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?

I have had the worst pain in the right side right above my hip bone for two months. The doctors seem to think it is muscular because they check out my appendix gallbladder and kidneys. They are worried though because i am done to eatting one meal a day and constatly am sleeping when i can. Although they did check mono htey said it came back negative. Tomorrow March 3 will be exactly 3 months from when it happened.
I am currently in physical therapy which is not helping at all it often makes it worse. It has been getting so bad i cant even lift certain things. I am afriad to find out it is my appendix because i have so many friends that have had the same problems as me and then a few months later had emergency surgery for them. I sorta of want to go to the doctor again and find out but i really dont know what else they will tell me to do.
I have already had 2 ultrasounds a ct and 3 blood tests oh and a few urine tests. I want to know whats wrong because it is starting to interfer with my daily life.
Do you have any ideas on what it could be ? (acute appendictis?)
My little brother is in his junior year of high school, and was supposed to be starting wide reciever this year. He had letters as a freshman, but during his sophomore season he began getting a bad pain in his right side. He finished out the season playing less and less with each game. The doctors first said that it was an enlarged liver from when he took a hit to the side. He said the pain would go away within a few weeks. Well it didn’t. So we saw another doctor who diagnosed him with the side stitch. My brother performed the physical therapy and all of the techniques used, but still nothing helped. Since the end of last season (December 2007) he has been diagnosed with enlarged liver, stitches, gallbladder problems, twisted testicle, too much grease and weak abdomen muscles. He took a few months off, rested his side and eventually went back to spring ball where the pain instantly started again, worse than ever before. He has been through 2 acupunctures and still nothing. Deep tissue massages and nothing. He has had multiple X-Rays, an MRI, a Cat Scan, etc. This is very, very frustrating as he isn’t allowed to step onto a football field until he gets fixed. We’re losing optimism every passing day. Does anyone have ANY idea?
I am 6′2″ 215lbs and have what would be considered “Flat feet” ( I do not use Orthodics, never have). I have had MRI’s (arthrogram/Regular), x-rays, physical therapy, etc and nothing has worked and no one seems to know anything. Here are the details, if I rotate my hip out and in a circular motion I will get a click or crunch sound deep in my hip. When I am running, at the onset of hard acceleration my hip flexor or groin area will pop or snap, causing pain deep inside and basically stop me from accelerating. This will happen every time I accelerate hard. I would say the area of pain is located about 4-5 inches down and an inch and a half inwards from the front point of my hip that you can feel (4-5 inches to the right of bellybutton and an inch or so down) on my right right leg. It seems to happen less when I keep my abs flexed real hard and if I warm up and stretch for 20-30 minutes before this accelerating, but it still happens either way. I also experience deep pain in that area when performing the butterfly stretch. Its not the normal stretch type of pain.
I am wondering if I had some injurt that led to this? Someone mentioned an inguinal hernia before? How do you find out if you have one? I am I play a lot of sports and I can not play as hard or as aggressive bc of this injury. Any help would be appreciated.
So I really dont know where to start.Im not quite sure if the pain started before or after i broke my right fibula. But now i constantly have a slight lower back pain only on the right side. I can be sitting and it hurts but standing hurts more. I went to physical therapy and did a lot of stretching for a few months and it got better a little. And it does feel tight so wen i stretch it does feel better. HERE is the WEIRD PART. Whenever i have to use the restroom #2 the pain acts up even more or it tightens up even more and stretching really has no affect on it. After I use the restroom however the pain lessens significantly and then the stretches do have affect. Does anyone know what may be causing this?
For the past three weeks every time I’m reading, writing or focusing on something for more than a few seconds [basically anything that needs a little concentration], my eyes get blurry – but then if I blink a few times or just wait a few seconds my eyes go back to normal. It’s like when you look through a camera that has to be manually adjusted and the picture is out of focus. The longest it’s ever lasted is six seconds. Normally it’s less than three though.
There have been no changes in my diet, no weight loss or gain, no difference in my health since this started. I was in a bad car accident in May – but all surgeries, physical therapies and rehab have already been completed. I am still on pain medications, but only take them rarely.
I’ve had a cat scan and an MRI [since my doctor tends to over test for everything =D Not saying it's a bad thing - just saying]. Nothing has show up. I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this and what it ended up being? Or any suggestions on what it could be – if anything?
Please don’t tell me to see a doctor. I know that Y!A is in no way a substitute for a doctor or actual diagnosis, I’m just trying to get an idea as to what this is or why it’s happening. Also, as I mentioned, I have seen a doctor.
Thanks. =D
I am 31 and a while ago I was hit by a car and luckily only suffered a broken arm. I went for physical therapy after it healed to get range of motion back and I remembered being in a lot of pain. I can’t really explain it except it seemed to be in my elbow down my arm starting from from my shoulder from the back n even hurts my neck too. I told the DR he gave me pills and eventually it went away. It didn’t hurt for a really long time until just two weeks ago.
I had a pretty bad ear infection & eye infection that developed from an untreated sinus infection. I was home sick for a week and all of a sudden I wake up and have that same pain in my arm, shoulder and neck again. My mom said it sounds like bursitis. It goes away if I take Advil and not Tylenol. It feels much better after a hot shower too. Some days it hurts worse than other days. Some days I don’t even notice it at all! Other days the pain is so bad I don’t know what to do with myself that I have to walk back and forth and pace because the pain is so intense. I guess it gets aggravated by lifting too much or playing games and doing work on the computer. Now I kinda want to avoid going to the DR at least in hopes that it will subside again on it’s own. I have had the pain for two weeks now.
I just don’t know what could have made whatever this is flair up again. It didn’t bother me for so long, something to do with being sick? Or maybe the anti-biotics I was on? I was on three different ones. Also that day I woke up with it feeling stiff and sore, I cleaned out my closet lifted an AC and other things. Think maybe that contributed to it?
What does this sound like to you?

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
