Avatar f tn He took me off that when he found out that I had been taking valium. I am down to 10 mgs of valium now but my back pain is horrible, my right leg and arm are tingling and numb but the doctor says he won't let me start physical therapy untill I'm off them completely. He says the drug is clouding my pain and probably increasing the pain.

Avatar n tn t know for sure but i am newly diagnosed and i have been having neck pain for about 3 weeks.. i have never had neck pain before. it started on one side then went to the other and now all over. i used heating pad and took tons of motrin. non worked and then my husband gave me a muscle relaxer. i never take anything like this and i am super sensitive to medications. i took half and had a great deal of relief.!! it is great. it may come back but help for short term.
Avatar f tn Chronic neck pain is difficult to treat. You describe everything you sould have with neck pain, cracking, popping, difficulty sleeping. You really need to back to the doctor and start over if he dosen't respond to this then maybe find another docotor.

Avatar f tn Well, I only made it through the head MRI and I had to get out because I was in SO much pain laying still on my back. The neck piece was pushing right on my neck where all my pain is. It hurt soooo bad, I was crying in the tube! I had to have them take me out. :( Has this happened to anyone else? I am going to go try again in a week, with valium and oxycontin. If that doesn't work, they'll have to IV sedate me.
Avatar m tn s been about 70 days now off the meds and I have multiple symptoms, headaches, ringing in my ears, neck and shoulder pain, facial and tooth pain. My body is trying to get back to normal, but everything seems so very odd, dream like at times. I've spoken to my PCP and she just said it's WD, no tests or anything. I have chest pains and my heart pounds in my chest. My BP is up and they listened to my heart, but said it's OK.
Avatar m tn t matter if brushing my teeth,rinsing dishes, folding towels,typing,writing,driving everything makes me have the nerve pain. I am taking 800 mg ibuprofen 2 times daily and sometimes a Valium at night to relax neck and help me sleep. My neurologist prescribed me Gabapentin 600 twice daily but I'm very sensitive to medication so I'm very scared to take this with all the side effects. Can someone please give me some advice.
Avatar f tn but then find myself wanting to take more and more throughout the day. i have terrible pain in my neck from several car accidents with whiplash injury. i have tried other things like massage, chiropractic, with no relief. i was also prescribed valium for the muscle relaxant which i have been not using due to the pregnancy. My last visit my ob said i can use the valium if i need to so i can get some sleep at night. i do want to quit taking them also but am afraid of the withdrawal symptoms.

Avatar f tn Over the last four years I've had pain and numbness in my left arm. A couple weeks ago, I moved in a strange way and my feet and entire left arm went numb. They've done nerve tests that came back normal, my x-rays are normal, although my spine is slightly curved. I keep having pain from my neck to my tail bone and through my left arm. They can't seem to figure out why. Any ideas? I'm on gabapentin and valium which help some but physical therapy hurts more than anything.
Avatar f tn I had need surgery in April of 2011. I had a discectomy surgery at C4-C6 levels with infusion, but still have the neck pain can this be from my recent report. I need answers.

1044526 tn?1254514545 I have this awful pain in the back of my neck, and base of my skull on the right side. The pain radiates to the top of my head, and sometimes to my shoulder area. Is this a common symptom of ms? I have other symptoms.....slight numbness in my left leg, and my left hand.....Dizziness (the other morning I woke up to the room spinning so bad that I had to throw up).
Avatar n tn I was put on valium to withdraw from zopliclone sleep aid used for neck pain. Valium worked so well that my Dr. thought it would be fine for me to stay at such a small dosage 1.7 mg a night. I know that sounds so low but I am very drug sensitive and get 4 x the dosage out of most meds. I have been on the Valium for 5 months now and this past month I was very aware of increasing anxiety, unable to sleep, depression. When I begin to read about Valium I was quite distressed to see that my Dr.
Avatar f tn I have had the same surgery done in Aug 07. I am still bothered with headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain and arm pain. And recently the numbness is returning. I cannot get the the insurance company to approve an injection of the facet joint, so I have been living on hydrocodone three times a day and not being able to do much of anything. Now I have to see the neurosurgeon again and I am afraid they will not refill my prescription for pain meds even though I cannot be seen until June 4th.
1100837 tn?1267668675 Hello everyone. On March 31, 2010, I underwent an ACDF. Pain management was challenging bc I have such adverse reactions to most narcotics. After trying a battery of pain meds I was sent home on methodone (5 mg) and Valium (5 mg) and Zofran (4 mg) for nausea, three days later on April 3rd. (Let me add, I live alone and it took my insurance company 21 days to approve a Home Health Aide.
Avatar n tn They are both antidepressants, and I do know I need them. Also take 600mg of neurotin x 3 daily for nerve pain. I am a chronic pain sufferor and I did detox off norco's last February. Am dealing with the pain with motrin and still occasionaly dealing with the cravings which are lessoning as the months pass.
Avatar m tn ) medications used include metaxalone, valium and ibuprofen. stiffness has remained constant, w/ a reduced ROM when flexing my neck laterally. I also occasionally experience shooting pain up the left side of my neck when i rotate my head in that direction. Neck remains inflamed and "cracks" often. only other pain has been in my right elbow and stiffness radiates to rhomboids. Due for an MRI in two days to rule out herniation, etc. any input would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn Family dr could not get me in till following week, so I returned to the ER clinic where I was instructed the same and given KFlex for possible infection of lymphnodes and Valium as a muscle relaxer. Three days later the neck pain improved, however the pain centered deep in inner ear and directly below ear in jaw line. Headaches continued so I was finally able to see NP with dr's office. She advised no ear infection and gave me a nose spray.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend has been having jaw pain for almost a year now, and it is now causing tooth sensitivity, and neck pain which is also causing facial numbness. He's seen 2 dentists, a physician and 2 chiropractors and all anyone has done is prescribed valium and prescription-strength ibuprofin, as well as a custom-fitted nightguard.
Avatar m tn Well after a while, the low back pain went to neck pain, giving me headaches (which are the worst) and then thoracic pain. It was really bad but through chiropractic, anti-inflammatories, rolphing, massage, inversion, injections, PT (to name a few) it is doing much better but still constantly hurts in the thoracic area.
Avatar f tn I didn't have too much pain, and no valium...good luck. Thyroidectomy is pretty easy as surgery goes...felt fine after a day, was up walking two miles three days after. No real pain, no complications, and I had the surgery twice.

487889 tn?1232887189 I may have asked this before, but I am having a terrible time with stiffness in my neck the past three days. Is this something that comes along with MS? I have had it before off and on. It just feels like the sides of my neck are on a drawstring and somebody's pulling it tight. It's making me very uncomfortable and irritable. Any ideas?
