Back Issues :: Chest, Arm And Upper Back Pain
I am 29 and Female. I have been under a great deal of stress lately. I have been having some minor health problems that cause my mind to go to that dark place. I am having very irregular periods and GERD/Gallbladder issues. Also, I am planning a wedding and my mother was just diagnosed with Lung cancer about 2 weeks ago.
My upper back across the "meaty" part of my shoulders has been so tight and painful. If my fiance rubs them, he finds all kinds of trigger points that are so painful to the touch I can't breathe. In the middle of my upper back I feel a sharp pain sometimes. My neck muscles are tight as well as the tops of my arms down to my elbows. On occasion my fingers tingle.
As of the past 2 days I feel a pressure on my chest right below my collar bone. If I yawn I can feel my throat muscles get sore. The very top of my sternum is tender to the touch. It almost feels bruised.
I did a little bit of research and it seems that all of these problems are connected. The scalene muscle group can cause all of these problems. I am going to see a massage therapist on thursday. Hopefully I get some relief.
Another bit of info, I have a desk job. I am at a computer for 10 hours a day. I work 60 + hours a week. I had a chest CT scan with contrast in July and it came back clear. ( unrelated incident ) So I believe I can rule out anything major. The scan is only 3 months old.
My question is; has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do to ease your symptoms? I have tried muscle rub so far. Doesn't help much...I am going to ice the areas today and see if that helps.
STDs :: Tingling / Mild Burning Sensation In My Penis Tip
I slept with a girl 5 days ago and for the last couple of days I've noticed a tingle/ mild burning sensation in my penis tip......I have felt this sensation before sometimes after masturbation but it tends to go after a bit....could this be a STI? Does anyone else experience a similar thing?
I've read a couple of things that say it could be down to the nerves in the penis tip, could that be true?
To be on the safe side I am going to get a STI check up, I am thinking of going the end of next week which would make it about 11 days after my sexual encounter, would this be long enough after the event to show things like chlamydia?

Back :: Diaphragm Pain Which Leads Through To My Upper Back
I have a pain in between my diaphragm which leads through to my upper back, I have had for approximately 3 months but getting worse, if I lie on my stomach it hurts in both front and back. I have read all sorts of things that it might be from hernia to liver/kidney problem and gallstones... I did have a small incident where I strained myself trying to hold a motorbike up from falling down and I guess I have had the problem from then on, if I stretch out sometimes I will hear a click which radiates from the front to the back, if I push in my diaphragm it hurts. I live in a third world country so and worried about going to doctor.

View 3 RepliesSTDs :: Allergy - Tingling Sensation In The Tip Of My Penis
I'm 28 m and I recently had protected sex with a condom with a girl that I know has a very high amount of partners. I usually do not use condoms (This may have been my 5th times or so) since i've had one partner for 9 years prior. The next day i felt a very slight tingling sensation in the tip of my penis. The sex was very short. The next day(2) it was slightly more noticeable and the day after it was definitely more noticeable not going away all day. By the end of day 3 it seemed to spread a bit down the penis along with a very slight discomfort or tingling in the left testicle. In between the anus and penis possibly had a few tingles on day 4. I'm 4 days in and the symptoms have not passed. It came and went the first 2 days periodically and on day 3 and 4 it seems to be more consistent. It seems to build up more before I urinate. Relief goes away after i urinate for a short period time. On the first couple days the relief would last much longer. When i woke up this morning I did not notice it as much and then 20 minutes later it hasn't stopped all day. I do consider myself to be a bit of an anxious person but i do not take any medications or anything. Out of the research i've done i've limited the std to gonorrhea or a possible allergy to the condom. However, I do not have any of the discharge conditions. My penis may have leaked 1 drop here and there over the past couple days of urine but that's it. I do feel the need to go to the bathroom a bit more than usual. Thanks in advance, this is the only time in my life I have had anything like this.

From time to time I feel this burning sensation in breasts (both). Feels like tingling and burning sensation, but doesn’t hurt or anything. I am examining my breast regular and can’t seem to find anything. Does tingling mean anything?
View 2 RepliesSTDs :: No Condom - Light Tingling Sensation In My Genitals / Penis
I just had my first one night stand yesterday morning, around 1am. The girl was gone when I woke up but she left her number, which is cool but when I got up to take a shower I noticed I wasn't wearing a condom. I looked everywhere for the damn thing, and I mean EVERYWHERE. I seriously believe that I didn't put one on. I now have a light tingling sensation in my genitals. I saw my doctor but he says that its too early to tell but took a urine sample and told me to call back for the results in a few days. I also talked to the girl who says she's clean but I don't know
This whole "wait and see" philosophy is really getting to me.
STDs :: Burning Sensation While Urinating And Thick Discharge
i have had this problem for well over a year now after i had a one night stand with a girl. a couple of days after intercourse i noticed a thick cloudy yellowish discharge after urination. i would urinate and pull my pants up thinking i was done then i would feel irritation inside my penis like i had to go again but it even feels like something thick coming through. it doesn't happen every single time but i noticed my urine starting to look very cloudy at times as well. i have a slight burning sensation while i urinate. occasionally after the thick discharge comes out my testicles start to hurt for a while as well but this doesn't happen all the time. i have been back and forth to the doctors, first had a one off dose for chlamydia but no tests were taken and this didn't clear up the problem. i went back and had a urine test done and got given further treatment for chlamydia even though the tests came back negative for both chlamydia and gonorrhea. i didn't finish the second treatment for chlamydia but the symptoms still persisted. i went back once again and got tested for hiv, chlamydia and gonorrhea once again through a swab test and another urine test, all tests came back negative once again but my doctor decided to give me a shot to treat gonorrhea, (cant remember the name of it), which is supposed to kill all bacteria for that disease. that was the last i had been tested and treated for any STD but the symptoms still persist. i was fairly confident that it was either chlamydia or gonorrhea but with all tests coming back negative and no treatment helping, i am starting to worry that this will never be sorted and i will never be cured. i have a partner but i am too scared to even have sex with protection, this is how much it is affecting me.

