my mom has been feeling uncomfortable in the side of her abdomen. she says its not a sharp pain, and there's no pain when she pushes on it but it feels like something is leaning on her abdomen or some sort of slight pressure and discomfort. anyone know or have experience in this?

I'm kinda scared, it's as big as a caterpillar, my friend and I were wrestling earlier today that might have caused something to get hurt... someone help me! Should I apply ice? Heat? I don't want this vein to be blown up forever!

Pad is swollen and warm. Can't see any scratch, puncture, etc. Limps when walking & holds it up when sitting. Two vets didn't seem to think it was anything but it has gotten worse.

I've made an appointment to have a nose job on the 5th of March. I would like to hear from anyone who has been through it or any Drs. How long did it hurt for, was it worth it, the risks.

Thank you.

Why is it that when you have a nap in the day you are always cold when you wake up (even if you're covered up), yet after a night's sleep you don't wake up cold in the morning?

For several weeks now the muscle in my lower abdomen which I believe is called the pyramidalis has been hurting when I walk or try to jog. It has been keeping me from doing any abs workouts. It all started when I began playing ice hockey again after 4 years of not playing. I thought it might be just soreness from not playing in so long but it does not seem to be going away. I looked online but have found nothing and my ex is a surgeon and she said to just keep taking advil but that has not helped. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The ER doctors said the hand doctor would probably repair the finger with a steel pin. Called hand doctor for an appointment. Earliest he can see me is two weeks. Is it okay to let a broken finger, that probably will need a steel pin, go for 14 days?

MY KIDS GOT SICK, 5 DAYS AND COUNTING. Will Peter Pan step up and do the right thing? Telling us to throw away the containers is WRONG. They want to make sure that the consumers can not prove it was the peanut butter that made their families sick. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE JARS. Photograph and keep them sealed in a location where your kids can not get them. When the REAL strory breaks and we all see what they were or were not doing, we will need those jars.

I was just wondering if it would be okay to get the ear wax removed at hospital's every six months be okay? I had some ear wax removed a couple days ago and the doctor told me that I should go in every 6 months to get them cleaned out and I was wondering if it would be a good idea? Would anyone know if it would be safer seeing this doctor again or go and get something at the store and remove the wax myself every so often?

I'm sick.When I woke up at noon, I went to the bathroom. While I was washing my hands, everything started getting dark. I felt like I was gonna black out. Something similar had happened when I was sick a year or two ago. And that time when I splashed water on my face I was fine. So I tried my hardest to finish washing my hands without falling over. And I did. Then I splashed cold water on my face. I still couldn't see too well. Somehow I managed to grab a towel, and then I started trying to find my way back to my room, which is right across from the bathroom. Like the doors are about two steps away from each other. At this point I was still seeing everything dark, and I couldn't make anything out. I remember running into a buncha stuff, and that hurt. I made it to my bed, and closed my eyes. When I opened them a few seconds later I could see fine. I realized I had knocked over my guitar case, and dropped the towel. I took IBprofen and now I'm icing my forehead. Will I be OK?
