Interesting, I would have thought morphine being far stronger considering you can get codeine/acetaminophen tablets OTC in Canada.

I'll go with the assumption you're talking the DIJs of the hand.
You might try some exercises. Go slow, stop if you notice pain or any worsening of your baseline pain. Would also recommend talking with a PT or doc before attempting.
Otherwise, the only other option besides splinting is surgery. Both surgery and splinting have similar long-term outcomes.

First knuckle of the pointer finger on my dominant hand. I refused to set up a tarp shelter, due to explicit warnings in the instructions, despite the insistence of my boss and his boss, and caught the damn thing wihth the aforementioned joint when it blew away. It’s pretty fucked up.
I suffered a very specific trauma to that joint.

This pain, one of them anyway started right after I had the infusion of corticosteroids several years ago. it gets worse and worse and now is double over in pain bad. Right side abdomen from just below belly button sweeping up and off to the side just above where the rib cage stops. I've had multiple test, including multiple sonagrams or whatever they call it.
I guess the best way to describe the location is if you put your right hand where the fingertips touch your belly button and then pull it back about 2" or such. It's gotten really worse the last few days. Isn't changed by if I just ate or not, just went to the bathroom or anything else.

Has anyone experienced a good amount of pain and visible red inflammation in their mouth at the outer side of a molar, at the high side of the root? The tooth itself doesn't hurt at all, but the gum around the root itself is incredibly sensitive and looks several shades of red darker than the rest of my mouth. I only just discovered it by touching it, and it only hurts with contact. But, I've been having some eye strain and a slight bit of a headache on that side of my face the last two days. There's nothing that has occurred that suggest an injury.
Could be, but I can't imagine why or how it would have gotten infected. It almost feels like the gum separated a bit from the bone and is moving around more than it should.
I have a dentist appoint in a few weeks anyway so I won't worry about it unless it gets worse.

It'll probably work itself out within a week. For better or worse.
Without pics it's not really possible to tell. And don't post gnarly gum pics. A little bit of something could have lodged between the gum and the tooth, wormed its way into a crevice, played host to a entreprenurial colony, and triggered the inflammation that you're experiencing.
You could even get red pepper powder and dab it around the area. It shouldn't hurt. I mean as in pain. It won't do any harm. Anti inflammatory and random bacteria tend not to like capsasin.

Eh. You may just have gallstones. I'm assuming you meant you've had multiple ultrasounds, lol. What they need to be doing is a CT scan. Really tough to say though. How's your diet?
@Dom Get a course of antibiotics. You definitely don't want rheumatic fever and infective endocarditis.

I've had multipe of those ultrasounds I guess they are called. Nothing. The pain has been in the same spot now for 5.5 years and has been growing the last few weeks. I'm not sure if the spinal MRI would catch it or not. I've had multiple of those.
It moves back and forth in that area. It's not a pain of right here this is. This area and it moves around in that area about the size of 2 hands.

Well, it usually moves, no? I’m fairly sure there’s a talented young woman who bulge like this doing her thing too. Anyway, hard to say without clinical exam / US / CT. Could be cutan, like VZV (if so, get the vaccination for 50+ yo’s), organ related, or perhaps spinal collaps/peripheal nerve dysfunction of a sort. Who knows.
