I had surgury for diverticulitice about a year and a half ago,ever since then I have a bulge beside my belly button that feels kinda like a small balloon. I dont know if it's just scare tissue or a aneurysum of some sort. Can anyone help? It's about the size of a golf ball or alittle larger.

I've read in many places it takes 3-6 days to heal, but does this mean for the pain to stop, or completely heal?
I have a scratched cornea, and saw a optometrist, he gave me some drops to use. Its been a more than a week and the pain is gone, but I still feel something there.

I noticed the spot on my inner thigh Saturday morning. It is a red bump with blue and black bruising surrounding it. It was about the size of a dime and has gotten slightly bigger. It was very itchy at first.

I haven't heard of any disease being cured lately. In fact I can't see what incentive the drug companies have to find a cure. In fact they seem to be inventing diseases to sale more drugs.
The side effects on drugs seem worse then what they are treating. I lost my sense of smell to a high blood pressure drug.
The DEA approves these drugs even though they kill and injure millions of people ever year.
What have the drug companies done to earn the right to be the only ones able to provide solutions to our health care problem?

I have recently sprained my ankle for the 5th time in the last 12 years. I have always had weak ankles and they have rolled easily. This last time was just playing soccer and I jumped up and when I landed it rolled, nothing was under my foot, it just gave out. I went to the doctor right after and he said it was a high ankle sprain, but he could see all the previous chips in my bones from previous injuries. He also stated one of these is quite large behind my achilies tendon. It has now been a week and the brusing I have gotten is amazing. I have never had so much brusing, and it is mainly above the round thing on my ankle, about 3 inches above it, and below it along the base of my foot. All the times previous this I never got any sort of bruising. Should I be worried about this? The talk of surgeroy has also been mentioned: 1 to remove the large chip from one of the previous injuries, 2 to tighten my tendons to prevent future injuries. Please advise on what u think of this.

I went for a blood test the other day. The nurse was trying to find my vein at the joint of my left arm (using a syringe). I dont really know what she did as i wasnt looking (maybe that was a bad idea), but i suddenly felt what can be described as "pin and needles" across my left arm. She asked me if i was in pain, then proceed to draw blood from my right arm instead. Initially there wasnt a problem, but after 2 days whenever I move my left arm it feels like blood is being forced through my vein. Also my left arm is "colder" than my right arm!?!?? Is this due to blood being blocked from my arm?? Or did she injected me with some air bubbles instead???

Thanks

I have a nagging dry, tickly cough which I just can't seem to shift, I wondered if people could give me their opinion as to which is the best medicine available over the counter in the UK. Thanks
