Does anyone else have chronic right heel pain?

Trying to get by but becoming increasingly UNBEARABLE. Have arthritis pain all over body. Have tramadol but it makes me sleepy and cannot take while working. Anybody know of anything to help get this pain to a manageable level? Tried glucosamine and chondroitin in the past only to throw it up within 30 minutes. I have a really sensitive stomach. ARGH!!!!! ...

Hi all, I am asking for prayers from my fellow MTs out there. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease over a year ago still undergoing treatment. It has been a long road to recovery, but my finances are in shambles right now. I lost my job typing because of my inability to concentrate and incorrect work constantly. I went from $700.00 weekly down to $400.00 and still could not do that level of work. Now I cannot apply for unemployment as I was an IC. My husban ...

I found out today that the ultrasounds of my legs last week showed "reflux" in the veins and a possible DVT. I was measured today for compression stockings in a thickness of 20-30 mm. I've never worn compression stockings (even though they were prescribed for me years ago) because I've heard they're next to impossible to put on. And they're hot. Well, I went ahead and ordered some Jobst silicone band stockings with open toes, knee high. Also, I&# ...

Indiana Michigan Power has requested permission from the state to raise overall electric rates 14 percent due to the environmental mandates placed by the EPA. "All electric utility providers, including I&M, are facing “a multitude of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations” that include rules to cut emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides as well as rules to control coal ash handling and disposal, and to regulate water usage and discharge from power p ...

Hey, m'lovely MT sisters, I suspect I have bursitis in my right shoulder. It started as pain in my right arm biceps area and I had an odd rash in the area, so to be honest I was afraid it might have been shingles (never had them, but heard they're very painful). Ladies, it's been about 6 weeks and it's still freakling painful, but I believe I was wrong on precisely where the pain was originating. I believe it's emanating at my right shoulder joint. I&# ...

hey guys, I've only be typing for over a year and my hips bug me all the time! its not my chair and its not the way I sit, i've had this checked on...I do get up regularly and try to stand for a little bit, walk to the bathroom, get a snack, etc. Any suggestions for exercises? I usually get a massage too, its a sacrifice (money wise) but it totally helps. She's given me some exercises too but i feel I just need some more...She usually jabs her elbow into my hips and it relieves th ...

I have been an MT/QA for 24 years. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, have had bilateral carpal tunnel release, and I have cervical impingement. I tried a new product called Evolv enhanced water beverage which has a formula called Archaea Active. It claims to "promote a healthy inflammatory response." Honestly, I was skeptical about it, but I am here to testify that this is truly a Godsend!! It was explained to me that it increases oxygen at the cellular level and ...

For the last couple weeks, whenever I go to bed, if I am on my back or side, I awaken several times with pain in my right calf and knee, if I turn on my stomach it goes away. The first couple hours I am up in the morning it is painful, cannot put my right leg over my left, cannot cross my leg to put on my shoes because it immediately causes a sharp pain to shoot through my leg. Cannot bend over because of the same. After moving around about two hours it is okay pretty much the ...

You guys probably don't remember but I'm the person who posted about hip/butt pain a few months back. Doc said it was bursitis, took no xrays or anything just said that was what it was. Well fast forward to today. i have been jogging lately...went jogging and got home and the pain in my hip was terrible. sitting is ok but moving hurts. I sneezed just now and my hip hurt. Any idea what it could be? This is different from the butt/back side of my hip p ...

Do you ever wonder why the gas prices are up and down? There is still about the same amount of gas out there (although it is a finite resouce that is going away) and we are still using about the same, more or less, with our more efficient vehicles. The price fluctuates because the Wall Street traders can make it fluctuate. They do this so they can make money. In 2008, (Bush Administration, by the way) the prices were over $4.00 a gallon. The Obama administratio ...

Hi. I actually have a health question related to transcribing! I've transcribed for over 25 years and have had no problems other than tight neck and shoulders; no hand, wrist or arm pain. Recently my company changed from cassettes to digital, so I'm using a sllightly different type of food pedal. I can't believe this would make a difference, but I don't know what else could cause this problem ... shin pain. Firs ...

Does anyone else get leg cramping/aching while they type?? I used to get them when I started and then it went away, but lately its been getting me again especially in my upper outer thigh. Its not so much an instant leg cramp sensation, just more of a achy feeling (like if you're on a plane) that does go away after I stand up. Any suggestions?? ...

I'm once again having wrist pain in my dominant hand which is worse at the end of my shift. I took a week off to completely rest it and it helps, but it still hurts whenever I most my thumb, at the base into the top of the radius. Does anyone have this problem? I had carpal tunnel surgery 10 years ago, but don't have the same numbness as I did before that surgery. I tried switching my mouse to the left hand, but it still hurts especially whenever I use the space ...

I participated in water aerobics and about a week later woke up with a painful boob and this has been going on for about 4-5 days. So, I'm thinking I pulled something. Never had this before. Now, I am obese so the boobs are more like jugs. Aso for the past month I have been taking those raspberry ketone pills as seen on Doc Oz, and noticed they were working, with a loss of tummy fat and my boops-while they did not shrink-they more like 'emptied ou ...

Hi all, For the last 2 years or so I have been suffering from right inner ankle pain. It has progressively gotten more and more painful. I have had x-rays and it shows nothing is wrong. I am pretty sure it's has to be posterior tibialis tendinitis, but now it's starting on the left ankle. When I rotate my right ankle in a circle, I can feel a popping sensation that doesn't really feel like it's bone, but it is so terribly sore. I wondered if may ...

Have been told by orthopod that I have bone-on-bone in my right knee. He suggested surgery and gave me Tramadol for the pain. Surgery is not an option financially at this time. I have been losing weight in order to take some of the pressure off. I cannot take the Tramadol and work because it makes me sleepy. Cannot take NSAIDs because of the GI side effects. Any suggestions on how to deal? TIA ...

I am curious if anyone has a suggestions for ear pain. I wear the earbuds that sit just inside the ear canal for work.

Well had the first cataract done today. In lots of pain today. I didn't know it would be this bad or I might have reconsidered having it done. Neighbor is putting my drops in though most people I talk with do it themselves. He was adamant. I hope I will be able to do it myself tomorrow. Please pray this pain goes away and the healing comes quickly. Anyway, the anesthesiologist prayed for me before we started. I appreciated that and was quite surprised. I hope I can drive myself p ...

Any suggestions for severe higher back pain? It's around my left shoulder blade and goes into my chest. I've done the heat and ice, hot bath, Advil, Flexeril, and sleeping in different beds in the house. Nothing is working and it is literally killing me. Unfortunately I work for a company with very little work so I can't just up and go to the doctor. Sitting here and working is just too hard when all I want to do is lay down and try to sleep. ...

For the past year, I have had episodes of pain in my right wrist and hand. It will flare up and then subside. I am having a flare up right now.
