Cracked has given me some faith that asking a medical question on the internet won't fail entirely. Here's hoping this doesn't, you know, do that.
I've had this really annoying but infrequent pain for the past few years. It always begins in the bottom of my jaw, feeling as if nearly all the roots of my bottom teeth are in pain. After a few moments, the pain migrates to between my shoulder blades, most of the pain residing near the spine. The pain usually lasts for at least half an hour, if not hours, and the pain usually increases until it finally stops.
Got any thoughts, florum? I've went to the hospital before about it, but the pain vanished by the time I arrived, and they thought I was an addict trying to get drugs. Someone once suggested it could be a pinched nerve, but I don't know.

Edited by Saxonaxe: 3/23/2013 5:53:27 AMSounds like a nerve-something to me. Origin in the spine that spreads to only the shoulders and above. The problem is that to be pinched-nerve related, you'd have to have multiple pinched to hurt in both shoulders and the jaw. Perhaps one of your vertebrae is pinching down on another, ultimately pinching multiple nerves?

Aliens in my teeth, AIDS, ass cancer, penis cancer, a penis infection, genital worts*3, and marriage.. To say I was disappointed would mean I had invested a good deal of faith in you all in the first place. Still, thanks to those who at least took the time to be clever if unhelpful.

The persistent pain in the neck is usually a symptom of a condition called "marriage". The pain in the jaw is because when she asks if a dress makes her look fat, you don't have enough common sense to shut up. You're welcome.

I am afraid you have an infection on your penis. We will have to amputate.

I think I might have found what I was thinking of . . . "referred pain". Might want to ask a doctor (as in a check-up) about that, and whether it could be a possibility. But never be quick to diagnose yourself from what an idiot tells you on the internet.

Definately sounds like some kind of nerve pain. possibly due to posture. when does it come up?

Edited by VerticalGradient: 3/18/2013 5:36:14 PMI recall something from biology class (and I'll tread lightly here, 'cause I didn't pay much attention this/last term -- in fact I haven't gone to class in 3 weeks and I'm skipping my final 'cause I'll fail anyways), but I recall something about sensory perception, and how some areas/parts of our body (or limbs, I suppose you could say) have "strange" sensory pathways from the location of where the sense perception occurs, in relation to other completely different locations. Which is due to the fact (actually, don't take it as fact 'cause I'm spit-balling here) that different senses, or areas of our body in which sense occurs, are received/registered in similar locations of our brain. So I *think* it's possible for it to sometimes be mixed up? Because from a sensory receptor (wherever in our body, we have so many nerves) travels from that location to the spinal cord, and depending on the kind of feeling, can either be relayed right back to the initial location, or to the brain. I'll try and think about it more. I wish I could find the actual textbook chapter.

You have ass cancer...It's Terminal, I am sorry.

There's a tiny alien living in your tooth. Every now and then it has to run to its food stores, located down your spine, so it hops in its tiny drill machine and drills its way there and back. The only way to get rid of it is to take out the teeth it resides in. Unfortunately, as we don't know which tooth that is, you'll just have to yank them all. I hope you have pliers and a good painkiller. Oh, and I once read a Wikipedia article on dentistry so I know what I'm talking about.
