Both ears are pierced with 14 gauge Titanium captive bead rings. The right ear hurts slightly. It feels a bit swollen at the rear of the piercing on the lobe. It feels larger and is slightly painful. I thoroughly washed the area with Detol disinfectant. Could this be an infection even at the late stage of development? The left earring feels perfectly fine. I am worried I might have to remove my right earring because of this problem. Please assist. Thanks you.

Knee replacement is quite a big deal especially for an 80 year old woman. Cortisone injections don't last long. I heard of teflon injections, but can't find anything to back up what I heard. Any help from someone who knows?

I am A- bloodtype, and my husband is O. I know we cannot give eachother blood. But does this effect Kidney transplants? All I could find was that 6 antigens have to match. But I dont know if that has any wage on the blood type or not.

(It would be me giving to him).

Thank you.

At first the doctor thought I had rheumatic fever but I don't. So what could be wrong? This is the second time they do the test.
My platelets and CRP are also high. Does anyone know what can be causing this?

Im only 15 and im having chest pains on the right side of my chest. Sometimes its my left side but rarely. I get this about 2 times a week sometimes 1 but at least once a week. It goes on sometimes for about a hour or 2 or sometimes 15-20 mins. Ive been for multiple tests like ECG's and like my blood pressure and breath test. All came out normal. Im only 15 years old so i know i shouldnt worry to much. But this never stops. Its worse if i eat lots of fatty foods but just a alittle when im just doing my daily things. The doctor told me its jus chest wall and that im overweight and if i lost weight they would calm down. I just want someone elses opinion on this. What should i do and im really fearing that this is something more serious. Anyone?

I recently realized that I have hemorrhoids but I won't have health insurance for a while and i was wondering if they can turn dangerous if left untreated for a while.

Also, if I use aloe from a plant on the area, could this be dangerous?

Are hemerrhoids permanent, like herpes, or can they be cured for good?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a friend in her late 20s who has been sick for about a year now. Lots of physical pain. Migraines, headaches, sinus pain. Nerve pain in her neck, up the arms, hands, and wrists. Digestive pain and intermittent constipation. Dry mouth, dry skin. Heat surges that make her want to tear off her skin. Extreme food sensitivities. Extreme fatigue - she spent a good portion of the last year completely immobilized. Lately, lots of dizziness and several fainting spells. Confusion and memory loss. And profound emotional angst - anxiety attacks, rage, bouts of terror. More and more, she calls me in tears and I'm beginning to worry about her sanity. She's literally starting to sound crazy to me.

She went to a few doctors, and they couldn't find anything. So she's been seeing some practicioners of alternative medicine. They think she picked up a parasite in Thailand, and are treating her with herbs and other hokey stuff. I've tried not to butt in, but I'm growing increasingly concerned.

I am not technically constipated b/c I had a bowel movement today, but I feel constipated because I feel full and bloated and like I have not completed a bowel movement, sometimes dull cramping in my stomach. I have also lost a lot of weight, about 6 lbs. in 3 weeks, and I was already underweight to begin with. I am a 23/f. I hardly ever drink water and I don't eat regularly. But I don't drink a lot of milk or eat a lot of cheese and I try to eat vegetables when I do eat. Should I be concerned and/or go to the doctor? I feel like if I drink water it will just make me feel more bloated, and no I am not on my period, and as a matter of fact, I have not had my period for a month and a half now, and my last period lasted only 3 days and didn't have real bleeding except for the last day. What's wrong with me, any ideas? And any suggestions for what to do about feeling bloated, sick and constipated?
