General Health Care - February 2007

Ocasionally I get a vision disturbance that makes me see as if Im seeing through a kaleidoscope, or water, last time it was about a week ago. Then again today in the other eye. Sometimes this lasts for about an hour. When I close my eye I see a ring of light like crystal moving around my eye! Can anyone tell me what might be causing this??? I am currently on muscle relaxers due to back surgery, but this has happend before too. (before I was on any medication) I dont wear glasses and just had my eyes checked last year.

I recently had a pelvic exploritory laparoscopy to diagnose endometriosis- and my ONGYN said that she noticed that my gallbladder was full, but without stones. I was treated for Endo, but it was only on my left side, and i have pain on my right side of my stomach.
The pain is almost right next to my bellybotton and can be sharp at times, but is always there. it also radiated to my back and hip when it is bad. I have been tested for PID and i have already had my appendix removed- so it isnt that.
Can anyone tell me why i may still be in pain- and what it means to have a full gallbladder and is it dangerous- should i go see another Doc? Is it possible to hurt my back, but not feel pain in my back, but have diverted pain in my stomach? PLEASE HELP!

I'm quite prone to ankle sprains and recently I have sprained my ankle again. I went to the doctor twice and he suspected that I may have arthritis but my blood test came back negative yesterday so I'm fine. But recently, I seem to hear quite a bit of soft clicking sounds in my joints when I move. From my knees, wrists to hips. I'm only 18. Anyone knows what is causing the clicking sounds and should I just ignore it?

My son gets extremely bad Migraines. (about 4 a week). The neurologist has had him on depacote and it reduced the frequency. I wanted to know if anyone knows of anything else that I can try without giving him tons of med. His migraines come on suddenly so there is no warning signs. I don't know what else to do. I control his caffeine, sugar red dye and give him rolaids with magnesium. Does anyone know of something different. The nero wanted to put him on an antidepressant used for adults but that cant be good for him. He has already suffered for 2 yrs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I pulled all of my back muscles and stomach muscles. I was given vicodin, then motrin, and muscle relaxers. The doc never told me how long to heal...It has been two weeks with no relief. And can back muscles sprained move to the front of your body as well. It feels like a cracked rib I have, but I have had x-rays and Cat Scans that show everything is fine.
Thanks

I have a really sore rib, it hurts (like a stabbing pain) when I breathe deeply, cough, twist my upper body and when I press on a certain point. There is no swelling or bruising, but it really hurts.
I wanted to know if I am being a hypocondriac, and if it is just some bruising, or if it could be cracked.
If it is cracked, is there anything I should do ? Or do ribs just need time to heal naturally ? ....if so, how long should I expect it to hurt. ?

I'm only 17 and sometimes i get chest pains that can be very painfull and uncomfortable. I do smoke but not much - at the most i will smoke 5 a day. I have been to the hospital and the doctor told me it was a virus. He prescribed some pills for it but now the pains are back. Just wondering if anyone might have any other ideas of what it could be.
