3 months ago I had my appendix out. I was taken to emergency room with pretty bad lower abdominal cramps and suspected appendicitis. I was operated on straight away, and found not to have appendicitis.
I had a bag of infectous fluid around my appendix.

3 months on I am still getting the cramps, just as painful although I have learn't to deal with pain.

I have 5 stools with blood in past 2 months and nearly all my stools have yellow mucus

Abdominal cramps also on lower left side as well as right

It hurts to push in on stomach

Tired, and have joint pains


My doctor has diagnosed me with fecal loading, a form of constipation. The thing is, I really dont think I am constpated. I go to the toilet regulary, and I dont strain to do so.
I really think this is the wrong diagnosis.

My right hand side pain is around the area of my scar??

What do you think it might be?? I have ideas - crohns/UC/ food intoloerence/ another sack of fluid/ adhesion??

Please help!!?

I'm 18 and everytime I have the chance (Which is not very often) I have sex with a guy. Even if I know it's only going to be a one night thing. (I only have sex with people I know) It makes me feel more attractive. I have had sex with 6 guys in just two years. It's a lot and I have only felt physical attraction to 3 of them. The other 3 were just cuz I could. Could this be some kind of mind disorder?

80 % Of of the day, one if my nasal passages are always congested. Sometimes both are. I recently went with a product ZICAM and it relieves it temporarily. I've asked the doctor and all he tells me is to you these congestion relief sprays. I've always had this since a kid. I've had problems with colds all my life, but i get nasal congestion even when i dont have colds. I've also had problems with tonsils all my life aswell.I still have them and still have scarring from previous problems with them. I added that cause i might of thought that played a role in the nasal congestion.

A couple weeks ago I started getting bumps that I thought were ingrown hairs, but they are not healing and they hurt and are hot. My husband told me about a week ago that there was a flesh eating virus going around and amybe I have that. I thoguht he was joking, but I got a magazine in the mail from my health insurance and that is the cover story. It is a short article, basically it just says wash your hands, call your dr and if you get this disease you'll get pnuemonia. What all do you know about this disease? I ride the public bus and work in a pharmacy, so I'm a little nervous about this. I do have an appointment already set up in two weeks for another problem, and if this still persists I will of course ask my dr. Thanks!

I am 18 years old and have noticed that my scrotum is starting to get red and dry, and it almost seems as if it has too much heat in that area. I am sexually active, if that is necessary. Would anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

What is the name of that allergy when your lip breaks if you eat fruit? Its a seasonal allergy that happens I think when there is pollen or something like that in the air that reacts with fruit. I read about it before and I know I have it but I forgot what its called. Does anybody know the name of the allergy?

Ok I just started a new job at a restaurant.
I have been working there for a week and all of the sudden I have these tiny red dots on my face some under my nose and the rest on my chin, They are kind of painful and sting if I rub across them...
Before I worked here I NEVER had ANYTHING on my face... I hade like maybe one zit a year. My pores are also getting enlarged which is pretty strange considering I could barely see them before.
What can i use to stop this???

Hi.. About two weeks ago i had bronchitis.. I went to the doctors and they prescribed zithromax.. While i had bronchitis i still continued to smoke weed (about a quarter a week). I finished the the prescription and 2 weeks later i'm still smoking the same amount of marijuana a week and i have a cough that doesnt seem to go away. It's not a constant cough, like it doesn't happen every second and its not a real hard cough. The cough is like i'm just trying to clear my throat and i also have a stuffed nose still but it's not that runny. So i'm wondering.. have i developed chronic bronchitis or chronic cough? Or do i have early symptoms of emphasema? Thanks for you answers..
