Is it the appendix that is causing this pain? Sometimes it goes away. I had this slight painful knot for the last two days.

Thanks!

I had a Cortisone inj. in my sholder yesterday and I still have extreme pain (same as before). My understanding from the Dr. was that this to feel better already. It does not take this long to work, does it?

i hurt my back a few weeks back and i went to the hospital. its nothing serious, just a torn muscle. they gave me some muscle relaxers but nothing that seems to really help the pain. so my friend gave me a couple pain pills. the thing is, he dont know what they are and i dont want to take a pill that i dont know what it is. it is a small green pill with eight sides. my question is this, is there a site that i can go and look at pics of pills to find out what i have. please give me a link if you can. thank you all in advance for taking the time to read this question

I had surgery on October 10th, It was a microfracture and some drain thing on the side of my knee.
Well since then, this is the last week of my recovery and I am very worried because its already thursday and my swelling hasn't gone all the way down. I have it compressed but haven't tried icing it alot. Is there other ways to reduce the swelling? Such as pills or exercise? As well I cannot bend my knee more than 0 to 80 degrees (Totally stinks)
Thanks

I have started to realize that this is have a severe impact on my health - It is making it where I can't sleep and I have a severe lack of energy ... How can I stay regular without using prescription drugs?

Let me clarify, first of all.
I'd say on average I pee about 10 times a day or slightly more. It's a lot per day, but only really extraordinary because I don't really consume that much fluids. I'm a 21 year old male, a little less than 200 pounds. Not completely in shape but not obese or dangerously out of shape either. I'm studying abroad in Taiwan right now.

When I drink a normal sized bottle of water in one sitting, I typically make trips to the bathroom very often for the next couple hours, maybe about two times per hour for about 2 hours. I haven't always had this problem. I'm scared to keep myself fully hydrated because I'm often out and about and don't want to be constantly visiting bathrooms.

I'm not sure about the quantity I urinate, but it seems to be a generous amount and I'd be surprised if I couldn't more than fill the bottle completely after a couple hours, if not less.

Does this sound like a problem anyone else has had?

My mom burned her hands really badly on a heating stove when she was 3 years old and they were operated on when it happened but she'd always had horrible problems with her hands since. Recently I've talked her into seeing a specialist but now we aren't sure what kind of specialist to see, a burn specialist or a hand specialist? Does anyone have any advice? Sorry I don't have technical terms for these things.
