Talk to the doctor - see if you are satisfied with his explanation.  If you aren't, consult an attorney.

Shouldn't be less than a year, depending on your overall general health.  The shorter the time, the higher the chances of complications, like uterine rupture. VBAC deliveries (vaginal birth after c/s) always hold some risk, but if you are monitored closely, can be possible and rewarding.  There is also less recovery time after vag birth.

Laryngeal edema (swelling of the voicebox) is nothing to fool around with.  Watch her breathing, make sure it is easy and unlabored.  If ANY wheezing occurs call 911 because this can stop her breathing.  A trip to the MD to ensure there hasn't been permanent injury isn't out of the question but if that isn't possible then keep an eye on her for the next 24 hours.  If her breathing remains okay, the rest will heal on its own

Sympathize for had neck surgery awile back for had 2 bad-degenerated discs and the pain was horrible  Go on line and do a search for medical insurance that has no waiting period for preexisting conditions-will not get major medical but there some others out there. Also I'd go to Emergency so at least you can get Pain Medication and some treatment ideas that can help temporarily-a ice pack helps a lot -the kind you keep in the Fridgefreezer-keep on the neck for approx10-15minutes-I always put a thin towel there first so the cold is not so shocking and it still penetrated to nerve and muscles-Have gotten total relief  for that episode-there may also be some mild stretching exercises that take the pressure off the nerve-ask about it. Also since you have no insurance keep your expense down by only having done whats necessary in regards to X-rays and other tests-any X-Rays or test results already done you should get and take with youSince the Emergncy is required by law to treat you they will work out payment over time with you. and the payment cannot interfere with mortgage and  the other bills you already have.  You can also call your Community Serice Board(in the blue pages) and ask abnout CountyState Health Care where you pay according to your salary if its real low income often the health care is free-if it isn't that much less than you'd normally pay then I wouldn't bother for those clinics do not make appts but take in the order people arrive and the waiting rooms are very full-so early in the Am is the best time(involved in therapeutic foster care and became familiar with it)The County Health Clinics also have Dental, Precription Service and also  Mental Health Services.Good Luck at the doctors

No person should have to go through that. There has to be something that can be done for the patient. That does not sound normal, especially after 8 years- that could possibly cause other medical complications if it hasn't already. They should see their physician. If he doesn't help, get a second opinion.

My neck was frozen for twenty years from a car accident and fused vertabrae. I went to an accupuncturist for some chest pain and on the first visit he cured my neck. I can actually turn my head and see behind me now without turning my whole body. It took two more trips to the accupuncturist to fix my chest pains.

I once had something close to your injury.  It hurt to breathe, but I was able to still workout.  Just like you I could only inhale so much air before it hurt.  My chiropractor told me my "rib was out."  I let him adjust me, and it was instantly better.  If you don't believe in chiropractors, then I would definitely follow up with my doctor.  Your lungs need to expand, so breath as much as you can!  I think it is fine to use your arm on that side of your body, but if possible keep the chest wrap on.  Unfortunately for the ribs and surrounding muscles, you have to wait for them to heal.  If your pain is still severe go back to the doctor and make him/her give you something stronger for the pain, and maybe even suggest an MRI???

yes really common - you will have strained either your trapezius or rhomboid muscle \n\ntake ibuprofen and use a warming pad to get it moving \n\nsomeone massaging it might help too\n\nit should settle in about 2-3 days - if not you might need a little manipulation from a chiropractor or therapist

Normally those operations don't have that much risk more that the tend to come back after about a year, unfortunately  :-(\nGet a second opinion from another specialist or try to look it up on the net.

First of all, KimKim that is way too much info.  More than what she is asking.\n\nCall your doctor. I've had 2 lumbar punctures done.  The most important thing is that you have to remain lying down for almost five days and even several hours after it is done. Also drink lots of water. My doc had me laying in the exam room for about five hours afterwards.  They took me out in a wheelchair then put the seat down in the car.  You HAVE to keep your head down.  DO NOT LIFT YOUR HEAD!!!  Even when you get up to go to the rest room, keep your head bent down.  I was even eating my meals laying with my head over the end of the bed and having my food on the floor.  If you raise your head to soon, the air bubble that is created in the spine from where they took out the fluid travels to your brain and creates extreme headaches, nausea, vomiting.

It's probably more annoying than life-threatening.  Sometimes a compressed vertrebral disk or spinal nerve can do this.  You have not described cardiac involvement.  Please don't ask for an online diagnosis and ignore any that you are given.  I suggest you see your health care provider for evaluation.

After one week you should have had more recovery than you have had.  There is a risk of infection with any invasive procedure but from what you say, it doesn't sound like it.  I'm sure you'll mention this when you hear from the doctor and you'll have your answer.

General recovery will be a week or two, but you'll probably be on a "no heavy lifting, no driving" restriction for at least a month, depending upon your doctor

It is impossible to tell you what is wrong without observing you.  Specialized tests such as an X-ray would be the most prudent place to start.  You definitely have an old injury, that may have damaged a ligament which healed with time, but may be stretched out allowing a joint to be unstable.  Now when the joint moves to far, because the ligament isn't tight, a reflex takes place to recruit your muscles to do the job of the ligament.  Now you have sore muscles in the area because they have been trying to hold it all day.  Also, you are at the age that considerable growth is taking place, another reason for the X-ray.  You could be developing scoliosis(abnormal lateral bending of the spine.)  Your heavy chest isn't helping, and with time if left alone without a correction, ie chiropractic or physical therapy it will only get worse.  Your mom is right, the mattress most definitely should be changed, you can't sleep on it forever.  It will give you problems.  And, just sit back and reason with yourself.  Why are you trying to  crack your back, probably because there is a problem there that feels better after doing so.  But, you are getting pain, this means that you should stop and let a professionally trained Doctor like a Chiropractor or Osteopath do it.  They are only going to treat the area that needs it, not everywhere that doesn't.  This way you won't stretch the rest of your ligaments around the other joints, which will ultimately end up giving you more unnecessary problems.  You should not be having this pain at your age, you need to have someone help you and before it gives you a chronic problem that you have to deal with forever.
