I am 26 yrs old and have been dealing with this for over a year and 1/2. I have been to 3 cardiologists who have confirmed that is not related to my heart. 3 card. and 5 other docs i have seen stated that it could be costochonditis but should have cleared after 6 months by being on roids and anti-inflammation meds. I have had EKGs, xrays, MRIs and stress tests, blood tests, urine tests all have come back negative. I have been through physical therapy as well. I am just 40 lbs overweight is what i am told each time. I have changed my eating habits, excercise by walking more.I am currently taking lyrica, robaxin, savella still feel pain and sometimes have really bad flares up that will take everything out of me.I am at a lost and the pain is taking over my life. I am miserable

I just started physical therapy today. The physical therapist was pressing so hard into my stomach muscle, that I have his fingernail marks in my skin. Is this normal?
a couple months ago I went to physical therapy for my knees, because they hurt. They hurt in two places, ausgoood slaughter, and the side of my knee. The ausgoood slaughter is fine, but the side of my knee hurts alot whenever i begin to run, whether Im running for exercise, or for a sport, and I dont want to run through pain. The therapist told me to exercise my side hip muscles and stretch the muscle opposite the quad (below the quad). I am also doing ball squats for about 2-3 minutes, and after I finnish that its fairly hard to walk, idk if its because my quads hurt, or the exercise hurt my knee. I REALLY NEED HELP, im going to a sleep away soccer camp in about a month and a half, and I dont want my knees aching the whole time? Please… what should I do???
I am a 26 y/o Female in average health, no major health problems. About 8 months ago I started having left sided back, flank (between my pelvic bone and ribs) and over to my abdomen near my belly button. Pain comes and goes throughout the day and feels like it is swelling. My back and flank are VERY tender – there is a spot in the flank that if I push on, it feels like I have ‘hit the spot’. Any idea what this could be? I do have a history of back injury in the same area about a year prior but had been treated with physical therapy and had been OK. I have had two CT scans, first without contrast showed nothing, second with contrast showed “minimal diverticular changes” and “slightly prominent mesentric lymph nodes”…had a course of strong antibiotics but this did not effect the pain at all. Lymph nodes worry me. Have a colonoscopy scheduled for next week. I almost wonder if it might be a nerve or muscular problem instead? Anyone have any insight at all on this?
I had been having pain/tingling in my left leg all the way to my foot so I seen the doctor and he did an mri and they diagnosed me with a bulging disc in my lower back and prescribed physical therapy. I havnt had my first appt yet but this morning I woke up and my left leg doesnt hurt but now my right leg hurts all the way to my foot. Does anyone know if this is normal with a bulging disc or could it be a sign that things are getting worse/better?
seem to find out what is causing this. I have had an ex-ray on my hip and nothing, even no arthtitis,I had a cat scan done on my abdomen because the pain also centers on the lower part of my abdomen. I had a hystrectomy when I was 35. So a few weks ago I had a MRI done which showed degenerative disk but not enough to have the pain I have .So I;m nowhere. I suffer from my hip at night, I can no stand or sit for any lenghth of time .I’ve taken pills for pain , depression. I’ve been to a chiropractor who helped many years ago but deosn’t anymore. They say Physical therapy but i walk 20 min everyday and it just brings it on more. anyadvice for LOST IN PAIN
I have had this pain for 8 years now with no relief from doctors. I have been told that I have nerve damage and I am considered partially disabled. With pain that is stopping me from getting back in to the work force. I have been denied disability because I am partially disable. I am at my wits end, is there any help out there for people partial disability’s to get some type of relief from chronic pain and help finding a job for persons with physical disabilities. When you have been told from vocational rehab the reason people with disabilities don’t get jobs is that the tell they have one. I do have one that impaires my life forever and I am not considered to be disable but I can’t get get relief from pain or find sutible work. It is getting to the point I wonder if i am better off dead…..really it has been a hard 8 years trying to survive with kids and not be able to provide for them like you use to before my auto accident……Help is needed Please
Pain On My Lower Left Back?
Feb 20
i have a pain on my lower left back. It was hurtin me a few weeks ago and my school trainers sent me to physical therapy and from there they sent me to an orthopeadic and thats when i found out i had scoliosis so they transfer me to a spine specialist. the doctor said the pain on my lower back has nothing to do with it. my parents didn’t really belive him so we look for a second opinion and the second doctor said that because i have a double curve scoliosis the bond might be hitting on to my muscle tats why is hurting…
which one should i believe?? or is there another reason?
Pain In My Lower Back With Pain Going Down My Left Leg In Deperate Need Of Possible Answers!?
Feb 18
Hi UM this is my first time really using one of these for this type of thing but i am in a desperate need of a possible answer about 4 weeks ago i started having a severe back pain that landed me right in the emergency room upon my x-ray they told me it was a possibly compression fracture! so another 2 weeks went by i had a ct scan done and they told me they cold see nothing visibly wrong with my back but doctor gave her prognosis as being compressed nerves from the L1 down and that i should go on a diet and start physical therapy because of my height but some how i don’t think that is what is going on the pain radiates up and down my spine and then it shoots down into my leg i just would like to know if there is ne one out there who may have or known someone who may have had this or something similar to it that could give advice or help it would be greatly appreciated
Ok here’s the deal, I’m 23 years old (I’ll be 24 this December) and I had an MRI about a month ago, found out that I have a herniated disc in my lower back. Here’s my problem, I’ve always had back pain but it’s just never been this severe and I use to always see the chiropractor. I’m just upset since this is my 3rd week off of work, the pain is still in my hips down into my left leg, sometimes my left toes and at night when I try to sleep the pain is just 10x more severe. I don’t want surgery this young in my life, physical therapy seems to make it hurt worse and I don’t really know any other at home remedies? Anyone else have this problem with some suggestions? I tried putting the vinegar into my bathwater to drawl the pain out but now I’m itching like crazy since I forgot I’m allergic to vinegar. Forgot to mention, I have a heating blanket I sleep on at night but even with it being on the lowest setting sometimes it still gets too hot. I tried the IcyHot and that only lasts for so long. Plus the doctor gave me percosets (oxycodine) and I don’t like taking them unless I just hurt that bad which is why I’m on here trying to find an alternative. Help, please?
