Can a psychologist actually make you go to the hospital for depression if you are over 18, or can they just suggest it very strongly?

For about 2 months I have been getting cramps in the lower left and right parts of my abdomen, and sometimes just random crampy pains all over the stomach. I'm having a unltrasound and barrium in a week but was wondering what I could expect they might find.

Here are some of my symptoms:

* The stomach cramps ( on left and right but more frequent on right)
* I can feel the pain in my lower back in cramp from too
* Sometimes get an extremely sharp pain so bad I am doubled up ( this only happens on the lower left side)
* Pain sometimes in upper right abdomen
* occasional blood in stool
* loose stools
* Mucous in stool
* Always really tired
* Hips and thigh area are sore/joint pain
* my eyes are sore lol
Sometimes the pain goes away completely and I can't feel it for hours and then other times its there almost constantly but in cramp form.
Does anyone know what these symptoms mean??
Thanks xx
*I am seeing a gastroenterologist*
*I am 14 year old female*

my friend is in bad shape he had a gastric bypass 5 yrs ago and was in alot of pain and due to long cut ,would be in pain until healed.13 months later he went to his dr#1 and complained of excruciating pain still. dr#1 said don't worry! well he wanted 2nd op. and dr#2 did egd and found a 4" jp drain protruding through his new stomach. he took it out. after many tests they said it damaged internal parts and will be in pain for ever . he got a lawyer and they used the dr#2 that removed the tube for expert witness. well then 3 years later the dr#2 that was the expert wit lost his license and was told he no longer has a case due to dr2 losing license! and lawyer said he would not put any more into the case because he was out $$$$k.before the dr#2 lost license he had perfect case. lawyer said no good. and lawyer says he wants to settle for costs. Is someone paid off???case changed from good to bad for him really quick? lawyer is closing case! is friend obligated to settle for fees?

I was asleep up stairs at my house and as I came to conciousness I realized I couldn't move. I tried so hard to move my legs and arms, but I just couldn't. I tried to scream for help but nothing came out. I layed there in my bed trying to calm down and I could hear my family talking down stairs. After I decided that there was nothing that I could do except wait for someone to come and check on me, I went back to sleep. When I woke again I could move. I thought maybe I just had a bad dream or something, until I asked my family if they were talking about what I had heard. They said yes. So, I know that it really happened. It has happened a couple of times since then too. Has this ever happened to anyone else??????

I THINK BEING IN A ROOM AND HAVING THE WALLS SLOWLY CAVE YOU IN AND CRUSH YOU SLOWLY. OR HAVING A SWINGING BLADE PENGELUM SLOWLY LOWERING TO YOUR HEART WHILE YOU ARE STRAPPED TO A CHAIR. OUCH!! What about you? Worst way to die gets best answer! (also, many people don't think about the walls caving in on you, but it can happen!)

I am 24wks pregnant and I have a 13month old. I have had the chicken pox before when I was younger and now I suspect that I have shingles. I went to the emergency room yesterday and the doctor said that she thinks it is impetigo, very unlikely, the rash is very very painful. She gave me a cream to put on it and it seems to be just getting worse and so is the pain. The rash consists of about 12 medium small red and purple blisters on my inner forearm close to my elbow, the skin under the blisters is deep red. My whole arm seems to be hypersensitive to any touch. Has anyone ever had shingles, and if so what were your symptoms? And any suggestions on how to deal with the pain? I can't sleep.
Thanks

I was referred to an Ophthalmologist from my GP with a serious eye condition that I was told by several Optometrists needed immediate attention with almost daily checking. When I went to the doctor, he said it was indeed serious but didn't explain anything, prescribed a strong medication that can cause long-term damage if taken too long and then left his technicians, who knew nothing of my problem, to check up on me only after 2 weeks after my original appt (he was on vacation apparently). They then didn't contact me for another 2 weeks to tell me to stop taking the medication. This medication should never be taken that long (as I am told by my optometrist and another MD) and one needs to slowly wean oneself from it, which I was not told to do. Although I took myself off the medication beforehand, I want the world to know how bad this doctor treated me without litigating. What should I do that will make them take notice? Websites, complaints, etc.??? Thanks.

Im almost 5'1 and weigh 108...I'm on the thin side and always have been, but I eat lots of food, I exercize, and feel great. People are always telling me to eat and they say i'm sooo tiny. Well I do eat! How do I respond to these comments they're kind of getting irritating. With all the eating disorders around today noone thinks that there are naturally small people anymore, they figure I must be starving myself.

My bf is diabetic and he has a plantar's wart that's not going away. we've been taking out the little dots but it doesn't want to heal.
all the medicine at the pharmacy says don't use this if you're diabetic.
He tried the duct tape thing that didn't work either.
for now he's been soaking his feet everyday with the green sandy spa stuff in hot water and filing the calluoses off.
So is there something else he could try? please it's very painful.

Ok my breast at very tender today, they don't hurt they are sore feeling. Since my cycle isn't regular at all I can't say I'm late or my periods coming to explain it. The only other odd change in me is I 've been a smoker for over 6 years and last week they started making me feel "sick" so I haven't had one since. What are some reasons for sore breast, mine have never been sore. btw I'm 24 if that helps
