When you first get braces on, your teeth will hurt or you may be in some amount of discomfort for several weeks. After about a month, it is better. In a few months, you may even forget that you are wearing them. Within 3 months you will be able to eat almost anything you like. In six months, you might even be biting into hard cookies, chips, and crusty bread once again. Eat these things in moderation and always be careful. See similar questions...

Some of the adjustments your orthodontist may make to your braces may make your mouth feel sore or uncomfortable. When needed, over-the-counter pain relievers like Motrin or Tylenol can help relieve the pain. If you always experience a lot of pain after your braces are adjusted, talk to your orthodontist about it; he or she may be able to make the adjustments a bit differently. See similar questions...

This is a good question and it is not an easy one to answer because there are so many variables to consider. For example, your age, your weight, how long you have put up with the discomfort, ( the longer you leave a problem sometimes the harder it is to get rid of it.) and not to forget the types of footwear that you wear can be a contributing to your discomfort.

Depending on what operation was done, a varying amount of pain or discomfort may continue for several weeks afterwards as the healing process continues and scarring continues to heal.

My response is that even though this is minimally invasive and involves the use of small incisions and a lighted scope, there is some discomfort following the surery.

After a few days I have had many patients tell me that they have had no pain whatsoever. See similar questions...

The first priority is the care and well being of the baby. Stem cell extraction is very safe because the blood is collected after the cord has been separated from your baby. Neither you nor your baby will feel anything since this procedure is only done after the cord has been detached. The only thing you will feel is the blood sample drawn from you for the purposes of maternal blood testing. See similar questions...

Use the sitz bath to keep the area hydrated the first week or so, as instructed by the nurses at the hospital. Use a "ring" or orthopedic inner tube to sit on or a pillow under your hips when lying on your back. Sometimes, intermittent application of ice initially helps to reduce the pain and swelling.

Yes. Stress seems to be related to both back and neck pain, especially pain in the upper back and neck area. When a person is under stress the upper back and neck muscles will contract involuntarily. It's as if these muscles are lifting weights all day long and eventually they wear out and become painful. Learning to relax helps to avoid this problem as does exercise. See similar questions...

The intervertebral disc is a gelatinous-like filled structure, which acts as a cushion to separate the vertebrae of the spine. The intervertebral disc has a tough outer cover called the annulus. Sometimes the integrity of the annulus is disrupted allowing for the change in the shape or contour of the disc. The disc material can protrude away from the normal contour of the disc and cause pain. Injury to the disc can cause pain in three different ways. See similar questions...

Occasionally, a woman will experience some discomfort when using the Softcup®. If the discomfort occurs right after inserting the Cup, it may be inserted incorrectly (see question on "fit"), or it may actually be too large. If so, it will protrude slightly from the vaginal opening. If you normally experience menstrual cramps, the Cup will probably not change the cramping that you experience. A small percentage of women may experience more menstrual cramping while wearing the Cup. See similar questions...
