Avatar m tn Spinal stenosis can cause a lot of nerve pain (burning throughout the low back into the hips, pulsating throb and achiness in the low back and hips, shooting pain and pins and needles sensation that runs through the buttocks and hips and down one or both legs). Nerve pain is best treated with anti-convulsants and SNRI/SSRI anti-depressants. Neurontin (generic: Gabapentin) or Lyrica (generic: NA) and Cymbalta (generic: NA) are good medications to try to help with this pain.
Avatar n tn Hi, Do you have low back pain or back pain near your shoulder blades? I assume it should be back pain near shoulder blades as you also having symptom in right arm. All these symptoms are related to spinal disc pathology at cervical region. It could be also due to nerve compression at the cervical region level. You should be consulting an orthopaedician at the earliest and get imaging study done to see for any pathology. Keep me posted. Bye.
Avatar n tn So now my symptoms have progressed to Shortness of breath, chest hurting, left and right ribcage hurting, dull achey pain in upper back, electrifying sharp pain in left side of my back, lightheadedness. I have stopped doing daily exercise because my lungs get sore very easily, and listening to loud bass in my car is effecting them now very easily. I recently had 3 drinks at a baseball game and had that terrible pinching pain at my left ribcage for 2 days after.
Avatar f tn And is there any evidence that taking anti-depression medication reduces the symptoms from having chronic back pain? I have been taking these meds for a short duration now and find that I seem to feel alittle bit better when taking them. Maybe mentially anyway.
Avatar n tn It started at the base of my spine and spread through my buttocks, it just about never goes away. I take Cymbalta to trat the depression and pain from it, it works!
Avatar f tn Your years of untreated chronic pain, are the reasons for your depression and insomnia. If you do not recieve pain management and get your pain under control and lower your stress, I cannot help you." So here I am, does a formor addict deserve to be in pain for the rest of their lives? Our family's concerns more important than quality of life? Should I spend the next 50 years in pain, unable to enjoy life because I might disappoint someone?

Avatar n tn I have had back pain for the last 8 years and had a disc fusion in L5-S1 2 years ago. The surgeon discovered that I didn't really have a disc left. I am 28 years old. During the first year after surgery, my pain was getting better and I really felt like I was finally going to get some relief. About a year after surgery my pain started getting worse and worse again. It appears the disc above the fusion is now bulging, but it seems like there has to be more.
Avatar m tn all the symptoms you experiencing like joint pain, stiff neck, back pain all related to over medication on levothyroxine. if doctor is not ready to lower the dose change the doctor.
Avatar m tn My vision is also a bit funny and blurry sometimes and I also get a ringing sensation in my ears and this is often accompanied by a pain in the back of my neck. Im also tired all the time and never have any energy. Im a 23 year old female and im at a loss to figure out why i should be feeling like this. I feel that a woman in her 70's sometimes. Im clueless as to if these symptoms could be linked and im sick of going to the doctor with no answers.
Avatar f tn Is there any connection between abdominal discomfort/pain and low vitamin D? I recently had blood work and a ultrasound on my abdomen. I have to wait for my follow-up appointment for my results but I'm curious if aside from muscle pain, back pain, fatige, anxiety, depression. It also causes diffuse abdominal pain.
Avatar m tn s my big problem -- I have a lot of chronic pain - back, joints, migraines -- and need relief. The pain pills make it more manageable, but unfortunately I also use the pain as an excuse to use the overuse the pills for my depression and anxiety...
Avatar m tn ve been clean. Hence my original problem. Norco= limited pain and depression. No norco = pain and minimal depression. I think. 4 days seems hardly fair to come to a conclusion.
Avatar f tn They have received special training in various ways to lessen your pain and get you back on your feet. My second suggestion is to get a Pain Psychologist. Ask your Pain Management Physician (PMP) for a referral or recommendation. She should know of several therapists who will be able to help your depression. Chronic pain and depression go hand in hand. It seems we can't get away from it. But we can get both conditions treated. So PLEASE get out of the house and go to a PMP.
Avatar f tn Can those be symptoms of anxiety and depression? Can constant popping, clicking and cracking joints with pain really be a symptoms of anxiety and depression? I am just so scared that their is something else causing my symptoms? @Mammo-you're right. I'm letting my life pass me by and I'm wasting it worrying about my health. I just do not know how to make all of these symptoms go away and get my life back. I just don't know what to do. I have no where to turn.
Avatar f tn I am sorry to hear you are suffering. I have RA, too, and I know what you mean about longing to enjoy things and be pain free. We all hope for remission and in the mean time have to find a way to come to terms with our pain and limitations. There are a lot of different drugs out there to help with pain and inflammation and it sounds to me like you need to ask your doctor about exploring them.

209591 tn?1267414714 Hey, I know how depresion is. From The sound of it you're having some really bad depression. Chronic pain can deffinately cause depression. I have RSD and other problems that cause me a lot of pain. They cause some depression problems for me. If you are in a lot of pain all the time and it isn't being treated good enough it can deffinately cause some SERIOUS depression problems. That's the story of my life. Also stopping some medications can cause depression.
2206935 tn?1373638605 re taking meds for the depression/anxiety and the pain started after you started the meds, be sure to ask your doc if the discomfort could be from the medication. Not all meds 'agree' with each individual and it's sometimes necessary to vary medications.
