Some times, the pain goes off by itself. When I give her massage on her left upper back and neck,she will feel more comfortable and experienced less pain

A. Hi, patrick88 here again.
I would like to informed all friend in here that my wife pain & soreness in her left arm had been treated. She had traditional Thai massage the surprisingly, the problem is solved.

Thanks to all who had answer me on this problem.

Q. Uncomfortable in my left-lower abdomen. But it is not acute or dull pain at all. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable in my lower-left abdomen. I roughly guess it started summer in 2008. Certainly, it's not acute or even dull pain at all. But it makes me very uncomfortable when I sit on the chair. I can feel it by sitting on the chair. Such uncomfortableness seems to reside in somewhere between my left leg and abdomen. It is under my navel, and to the left, extending to the my left flank. Once again, I can sense it by touching something developing (With my fingers, I gently pressed that area and, I realized that there's a difference between pressing on the lower-left abdomen and the lower-right abdomen.) But it is not something swollen, and not a hard thing. I've never had the caecum removed. I'm 40 years old, East asian. I quitted smoking in early 90's. In Octocber, 2008 I found my blood pressure pretty good (I can't remember it, though). My life is quite sedentary (I'm a graduate student.) I guess I spend most of my daily time on the chair. Thanks for any opinion in advance.

A. hi '''i do have the same thing all what i do is keep it higher than my hart and after a lettel time it well come back to normal and i advice you to go see a d'r when you have the rhit time for it.......and happy holly day and happy 2009..lolo21

Q. I have tingless on my left hand and sometimes i feel pain. What do you think about this situation?

A. What type work do you do? Is it something repetative? It sounds to me like you ae beginning to have symptoms of corpal tunnel syndrome, The is where the "tunnel" over nerve in wrist collaspes and makes contact with the nerve( HOW doctor explain to me in his layman words) They do a test where they put electrodes on your fingers and arm and see how the impluses travel If a bad case the do s aurgery called carpal tunnel release. This is usualy under local and I stayed awake and talked to everyone durning precedure. We tried braces at first and PT but for me it ended up in surgery. please see your doctor b/c mine told me if I hadn't put seeing him off for so long wrist braces would have helped.
Good Luck!
