not too sure if this belongs here but here goes...

generally every night i get pains in my left side, pains that make me vomit and have really bad headaches and its also making me not get much sleep as i am up in pain and vomiting etc.

my question is because i use the hot water bottle quite a bit, i have burnt myself several times and mainly around where i have stretch marks. i have scars on my back and on my stomach frin where i have burnt myself, when i put deep heat cream on to help with the pain, it actually stings to put it on. should i be putting on this cream? my stomach has lots of stretch marks but they arent very visible. however over the last few weeks, i have noticed my left side is becomming more visible as thats where the pain occurs.

not sure if this makes sense as on the phone while typing but yeah...

Anything that stings to apply - I wouldn't be using it.

Are you looking at better ways to deal with your pain other than (too hot) hot water bottles? It sounds like the home treatments are causing further damage.

i have been to the hospital so many times and same with doctors. nobody can tell me what is causing this pain and i have had it for 2yrs or so and its just getting worse. the hot water bottle and deep heat cream helps with the pain to some degree.
