as of lastnight, i felt such pain in my lower abdomen, all over not just one side. i have a high pain tolerance but this nearly had me in tears. at first, i thought i was still having menstrual cramps, but it was my 7th day, l was practically done, and I'd never felt pain like this. it lasted about an hour till i finally fell asleep. today i am just so sore, and since lastnight, it is hard to walk upright, bc of the pain. what could this be?

If you have pains on the lower right side of your stomach (where your appendix is) is there a bigger possibility of your period coming or your appendix? It hurts a little to bend my right leg all the way, and one day it was hurting really bad and the next three days it was mild pain so please let me know!
thanx

Hi,
My mum has a scar on her neck and it is very painful. She was in ICU unit after emergency surgery and a tube was inserted in her neck, it left a lumpy scar which left her in excruciating pain.
She had to go back into hosptial for another op and during the operation, the surgeon removed the scar and the scar was stitched. The stitches were eventually removed after 7 days. But as soon as she got home, the pain came back again???

Any ideas on what it could be???

I promised top points for best answer

I want the patients to be comforable and pleased with the transporters escorting them to their appointments in the hospital. When the patients are being escorted to their appointments or discharged, I would love for the patients to say "the patient transportation department is great. I don't really want to spend any money but if I have too, I would like for it to be not costly. I would love for the patients to contiune to choose that hospital and think highly of the transporters and the department. Please help. Thanks

When I try to roll over from sleeping on my back my eyes water from the pain. I'm fine after that until I lie on my back again for a long time then try to move again. Advil, ibuprofen, naprosyn, aleve.....none of that has helped. Not heating pads either. I slept on one all night. Any ideas?

A few days ago I was yawning in the car and my jaw popped really loud. The whole car heard it clearly. It didnt hurt it just shocked me. The next morning my left side of my jaw right at the joint began to hurt soo badly. I cant even bite down at all. If I were to even fight through the pain and just do it I couldnt because there is like something blocking it. I am 13 weeks pregnant and I can hardly eat and the only pain reliever I can take is tylenol. Please help! What might be wrong?

For about a day now, the muscles in my upper leg [thigh, etc.] have been hurting when I walk or dance. It is that kind of good hurt, not really painful but just hurting. When I sit down it's fine, but then when I get up again, I have to walk strange until I get used to it again. Positive answers please? [I'm one of those people that if I hear something wrong with me could be a disease, I start feeling the side effects of that disease because I'm scared I might have it]

I currently have an ear infection but before that i remember I used a QTip a few times and put it in way way too far. I cant hear very well in my ear but there isnt any pain. What would be some signs if I broke my ear drum?
