Back Neck and Spinal Pain

The best medication to take to relieve lower back pain is Tylenol or Advil. Non-medical treatment options include limiting bed rest, maintain good posture, apply ice and heat, and relaxation techniques.

The short answer is No (although you may have pain on the front side of your thigh from the "femoral or subcutaneous femoral nerve" (or othter spinal nerves). You may also feel "referred" pain, in the lower front portion of your leg from another spinal nerve (such as L3-4). The longer answer simply involves knowing where the sciatic nerve runs. Taken from another answer : The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest nerve in the body. About the thickness of a person's thumb, it spans from the lower back to the foot. The nerve originates in the lower part of the spinal cord, the so-called lumbar region. As it branches off from the spinal cord, it passes between the bony vertebrae (the component bones of the spine) and runs through the pelvic girdle, or hip bones. The nerve passes through the hip joint and continues down the B A C K of the leg to the foot.

You could have accidentially jammed it. I have done it before playing basketball. It hurts. You could try wrapping it or using a splint to put pressure on it and prevent it from getting hurt worse. A splint is just like a metal finger cast with foam on the inside that you can sorta shape around your finger.

Start with your primary care provider, who can do initial screening and referral to determine the most practical specialist and to get some of the initial testing done before you see the specialist.

You are probably just dying !

lol your probly coming down with summic. If it gets worse go to doctors and see if they know.

Yes, it can be a sign of pregnancy. Take a test

Did you have unprotected sex within the last 28 days? If yes then there is a chance that you could be pregnant. The best way to find out is to have a pregnancy test 4 weeks after the event of unprotected sex. But a miss period and some stomach aches are not the only symptoms of pregnancy. Missed periods and stomach ahces also come from stress. The more you stress and panic about the possibility of being pregnant the likely hood you may just skip your period for that month, thus worrying you even more.

So take the test or go and talk to your local sexual health clinic, or do both. As getting stressed out doesn't help anyone, especially you.

Could be a kidney infection. Also some venereal diseases have similar symptoms. Hope you have a health care plan.

Any abdominal problem can aggravate a sciatic problem, but sciatica is generally caused by the L4/5 disk pressing on the sciatic nerve. The pain is unmistakable, as it travels down the back of your legs into your feet. Essentially it feels like you've been stabbed in the lower back by a gnome from the inside that's twisting the knife around and enjoying it.

Since Crohns can affect how a person sits, walks and lies down, it can affect a person's overall posture and pressure on the lower back, and thus the sciatic nerve, making any sciatic problem worse.

yes it can cause back and chest pain.

You need to see a doctor for a diagnosis and treatment of a strep throat.;

Well, i don't know how to completely heal a sore throat, but this will help:

Sweet tea, or unsweetened (your choice, both work well) it can be cold or warm.

Add A little bit of fresh squeesed lemon juice, leave the lemon in if you prefer, if you swallow any part of the lemon it could irritate your throat, though this is unlikely.

Vics Vapor rub will help break up chest congestion. ibeprophen will help sooth the pain, follow dosing instructions.

Stay away from salty foods. Ice cream helps and its tasty

gargarl salt water :)

It could be a sign you are going to miscarry. It could also be a sign you chose the wrong thing for lunch!! The only way to know, really, is to wait and see. Unless you have a doctor who is willing to send you for an ultrasound this early, which mine never were.

You should first see a chiropractor or physician to determine the cause of your back pain. Your pain could be due to many different types of back issues such as joint problems in your back, muscle problems in your back, or an injured nerve in your back. Other things may also cause back pain such as prostate disease, uterine disease, kidney disease, and many more! So it is very important to see a doctor to first see a cause of your back pain and then let your doctor design a treatment plant for you!

Yes it can depending on where the endo implanted itself...i had endo behind my uterus and on my left ovary pretty bad and had all sorts of pains..pain in left lower back which got very severe when i had my cycle,pain in my lower abdomen along with burning feeling,very heavy periods that lasted anywhere from 7-18 days,mood swings bad,patience levels dropped etc endo hurts i know that much.I just had a laparoscopy,hysteroscopy and a D&C almost 2 weeks ago due to this..good luck with everything and make sure u get checked and dont let dr's tell u nothing is wrong because they did to me first looked at me like i was dirt because they thought i had an STD they ran all the tests and everything of course came back negative but for about 9 months i went through hell until i found a great dr who automatically wanted me to go in for these surgeries which im VERY thankful for because i had it pretty bad and ultrasounds didnt show it so FYI get yourself a very good dr and do not ever rely on planned parenthood that was my mistake because they were the only place i could afford to go to...

Until your not pregnant at least. It gets worse the further along you get and mine lasted until about 2 months after I had my baby. Good luck.

