swollen painful throat?

My throat is swollen all the way around and bright red. if I rest for a while the pain is low and i just feel like somthing is caugth in my throat. After moving my head around or talking for a while or swollowing food or drink the swelling gets worse and the pain becomes worse. I have taken several different antibiotics for this and it had been flaring up every few weeks for several months. I have no fever, but I am short of breath, my mind is cloudy and i have pitting edema in my ankles and i am tierd. I have already had mono. I also have psoriatic arthritis and aparently asthma. I have been to two different docotrs about this and both gave me antibiotis after looking at the reddness. I feel like the readness is only a result of the hard time I have swollowing. My voice has changes as a result.

I had surgery in my stomach yesterday and my Dr. prescribed Vicodin 500mg. Well, the vicodin, 500mg, alone, isn’t reliefing my pain. Therefore, I’ve take 2 (two) tablets at a time and again no relief. A friend said that her pharmastis said she could take 1 (one) Ibuprophen with the her Vicoden 750mg. This "cocktail" has helped her often, therefore, my question is: can I take 1 (one) "Aleve ARTHRITIS" 220mg with my Vicodin, 500mg, tablet?

Can anyone help with sudden throbbing hip pain?

OK, Im going to give a little history first, so here it goes.
Im a 32 yr old mom. I already have a diagnosis of Ostioarthritis, and degen. disk disease. I had surgery on my left shoulder because of sudden onset of severe pain and immobility, doc. removed a lot of inflammation and a bone spur along with some of the arthritis he found in there. Didnt help. in the mean time the same sudden pain happened in my right shoulder, still living with that. Among a couple of other problems. Now, today I was standing doing the dishes and my hip began to throb inside the joint, severe pain but it feels just a little different then my shoulders and back especailly considering i have pin and needle feeling running up and down my leg. I cant get comfortable, I can sit, stand or even lay down to get any relief. I have already taken pain medication and it isnt helping…anyone with any ideas PLEASE.

Im 23.
When I was 10 my family doctor said that I Might have Juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
But we moved after that first appointment, and I have never gone back to the doc sice.
In both of my knees, left mostly, and both shoulders, right mostly, I have always had really bad pain. And sweelling in my knees.

Sometimes it worse then others, and sometimes I dont even notice it.
Its just always been there. Mildly inhibiting. Im a rock climber, and Im a fairly active guy.
I have 2 kids, 3 and 7 months and
Im just curious, cause im getting older ya know.

I dont have most of the Symptoms.. Aside from pain. and Im not a real big guy. I try to gain weight, and Iv never been able to.
Im 125 tops, and im 5′6.
Iv always just figured I had a high metabolism, and Im real a really active guy.
But I hate doctors and dont generally go.. Ever..
