What hurts more an injection or breaking your arm?

I'd say breaking your arm.

2nd Answereer says:

Having done both (more than once, each...) I would have to agree: The breaking of the arm (each time) was more painful than even my very first injection, which carried more 'anticpated pain' than any pain since. A common nurse/doctor 'trick' is to pinch your skin just before piercing the skin with the needle. It works well!

What could be wrong if you have pain below the ear and sometimes jaw and dizziness following a tooth filling?

If you have felt that pain, how did you get rid of it? Well, it all started 8 months ago when I did something I thought was proactive but back fired and taught me the value of ... if it ain't broke, don't fix it if it. Well, my health plan was expiring and I decided to replace two 20 year old fillings, as a preventative measure, just to get some newer fillings while I had the insurance. Ever since they refilled that tooth, I've had nothing but pain. After the first refilling, I called and complained to the dentist that I still felt pain 6 months later. He took an extra and said he found a hairline fracture and that it needed refilling. I then asked if it would be covered, since the filling they replaced cracked. The dentist finally decided he would refill it for free. Well, I thought it just needed to be refilled. Well, he refilled it, and I thought the pain would go away. Instead, I got worse pain, more intense, and in my jaw and near ear and headaches, all on the same side as where the dental work was done. I then called back 6 weeks later and said I'm still having pain only it's worse and now I'm getting dizziness. He said to come in right away, since he thought would be an absyss, where he said it might need to be drained and I should be given antibiotics. I went in and he took an xray and, he said, the tooth cracked again. Well, I was so tired and in pain, I didn't have the courage to ask it it would again be covered, and just went in 2 days ago. He xrayed it and said he found yet another crack and it should be drilled and refilled. Well, here it is just 2 days later and the same pain is back where it is a constant, nagging pain around the tooth and below the ears where your ears sound like you're listening to the inside of a conch shell. So I'm not going to wait, but I'm going to call him right away and let him know the pain is still there. It feels to me like nerve damage. It feels like each time he drills, he drills further and has damaged the nerve. Even this last time when he drilled, it hurt very much when he was drilling, I could tell he hit the nerve 3 times. It seems like a few problems... the amalgamn used is weak and keeps cracking. And it seems like I've gotten and continue to get some nerve damage, with each drilling. Has anyone encountered this, and what is the best way to correct for this. Will it go away on it's own? Do I need to pull the tooth and get a bridge. Is the dentist at fault for damaging my nerve. He did admit some responsibility/fault when he did a follow up for free. But the last time he told me, you know this crack is in a different place in the tooth where I was drilling, so it may not be related to the work that was done. So I'm guessing he doesn't want to do free dental work until this is resolved. It sounds like my symptoms are like those who have had root canals and extractions. I've never heard of anyone having this pain from a filling (or in my case 3 in the same tooth in 8 months). Any suggestions, advice, how to get rid of the pain. I don't want to do any more re-fillings and am now afraid to go back to the quacko dentist, since I get more pain after each refilling. Your dentist is a quack and you should see another dentist. Ask your friends who their dentists are and try one. It sounds as if the tooth did have an abscess and he didn't bother to check out the tooth properly and just kept filling it. Teeth can get thin and weak and this seems to be the case for you. This tooth probably needs to be pulled. By the way, if you paid ANY money more than once for that cracked tooth you make him give that money back to you! Good luck

Can upper stomach pain and being bloated mean that you are pregnant?

No. Taking a pregnancy test and having it come out positive means you're pregnant. If you have taken a pregnancy test and are not pregnant, then you still have a lump, but it is because of something else. That something could be nothing, it could be a harmless but ugly cyst, or it could be a malignant tumor. I'm not trying to frighten you, I'm just trying to make you realize you need to be in a doctor's office.

What can be used for pain that is not an NSAID?

Actually Tramadol is a narcotic. Treating back pain without a narcotic can be tough. Gabapentin works for some people, but it's mainly used to treat nerve pain. I would suggest asking your doctor for Tylenol3. Although it is acetaminophen with codeine, it is not as addictive as hydrocodone and oxycodone.

What causes Pain in pelvic area?

could be caused by iternal tissue trauma I don't really think its tissue trauma. I myself have experienced this pain. I have had it checked out and it turned out to be hpv, which can be classified as a sexually transmitted infection. I've spoke to others who have had it and they have had the same symptoms.I know this sounds disgusting but the center for disease control estimates that 80 percent of all women will have had it by the time they are 50. Most men don't know they even have it because they is no test to determine it in men, leaving it only diagnosable in women, and it can remain dormant for a long time. I myself was in a monogomous relationship for three years before I found out. MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS GET A PAP and DON"T WASTE ANY TIME.

Pain on left side when breathing?

All type of pain that does not go away should be examined closer by a professional. Most likely, however, you have got a small injury:

You may have broken a rib-bone, got a tissue injury by a hit or over-stretched some muscles. Your muscles may also be worn because of bad positions when sitting and sleeping, or suffer from lack of use. You may also suffer from muscular tension due to nervous factors.

Try to find the exact spot by feeling with your fingers. Also swing your arms all possible ways to see if that also makes pain and to find the spot.

How do you stop throat from burning after throwing up?

An antacid tablet would probably help, a better thing to do is take one before you throw up if you think you're going to. Help neutralize the stomach acid that otherwise burns your throat. Will still burn a little though.

Ice helps in most cases, in this one too. Gulp cool water or ice and it will get slightly better

Trigeminal (V) cranial nerve


You have a nerve that is inside the tooth. Anytime you have a toothache it is the nerve that is infection.

You can have pain due to the possibility of a cavity, gum disease, or even your wisdom teeth (the human mouth usually does not have room for wisdom teeth causing the to push against the teeth in front of them.
