Just wondering if a bee sting can be more dangerous for a baby or if it's the same as for an older child (ie. watch for signs of allergic reaction).

When I had taken off my contact lens, I noticed what looks like a piece of contact lens on my eye. However, the contact lens I was wearing was not torn. I wonder if it could have been a piece from a torn contact lens I took off LONG TIME AGO.

I can't find that piece. I have no pain, irritation or loss of vision. Can it cause problem to my sight? What should I do? I have no health insurance.

My father has just found out that he has gallstones. He was waiting to hear back from his doctor/hospital for when he can have an operation to sort the problem. In the mean time is there anything he can take to releive the pain when it occurs? He anticipates a wait of at least a few months before he can have the operation so obviously would like to suffer as little as possible until then

Two friends of mine who took an anatomy course together have both told me that leaving a broken or fractured bone untreated can cause you to get flu-like illness and common virus-type illnesses. They said its because the bone can cause a hemmorage (sp?). Is this true?

Initially a heat pack helped, but now it makes me feel worse. I can't sleep from the pain, it hurts less when I dpnt move my arm and am in an upright position.

I know my doctor will answer this soon but I just wanted to get some thoughts from others that may have experience or medical knowledge.
I had hernia surgery almost 3 months ago. It was a tear in my abdomen that was repaired.
My doctor told me no gym, golf, etc.. for about three months. I go back to see him next week and last time I was there a month ago he said he would probably clear me this next time I am there.
Three months after the surgery how much has it probably healed? I know doctors like to be safe for good reason but how long after this type of surgery are things pretty much healed? Should I feel safe going back to doing normal things? He cleared me 5 weeks ago to start doing light weights/exercises but I have been good and done nothing. Didn't want to risk it.
Thanks for any info, advice or experience.

The pains are usually in my shin, foot,arms and hands area. They are sharp pains and then go away. I went to the doctor when i would get it in my arm bones and they just said artrites but now its other places and im scared it may be something worse. I have no insurance to get it checked out and was wondering if anyone has had this before?

my eye lids tend to twitch randomly. I think it's because I'm tired or mal-nutritioned (from what I remember hearing). What is the actual cause?
