Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I am 25 years of age male from India, In the year 2016, that is exactly in the month of May i had a mild pain in my left abdomen and later in the end of the month, it eventually the pain was increased and on june i consulted my family doctor for the treatment, later after CT scan, there was 5mm Stone in left kidney (oxalate stones) and for 3 months have took the antibiotics and followed the treatment also. Later i could see there was no pain at all in my abdomen.

Then i have transferred to another state of India from my hometown on November 2016, where after that there was a pain in same lower abdomen on left side and continued for a month, so again on december 2016 i had a CT scan, bu the result shows that i don’t have an stones at all in my kidney.

But for the past one month i have a pain in my same place and once in a week , there is a digestive problem also . So kindly guide me what i have to do.



I have been getting stomach pain that feels like a bad gnawing pain?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Female 40 years non smoker, occasional alcohol, going through early menopause.

For the past 5 weeks I have been getting stomach pain that feels like a gnawing very bad hunger pain. The pain feels like it is mid abdominal/ behind my belly button and quite deep inside. Sometimes it feels like there is pulsing sensation. Even after a big meal I still feel hungry, it has even woken me at night a couple of times. Occasional nauseous but never vomited. I have been prescribed two courses of antibiotics, currently half way through second and also omeprazole. I started feeling a bit better but now I am back where I started. I am starting to think it could be something more serious.



I had inguinal hernia surgery (laparoscopic), pain hasn’t gone away?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I had inguinal hernia surgery (laparoscopic) on Nov 17th. I have been experiencing testicular and scrotum pain for about 2 months. My doctor said it will go away in three months, ever I feel that it is getting worse. It’s been hurting after I masturbate and light exercise, which I have since stopped, however the pain does not go away. I can’t do normal things like shopping without the pain in my scrotum. Is this normal or is something else going on? I was told that masturbation does not cause the pain, but I know it does. Will this pain ever go away?

Hi. I’m 41 years old female. I have terrible earache and sore throat only on the right side. I had TMJ on the left side of my face after I had dental work. I had no signs or symptoms of it before dental work. I had to open my mouth too long. I saw ENT doctor afterwards and the medications she gave seemed to work for pain. I waited two months to heal to finish my dental work. But again after I had a filling the pain came back worse than before. I have been taking Sirdalud and Tilcotil with the oral surgeons suggestion. The symptoms of TMJ is decreasing I got terrible ear ache and sore throat on the right side. Nothing seem to work. It gets worse at night. I started to take Zimaks. Its second day and I still have pain. What might be the reason for this? I have seen ENT again but didn’t help.



I get spinal injections for pain relief but I still have terrible pain?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

In 1996 I was thrown into a fence by a horse. In 2000 I started having pain in my neck and arm. I was put on morphine and percocet which my new doctor finally got me off of last September. He had me get a spinal injection which worked great until Dec so I went for another one and have been in agony ever since. I saw him 2 days ago, he gave me 2 shots where the pain is and told me to keep my 1/31 appt for the next spinal injection but I am still in so much pain in my neck that I can’t hold my head up, I’m flat on my back with a heating pad alternating with an ice pack. I can’t deal with this pain for another week. Please help and tell me what I should do.



I have lower back and abdominal pain feels similar to the period pains but in between periods?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I’m a 23 year old female. I have been having lower back and abdominal pain that feels similar to the period pains I get, but it’s happening in between periods. The pain is so severe that it causes my teeth to chatter. I am taking the contraceptive pill – rigivedon. The pain only lasts maybe 10 minutes and is at random but does interrupt whatever I’m doing at the time. The pain is all around my lower back and lower abdomen- not just one side



I have pain throughout my body, I don’t know what it is?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

It all started from the age 19, i had pain on my knee,left/right suppose right knee and the after few days it circulated to my right elbow then to the left elbow and then to the left knee and the pain vanished. It kept occurring in about 2 weeks, then slowly the pain started increasing it started hurting from my knee below, the circulation occurred and vanished. I used to apply gel and bandages because i thought its jus the normal pain. It continued and almost after 2 years or so the pain started getting extreme and the whole leg and hold hand started paining. I realized its not usual pain so i went and checked, because it started from the knee they inspected my bones and all my results were clear. After going to few doctors they said its not a bone problem may be nerves, i went to check again and they suspected it to be arthritis but since nothing could be seen on my bones they weren’t sure about it. The pain now attacks my whole leg and my lower back, if my hand then whole hand my upper back. Many times i have had very severe pain throughout my body and i freeze i cannot move anything and if i do it hurts even more. I feel like someone is poking me with a very sharp thing all over my body, all i do is take a painkiller and sleep. Once when it was paining so much i happened to take 3 painkillers in the difference of an hour and my face started swelling like an allergic patient and i was rushed to the hospital and given allergic stuffs which cooled it down i just wanted the pain to cool down so i took unknowingly that these things might happen. I don’t know what it is and haven’t figured it out. Do you have any idea?i am 27 now.

I had pains when swallowing, tired when exerting with unbearable pain. On and off?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

i am currently having dull pains worse when swallowing but it’s lower down and not in my throat. It is not on my left aside. I was having some heart problems before for 4-5 years, but they come and go. Currently they have gone. I am even climbing to the 2nd and 3rd floor without a problem. When I have it -has been few months at a time- I feel too tired to walk much, and exertion makes me unwell. In those periods I have severe chest pains which come only from exertion, with details as attached. They are unbearable but only last 1-5 minutes.Once it improves I feel like all is well.

Currently I am not having them. I have attached 1 picture of my answers to the webmd website symptom checker, which is for the earlier problem , and 1 word file also from the webmd website symptom checker about my difficulty swallowing. I am a female, 58, around 62 Kg and 5’3″
