My husband woke up this morning with lower abdominal pain he feels like he needs to pass gas but he is not able to. Also he feels like he needs to have a bowl movement but isn't able to the only thing that comes out is a little bit of water and blood. He has no fever but he is weak. I was wondering if anyone else has had a simalar experience. Please no hateful answers.

I just got these new shoes and they aren't really "broken in" yet. They're the kind that you can't wear socks with so I've been wearing them on my bare feet. In just a few hours of wearing them, I have had the skin ripped off of my heels and the front sides of my feet, and it is horribly painful to wear the shoes because of these sores. I know you're all thinking "Just stop wearing them" but they were expensive and I want to wear them so please, no comments about "stop wearing them". My question is: Are there any foot/shoe products out there that I can stick to my feet or shoes to take away the friction between my shoes and my feet that don't show? What are they called and where can I get them? Thanks!

I hope it is only a pulled muscle but I am worried due to the level of pain I have been in with no relief.

Does anyone know exactly what medical information is passed from my doctor to my insurance company? If I admitted to doing recreational drugs will that specific information be reported to the health insurance company? Does the insurance company know if I go to the doctor for pain in my eye or pain in my foot? What does the doctor tell the insurance? I've always wondered about the codes and so forth.

I have been having pain under my knee cap for three days now. As wierd as it sounds the only way that I can describe it is that it feels like I have gas bubbles trapped underneath my knee cap. the pain hasn't gotten worse over the past couple of days but it is still there. It is not really a constant pain mainly when I'm laying down or when I first get up to walk. I don't recall falling down on my knee recently or hitting it on anything, but I suppose it could be possible because I am a clutz. I had a friend tell me to stand on one leg and stretch out the one that is hurting behind my back it doesn't seem to help much. Does this sound familar to anybody? Anybody have any ideas on what it might be. Any feedback would be appreciated.

If there is a younger person who is desperate need of full-time care, why won't nursing homes admit that person? Why is age such an important consideration?

I hope somebody could help me on this? For around 3 months I have been having stitch like pains in my upper to middle right hand side under my rib cage & have since become increasingly anxious about it to the point where it is occupying most of my thoughts. I have been on diet since Aug 06 which was very low fat & low carb and have lost a significant amount of weight, I am now however just eating healthy not quite so restricted. When I excersise which I genrally do in a morning I end up with stitch once I start any areobic activity which I do not understand has I have not eaten. I have been to the docs about this numerous times & they do not feel there is anything wrong & I have also had an abdominal ultrasound which didnt show anything but I am still getting the pains on & off everyday short & quite sharpe my docs feel that they are being caused my anxiety but I am not convinced, I am 28 years old & have 2 small children the youngest being disabled any advice would be appreciated.
