i have been to hospital three different times in one year for kidney stones is what they thought. never passed a stone last one was to be six centimeters. this time i was admitted for same reason but when they went to do surgery on what they thought was an eight centimeter stone guess what no stones, my kidney was taken over from an infection nothing but blood and puss the doctor stated. now i have a splint in my kidney and only 10 % works. The infection was from Ecoilli from bad meat no telling how long this was in my kidney.Three times before this last i have been to the emergency room for the same undescribeble pain and ech time i was sent home to pass 6 centimeters or larger kidney stones. Now i no that it is impossible to pass a stone that large.this a boils down to no medical insurance now my left kidney barely works.WHATS NEXT WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW? HELP ?

I need to take care of her today and I was wandering what should I bring her to make her feel better? Not medicine wise but like actual items and stuff like that. And I know it's very contagious and everything but...I just need to take care of her. So what should I bring her?

anyone know if there are any organizations other than the VA that might financially assist my husband. He needs a mobility scooter due to excessive pain in his back from spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal column causing nerve pain). The VA refuses to give him one because he is still on his feet. (on his feet one out of 10 days) grrrr. Any organization that might assist a VietNam disabled Vet financially....for a mobility scooter. He feels trapped in our home. He needs about 1400.00 for a scooter that would be large enough.

I was bitten by a dog several years ago. i wasn't sure if he was rabid or not but the dog didn't die right away. he did several years later when he was already old. i've heard a lot of people say- even doctors- that rabies symptoms may develop several years later after the person was bitten by an animal. i don't wanna wait for symptoms to show in case the animal that bit me was rabid. now i wanna know if there's a medical examination that detects if i have rabies virus on my body or not.

I know this is a circulation problem, but just what is the problem? I was just laying on the couch watching a movie and it happend! It happens when I'm on the pc..and yes, my right hand is a bit elevated as I move the mouse. Another possible clue is that I have a lower blood pressure than normal.. dr.s think I'm a runner but I'm not. Only excersise I get at the moment is chasing after my 2 year old. Does anyone have any ideas for me? It also seems that a couple of my older kids has this problem. Thanks!

I am not sure what indigestion feels like-i have always heard people talk about having it but never exp. it myself, lately i have had a pressure type pain in my upper stomach towards the chest area, it would be off and on but today pretty much all day-is it possible to have it this long, and does it sound like indigestion? It feel like i need to burp(sorry) to relieve the pressure/pain, it is more annoying sometimes than painful and other times the pain is annoying-also is there reasons other than certain foods that cause it?thank you-oh and what would be good to take for relief?

Hi! I have an e-coli uti due to a kidney stone I've had it since the beginning of Feb. medicine has not helped so I went to a urologist who wanted me to have an iv or shots for 10 days but since they don't do it in their office he faxed the order to my family care doctor who never contacted me, that was on Feb. 22. I just found this out today. Now I have to wait til Monday before I can do anything...I'm sick, I hurt real bad in my kidney and now it feels like the other one is beginning to hurt. I've had a headache for 2 days now and all I do is sleep. Today I noticed I had cellulitis on my leg which I have had several times. What should I do? I'm afraid maybe this could make me spetic but I dunno anything about this stuff...please a doctor or nurse please help? Thanks!

Suppose you awoke from a four year coma like in Kill Bill , how long would it actually take to start walking again?

The only problem that was found was that I am allergic to dust mites. However, allergy medications are failing to work and I am running out of options. This causes daily problems in my life, and is a source of daily tension with my husband. My sinus problems get worse when I'm worried about it or stressed out about things going on in my life. Could this be a mostly mental thing? What do I do?

My throat hurts really bad, it hurts to swallow and talk, my nose is all stuffed up but I don't really feel tired. I want to stay up late because it's a sleepover but I don't want to get pneumonia. Are there any fast ways to get rid a cold, or at least get relief from the symptoms? Any medicines you would like to recommend?
