General Health Care - November 2007

I am organizing/restocking my medicine cabinet in the next day or so. I have made a list of things I want to have, and want to see what you all have so I don't forget anything.

My Doberman pup just went through his first 3 day taping and when we went to retape, I noticed his right ear felt warm, and seems thick toward the top and seems hard to touch. I called the vet and they are out for the Holidays. He is on an antibiotic and seems okay, but I am still worried. What caused the hard thickness in his ear. What do you we do to help him. He does not seem bothered or in pain, but we do not want to continue to tape if he is in pain or infection. I am worried it will scar or stay thick. He is currently on Erythromycin 250mg (1/2 tab twice a day). What did I do wrong?

I have crazy abdominal pain. It started last night at like 2 AM (it didn't wake me up, I was just awake already) and it hurts whenever I use those muscles--so when I pee and stuff.
It doesn't hurt constantly. It just sometimes feels like it's about to explode, like it's swelling or something? It's usually when I move in certain ways, or when I try to go to the bathroom, or sometimes when I'm just sitting there not moving it randomly starts hurting.
I feel nauseous, and I threw up a little bit earlier...
And I'm totally not hungry at all--food is not on my menu right now.
I'm tired, too, but I've had very little sleep lately and that may have something to do with it.

Could anyone help me out here? I've had an ovarian cyst before, but this pain is a lot lower than that was and I'm not sure if it is the same type of pain. Oh, it also hurts (kind of like a bruise-like pain, though) to press on my lower right abdominal area.

I have had aching and tenderness in my mid-upper abdomen (right-hand side) that comes and goes...stays for a few days and then goes away. I have also had nausea that comes and goes. My appendix is already out. The pain sometimes goes away for like a month and then comes back. What do you think?
Also...an ultrasound taken recently shows no gallstones.

Bad Idea! Now my gums are swollen don't fit in right at all! I've had 1 adjustment done and getting another tomorrow, That's IF I can get them back in! the first week was hell but at least I had teeth in my mouth! So? to make the RIGHT adjustments my dentures need to be fitting "IN" right, THEY DON"T! Not at all! Any idea's how to get my gum swelling down? (OH! S***! The pain! Geez!!) At this point I'll deal with pain, if I could only wear them again! It's so embarrassing to see myself look so old and "sunken it". Much less anyone else! I am so sorry I did this!

After having surgery, it was minor, when I woke up, they made me WALK into the recovery room. I was so dizzy. I remember them telling me to wake up and stand up. Then the nurse held me up and made me walk into the other room. My mom said I looked pissed after waking up. And then they made me leave out of the back door!! Probably because I looked so bad. Has that happened to anybody? Where you had surgery and then were made to walk right after?

I've recently bought an exercise bike and I've been using it daily. After a few times of use, I started to experience a pain, like a sort of cramp in my right leg and now I feel constant tingling in it. I'm a little hesitant to go to a doctor for various reasons which I won't go into but I was just wondering what could be causing this?

My mom has terrible kidney pains that cause it to burn when see urinates and she says the pain is almost as excruciating as child birth.
The question is if there is anything she can drink or eat that would help the pain decrease.
She says that coconut water would help. Have you ever heard that, and can you back it up?
Also, we dont need to be told to take her to the doctor. Her doctors are fully aware, but thank you for your concern.

Once again, if you know of anything she can take to ease the pain then please tell us. Thank You.

Somtimes I get such severe hunger pains that my stomach feels so cramped it's hard to stand up straight. It happened again last night. I wasn't feeling all that hungry at 5 o'clock, but by 7 I wanted to curl up in a ball the pain was so bad. It came on really fast too. I never felt the normal I should eat now hunger, it went straight to the why oh why did I not eat already. Then when I did get to a restaurant to have something to eat, eating only made the cramps worse. It was to the point that I couldn't put any more food in my mouth and I had tears in my eyes.

I'm at a loss for what to think. This seems unusual to me. No-one else I know gets this way.
