Then my upper left thigh started to hurt to the point where it hurts to take a step or even bend my leg. I look like a girl when i walk and I have school tomorrow, what can i do to releive this pain?
Sounds as if you have a problem with your walking gait. It happens. We have a injury say to our knee and it is painful, so what we do is not to put all the weight on that sore knee, thereby throwing the hips out of alignment along with the spine. Then we get used to walking like this and next we know the muscles in the lower back and thigh start to hurt and we end up in a vicious circle, imbalance and pain, correct posture and pain, misalignment and pain. So you need to see a Podiatrist and get your upright walking stance seen to. Best of Luck
PS, did you know that too much walking can cause the muscles in our legs to tighten and that pulls the hips out of place, which then pulls the spine out of place.
Thanks
Yes, there are a number of ones that help with back pain but you have to be careful and check with your doctor before taking them because they can disrupt medications you may be taking …….. devil’s claw, white willow bark, menthol and camphor, ginger root, arthcare oil, shallaki, and ashwangda …….. = )
I have been having sharp pain in my lower right back and abdomen for about two days now. It hurts with movement and especially when I sit down or stand up. I’m also feeling light headed and dizzy at times. I’m just wondering what could be the cause and if I should or shouldn’t go to a doctor.
Do you have a fever? I would suggest having your doctor paged and asking them if you need to go to the ER. If the pain is severe go to the hospital.
If you are about two weeks from your period it could also be ovulation pain and if it burns during urination it might be a bladder infection. I’ve had plenty of those.
Either way, you need to see a doctor.
Good luck!!
Appendicitis Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staff
Signs and symptoms of appendicitis may include:
* Aching pain that begins around your navel and often shifts to your lower right abdomen
* Pain that becomes sharper over several hours
* Tenderness that occurs when you apply pressure to your lower right abdomen
* Sharp pain in your lower right abdomen that occurs when the area is pressed on and then the pressure is quickly released (rebound tenderness)
* Pain that worsens if you cough, walk or make other jarring movements
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Loss of appetite
* Low-grade fever
* Constipation
* Inability to pass gas
* Diarrhea
* Abdominal swelling
The location of your pain may vary, depending on your age and the position of your appendix. Young children or pregnant women, especially, may have appendicitis pain in different places.
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with a doctor if you or your child experiences signs or symptoms that worry you. Abdominal pain so severe that a person is unable to sit still or find a comfortable position requires immediate medical attention.

Have you been suffering from chronic upper back pain for at least the last three months? Have you been unable to treat your pain with the usual over the counter pain medication? Is your upper back pain starting to greatly affect your life? If you’ve gone for a check up and they couldn’t find anything wrong with you, go back for a second opinion and have yourself checked for Fibromyalgia upper back pain.
The upper back is one of the common areas that a person with Fibromyalgia can experience chronic pain. Since the cause and cure for Fibromyalgia remain uncertain, a person suffering from this syndrome may benefit from a combination of mainstream and alternative treatment to tackle different possible sources of the pain.
The uncertainty around the cause of Fibromyalgia back pain can be very frustrating and sometimes, at the height of the pain and a really bad day, it can all seem get a bit overwhelming, however, it is important to remain positive. While this can prove to be quite a challenge, it is not impossible.
Know that research and studies continue so that medical practitioners can understand the syndrome better. Eventually a prevention method and proper treatment will be found. In fact trials are currently underway for a specific treatment aimed at fibromyalgia pain and hopefully a FDA approved medication will be available next year. In the meantime, there are methods available that can help to reduce pain.
If your particular problem is centered on your upper back pain, you will need to take stock of the activities in a typical day that may add to the stress placed on your upper back. For instance if your work day consists of sitting in front of the computer all day in a non ergonomic chair then discuss your problem with your boss and find ways together on how to improve your work situation to be able to accommodate your upper back pain.
Outside of the office, it would be beneficial to engage in regular exercise. Exercise is an excellent way to target upper back pain as it helps to strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine and releases endorphins that act as natural pain reducers.
One can also combine mild physical exercises with physical therapy for even better results. You can join a group or get a personal physical therapist to help alleviate your back pain. They will normally give you specific exercises aimed at strengthening your back muscles. Try, if you can, to find someone with experience in dealing with chronic pain; your doctor maybe able to give you a referral.
Aside from mild exercise and physical therapy, you can also help alleviate
back pain with the help of therapeutic massages. Some fibromyalgia sufferers find massage too painful, however, if you can manage it the deep tissue manipulation can help relax the area of pain as well as help relax the rest of the body to promote an over all better feeling.
Of course, while targeting your back pain it pays to think about your condition as a whole. So, putting a healthy and balanced diet in place is advised, along with drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol, tobacco and other stimulants like caffeine and sugar.
Fibromyalgia upper back pain can become all consuming and chronic pain of any kind can become extremely tiring and wearing. Speak to you doctor about what medications might help, make necessary a lifestyle changes that accommodates your situation and introducing some specific back exercises may bring some much need relief.

TMD often undiagnosed and untreated
Can you imagine having to puree your food in a blender before eating? That was an everyday occurrence for one of my patients who suffered from temporomandibular joint dysfunction, also known as TMJ, TMD or TMJD.
