I’ve dislocated both of my knees. The last time was in September on my birthday at the party!(SUCKED!) Well I’ve been through physical therapy for months and my knee is still swollen and they both feel like they will dislocate again. My doctor knows. What can I do for the pain? I’ve taken meds and Iced it about 5 times a day. By the way I’m 13 so it’s not like my bones are really old or anything…

I’ve Dislocated My Knees 3 Times Last Time Was In Sept. On My Birthday But It’s Still Swollen…?
Jul 13
About almost a year ago i woke up with a stiff neck one morning out of nowhere. The pain never went away. I have a stiff neck, mainly on my right side of my neck up to about the middle of my head, tight shoulders, and a tight upper back, all sometimes with pain too. I’ve had an x-ray on my neck which came out normal, physical therapy for 2 months which didnt improve much, and an mri that came back pretty normal on my neck and upper back. Minor scoliosis but the orthopedic doctor saw nothing that looked too extreme, but he was also a clueless idiot. Can anyone help me out…..it’s so stressful, physically and mentally.
I don’t know what to do! Please help as much as possible…
I’ve had back problems all my life, and i’m only 21. march of 08, I was getting ready for work. I went to stand up from sitting on the couch, and I realized I couldn’t get up. I couldn’t feel from my hips down, but what I COULD feel was unbelievable pressure in my lower back and legs. I ended up having to be carried to the hospital. The doctor there did nothing but push me to bend over and see how far i could bend until i touched my toes (by this time i was in incredibly serious pain). He, without doing an mri or xrays, automatically prescribed me anti-inflammitories and muscle relaxers. after a few months, I had to go to another doctor.
She told me they werent helping me any, and she took xrays and an mri. She found out that my spinal discs are deteriorating and slipping in and out of place. So she prescribed me multiple things at different times to figure out which ones helped and which ones didn’t.
I found that high doses of lortab mixed with flexeril and oxycodone and flexeril worked. everything else didn’t even touch the pain.
Over the past few months, things have been getting worse. I can’t get through work without feeling like something is going to break. Most often, it’s my tailbone. I feel if I put pressure on my right foot, my tailbone will snap completely in half. it sends searing pain down my right leg, and up to my head, causing migraines. I’ve been in physical therapy, and it makes it worse.
I don’t believe it’s muscles, but i don’t know what to say to the doctors to get them to help me and believe me.
I recently went to the doctor for this problem. He mentioned to me that he won’t give me those medications because of high addiction rates?
I don’t know what these rates are, but my question would be:
What is a pain killer you have tried that helped and did its job?
also, when muscle relaxers make you sleep well instead of relaxing muscles, what else could be used to help relax you?
PLEASE help, like i said, i’m only 21 years old. I need to figure this out before it gets too much worse.
thankyou, megan.
I’m In Serious Glute And Right Leg Shooting Pain. Please Help Me! I’ve Suffered For Too Long.?
Feb 14
I had posterior spinal fusion on September 12, 2007 to reduce the increase on my idiopathic curve for scoliosis. The first 6 months post op were fine but now I have glute pain in my right and left sides but I only feel the pain in my right because the left side is putting tension on the right. I also have shooting pain down the side, front, and back of my right leg and glute. I am up at night in serious pain and sometimes while I’m doing certain steps in dance class it’ll hurt. I have ice packs, biofreeze gel, physical therapy, and a massage therapist helping. I do various glute exercises, along with eight different physical therapy exercises. I feel like there is no answer because even though the massage therapist helped and I was pain free for 9 days, i feel like it’s worsening. Please, somebody answer this question and tell me if there is any other thing I can possibly do to get rid of this pain. I’ve been dealing with this for months. I shouldn’t go through life like this
I take anti-inflammatories & muscle relaxers. I exercise. I wear a lumbar corset. An MRI test results today show 2 herniated discs. Now I have to go for physical therapy, too.
What other treatments are used for this?

What Do I Do About Chronic Back And Neck Pain. I’ve Seen So Many Doctors Can’t Find Solution.?
Jan 27
chiropractor,physical therapy,MRI, botox shots ,and neck and back spinal blocks.every doctor treats me like a drug addict,because muscle relaxers and pain meds are the only thing that helps. WHAT NEXT !!!!????
I’ve had back pain for years and it seems to be getting worse day by day. My neck, shoulders, and spine hurts so much. I cant even function, i just want to lay down…sometimes it gets so bad i scream and cry. i’ve been to orthapedics, chiroprators, physical therapy, and have had xrays done.No doctor really knows what wrong with me..only thing they know is that i have a minor case of scoliosis. Meds such as advil and other over the counter meds dont seem to work at all…
which is cool because everybody says surgery just makes it worse.
Anyhow, I have 2 slipped disc in neck and disc bulge. I also have a slipped acromion which impinges my tendon in shoulder with tenonytis. I also have sciatica with a partial rupture in lower back.
I am in alot of pain and the doctors say theres nothing to do about it that im just going to hurt for a “long” time but they dont know how long
anyhow, I stopped taking pain pills because after you take them for 7 months you feel like a walking zombie.
physical therapy hasnt helped at all. I get alittle better and then a whole lot worse then I have to start all over again.
Anybody been through something like this?
Ideas to control the pain? I am going nuts with so many sleepless nights.
