I have gallstones and was having frequent attacks so I went on a strict no fat diet hoping my gallbladder inflamation would go down and it has worked for the past 2 weeks. I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience and when they stared to eat fat again

I was in a very serious car accident. I was paralized from my waist down. They were able to put two rods in my back and basically weld the bones toghter. I am now able to walk with a walker,on same days I use a wheelchair. On top of this my wife cheated on me while I was in the hospitail. I had to deal with all of this on top of losing my wife . Now I can deceide If I want to get the rods removed from my back. This is all spinal cord stuff so its kinda scary. They remove the rods and I may regain alot of strenth to the point that I would be able to use just a cane. I will or may lose this tremoundus pain that I have? I could be able to regain flexabilty? These are all things I may regain. Negative, My spine could crush and I lolse all feeling and cant walk at all, next I could Die,next I could get an Infection. Those are the Major things. I have been through alot. I really dont have many people to help me with this . So give it a shot. Thanks

For the last couple of weks I've been experiencing a progressivly worse pain in my back, right around the shoulder blades. Now it has started to tingle, and the skin feels streched tight. I don't have any health insurance, does anyone have idea what this could be, and some inexpensive home treatments?

Ever since I have first felt sick this past week (very swollen tonsils), I have had this dull ache/pain in the lower right side of my pelvis, underneath my stomach. Its not too bothersome, and not a sharp pain, but it comes and goes and I can't figure out what it could be. I have been drinking plenty of water and the occasional glass of juice, so I don't think it has anything to do with my kidneys? Any ideas?

How do you know if you might have a slight case of frostbite? I work outside in the wind and sub-zero temps all the time and while most of the time my ears are covered, for the last few days my ear (not an ear infection) has been hurting and feels a little swollen. Could it be frostbite or is it more likely to be something else?

There is a stinging pain coming from my left index finger. When I bend it it hurts even more. I dont think its sprained or broken. I dont know where this sudden irritation is coming from. It started to bother me about lunchtime today. What do you think could be wrong and will it go away soon? Thanks!

Or hairline fracture of the fibula. Where is this bone of the foot located? I know it has to be somewhere close to the ankle area.
