Can they cause addiction?
I've been feeling tension since I was 1, now I'm 26 and tired of muscle tension and tension headaches, massage doesn't help or regular pain medicine.

I graduated from college and started working as an assistant manager at a retail drug store 6 months ago. Since then I have been in the worst health possible. I've gotten the shingles 3 times. The first time was the rash the next 2 times my back was killing me. I've also gotten a cold or flu twice. I understand the cold or flu couldhave been caused by me being around people all day. But how could I get the shingles 3 times? My immune system would have to go down in order to get them. I'm only 22. I was under more stress in college and never had these problems. I haven't been able to see a doctor about this because my current insurance left me with too high bills. I'll be switching to a better insurance on Jan 1. I'm a little impatient so I was wondering what could be causing my immune system to go down? I don't do drugs or anything horrible so don't say I have HIV or AIDS.

Two weeks ago I had sinus surgery and a septoplasty (straightening of the septum) and today, I went to have some splints removed and ever since I left I have had a bloody nose. It is not coming out fast, but it is pretty persistent and I am not sure if it is actually new blood, or just blood that was in my sinuses that is just now draining. What should I do?

Hi there, I am a 23 year old male. I have abdominal pain issues and don't know what I may be caused from.

I have been having lower left quadrant pains since early September 2007. I went to a walk in clinic to get checked out and the doctor ordered an Ultrasound for me....apparently nothing showed up...and he thought that it would possibly be diverticulitis. I have been constantly having abdominal pains in the lower left, and now lower right.....sometimes even in the upper right and left quadrants (right below my rib cage).....My feces are alternating with sticky and diarhea..ish. And sometimes there is blood when I wipe my rectum.

I have developed a nagging hoarseness cough since November 2007 now and it has still not gone away along with these abdominal pains.....I am quite scared because I know that some colon cancers (hopefully i don't have) spread through the blood to the lungs. I do feel like this cough is caused from my abdomen though since I do not have cold like symptoms

okay, so sometimes [alot actually!] when I just stand up I get hot/sweaty-ish. Mostly my face, back of my neck, and arms. Is this because of my hair, or b/c I'm overweight, or both? Its not really when I am walking around, i'm usually fine then, but say like in school when i'm in choir and we are standing doing warm ups or in church when we have to stand, sit, kneel, im okay with the other two but standing i get hot and when i sit and kneel I cool back off.

It just gets annoying.
Maybe it'll go away when i lose more weight.

I am very active person that is looking for insight or treatment so that I can still participate in sports activities. What kind of doctor should I see, a neurologist or a sports medicine? I fell on my butt and I have had a problem since. I experience weakness in my leg and pain after a short while of being active. I have had ex-rays that say my back is fine. Thanks

I've done it for the past few days, but now I can't do it. I already wasted 2 pills today. There capsules and when I drink it with water my tongue seems to block the pill, but not the water. The water makes the coat of the capsule thinner, so it then comes apart. I'm only 11 and my mom keeps telling me to put it all the way to the back of my throat and then take big gulps of water. Even that I can't do, but I've done it before. I've done it yesterday, the day before, the day before that, and the day before that. I don't know why I can't take it anymore. I've even tried eating a banana then adding the pill. It's one of those capsule pills that can't be crushed. My pill is for gasritis, so I can't take it with yogurt, chocolate, or milk (any lactose). No, I don't have apple sauce. I'm not scared of choking, I'm scared of taking the pill. I know I can do it and I'm thinking positive, but it just won't go down. When it seems to slide down I push it back up. Please help me.

I have pretty bad headaches (enough to wake me up) when I'm laying down but I"m fine during the day when I'm up moving around.

I plan to call the doctor when I come back from my trip next week, but I'm curious what it might be in the interim. thanks

Hi,

I am 15 years old and for the past 3 or so weeks, I have been having some problems.

My chest occasionally burns, my esophagus feels inflamed, and i feel this acid gunk run up my throat....also, I breathe really deep for no reason once in a while, and burp ALOT.
I went to the doctors 1 1/2 weeks ago and they took chect xrays and checked my heart and they said my lungs and heart were fine...they said it MAY be Acid Reflux. So they told me to take this medicine (it starts witha P i forget) and Mylanta.
Well, I didnt do anything for a week and now this past week it started up again...
Could it be acid reflux?
I really don't want to go back to the doctors...
but I'm scared...and I don't want to die of it or anything...

i had a cold maybe a month ago.
and i didnt take any medicine really.
i ended up developing strept throat.
and i got the antiobiotics for it.
and it was a weeks worth.
and i finished it maybe a week and a half ago...i think?

but now ive been dizzy for a week. lightheaded/headache...
and my mom said that may be because i have an ear infection

on top of that sometimes my right ear popped and hurts and stuff. and i have a hard time sleeping at night. should i sleep on the ear that hurts or the other ear? ( it doesnt hurt when i sleep or anything ) i just think that may be the cause of why i wake up a lot lately during the night.

also, is there anything to help the ear infection or my dizziness, while i wait for my doctors appointment?

What happens at the very first pain management appointment? And also my doc gave me a script for Lortabs which I've been on for months and gave me just enough til I go to pain management. Does that pretty much mean that the PM doctor will refill my script???? Is that normally where pain meds come from? thanks

he may have heart problems. he has poor circulation in his legs. he has had chest pains. he just has a lot of medical problems that need to be taken care of, and a main reason he refuses to go to the doctor is because of the cost. our family doesn't make a lot of money, but he really needs to get some help.

Well at first I never had nose bleeds, then I started having nose bleeds every few weeks. But recently it went from every few weeks, to every couple of days and now to 2 or 3 a day. They don't go on for long but after I have these migarines and feel dizzy. I am worried it might be luekima.
