Firstly, I know I need to see a doctor and I will be soon. What I'm after here are some explanations so I at least have a heads-up on the possibilities of what I'm dealing with before I go.
For the last two weeks I have been experiencing sharp pain in the bone around my solar plexus spreading to my lower ribs, very similar to the symptoms of costochondritis, but no-where near my heart and equally bad on both sides of my chest. The pain comes in waves that can last anywhere from 1 minute to 1 hour. The pain can be anywhere from a dull ache to a sharp, crippling pain.
I also have, recently - in the last week - been getting a terrible pain in the front of my stomach (in waves, like the chest pain), which in turn feels very tight. The pain can be replicated in my stomach by applying large pressure. My bowel movements have been normal and consistant as has been my diet. Ibuprofen eases the pain temporarily as does warmth and heat. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong with me?

yes, the car slowed down and I didn't see he was using the breaks... I had my sunglasses on and they sometimes make me feel as if I was riding on a space vehicle and nothing could happen to me - I think I am not paying attention with sunglasses or what

in any case, it was BANG and now my belly hurts and I have a nice big scar on my knees

Anyone out there to give me a kiss on my belly?
It hurts... oh.. so bad.
And this is not the first time... last week I had a similar thing, I fell off the bike!
Happened to you, too?
Is it because of the heat?

Scientists, lab technicians make drugs. they try them on animals and finally on humans. Just to find out what happens.
They send out millions of $ worth of free samples and instruct your local doctor to use this for X disease.
the doctor obliges.
But YOU need a perscription because YOU cannot SELF MEDICATE.
REALLY?
everyone self medicates when we skip a dose or take an extra or just don't finish it or decide that we feel better and we SAVE some for next time or the others in our family.
Why can't we just get a quick exam, punch in other symptomes and get a script from a computer program? all you need is a tech to take temp, vitals and there you go. lab work acn be sent out, if need be.
and the health costs go down. one system that keeps track of everything you are and have taken.
what would be so wrong. Doctors would still be needed for ooperations, broken bones and urget care, but small thing like this would really help. Don't you think?
Opinions?

I have bad allergies, and I figure I'll just take a couple Benadryll as opposed to a Claritin or Zyrtec if it is night time since I am going to sleep anyway. But, I swear, I really feel like I can get set off much easier after taking a couple of those.

Anyone else feel that way?

is it their own fault because they didn't take care of themselves, or is it the organisations fault for not warning people and taking appropriate steps to avoid tragedies like these?
