My kidney will not stop spasming. It has been going for 48 hours now and it's really beginning to annoy me. There's no pain, I just feel a constant thump. I had a CT a few weeks ago that showed 11 kidney stones (5 in one, 6 in the other). I've had dozens of stones in my life, but never have I had spasms this intense and this long. Are the spasms because of the stones? Could one be stuck and not be causing pain? Any help is appreciated!

My Mum is getting worse and worse. She drinks way too much and is distroying my family. I can't sit back and watch her die. I've taken her credit cards and cash away and her car keys because she wont stop drinking and driving. I'm worried she will go into withdraws. How can I prevent this or help her?? We can't afford rehab...

I take nasonex not constant, but a good month at a time. In the past 4 years i haven`t gone more than 2 weeks in a row without getting back on it. It`s the first 4 years of my life that i haven`t got sick at all. I know there is a steroid in nasonex but can this be helping me not get sick also.

Our 5 year old has has surgery done a year ago for a swollen lymph node that never went away after it appeared a year prior to the surgery. He had that one removed and biopsied and it was benign. Our daughter also had the same surgery and it was benign a year before him. Now he still gets swollen lymph nodes he is healthy but the dr thinks b/c he is skinny thats why they are more apparent. He decided to go ahead and have our son see the surgeon again to see what he thinks. He doesnt go until feb of next year. I would like a test ran but in ordfer to do that I have to have a 2nd opinion. So he sees an pediatrician tomorrow and hopefully I can get some imaging test done to find out what is going on. My husband is starting a new job at the beginning of the year but was afraid if he needed surgery we wouldnt have insurance due to the probation period. I dont want to wait I have asked to push the dr visit sooner but he is full. Am I wrong for making this decision w/ o my husband?

I need to describe how the disease symptoms are produced, including any mechanisms of pathogenicity. I have been able to find a lot of info on this, but the problem is that our instructor expects us to put this information into our own words and for it to be easy to understand. Is there anyone out there with a good understanding about this bacterium who can explain it in simple terms to me? I am having a hard time simplifying my information. Thank you! P.S I will not cut and paste an answer :) Just looking for an explanation that will help me to get the ball rolling.

I found that over a period of 5 years, 80% of patients with brain cancer survived it. now, does that mean that only 16% of patients in a period of 1 year survive brain cancer? I'm confused.

I know it can not be cured but surely it can be controled. Doctor has prescribed all kinds of things and it will start to control it and then goes right back to the way it was. He changes to another and the same thing. Anyone have any suggestions.

But I couldn't n convince my doctors that there is something that blocked the free passage of waste about the location where my appendix is located. Is there any medical equipment that could show problems of partial obstractions in the intestine? please help I have suffered enough of that. Thanks

If you have a kidney spleen infection what will happen? I know you'll be in the hospital for a few days, cuz this girl I know has it, but what happens with it? Do you have to have surgery or do they just medicate you or what?
