It's 3:20am and I haven't been able to sleep all night due to the discomfort of what I thought was a UTI. But In the last hour I've been to the washroom 3 times, and this last time after a serious poop, I had a fair amount of blood on the toilet paper. I think it's coming from my vagina, but I can't be sure. I just finished my period a week ago and am on the pill.

So....is it safe to wait till morning to go to a walk-in clinic, or do I have to brave the ER?

I went to see a chiropractor 2 weeks ago after suffering with a very bad back for 11-12 weeks, (Doctor treating as acute muscle spasm). I have now been told that it's L5 S something and it's either prolapsed or heriated . I am waiting for a NHS, MRI scan and also a private MRI scan (see which ones comes first) I can't have any treatment until I have the results as the chiropractor needs to see if its treatable or operable. Any one had either treatments and have they worked,
many thanks

My husband had colon surgery to remove a large polyp in his lower colon; difficult surgery. Then emergency surgury two weeks later as he wasn't healed and his bowels were leaking inside. Then he got his colostomy bag which was 6 months ago. He lost 32 pounds the first time being in the hospital three weeks. It was rough. I just don't want him to go through so much again yet he wants it off. His doctor said it will be easier but I worry..thanks.

She didn't want to be a part of all of it but was an outsider until she joined in. It wasn't her thing and she quit. Its been 15 years since then and she is 30 now. She just recently found out that her mom is selling and shooting up meth. Is there any advice to help my friend help her mom? There are grand children in the picture and she don't see any of them. She thinks that there is no problem and won't go for treatment, even though alot of her family has died of drug over doses. Should she anonamously turn her in to the authorities?

Ok so my sister colored her hair about a month ago and just recently her hair has been falling out. I personally do not think it is from her coloring her hair but I have never experienced anything like this. She is a FT nurse and the only nurse in the practice she works at so she is over worked and always stressed not to metion she has started going back to school. I have told her that she is too stressed and that may be the reason for her hair falling out. It's not patches of hair but it is HUGE clumps and by far not normal amounts. and it happens all day long. if you touch her head its a guarantee your hand will be full of hair. she is freaking out. I have told her to call her dr but she is scared. has anyone experienced this before? how can I soothe her? why do you think her hair is falling out?

I am trying to understand a medical procedure.

My friend recently broke his lower leg after falling from a train and was immediately taken to a rural small clinic nearby.

When I reached there after about 1/2 hour of the incident he was not writing in pain, but I was told that when he was brought there he was shrieking. His outer wounds were minimal and were dressed. But he would shriek if anyone touched his leg.

The nurse gave him a butt shot of pain killer 15 minutes after I reached there.

I now wonder if the nurse had given one shot of pain killer earlier (as soon as he arrived), because otherwise how come my friend was not writhing in pain. But his pants were still on and the belt was tight when I reached there (which had to be opened to give the shot), so it seems he had not been given that shot earlier.

What is the normal practise in India for giving first aid to fracture victims?

Do you think he would have received the shot earlier too? and his belt tightened back on?

There are over 500 supplement's. I know by combining 2 of them or possibly 3, there's a greater chance of burning fat and building muscle within a short period of time without taking steriods. Anybody know which supplments can almost be accurate to this? I use to take Joe Weider 60g of protien with HotStuff but I choose to try the new stuff, any suggestions?