View 1 RepliesPostherpetic Neuralgia :: Sweating And Upper Back Pain - Shingles?
My 88 year old mother who has dementia has developed odd sensations and pain in her upper back. She's had two bouts of extreme pain which moved around but were in a similar area of her back - lower ribs on left side. The pain lasted only for a day each time and each time I saw what looked like sweat pimples but they were on her upper chest at the front - ie a different place. Now she often feels cold and shivery (when in fact she is hot) and puts more layers on to the point where she starts sweating, feels pain in her upper back and gets very anxious when she gets it (most days in the afternoon/evening). She gets night sweats. Does this sound as if it could be left over from shingles?
View 1 RepliesVitamin D3 Deficiency :: Muscle Pain (mostly Upper Back And Neck)
I've had some blood work done because I was extremely tired and have been for the last couple of months, muscle pain (mostly upper back and neck), headaches, muscle weakness, being emotional (bursting into tears) mostly because extremely tired. digestive issues etc.
Results came back, only thing wrong is D3 level at 6 ng/ml (minimum should be 30). I was prescribed 25000 UI a week for three months. I also sent a mail with the results to my endocrinologist. She says she doesn't think my symptoms come from a vitamin D deficiency. Now I respect the woman a LOT. She has helped me in many ways in the past and she's been the only one to find what was wrong with me years back when I had severe health issues and every other doctor thought I was just "depressed".
I am though very surprised by her answer. I've read of a lot of people having very similar symptoms with vitamin D deficiency, and for most of them the symptoms just flew away when their vitamin D level went back up.
Kidney Stones? Nausea / Vomiting - Upper Back Pain Waves
I have had an achy upper back pain for a few days now. I was attributing it to having slept funny, but now I am thinking it was a warning sign I missed. I woke up at 2am with horrible nausea and sharp pain in my upper left back. It comes in waves and was so severe it brought tears to my eyes. I have had kidney pain from infection in the past and while different I think this pain may be kidney related too. I am trying to find some way to get comfortable enough to sleep since it is the middle of the night and I don't want to wake two sleeping babies and drag them to the ER. I tried calling the nurse helpline provided by my insurance company, but he just told me to try a heating pad and some Tylenol.
I have a lot of prescription pain meds in my medicine cabinet because I have had 2 c sections and another surgery within the last couple years and I hate taking pain meds... I took an oxycodone. That along with a vibrating massage mat under my back seems to be helping with the pain for the moment, but the nausea is even worse now. Any suggestions for that? I just need to make it to morning so I can go to an urgent care clinic. There is no one to watch the babies right now and of course o would get sick on Sunday when my primary care doc is closed.
Undiagnosed Symptoms :: Cramp And Heat Sensation In Back Of Lower Leg
for about a week i have had periodic "heat flashes" in the back of my right leg from the foot to the back of the knee. Not painful, but odd sensation like hot compress being applied. happens 8-10 times a day when i am sitting or standing. Had a severe leg cramp, charlie horse, about 1 1/2 weeks ago so thought symptoms might be related. went to my MD who told me no danger of blood clot (would be very severe pain, swelling, hot to touch). said probably related to leg cramp and advised me to do more walking (i sit in an office chair all day) and to do exercises consisting of pushing left down down as far as it will go for 5 seconds, then arching up for 5 seconds, for 10 times. She likely due to spasms and that hot flash is due to when blood vessels stop dilating (???). I will try this recommendation for one week and will let you know, but I am not very confident that this will work.This discussion is related to Strange feeling of heat in my leg.
View 2 RepliesLower Back :: Electric Current Sensation Triggered By Some Kind Of Movement
Randomly during the day, triggered by some kind of movement I will get a sort of electric current sensation always starting in my lower back and spreading to my arms and legs. Never above the neck. Sometimes only the left side of my body, sometimes only the right side. I could also describe it as the feeling you get when you cut circulation off your arm from sleeping on it wrong, and when you wake up and move it so that the blood flows freely again, that kind of numb tingling you get. It kinda feels like that throughout my whole body. It usually last about 30 seconds and can happen several times a day. Anybody with any ideas? this has been going on for years, and has become more frequent.
View 4 RepliesLyme Disease :: Small Flat Dark Brown Tick On The Back Of My Upper Thigh
I found a small flat dark brown tick on the back of my upper thigh on 7/22. I went to see a doctor at MedExpress and she told me that the tick was engorged and that she believed that it could be a deer tick. We estimated that the tick had been on me for over 72 hours based on the time I was in wooded areas. As a precaution she put me on 200mg daily of doxycycline. I have been tracking the bite via pictures and there appears to be a bulls eye forming but I may just be paranoid. I know several people who have Lyme disease with varying forms of diligence for care. I have seen how it can ravage a person's body and mind. I want to make sure I am doing everything I possible can to help myself. What, if anything should I be doing from here?
