Pleurisy :: Sharp Chest Pains

I woke up in early January with sharp chest pains. I'm young, but of course I did not discount heart ailments. Two ER trips and a Doctor later, after every medical test to my poor body, I have been diagnosed with pleurisy.

I have kids, they are great and understanding and have helped me a lot, but it's been almost 14 weeks. I hurt. This came from nothing, I am extraordinarily healthy, I just hurt.

Today I suppose I'm at my wits end. I am terribly healthy, I should not have this. I have been crying all day.

Recurring Stabbing Pain In Back - Sciatica?

I have had the typical sciatica for years on and off nothing debilitating so I am familiar w/the pain in the buttocks and moved down the leg etc but this is different so if anyone has had this please let me know I'm so confused...a month ago I actually went to ER w/pain behind my thigh that felt like I was being stabbed...then it would stop and come back 10-12 seconds later lasting about 2-3 seconds and VERY painful did this consistently for 6 hrs and disappeared as fast as it came! GONE for 1 month until this past Sat started again altho not as constant ..until the past hr I have had it every 30 seconds and I cannot fig out what causes it ...or what it is ..the ER gave me Valium and my reg Dr said take magnesium altho my levels were within range. I almost feels like I was tasered or stabbed (have really never experienced either but seems like that's what it would feel like) so do you think this could be sciatica?

Shooting Stabbing Spasms In Left Side Of Back And Leg

I started last week noticing shooting leg and butt pain went to Chiropractor and seemed fine.

Then about 2 days ago went into bad wicked leg cramp(left side of body)and very bad stabbing back pain .

went to dr who says it's pinched she has me on cyclobenzaprine aka Flexeril hcl 10 mg 2 per day I took it at 4pm and Tramadol hcl 50i took at 6pm mg every 6 hrs have done that today plus bath/heat pad , icy hot spray, mineral ice and cold ice pack, everything I've done seems to make it worst or just not help . The heat and cold treatments seem to make it worst and aggravate the pain into cramp like symptoms

Wondering how normal that is have tossed out back before and muscle relaxers put me to sleep and make it go away this isn't even helping. I find laying painful standing walking are near in possible and extremely painful to the point it makes me want to cry literately like a throbbing stabbing pain ,sitting seems to be better then laying but not buy much.

unsure how to describe this part but when walking what little bit I do back has a odd pop sensation and leg and back starts to spasm to the point i can't put weight on leg or move.

Wondering if anyone has any home treatments or advice.

As i find this can't be normal after that many pills to feel still worse then when I went to the doctor. i'm in central time so pills are still hrs away from me taking more

Pleurisy :: Pregnant 7 Months - Pain In My Right Chest And Back

I was just recently diagnosed with pleurisy after spending hours running through every test imaginable. I am also pregnant, 7 months, with my second child. I have never felt a pain like this before. The pain is in my right chest and back; at first I was tested for gallbladder problems and that came out clear. I was sent to the ER for further testing where they did extensive blood work ups, chest x-ray, tested for reflux and finally a cat scan. When everything came back clear, they diagnosed it as pleurisy and sent me home with a pain killer. Unfortunately, the pain got worse and I was readmitted to the ER by my OB for more testing. Again everything was clear, this time they were given the green light to give me ibuprofen but only for 3 days with a follow up visit to my OB on day 3 to make sure the baby was alright. So far, the ibuprofen is helping considerably. I hope I never have to suffer through this again. I found the information provided here about pleurisy very helpful especially since I had never even heard of it before this happened.

Headache :: Primary Stabbing Headaches With Fibromyalgia

I've been suffering from these for some time and they've recently become worse.  I also had migraine headaches in my youth and now occasionally have silent migraines - aura, but no headache.  I've recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I understand that this type of headache is common with fibro.  I wondered if others have suffered from this and what, if any, medication has been tried.

Chest Pain :: Sharp Stabbing Accompanied By Hot Flashes And Nausea


Secondly, I'm here because I'm concerned about chest pain I've been having for the past 3 days, even though my PCP examined me and sent me home with instructions to get rest, fluids, and take extra iron tabs for the next couple days (I appeared anemic but my level was in the normal range).

So when the pain began it was sharp stabbing accompanied by hot flashes and nausea and lightheadedness. Since then, it has been a consistent, sometimes worse sometimes better, feeling like someone is pressing on or squeezing my chest, and today the pain was radiating into my left arm, and both hands were tingling. I also have off and on indigestion, lightheadedness, and constantly feel like I CAN'T BREATHE despite no congestion or any cold symptoms or anything.

The other thing is, I've been absolutely exhausted since this began. Like, I can barely walk to the bathroom and back. And have taken 5 hour naps every day since Thursday and otherwise have barely left the couch.

I just don't think I can go on like this another day, but I don't know what else to do! My resting EKG was normal. Although my PCP did say I would benefit from an echo because I have a preexisting diastolic murmur.

Hello I have tarsal tunnel syndrome which was diagnosed by a nerve conduction test. I go back to see my foot and ankle surgeon in three weeks

Does anyone else have this syndrome? If so how was it treated. So far all i know is mine is caused by bruising and possibly a fracture of an old injury.

The stabbing pain i get is at times is unbearable lasts only for a few seconds its like someone has stabbed me in the foot with a hot sharp blade and electrocuted at the same time. Also have tingling in my feet muscle spasms leading up to my knee all the time but more noticeable with online in bed at night.

How Long Does Pleurisy Last?

I'm 19 years old and every summer for 4 years i've been working with my brother in law painting houses (for the most I wore a mask while painting) a year ago I graduated from high school and decided to keep working in the painting business also on december I started smoking, I wasn't a heavy smoker maybe 12 cigarettes a week on may I reduced the amount to 6 a week then 3 on may 27 I smoked my last cigarette and 3 days later I went to the ER because I had pressure on my chest ,back pain, and I was coughing,(I also experience night sweats) they took some xrays and everything was clear and I was diagnosed with pleurisy well it's been a month now and I'm still experiencing the same symptoms.

How long does pleurisy last?

Could it be lung cancer? Or is it just the nicotine withdrawals combine with the infection that's causing all this symptoms.
