I have had a hernia just under the right rib for over15 years. A few years ago I went to a specialist and he was angry for me bothering him. He thought I should ignore the hernia since it had been there so long. Now, the area of the hernia is so sticking out and makes me look heavier than I am. First, does a hernia weigh much and can it make me swell to make my stomach stick out too? Am I wrong to want it removed? Am I too old (60) to have it removed? Please tell me that the hernia weighs 40 pounds so I can have an excues for my weight. Can you help?

Lately, I've had chest pains on my right side. Specifically, the pain is centered on the upper-left side of my right breast, around the cleavage dip. I am large chested (34 DDD), could that be a problem? The sharpness of pain depends on movement. Sometimes when I turn onto one side in bed, I get a spasm on pain.
Is this something to worry about or could it be a stable angina or something benign?

Yeah it's kind of gross, but we all gotta do it. I'm a bit backed up, and instead of using Ex-Lax to flush things through, I need something that will TOTALLY flush my intestines clean in one fell swoop. Years ago, a pharmacist at a local grocery store told me to get this over the counter stuff in a green bottle that you just drank the whole thing - forgot what it was called, but it tasted rather tart. Anyway, less than 5 minutes after I drank that thing, I was praying to God to make it all stop, but it flushed me out completely.

I'm looking for something like that, but more effective, or if not, then that same thing again. I just can't remember the name. Can anybody help me out here? (OTC only please - thanks!)

Explain how they have all the meds you need to buy and how each pharmacy has the exact amount for you. To me it seems they plan for you to go to a specific pharmacy when you can go to all of them.

For a while now Ive had a dull pain in my lower back (kidney area) that seems to travel to my lower stomach (bladder area)with this pain I seem to experience wind ( gas ) and with this pain it is sharp which unexpectedly I crouch down to the floor...
Is this Kidney Stones pain or is it Gallstone pain?
Any answers would be appreciated...
Cheers

I haven't done any sit ups or anything else in the past week or two, so why is this happening? When I am laying down, when I try to raise straight up, i can't because my abs hurt so much. And my shoulder is sore too. I do have weight lifting but I havent lifted since Friday, and on Saturday nor Sunday did I have these pains. Does anyone know what they are from?

Last year I (after regular methods, anti biotics, rinses etc) had sinus surgery for chronic sinus pain, pain is located under my eyes and cheeks mostly. I find after all this effort and time I still get this pain, they wanted to treat me for migrains but the pain is in my face not my head and the side effects were worse than what I suffer with now! Has anyone ever had, or heard of someone with sinus pain that responded to nothing?? I'm ready to go to a neurologist but would rather here what regular people have done before more doctors advise me! Thanks
