Over the last few months I have had discomfort in the upper right area of my stomach, and the same area but on my back. It is not painfull, but becomes painfull if I press in certain spots. The discomfort seems to be more noticeable after eating fast food, or a weekend of heavy drinking. It has seemed that this discomfort has come with my rapid weight gain as well. Any ideas on what it could be? If it could be treated with a healthier lifestyle, or needs to be medicaly treated? Also I have no naseua, or irregular bowls, aside from lots of gas. It also does not hurt during deep breathes

I have had pain in my legs for years but it is getting worse.
I am 37 and if fair condition. I can ride a bicycle for 50 miles without pain, but I cant stand or walk for very long (1-2 hours). I have stopped playing golf and dont go shopping with the wife because of the pain.

I played soccer yesterday for an hour and after my legs ached to the point I almost could not walk. After a couple hours, and a hot bath it was better and today I feel ok. The ache feels the same as when you have a fever but much worse.

The pain is from my hips to my ankles.

I have torn muscles, tendons and bone chips in my shoulder. Is there a way to get this fixed without surgery? I know the muscles will heal with physical therapy and the bone chips will eventually disipate. I am more worried about the tendons. They just have a slight tear.

My Friend was in the hospital for 2 months & we (his loved ones) have witnessed some tremendous neglect & irresponsibility on the parts of the hospital staff, which we are following up on. I was wondering, however, about the specific responsiblities of the PCA (Patient Care Assistant, sometimes called Patient Care Technician). Are there universally recognized standards that describe the duties of the PCA, or does it vary from hospital to hospital? My Friend's niece is a nurse, and said that when she was a PCA, she had to bathe & otherwise tend the hygeine of patients who were unable to do so for themselves. I've seen nothing of this during my Friend's entire hospital stay!

I've already taken Vicks Dayquil. Taking that got rid of my stuffy nose, but now my head feels like it's full of air...what do I do other than just wait it out?

My ear also needs to pop...Does anyone have any advice on how to fix that? (I've already tried applying increasing pressure by driving up a mountain, but that didn't work..)

Thanks for any help!
