Today i went to the doc and he told me i have strained some muscle in my back and gave me anti--inflammotory tablets to take three time a day. If i still have pain by Thursday he wants me to go back to see him.
I took a tablet a few hours ago and most pain has gone and i have to take another soon. How will i know if i have a bad back still and it just feels good becasue of the painkillers/anti tablets are working? Should i try to go without and see what it feels like before thursday or just stay on them?

Thanks

I have IBS and immediately after eating I'm either sick or I have diarrhoea, so its easier for me not to eat whilst I'm at work to prevent me from spending loads of time in the toilet.

Does IBS cause weight loss or weight gain? and what foods should I avoid, I have also had my gall bladder removed can this effect my bowel movements too and make my IBS worse?

Some doctors tell us that 3 meals per day is a stable and reasonable way to eat, recently i was told that the new trend is to actually eat 5 small meals per day.
How many do you eat?

Ok, I woke up at 6:00am on August 28th with horrible chest pains. I went to the doctor's that thursday because the pain woke me up at 3:00a.m. They did an EKG and chest X-Ray and said everything was normal. They said it was likely chest wall inflamation and gave me advil. It went away for a couple days and now comes and goes. I am going insane! My symptoms are: severe pain under my left breast, worst when I am laying down, radiates to my left arm pretty badly, sometimes goes into my throat, I can breathe normally-it is slightly worse when I take deep breaths, I have done heavy exercising and it does not make it worse, it does not hurt to the touch, I am only 24, in good shape and I do not smoke anything.
I have tried taking antacids and it does nothing (in case it was acid reflux). I did not have a cough or get injured or anything. I had slight cold or flu symptoms for a couple says prior. It has now been almost 2 weeks and I am miserable. THANKS for any help!!!

Whenever I put my hands on my knees and move it a bit I feel so much rust as if it needs a lubricant or something. And this feeling intensifies when I masturbate.

but around a month ago i developed a hole in the bit of my nose between my nostrils, if i breath in deep it whistles, i went to the doctor and he told me it was hayfever, he didnt really take much notice that i had a hole in my nose, plus im 28 and ive never before this suffered from hayfever in my life, so any way he just sent me away with a prescription for a nasal spray, the spray has helped in every other way apart bt im still left with a hole in my nose, ive tried looking this p on the internet to gather information on what this hole is all about but had no luck at all and i dont know any one else who has experienced this either. Has this happened to any of you? Does anybody have or know of any information as to why this has happened to my nose? help, please and thanks. x
