what is wrong with my back?

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:51:11 +0000

I am a 50 year old woman who started having pain on the right side of my back suddenly about 3 years ago. At that time the doctor took x-rays and said it was probably arthritis. Also there are lumps in the area where it hurts, but she and the second doctor I went to said it was fat deposits? I have tried to be a trooper, but it is hurting so much now that I am in tears and can’t sleep. The pain is constant and then if I move a certain way it is excruciating. I never had any back trouble before in my life. I can’t sleep because I can’t find a comfortable position to get in that won’t hurt my back. I have taken every over the counter medicine there is and nothing is helping at all. I can’t believe this is just arthritis, it is so painful. My doctor asks me to move certain ways and lift my legs but it doesn’t hurt then. I can’t really predict when that excruciating pain is going to hit, but it is often when I am getting out of bed or trying to get in or out of the car. The pain does not shoot down my leg or cause any numbness (I wish it did). I just don’t believe this could be arthritis. I have not injured it in any way. At first my first doctor gave me vitamin D and that did seem to help for awhile. Any ideas what this could be or what I should do? I am not getting any relief and I am so worn out. Dr. did order some blood tests which will be back Monday, but I don’t know what for.
Thanks for any help. Also it hurts just to stand for more than 10 or 15 minutes.

admin — Thu, 03 May 2012 18:50:38 +0000

i have been on a gluten free diet for 6 months before they tested me. when they tested me for ciliac they tested for raynodes because my hands and feet at always cold and purple/ blue/ orenge. and when they worm up my hands and feet burn. besides my hands and feet my knees turn the same color along with my nose. also why testing for both if thoes arthritis is the same kind of test so they tested for it. i do have joint pain in my ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbow and wrist and sometime my fingers and toes.

How ever with all the symptoms i have for what ever all they tested for came back all negative.
have you had this prob?
what could it passably be?

ps: the doctors did tell me to stay on the gf diet. but then i asked them about the other things and they didnt answer they wanted to get other medical things with me figured out

What could this bump on my back be?

admin — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:51:40 +0000

About 3 weeks ago I felt this bump on my back but I thought it was just a figment of my imagination. But 3 weeks later I still feel it. So today I asked my mom to feel for it and she said yes that she did feel it. It’s not an obvious bump but it can be felt. It is also soft but I am not if the bump is what is hurting or my juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (it hurts where the bump is and were it is not). It is like on the right side of my spine upper back it’s about 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches. I had to get an x-ray of my spine yesterday (because I have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and it is really acting up so they wanted an x-ray, they also did a ton of blood tests they took like 10 things of blood) so if there is something it would show, right? If it makes a difference I am 14 (15 in a month), a girl, and on a bunch of meds for my JRA. So what do you think it is? Also I am going to bring it up at my next doctors appointment. Thanks for the help in advance!
Oh and also I have been stuck in bed for 7 weeks from the JRA pain if that helps.

Back To School 2011- Trends, Makeup, & Hair Advice?

admin — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:51:14 +0000

I’m going in to grade seven (I’m in middle school, the grades are 6-8). I do wear make up, and in grade 6 my makeup routine was; concealer, powder, black liquid eyeliner on my upper lid and mascara. This year I’m living closer to the school so I can sleep in more and not be rushed and stuff, my bus will probably come at about 7:55, 8:00 (our school starts at 8:30), anyways what I’m trying to say is: I’ll have time to put on eyeshadow and stuff . Now, don’t think I’m to young to know anything about makeup because I’ve been wear makeup since I was like 7 or 8. When I grow up I want to be an esthetician. I’m already doing peoples makeup for special events and stuff. I also need to know about clothes (I live in Canada, so it is often cold out here), Last year I mostly wore skinny jeans and a sweater and my UGG’s. But I don’t know if it looked bad on me or something because I have a disease (Juvenile Arthritis) and the medicine I had to take made me fat and stuff. Anyways yeah, and then hair styles and stuff. So, please help!!!!!!!!!

Help me. I crack everything…as in cracking my knuckles, wrists, ankles, back. How do I stop?

admin — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 22:50:23 +0000

I know it’s bad. And sometimes it does hurt, but it’s almost like I feel a sort of relief afterward. Is this a psychological thing? Is it even all that bad? Will I get arthritis? I drink TONS of milk. I just dont like that I pop/crack all the time. It’s annoying.

In really bad back pain through pregnancy please help?

admin — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:49:51 +0000

if there are any midwives or doctors on here some advice would be appriciated. Im now 24 weeks pregnant although my bump isn’t that big yet because i had quite large breasts before and now there bigger its really affecting my back, I cant even do my usual day to day activities. The cold weather seems to just be making it worse. I went to the doctors last week that basically laughed at me, saying its all caused by pregnancy,and give me strong paracetamol and arthritis pain relief cream which worked like a charm for a week, now Im back in pain no matter how many I take..I dont want to go back to the doctors because he would not give me anything else. ALthough i have an appointment with my midwife on Wednesday, if I tell her how I’m feeling does anyone know if she’ll be able to prescribe something. It is really getting me down now, im starting to sleep as much as I can just so I can cope, but still feeling very depressed. I don’t know what to do please help if you can, thanks in advance
