Whenever I urinate, I have a sharp pain directly below my belly button. The pain lasts sometimes only for the duration of the urination, but sometimes extends to a minute or two afterwards. There is no discharge or cloudiness to the urine, and the coloration seems to be within my normal range. My diet had not changed significantly leading up to the appearance of this problem. Should I be concerned about a UTI or anything of that nature?

i'm 16, female, and take 120mg of methimazole and 60mg of inderal.
about two years ago i was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. we went to an endocrinologist who briefly felt my neck and prescribed 30mg of methimazole. it slowly pushed my levels down to normal, but the endocrinologist figured it wasn't working fast enough, so he increased it every 3 months or so until i was taking 120mg. my family decided to switch endocrinologists.

my current pediatric endocrinologist noticed my levels weren't changing with the methimazole and refused to treat me because i was 'not taking the pills'- even though i was. my parents watched me take my pills for six months, which was unnecessary, and my levels didn't move towards normal- instead they shot up. as well my thyroid is much larger and impairs my breathing and swallowing. it's also very tough and hard to the touch.

i'm not sure it's the hyperthyroid but i keep getting weaker and sicker. why am i not responding to my drugs? whats wrong?

Yesterday morning I was having a sharp pain in my side, (I did not change anything in an athletic manner or any other manner) and it gradually sharpened through the day. Around 8 hours later the pain became prominent when i would walk or laugh. around nine hours later, i began feeling slightly noxious and warm. I did not have a high fever.. Today (over 24 hours later), when pressure is applied i still have the sharp pain in my lower right side, it has become slightly more dull and radiating, but I have a generalized pain that I can only assossiate with nasea in my stomach. the pain is still mainly prominent about 2 inches to the right of my belly button. I can eat but I am not particularly hungry. And through the night I was plagued by two cases of diharrea. I am still feeling warm but do not have a high fever (again no more than one degree). I am 16 and athletic if that would have any affect on an answer. Should I go to the hospital or wait it out and see if it lessens?

I'm supposed to go and have blood work done tomorrow (just annual stuff - cholesterol - sugar levels - thyroid - etc.). Yesterday I started coming down with some kind of flu or cold. I was running a temp last night (101)- and I think I still have a low grade fever today. Can I still get the blood work done - or do I have to wait until I'm healthy? Any effects that this will have on the results?

Most of us would go farther into debt than we can afford just by going to a doctor.
What kind of a"community" would allow this?
Working people are worse off than not..but anyone denied a screening for life threating conditions is in-human, but at the price these things are at...most of us are not able to even consider.

I had it about 2 months ago and I was feeling better, but now I am struggling with fatigue again and it's starting to concern me. Any ideas on how to nip this in the bud? I have made a promise to myself to eat right, sleep right and work out more, but is there anything more I can do? I just want to feel like my normal vibrant self again.

Has anybody had a UTI? I have never had one, but my wife swears thats what I have..... It hurt really bad just all the sudden yesterday evening while urinating and there was a little blood at the end. Throughout the night the urine was a little more pink, and a little this morning. I have gone several times today and its not really pink anymore, I dont notice it. It's still uncomfortable for sure, but not near as bad......UTI or something else??

I am waiting on a call back from my doctor, I just wondered what others experiences have been and if you all think thats what this is???

I am having a really hard time dealing with my recent diagnosis of MS. Did you have a difficult time when you were diagnosed? I have cried every day for two weeks. I am afraid of the shots they want to give me. Avonex I think. Do they make you sick?

My boyfriend had brownish colored urine last week .I told him to drink lots water and I cleared it up and was back normal yellow. Now last night he went and it was reddish brown. I looked it up but all I could find was Hep b, urinary tract infection, liver disease and kidney infection. He has no pain, burning or backache to go along with the brown urine.
I need some advice to give him to pacify him. We are taking a sample of it to the Dr. tomorrow morning, but he isn't being patent and wants to know a decent answer to give him (and me) peace of mind. He is driving me nuts!
