I had surgery about 3 months ago and since then I get this on again off again sharp breathing pain in my lower back. When it comes on it hurts really bad. I have been to 3 different doctors and had a chest x-ray and chest cat-scan done and they don't see anthing. They don't think anythings serious is going on that that it is related to the surgery. They just tell me to take Motrin to make it go away. The pain is not constant, but it has been happening for almost 3 months and when it happens, it hurts really bad. Does this sound familiar to anyone and if so what are your ideas?

A couple questions.
1. How much does it hurt?
2. How long does the pain last?
3. Are there any things that should be expected after the piercing? [ I know like a pimply thing but anything else?]
4. Does it hurt afterward? [description of pain]
5. If yes, for how long?
6. Any advice before I get it done?
Thank you.

I have a job but it doesn't pay a living wage so I didn't get the insurance, but now I need to see a proctologist. even if I sign up for the insurance now, I won't be covered until next quarter.

Can I see the doctor this week and not pay the full charge...or do I have to be covered at the time I go in?

Right now I am having some pains like every 5-10 minutes with a little bit of rectum pain, is this just gas or could this be causes from me not having any water come out??It says on the box if no water comes out of the rectum after 30 mins call a doctor because it could cause dehydration but up till about 2 hours ago I felt fine and I took the enema the night before last?

Am I just overeacting and this is just gas??? I do drink a lot of soda, although today I have only had 2 or 3 cups

My toddler has had some unusual brusing on his legs they are small and light and I can't figure out where they are coming from. When I mention it to my family all they say is because he is really rough! And thats true he is, and just within the last three weeks my son has had 2 small nose bleeds, they aren't like runny but when I wiped his nose it was a little bloody. So I don't know if its nothing or if I should worry? I've told the doctor when i first started noticing the bruises but she said that along w the bruises to watch for unusal bumps and bleeding gums. I worry because when he was 6 months to 1 year he had been using protopic for his ecsema. And then they found out that protopic was causing cancer to some people that were using it. Thats a major reason I'm worrying. Does anyone have any thoughts to why I should or shouldn't be worried?

Years ago, I had some people play a practical joke on me. During the prank I felt a warm burning sensation starting in the front of my brain and shot back thru the middle of my brain. To be specific take your index finger a place in the middle of your forehead that is where the warm burning sensation started and shot straight back thru my brain. It actually felt like someone taking a knife and shoving thru the middle of my brain. What is the name of that nerve????

I had no health insurance at the time so did not see a doctor, now I have been diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia.

Age:33 Health:excellent Pain began in Dec and I have had problems ever since.I played flag football, soccer and softball until early November.After working under my house to fix a pipe I noticed some back pain(non spine) which wnet along my side and into my groin and tingled in my right testicle.Doctor:pain meds.Some effect.Treated for gastro issues(stress?) even though pain in my back, etc. continued.Misdiagnosed as a kidney stone.Frustrated, the pain left for about 3 days then returned.More gastro treatement.stress over the injury = gastro issues?I was on 2nd doctor now. Went to chiro and had relief. Stopped when I felt better(2 weeks) and did a run/walk. 2 days later I awoke with pain in my groin that radiated across abdomen.This occurs basically every morning just after I awake but does not awake me.1 week later(now) had an MRI that revealed slightly large prostate,swollen groin lymphs, treated with antibiotics.Ortho said nothing about pain but concerned with lymphs.

and I heard that if you are stressed out alot, it could cause defects or even an early birth. Im worried I might be hurting myself and my baby from being stressed out alot everyday. I got a book on relaxation and that seems to work a little bit. But what if Im too late, is it true I can hurt my baby?

Im unlucky!!??!!?? What can I do?!?!?
Well, I kept hurting myself... but not on purpose! I jammed my thumb while cleaning up, I injured my knee during gym, I hurt my ankle*, While getting a shot the nurse jammed a needle in my arm, I hurt my toes because I dropped a PAM greasing pan thing on my toe,....

*means ill bet back 2 it

What can I do to not get hurt anymore?

I hurt my ankle jumping off a swing. I never went to the doctor because... because.... we were in a different country on vacation. It hurt for like 1 year. Now whenever I hurt it alittle it hurts for like 2 days. But ill go to the doctor as soon as I hurt it again. Now it doesn't work...

Why do I keep hurting myself?

What can I do 2 stop myself?

I usually fall asleep around 12, and I want to fall asleep at 9:30 or 10 tonight to get up at 6 tomorrow. I usually go online for a while, then watch TV as I fall asleep, and I know I shouldn't. What can I do to fall asleep earlier?
