach) and gradually the pain will go away and I am able to go back to sleep.... Last night I put it over the affected area before I went to sleep and I slept the entire night. Most of my pain, comes from pinched nerves and it is wonderful.. I won't even loan it out, and if I go away I make sure it is the first thing I pack. Sometime during the day, I will tuck it in under my clothes- for back pain or just tiredness. or wrap it around my neck for headaches. I have a 20 x 40 size and am planning on buying another so I can loan it out for pople to try.

i think so because I was hit by a car and it tore it, now my leg goes weak o the side its torn. it also has agonizing pain

A normal condition where a foot could go numb is for it to "go to sleep," meaning you have put pressure on your leg that pinches the nerve cutting off communication with the brain or pinching an artery cutting off blood supply. When the pressure is removed sensation will come back to the foot but there will be a strange tingling sensation in the process.

Other than this your feet should not go numb. There can be several abnormal medical causes. A common cause is peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes or alcoholism.

I frequently have these problem and they can result in little sleep, not to mention the discomfort.

What I began doing is a couple of stretching exercises similar to yoga's different positions.

One, is where I stand feet together slightly apart at the heels with toes pointing towards each other and attempt to touch ones toes or palms to the floor. Never bending at the knees, but pushing the stretch as it hurts and burns, terribly. Stretching out the back of the legs and ligaments from heel to & threw the lower back. Performing this till the burn subsides. This technique should only be pushed to your comfort limit til you become accustom to this technique. Obviously the more you can fold yourself over and Aline with you rigid legs the better the stretch. This works well for fatigue and tiredness as the more we are on our feet threw out the day we tend to compress our spine and ligaments and this alleviates these pressures. Along with this technique I, while lying on the carpeted floor or any hard flat soften surface, typically lying on the side with leg muscle knots and pain, I use a softball as used in softball/baseball games. I rest the weight of my leg/calf upon the ball and move my leg/calf, about, in many directions both side to side and back and forth, finding the knots and marbles, massaging them til soften and relieve, hence the pain associated with them. Also, this action cause sever pain and discomfort while doing this, but the end results will be to sooth the ache and pain associate with these harden areas. Recently, having taken on work that allows for many hours standing and little movement resulting in the outsides of my knees becoming painful, my left knee worst then my right but both none the less. I bought arch supports for my feet which helps considerably, but learned technique, Two.

Two, standing with table ledge or counter, height approximately the height of ones buttocks. You standing with your back to the ledge height, lift one leg at a time and rest ones toes on the ledge pushing ones leg to fold at the knees and notice the extraordinary stretch one receives front side of the legs just above the knees, again when first starting these the pain is acute and intense, but subsides with practice and one realizes the benefits one receives, which is relaxation you can't believe.

I sense whats occurring with these techniques is the body's' ligaments and muscles are decompressing/opening up, allowing for an easy of movements which should be natural when ones' not pushing the body to the point of having these resulting pains and discomfort. Ones' body begins to feel fluid and moves easier.

The first technique I began many years ago followed by the use of a softball directly in contact with the knots and marbles, caution it hurts but subsides and relaxes. Technique, Two is more for the thigh areas.

Not being MD certified or trained, I am thinking much of these knots & cramps are do to lactic acid build up within the muscle tissues and the compressing of ligaments and bone joints threw out the days work and activities.

I, hope these techniques help those whom find themselves with these restless conditions

Perhaps you have injured a tendon that goes 'over' the elbow allowing it to bend and extend. Perhaps you fell on it. Perhaps you slept on it for too long. This is one reason we toss and turn is to prevent this. A doctor may have to take a look at it.

i don't know but please don't break some ones arm

:)

socks work

Trapped Nerve possibly. You would need to see a doctor to confirm.

Pain can be caused by many different things, but in this case I would suspect a hairline bone fracture.

Drummers leg

There is a rare but real condition that strikes drummers. The medical condition is common in the general population, mostly in older sedentary people with underlying serious medical conditions like cancer. It is called a Deep Venous Thrombosis and it can be career ending for a professional drummer. It is a blood clot that forms in the posterior leg somewhere between the calf and the lower hamstring. The signs are pain and swelling in the lower leg. In a drummers' situation, it arises from chronic microtrauma from the constant pounding of the foot on the bass drum. Once the clot forms the consequence may be the breaking of the clot from the deep veins of the leg. It will travel "downstream" and end up in the lung causing a Pulmonary Embolism (a blood clot to the lung)- Picture the cool segments on the TV show CSI to get a visual! Pulmonary Embolism frequently ends in death. The only treatment is strict bedrest for 72-96 hours and a strong bloodthinner (Warfarin/Coumadin) that must be monitored closely for 3-6 months or at the discretion of your doc. Too much Coumadin and bleeding occurs (nose, gums, urine, and sometimes into the brain). Too little Coumadin and the clot gets bigger and can compromise blood return from you leg resulting in painful swelling. Obviously, no playing drums for these patients. The chance for recurrence is quite high. So the best option is to not get one in the first place.

How do you avoid one? Sometimes you can't. You can try stretching and maintaining good hydration. Another good idea is to go light on the stomping... you will get the added benefit of making your drum head lasting longer. Good Luck!

your arm went to sleep or it is numb

No, Gabapentin is indicated more for nerve pain. Better treatment over the counter (OTC) for arthritis is Tylenol (Acetaminophen or Paracetamol) and Capsaicin cream. There are prescription drugs that will help treat arthritis but you will need a prescription from your doctor.

Well it really depends on which type of bed you have, for example if you have a bed with C4 strapped to it, throwing a Molotov Cocktail onto it wil cause a spontaneous catastrophic chain reaction, basically destroying anything within it's vicinity. For more information please contact Jihad Warlord Abdulah Makarious, who is first in command of the CRP regime in alqaeda's second suicide squad division. He is aslo well known as the premier league champion in camel racing and camel rapeing in Iraq. His prized camel is named George. He aslo enjoys camel fetish and camel orgies on his bed, which as C4 embedded in the lining. If you want more information on Jihad Warlord Abdulah Makarious please read his biography in the next passage. I was born in Egypt. I love to ride camels. My best friend is George, we met in primary school, he was the smartest in my class. George has two front legs and two back legs, he has yellow fur. I wish I had yellow fur. George can go for a long time without water, we often have competitions, I always lose. In the desert George rides me around, we go every where. When I'm tired there will always be a cactus around for me to drink, cactus is my favorite fruit. I raped George and now he dosen't like me any more.

What can cause severe upper arm pain (periodic aching between elbow and shoulder, sometimes pain going down arm and into shoulder)?
