General Health Care - December 2006

I have had sharp pain off and on in my upper right side, right beneath my ribcage. Tonight I had to leave work early because I was feeling extremely nauseated. I vomited up a large amount of a lime green looking substance that tasted very bitter which I thought might be bile. I've never had that happen before. Could this be a sign of something serious?

Ok, I could probably stay up all night if I felt like it without much of a problem. I usually can't get tired until 3:00am, and when I go to bed it usually takes me a long time to doze off. It seems like my mind wanders about anything and everything.

As of right now, I'm not very active. School is on break, and I'm looking for a new job, but even with all that going on, I still usually have the same problem and don't get very tired at night

Anything I could do to help me get a normal sleep pattern and how to just relax and doze off sooner??

Any help would be great, thank!!

PS: I don't drink, so don't give the beer answer lol.

Will this effect my sports activities or any heavy lifting in the future?

I went to the doctor about ten days ago because i had symptoms of an uti well it came back positive i was put on meds. My right side where my kidney is has a sharp jabbing pain now i had a horrible headache i can't get rid of! I think i'm going to go insane! I made a appt to see the doc at 9:30 am tomorrow morning what can i expect now? Will he put me on more antibiotics? At least give me some kind of pain reliever i've tried all the other pain relievers such as tylenol and so on. It gave me no relief not trying to ramble on and on but what can i expect?

My husband had an ankle reconstruction in july 05. He was told it would take three months to heal. We have seen a gp and specialist but they make light of the situation. It is now 1 1/2 years later and his ankle swells dramatically and changes colour to purple/black. We were told if he is on his feet more it would get better. When he is on his feet more it swells even more and hurts him. I am afraid that he may have circulation &/or blood clot. This could be highly dangerous. How many second opions do we need. What should we believe? Help us

I was at my friends house last November and we were on her dock. A peice of trash fell in the ocean and she made me get it. I reached my leg out into the water to pick it up with my foot. My knee made a loud crack and I couldn't move. I couldn't walk at all for about 30 min.If I sit down for too long my knee really irritates me and I have to get up and move. Or if I strech it it hurts really badly. I don't know how to explain the pain,it's really confusing.Anyways,this summer my mom took me to the doctor[orthapedic?] and I got an X-ray on my knee. They couldn't find anything wrong with it and then we got an MRI done. They only found a little thing on the knee and they gave me a shot that was supposed to help in a few days. It didn't help at all. It did not make my knee feel any better. I've done an MRI and an X-Ray TWO times. I was becoming frustrated with the doctor. My knee has been in alot of pain. I have no idea what to do now. Please help me. I'm 13 years old. I need help. Anybody

My friend has had a heart attack in 2000 (she's only in her twenties), and at the time the brain suffered from lack of oxygen. I met her about 2002, at the time she suffered from severe depression. Now she keeps losing jobs, and finally one doctors assessed that her brain function is not normal. I'm just wondering if you know of anyone with similar experience. If so, please share the experience, and what you found helpful. Thanks!

How can I make it stop itching? Usually my cuts only itch when they already have a scab but this one is already itching even though its deeper and just happened last night.
