I had an accident 3 years ago now, fell out of a deer stand and hurt my back. I have pain everyday but some days like today, it is so bad i can barley move, I cant get ahold of pain killers due to my recent opiate addiction so what else can I do. Ive already done 1 year of physical therapy.

As a soccer player, I have fought shin splints for the last 15 years, however with RICE, they typically go away…..until recently that is. From October – December of 2007, I went for physical therapy which included combinations of ice, heat, massage, ultrasound, stretches, etc. I had some relief for about a month or two, but now the last few months have been agony! No amount of taping, stretching or Aleeve is working.
I only get shin splints when playing soccer. I typically don’t like running (except for soccer) so I walk, bike and use an elliptical or tread climber for exercise. My calves are almost always tight and I have short heel cords. Since I’ve tried all the basics, I’m wondering if anyone has had success with night splints (usually used for plantars fascitis) to treat tight calves. I think if I can correct my tight calves, I may be able to decrease my shin pain. Any advice is welcome.
Also, I have orthodics from a podiatrist and I get massages often.

14 Years Old, Back Pain?
Feb 28
Hi! Im 14 years old and I have been having a lot of back pain mostly in my lower back and then shooting up my spine, so I went to my doctor and had x-rays taken and when they came back I had slight scoliosis. I have to go to physical therapy and my therapist is telling me that another thing that is hurting my back is that I have rounded shoulder blades. When I do some exercises like laying on my stomache and putting my arms straight forward and lifting them, I can barely lift them at all. She tells me that I am very weak. so…my question is do you think this is that big of a deal like doing the exercises or just do you think it is sort of serious????
I’m pretty sure I have a herniated disc. I have been in extreme pain for 11 days now with no sign of improvement. If I bend over or move wrong, it feels like I’m getting shocked by electricity. I mean REALLY shocked, not just tingling. It usually shoots down my legs, but yesterday I had one that made my cheeks tingle. This is the worse pain I have ever felt. I don’t have insurance, but it doesnt matter because I have had back problems in the past where I had physical therapy, so this is considered a pre-existing condition. I don’t want to form a habit of taking painkillers, but right now that seems to be my only option.
what should I expect? I have had chronic pain for 10 years of my sacroiliac joint. I have documented osteoarthritis and bone spurring in this joint. I had tried acupuincture, physical therapy 3 times, chiropactic, medications, and I take lidocaine patches every day.
This feels like my last resort…. what do you think he will do… my PCP is “afaid” to prescribe me real pain meds… but I am living in pain ALL the time and do not feel as if I can have a normal life. I must mention I am only 34 and have had this for 10 years.
What should I expect?
27 yo f. 105 lbs 5′4″ I’ve had a sonogram and docs found nothing. One doc thinks it might be a pushed out muscle, she thinks physical therapy can help push it back in.It looks like an oversized love handle and still growing. It doesn’t hurt when I push on it or when when I walk. It’s a very slight pain, that comes and goes every hour or so. I don’t feel it in my spine, just deep in my left side and nothing I do makes it hurt worse. Should docs look for anything else. One doc told me that it’s just fat! Fat doesn’t freaking hurt and I’m skinnier than most of hollywood! Could it be cysts?
I dislocated my knee a month and a half ago.

I’ve been walking the last few days without my crutches and everythings been fine.
But today there is a very sharp burning pain, like 100 needles, giong in a straight small line at the top of my knee to the inside where it was dislocated.

Is it supposed to be part of healing process?
SHould I stop walking on it?

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.
