I know people who take diazepam for anxiety take like 40 mg a day so I know my pain didn’t go away because I was calmed down. So I was wondering because diazepam is a muscle relaxant did that have anything to do with it?

Usually i pop some aspirin or ibuprofen or acetaminophen and sometimes they help. But usually barely helps at all. But i took this tramadol and it completely knocked out the pain. How can i ask for this pill without looking like a druggy trying to get my fix?

This is a pain I’ve had off and on for years and was originally diagnosed at Patellafemoral Syndrome. It flared up again about 8 weeks ago and then about 6 weeks ago, the same pain flared up in my right knee. About 2 weeks ago, I started to get the same severe pain in my left wrist. The doctor has me on an anti-inflamatory, Tylenol 3 at night and Tramadol during the day. The anti-inflamatory does nothing for the pain. The Tylenol 3 does help me sleep a little better, but is otherwise ineffective against the pain and the Tramadol does make the pain more manageable, but I am still unable to stand up or sit down with out using my hands and arms to support my weight (by the way, I am 5’9″ and about 160lbs-well within what is normal and healthy). It is impossible for me to put weight on either of my knees and now my left wrist without severe consequences. I have had tests rule out rheumatoid arthritis and gout as well and my x-ray looked clean. My doctor does not believe it is arthritis-related, but does not seem to have any other leads. Is anyone out there familiar with a non-arthritic joint pain that spreads rather rapidly from joint to joint? I am not extremely active and have not suffered any recent injuries nor have any of my lifestyle habbits or eating habbits changes. I am just at a loss as to where to go next and am tired of being in pain and being doped up on narcotics that work only minimally. I am extremely frustrated. Please help…thanks!
In response to the first answer, I know that it is not PFS due to the fact that it is now in my other knee and the doctor ruled that out. Also, PFS doesn’t explain how it is happening in my left wrist as well. But thanks so much for the response!

The joint feels all stiff and if I squeeze the sides of the finger joint I can feel the tenderness right in my joint. I am only 18 years old but is it possible this is arthritis pain? I iced the finger and nothing happened, I used a heating pad and still nothing. I even used that active on stuff and the joint was aching so im at a loss here as to what I can do.

They started, I think, when I was 5 and still continue to this day. I don’t have the pain all the time, and it’s not always in both knees. I am overweight now, but I wasn’t until a few years ago. Also, when I bend my knees, they crunch. I’ve gone to more than my share of doctors about this and no one can tell me what it is for sure or how it can be treated, if possible. Any ideas?
