Question: My 12 year old boy has Pectus Excavatum…should he continue wearing posture brace?

My 12 year old boy was recently diagnosed with mild Pectus Excavatum. He’s having NO symptoms or difficulties. About a month prior to the diagnosis we had bought a brace for his posture. It’s worn similar to a backpack with a strap around the ribs. My question is..should we continue to have him wear the brace, and if so how often/long? We want to still help his posture if we can but don’t want to make the PE worse. His posture is definitely not the best but we wonder now if it’s not as bad as we thought but the PE is making it look worse.

Question: I need to urinate every 15 minutes…now using my mother’s diaper

Sudden onset of frequent urination literally every 15 to 20 min and after about 7 hrs of this and having to use one of my mothers diapers I notice there is a pink tent on the diaper this is with no pain. I normally keep myself well hydrated by drinking 8 to ten glades of water a day but for the past few days have needed almost double that amount for unknown reason unless it is the sinus dds I have had to take for the last several weeks terrible sinus drainage to the point of having to sit up to sleep or drown!!all over counter meds as I do not like prescription meds what can e causing this??

Question: Had gallbladder surgery – Feel I still have it – Surgeon says encountered problems…

Had gallbladder removed 4 years ago. All tests prior to surgery showed nothing but final diagnosis was Chronic Cholecystitis.
It was adhesed to intestines and duodenum.
After surgery I seemed to do ok for a while but then the nagging rib and mid back pain started up again. Felt like I still had gallbladder.
Finally this year I got the surgeons report from surgery and noted an introperative cholangiogram was done.
It says the surgeon had difficulty getting the dye in and made 3 attempts and noted a filling defect was seen in the mid common bile duct. I was never told this. The radiology report also makes not of the filling defect.
My question is
Is it possible to have a stone stay in the duct for this long?
Is the cholangiongram considered abnormal?
Wouldn’t I be jaundiced if this was causing the pain? I read about Sphincter of Oddi and wondered if that could cause this but I don’t vomit so I’m not sure.
I also woneed if it is a bile duct injury that could cause this pain. It’s like havin a constant stich in your side and it radiates to my back and makes my back hurt and it hurts to move

Question: I’m on Weightwatchers- eat not a lot really – I’m sick of all this substituting what can I try?

I’m struggling with my weight at the moment and it’s really bringing me down. I always have battled with it and as a result I’m a yo-yo dieter. I currently weigh 11 stone 10 pounds ( recently gone down from 12 stone 5 pounds) but nothing seems to be shifting despite my diet. I am 21 years old and 5 ft 3 so BMI wise this is quite high. I am on weightwatchers and have been for nearly a month and progress now has stopped. I have to live daily on not a lot really and if I have a chocolate craving I have to eat a Yorkie bar in place of a meal which to me just isn’t fair. I’m sick of all this substituting and dieting and was wondering if there’s anything else I can try. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not very active but I have personal reasons for that.

I appreciate your help.
