Depression can cause you to experience physical pain.  It is possible you need a medication adjustment.  Maybe this site will help you.\n\nhttp://www.depressionhurts.com/index.jsp\n\nIt is also possible that you may have bursitis or something similar.  I would suggest you ask your Doctor for an MRI of your shoulders.\n\nSomething else to consider...I had severe shoulder pain which was actually caused by degenerating discs in my neck and it took 2 Doctors and several tests to figure this out.\n\nHope this helps a little.  Good luck and God Bless!  :)

check with your doctor to see if there is any obvious issues, they can then refer you to a specialist. get your feet (gait) checked out to see if it may be something with the way you walk that's throwing something off. it also depends whether the pain is caused by a chronic problem or if u just hurt it and it never healed properly. Furthermore it also depends on whether its a bone-joint issue or if its a muscle issue.

Odds are good you are under a lot of stress. Many people carry their tension in their upper shoulders and neck. I would suggest that you should see a chiropractor or massage therapist.

You should definitely see a doctor to have an MRI and and x-ray.  In the interim, you may want to consider tyring a supplement like Glucosamine & Chondroitin.  I have used this in the past and it has helped the pain in my shoulder.  Then, at some point, the pain just went away.  Go figure.

Causes and Risks: \nThe cause of the disease is unknown. It usually affects people of Mediterranean ancestry. Symptoms usually begin between 5 and 15 years old. Inflammation in the lining of the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, or joints occurs. Painful, red swelling of the legs occurs in one-fourth of the affected people. Attacks may vary in severity of symptoms, and people are usually symptom free between attacks. \n\nPrevention: \nThere is no known way to prevent this disorder. \n\nSymptoms: \n\nfever or alternating chills and fever (relapsing) \nabdominal pain \nchest pain that occurs repeatedly (recurrent) \nabdominal pain that is recurrent or with similar pain in past \njoint pain that occurs repeatedly (recurrent) \nhip pain , knee pain , ankle pain , foot pain , pain over the small joints of the foot, shoulder pain , elbow pain , wrist pain , hand pain, pain over the small joints of the hand, or pain in other joints \n\nred, painful, swollen lower legs (excluding joints) \n\n\nSigns and Tests: \nThere is no specific test to diagnose this disease. Elimination of other possible diseases by laboratory tests or X-rays will help determine the diagnosis. \n\nTreatment: \nThe treatment is symptomatic and supportive. A low-fat diet may reduce the number and severity of attacks. The medication colchicine may also reduce the attacks. \n\nPrognosis: \nThe attacks usually run their course without treatment. No medicine to cure the disorder is available. \n\nComplications: \nDiscomfort is the primary complication. \n\nCall Your Healthcare Provider: \nCall your health care provider if symptoms develop (to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms).

Your shoulder subluxed and you may have irritated some of the nerves.  The nerves would have had a traction force upon them which can cause some of your symptoms.  Rarely, one of the nerves can be pinched as the shoulder relocates.\n\nYou should get it x-rayed to make sure nothing serious happened and that the shoulder went back into the correct position and that you didn't cause trauma to any of the other joints or structures in the area.  In the meantime, keep icing it and taking antiinflammatory medication, i.e. Advil.  Try not to use it either - no riding the bike again just yet!

Go and see your doctor. The pain could be resulting from injury, misuse, or if you're older, arthritis. In all these cases, you should see your doctor so he can prescribe a pain med. If it hurts too much to even get to the doctor's office, take a Tylenol or ibuprofen.

Talk honestly to your doctor.  This is something that is actually pretty common and they know how to deal with it in different ways.\n\nIt happens because of the body's natural chemistry when you take pain medication for an extended period of time.  Your body just becomes accustomes to it.  It's not a personal fault or weakness.

I don't know the details of your back pain (e.g. duration, history of trauma, your age, gender), so i can't tell what's wrong with it. Hope this helps.\n\nUsually, tingling sensation, numbness, pins and needles and burning sensation are signs of neurological problems.\n\nIn your case, i think it is your back pain that is causing the problem. Maybe you are having a disc prolapse that is compressing on the spinal nerve. This can lead to the signs described above at various locations of the leg, depending on which nerve the prolapsed disc is compressing. Example, if the signs are located at the lateral (outer) side of the thigh, then it is caused by compression of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh.\n\nConsult your doctor if you have any doubt. They are the professional. I'm not.

Raynaud's comes to mind.  There is no such thing as growing pains.  You may have Rheumatoid Arthritis.  See a doctor. You need lab work and x-rays.

There are several reasons for leg pain, it could be muscular (like standing for too long), injury to your leg, or venous/arterial insuffiency (lack of blood flow) caused by narrowing/obstruction of your blood vessels.   \n\nIf you think it's muscular, take pain killers if it's not contraindicated... ibuprofen usually helps. And make it a habit to rest or elevate your legs 45 degrees to improve circulation.\n\nIf you're not sure, consult a doctor about your condition because any form of pain you're experiencing is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong and you need to do something about it.\n\nFrom your description, it sounds like sciatica but please see your doctor.

