I have severe pain in my neck and hands, rated at a ten on the pain scale. I take Lyrica for Fibromyalgia but it doesn't seem to help this pain. I also punctured my index finger on a rusty saw on Christmas eve, cleaned it, and applied an antibiotic and a bandage. There are no signs of infection. Should I be worried about tetanus, and what should I do about the pain?

I tried a .25 Fentanyl patch for chronic pain relief and it did nothing. The doctor increased it to .50, but I experienced extreme nausea, dizziness, and weakness, which lasted all day. Is there an in-between dosage that would work, and would these symptoms lessen over time? Are there any other pain patches that might work for my complex regional pain syndrome?

I have had a persistent cough since before Thanksgiving, which worsened and led me to visit the emergency room. My doctor referred me to a pulmonologist, who ruled out asthma and suggested the cough is due to severe acid reflux. Over the Christmas holiday, I experienced sudden, severe pain that required frequent Tylenol, which resolved quickly. This pain involved my jaw, neck, shoulder blades, and upper back, primarily on the right side. The cough has lessened but now causes tightness in my chest when I walk or lift. Despite multiple doctor visits, no underlying cause has been found. Why do I keep experiencing this pain?
