I went to the er on tuesday thinking that I had a kidney stone. They did a CAT scan and determined that I ruptured an ovarian cyst. I have been having a type of pulling feeling on the side of the cyst along with nausea and a persistent achey feeling (kind of like when you get a cold or the flu). Is this normal? Thank you.

My mom just had spinal surgery on her neck, including disk c7. Since she has woke up her neck is extended back, like she cant relax it. It is bowed backwards and her chin is pointed more towards the ceiling. Its very painful. They did an x ray and cat scan and can’t see any problems. The surgeon said this is not common and he is going to try to find out what was wrong this morning, but he didn’t come back yet. I can’t find anything online about post operative hyper extension. She has been like this for four days. Please help!
Not sure about muscle spasm, they have given her muscle relaxers and they didn’t help

My wife is a petite woman of 34 years who was rear-ended a week before our wedding. The damage to the vehicle was not very much but she was at a full stop and hit by a larger truck.

Since this accident (Ten Months) she has experienced horrible pain in her neck and back, we cant golf or scuba or do anything we’ve come to enjoy together.

Her Symptoms are:
1. Severe Migraine Headaches, Pain in Left Ear, Left Head
2. Extreeme Neck Pain, Mid Back (Near Shoulder Blade)
3. Disabling Lower Back Pain
4. Numbness in Left arm and Hand

Shes had a brain scan, two MRIs and Xray ion Lower back. MRIs and CAT Scan of Head yielded nothing. MRI of lower back indicates buldge of the L4-L5.

In the past ten months she has underwent the following treatment.
1. Accupunture (1 times per week)
2. Physical Therepy (1-3 Times Per Week)
3. Massage Therapy (Every other week)

She is afriad of Chiropractors in the way I fear spiders. How can she find peace from pain?
Malingering? Wifely Duties? Definately not! I’ve known her for many years, I’ve seen this strong athletic woman reduced to sobbing desparation. I need medical advice, idiots need not respond.

My mom has had 3 hernia surgeries in the last 4 years, and she’s had her appendix and gal bladder taken out. About 6 months ago she started having severe pains in her lower abdomen, and she’s been to her doctor, she’s had a cat scan, and several other tests, and they’ve showed nothing. So she had an appointment with a surgeon today, and he says she has a pinched nerve, and she could have shots or try to loose some weight (but he dosen’t think that would really help), and sent her home. So I wanted to know if anyone else has had this happen, and if so, what did you do?

Had surgury on june 1st of this year and i’m still in pain. My c5-c6 disc was bulging and laying on my nerve. My right hand and arm is still numb and tingling. I just had an emg done on my right arm and the nerve test came out fine. I’m tired of pain! Still i haven’t been able to work since December of last year and i filed for ssd and was denied and now i appealed it. I can’t survive like this- financially,physically and emotionaly!
Yes, I’m still going to therapy. So far i;ve had almost 20 session since surgery.
My after surgery cat scan showed that my cervical fusion was not fused yet. The doctor says its typical since i’m in my 50′s and i can’t bounce back like a 19 year old.

My son was sent to the hospital by ambulance, where they did a CAT scan, many xrays, and an EKG. He was sent home with perscriptions and told to see his doctor in 3 – 5 days. He went to his doc, and still has neck and back pain and fluid on his right knee….translation…more dr’s apts and more meds. My son is 22 years old, just out of the Marines with plans to go to college in the fall…he has a part time job that does not come with sick leave, so every day he misses is out of pocket.
A few facts: My son was not at fault (was not ticketed for any violation)
The other auto/driver thought it was a 4-way stop and pulled out in front of him. Also he was in a company pickup, so is a company insurance we are working with.

I guess my question is, will he recieve a settlement from the insurance company? Do we need to get a lawyer, or is it too soon to know? When should we get a lawyer if we need to?

Thanks for your help.