It means your hormones are preparing your body for labor by softening your ligaments so your pelvis can accommodate the birth if your baby. Painful, but worth it in the end. If you can get a pregnancy corset to support your back and bump you will find you are a lot more comfortable.

You most likely have an inflamed, hernaited, or ruptured disc in your neck! i know from experience, treatment is rehab or surgery and rehab but i had surgery and rehab... it depends on how bad you have injured it.

It sounds like it may be a form of inflammation of the muscle surrounding your shoulder or perhaps even the tendons are inflammed in your shoulder and the surrounding area. I don't think its serious but I'm not a doctor so see your own doctor for a examination.

It could also be a classic case of a rib subluxation. A subluxation is a misalignment of a joint that is less than a dislocation, but still lacking proper articulation. All 12 ribs have joint attachments on the vertebrae, or spinal bones.

Your rib cage expands everytime your lungs expand. So if there is a rib joint that is out of place, then you'll feel it everytime your ribcage significantly expands.

Reaching for something can definitely aggrivate the area. You are asking the body to fullfill a full range of motion, even when there is disfunctional movement in a specific joint. The contracting muscles that surround the misaligned rib are still forcing movement in that area.

The solution is to see a chiropractor. A chiropractor can adjust the rib back to where it needs to be.

The MOST LIKELY answer is one of the following:

A. A muscle spasm... You probably injured the muscle while lifting something fairly heavy and turning/twisting at the same time. Injured muscles -- and the muscles around them -- spasm or cramp, trying to immobilize the injured area... kinda like a splint on a sprain or broken bone. It's a protective mechanism...

What do do about it? Well... a lot of my patients had this, as well as myself, and it sure isn't much fun. If you know when you injure yourself, use ice on the area for 20-30 minutes initially to help reduce the extent of deep bruising. Then applying heat several times a day for 20-30 minutes each time can increase circulation in the area and help speed up healing. If you seem to have a lot of problems with this kind of problem [like I do] do what I did...I personally bought a hand-held massager at WalMart made by Homedic. It's about $35. It has two rotating heads that massage deep into the muscle; in addition, there are several 'heads' that vary the kind of massaging. It even has a couple of heads that you screw on that allow them to heat up, providing deep heating to the injured muscles. These massagers are so comforting, we keep a couple of them around, just in case one quits working [they are quite reliable]...

Another thought... Some people respond to ice over heat --and vice versa-- so after you've tried both, stick with what seems to work better...

It's doubtful that bengay or Aspercreme can penetrate deep enough to the damaged muscles to be of much value, but it certainly doesn't hurt to try them...

B. The other concern could be that you have pleuracy, or inflammation of the linings between the lung and the chest wall. Feels like someone stabbing you with an ice pick!! OUCH!! Inflammation leads to adhesions sticking the two linings together [picture pushing a plastic trash bag into a trash can... one wall of the bag is next to your hand and the other is next to the trash can wall... A deep breath pulls at the two walls of stuck-together pleura, causing the pain... Usually caused by a viral infection [chest cold]. Usually goes away in a couple of days.

Please note: You should see your doctor and put your mind to rest. The above answers were good ones and I'd like to add even the way you sleep at night can cause this. I've had the same thing, went to the doctor and I had a muscle spasm. Still, ALWAYS see your doctor when these types of things persist.

I would suspect a musculoskeletal problem, and that the dancer should seek medical attention to determine the cause. It may simply be a strained tendon or torn muscle, or it could be a bulging intervertebral disc that needs attention.

Maybe an infected Lymph node if you shave your arm pits and apply deoderant immediatly afterwards it can cause this try finding a deoderant without aluminum or shave before bed and put on deoderant in the morning relax tumors don't hurt anyways you don't need to do anything for the lump it should go away in a week or less

God. Maybe He invented it to teach us how to take care of our head properly :D

Yes, but the difference isn't that much. Most of the extra food you are hungry for during cold weather is to add some weight, not because your are burning more calories. And, people who feel warm in the cold are burning more than people who feel cold. They are using calories to create the warmth they feel.

Plz help me with my small confusion here .... 2 days ago , due to high reps of overhead presses , I got shoulder pain ( only left ) .. Pain was not very severe . But there was something minor error which I could sense .. I was able to give complete rotation to my shoulder without any pain but I only got small pain at some times. . I have been applying repairil , voltaren etc and pain has almost come down . But , when I give cyclic rotation to my shoulders ( like an action of pushing it back ) , I am able to sense some sound like that of cracking of fingers ( not that loud , but I can internally feel that way ), on my left shoulder . But the same sound is very feeble in my right shoulder. So , does that mean that there is something serious about my left shoulder, or hasn't it cured completely? I kindly require ur guidance over this issue... Thanks.
