My 5-week old baby boy may have an inguinal hernia and his pediatrician recommended surgery at 6-months. In my reading of this condition I found that suregry should take place ASAP to avoid strangulation of the intestines. Does anyone have any insight to this?

My mother is on Seroquel & Zanex. She has extreme insomnia. She has been taking this combo for 5 + yrs now. She wants to stop taking all meds but can't seem to find a solution to the sleep problem. At her last appointment the doctor wanted to take her off the zanex & increase her seroquel. The seroquel is the one that worries me. I've been hearing a lot of bad things about it. When my mom brought up the risks of the seroquel to the doctor she said "that's all a bunch of hoey to scare people". I have researched & there seems to be a HUGE risk associated with this drug and diabetes. Should a doctor be dismissing health risks like this? Why would she?

I posted this in weddings as well, not sure which category was best....
My fiancee and I are getting married on 10/20, and over the course of the last year, his mother has been battling cervical cancer. We thought she was in the clear early in the year, so we got everything planned. A couple months ago we were given the bad news: it spread viciously (stage IVb) and we're not sure how long she has. She's deteriorating every day and might not be able to attend. We nixed the idea of moving it up, we don't want her to think we're "rushing" her or showing any signs of something being wrong. We will do our best to carry on no matter what the circumstances. If she is still here we'll visit her and have a "mock" ceremony after the church and before the reception. If she's not with us, we'll try to do our best to continue with our plans.
I'm just wondering has anyone had to go through this before, with a parent? How did you cope with it? We're you able to go through with it?

I would bleed or spot for just about all of the first 6 weeks. After the first 6 weeks, after birth and having a tubal I would spot after having sex but still have not had my period that I am aware of unless it happened in the first six weeks because I was already bleeding. I am not breast feeding. Does anyone have any advise on this situation. I would think that I would have got my period at least one noticable time in almost 12 weeks postpartum.

Its been 8 days. I was stupid and smoked in the first few days and got a dry socket. This is not worth any high from anything you smoke so just deal without. I had gauze in which I was to remove today, and I did, of course since the gauze was there the hole never closed up, from just eyeballing it it is about half the size. I still get light bleeding when I brush my teeth and there is still pain but its not nearly as unbearable as it was and it is easily taken care of with advil. Wondering if I will be able to smoke again later tonight or if it can possibly get worse somehow. All of the other holes are totally closed. Ive been very careful and made sure to rinse with salt water and keep all food out of the remaining hole.

I have started having lower back pain about 3 days ago. Then I went to the restroom and peed blood. Now my lower back is hurting. What could this be? A bladder infection? A kidney infection? A STD?

Ok well I got sick on Thursday meaning a cold. I had sniffs runny nose all that. there was some mucus in my throat. than three days later my throat hurt and I started to cough. Now I don't feel that sick anymore like no nose problem but I''m coughing and it feels like theres still mucus in my throat. Do I have TB? Or is the mucus just trying to leave the body?

PS I got a TB shot when younger

then her foot, knee, and so on. The other day she was playing and said her arm hurt and then it made a POP noise. She hasnt said anything since. Does anyone have any suggestions whether she is really in pain(with her arm)
I know sometimes your joints can stick and hurt untill you bend them again but other than that i dont know what this could be.

It started about 3 months ago (about 6 weeks after my baby was born). At first I thought I was having an allergic reaction and went to the ER because I could barely breathe. Hhowever, they said that my oxygen level was normal and said that it could be an anxiety attack. It got worse over the next few weeks. Now it effects me no matter what I eat--although some things worse than others. My throat feels like it's closing on me and I have a hard time breathing. It feels like I'm being karate chopped in my neck/throat area. Or, you know when you are trying not to cry and you get a llump in your throat? It feels like that. I don't have medical insurance and don't know what to do. Has anyone else had these symptoms? I've lost 8 lbs in the past 2 months because I just stop eating when it does this.
