I had my gallbladder taken out by laparscopy 2 years ago last month, I also had a c-section 3 weeks ago on Monday, I have been having some pain under my right breast and I was wandering if it could be scar tissue from my gallbladder surgery or gas pain and pressure from the other surgery, Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

When you are outside working and it is cold the slightest bump or scrape that wouldn't be an issue in the summer hurts pretty bad. Why is it that when your skin is cold is it more sensitive instead of more numb?

I was just riding my bike at the park. And I wasn't wearing a helmet because I'm stupid. I fell and hit my head on the concrete. It's tender in one spot and I keep feeling little twinges of pain there. This happened about half an hour ago. I don't feel nauseas or dizzy or confused or anything like that. It's just pain. So I though I might have like a hairline fracture or something. But I'm not sure if that's something worth going to the hospital for.

I have a family history of bad backs, both my Dad and his mother have/had them and recieved treatments and surgery. I've been having trouble with mine especially since having 3 pregnancies with a 40 pound weight increase. I've lost 20 pounds since then and plan on losing 40 more. What else can I do to help? Should I receive treatment from a chiropractor or physical therapist or what? I know my dad does stretches every morning and swims and rides his bike for exercise, should I be doing those types of things?

Does anyone have an idea what it costs for a hospital check up/physical when you dont have insurance? I'm sure its not cheap. But I think I might need to go the doctor, but dont want to see the bill if I do. Thanks

when i run i have this severe pain in my ankle. i have been running around my neighborhood to train for the lacrosse season and each day the pain in my ankles gets worse. ive tried everything i can think of, i got new sneakers and checked which brand was the best with my numerous friends on the track team (they told me asics, so i got them) and ive tried streatching before i go for a jog. but nothing has helped and my ankle pain got so bad yesterday that i started crying. the pain isnt like "ive been running for a while and now my ankles are tired" its more like as soon as i speed up in walking or go up and down stairs i get this pain above the big bone on my inner ankle. its on both sides but sometimes one side feels worse the other. i dont think its sprained becuase its not swollen and its not red. it really only hurts when i run/walk up and down stairs/and squat at my locker (stupid bottom locker). i have to be able to run a 6:40 mile soon and i cant even finish one, please help

I read that a majority of Americans are in favor of this but I feel rather uninformed on how it would work.

The other day, I noticed that my heel was hurting anytime that I put pressure on it which is a lot because my high school classes are far away from each other. Then I had a group physical therapy ACL thing and it was still bothering me even thought I took an Alieve....then after my dad was looking at my foot and checking it out and he felt a bump and said that it might be a ganglion...would that be plausible though? I thought that those only formed in hand and near joints and the pain on my heel isn't near my ankle. Is there anything else that it would be?

My 3 year old has a horrible ear wax problem. Both ears are often so packed that the doc can't see his ear drum, and now it seems to be affecting his hearing. Is there any over the counter drops or home remedy to help dissolve the wax? Obviously I don't want to stick anything in there...

I worked out for the 1st time in 4 months and for the last 3 days
I have been in exruciating pain in my triceps. I can't even lift
my arms to comb my hair, eat food, etc. I take lipitor every night
for my cholesterol. Would this have any effect on the intensity
of my muscle pain or is it because I was just not used to working
out? Will this pain go away because it is very debilitating