The leg pain may be caused by nerve damage from the chemotherapy.  Some of the vinca alkaloids such as vincristine can cause some neuropathy or nerve pain.  Please discuss the pain with your doctor.  You may need to have your medications adjusted or have the pain analyzed.  The pain can also be due to varied causes such as muscle spasms, cancer metastasis, or blood clots.  Only a medical evaluation can properly diagnose the cause and treatment.  Best wishes.

Personally, I have had Fibro since I was 16 and am now almost 36. I have seen more doctors over the years than I can count from Neurologists to Rhuematologists to Chiropractors to Psychiatrists to Pain Specialists. In my experience pain medications do not work. A muscle relaxant is much more helpful. I have also tried biofeedback, steroid shots, trigger point injections, two sleep studies, nerve blocks, accupuncture, foot braces, wrist braces, carpal tunnel release surguries, and so much more. All just torture and I felt like a guinea pig.\n\nMy best advise is to take a good muscle relaxant (I take Zanaflex), make sure to get plenty of sleep, take a multiple vitamin, remember you are what you eat, keep active in at least low impact sports, and consider Magnesium and Malic Acid supplements (consult the doctor or a nutritionist to have your Magnesuim level checked- it is a simpe mouth swab and not painful), meditation does help some in keeping the pain back if you can seperate your mind from the pain, and try to take 2-3 warm Epson Salt baths a week (Epson salt contains Magnesium and soaking in a warm tub of it helps to get the mineral into the body. Magnesium aids the muscles in using oxygen and when the level is low which is typical in Fibro it can cause are cramps, spasms, and pain.) \nAlso, Fibromyalgia is a neurotransmitter disorder and certain foods can trigger similiar symptoms to Fibro. Try eliminating Monsodium Glutamate from your diet. I did and some of my symptoms (chronic headaches and nausea) went away. It is in everything from Doritos to chicken soup. A few key finding's of an FDA study found MSG to cause a "burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest". Otherwise, learn your limits and pace yourself.\nThere, unfortunately is no current cure.\n\n\nA study explains why we feel so much pain...\n\nFibromyalgia pain, isn't all in patients' heads new brain study finds. \nJune 7, 2002 \nfMRI scans give first objective measure of mysterious ailment, provide road map for future study\n\nANN ARBOR, MI - A new brain-scan study confirms scientifically what fibromyalgia patients have been telling a skeptical medical community for years: They're really in pain.\n\nIn fact, the study finds, people with fibromyalgia say they feel severe pain, and have measurable pain signals in their brains, from a gentle finger squeeze that barely feels unpleasant to people without the disease. The squeeze's force must be doubled to cause healthy people to feel the same level of pain - and their pain signals show up in different brain areas.\n\nThe results, published in the May issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism, the journal of the American College of Rheumatology, may offer the proof of fibromyalgia's physical roots that many doubtful physicians have sought. It may also open doors for further research on the still-unknown causes of the disease, which affects more than 2 percent of Americans, mainly women.\n\nLead authors Richard Gracely, Ph.D., and Daniel Clauw, M.D., did the study at Georgetown University Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health, but are now continuing the work at the University of Michigan Health System. In an editorial in the same issue, Clauw and U-M rheumatologist Leslie Crofford, M.D., stress the importance of fibromyalgia research and care.\n\nTo correlate subjective pain sensation with objective views of brain signals, the researchers used a super-fast form of MRI brain imaging, called functional MRI or fMRI, on 16 fibromyalgia patients and 16 people without the disease. As a result, they say, the study offers the first objective method for corroborating what fibromyalgia patients report they feel, and what's going on in their brains at the precise moment they feel it. And, it gives researchers a road map of the areas of the brain that are most - and least - active when patients feel pain.\n\n"The fMRI technology gave us a unique opportunity to look at

while I do not have your disorder, I have RA and have to go to rehab every week plus I have to have my knees and shoulder replaced so "I feel your pain" in therapy. First, I sure would discuss with your therapist what you are feeling. It is possible to over do it. If you are in the beginning segment of your knee therapy, some soreness would be normal but you MUST tell your therapist and if they don't listen to you, I would consult with your Physican. The reason I am saying talk to your doctor is that I have known someone whose therapist did more harm than good on his shoulder after he had shoulder surgery. Most therapists are wonderful however, but they should be listening to your concerns of pain and if they don't, remember this is YOUR body and YOU have the right to stop the exercises that are hurting you until you can get another evaluation. Hope your knee feels better soon. It's really a pain, isn't it?

Go to a doctor. Please.\nThey'll tell you exactly what's wrong, and you may have to go to physical therapy... unless it's something more serious.\nBut just trust me on the doctor thing.
