My son just turned five. Two weeks ago he had pain in his right testicle. The pain got so bad he laid in bed crying and would not walk because it hurt to bad. I took him to the doctor and he said the right testicle was smaller, softer, and more tissuey than the left. Then he went on to say he might have sat on a toy wrong and that is why he was hurting. Tuesday he went for his five year check up and they found blood in his urine. They gave me a specimen cup to take home. They instructed me that in a week have him urinate in the cup first thing in the morning and bring it into them. Could the two problems be related somehow? I am worried, any advice on what causes blood in his urine would be appriciated.

I have spina bifida and wear leg braces. I have the worst time finding snow boots because I can't have a high heel at all, need one that opens up all the way (have a lip, tongue, whatever you call it), not one that you have to slide your foot way down into, ties up, AND can fit over my thick leg braces. Need wide width but most wide widths aren't wide enough, even 2ww sometimes aren't enough. HELP

Obviously not hanging upside down, but bending over forward with your lips on the bottom rim of the glass: swallowing upside-down. It works every time for me.

One of the main reasons I detest winter is that I shock so easily. Every time I touch something metal, I get the kind of shock that you can HEAR (ZAP!!). Ouch! Please help me. I wear rubber-soled shoes and I do my best to not drag my feet on the carpet and whatnot. Here's the thing: I don't shock myself at home. But all day at work, Ay! Dios mio!

I was sick about 3 weeks ago, went to the doc and he advised me to get Claritin. Worked the first day, then it didn't. I'm only congested and it's frurstrating, no sneezing, and a little bit of coughing. When I blow my nose, it's clear and very thick...I drink a lot of fluids...what else can I do?

My doctor is checking my blood for it because I've had a miserable stomach ache for the past week. I was just curious what symptoms someone else has had with it and what the antibiotic treatments were like. I have a persistant stomach ache, diarreah, gas and have just been miserable and uncomfortable. My X-rays came back clean but my urine showed I'm dehydrated and my blood showed I'm fighting and infection, but I'm still waiting for results on the H. Pylori.

Has anyone had a problem in their life's where one side of your face is uneven? For example, my right side of my face most likely in the jaw area looks uneven from my left side. It looks bigger.
What could it be? By pressing that area with my fingers i feel more cartilage, tendons or nerves than on my left side, and perhaps they are misplaced.
I just had my wisdoms removed and it went well.
Perhaps i need braces?
or a mouth guard to fix my jaw?
Can anyone help?

I know people yawn when they are bored or tired, but why does the body do it and why can't you force yourself to stop once it comes on? I figured that our bodies need a boost of air in our lungs and that is what I thought yawning purpose was, is there a different one?
Thanks
