Pain on right side of abdomen?

If you have a pain in your abdomen, you should probably go see a docteor, as you may have a ruptured appendix. The appendix has no known use, so if you're told you need to have it taken out, you're not going to die! The surgeon makes a small incision in the abdome, cuts it away from the intestine wall and sticks it in a jar for you to admire later. This operation only takes 30 minutes tops. Have you ever seen the movie Madeline? If you have, she goes to hospital for that reason; to have her appendix out. If you do have a ruptured appendix, (Appendictitis) and you leave it too long, you could end-up on your death-bed if you don't get treatment quick enough. So my advice to you is, if you are experiencing pain in your righ abdomen, go see a doctor NOW!!!

What causes lower left back pain and stomach pain?

AnswerIt is NOT appendicitis - if it were you wouldn't be able to submit the question because you'd be dead from a ruptured appendix after a few days, so disregard the previous answer.

The most likely cause is a disk herniation in the lower lumbar area. Disk nerve compression frequently causes pain that radiates into the stomach and side tissue. Depending on the location of the disk and severity of the problem, you may even feel pain and pressure in the groin area. It is extremely uncomfortable and painful.

You may also have pain radiatingi into your thigh, knee, side of the leg, small of the back off-center of the spine itself, or pain down the back of your legs. If you work in a profession where lifting is frequent, the constant aggravation prevents it from healing properly.

Back muscle spasms can also cause the same thing, but the pain is less likely to radiate into posterior tissue.

There are some OTC meds you can use to reduce inflammation, but you should get to your doctor. Untreated, disk herniations can lead to long-term serious mobility problems. Having endured 20+ years of them and 3 spinal surgeries, trust me when I say get it looked at - soon.

Can you feel pain while having a seisure?

It depends on the type of seizure the person has.

Grand mal seizures, the most widely known, which are full body convulsive seizures which will cause muscle pain as if you worked out all day without warming up. The person is noncontinuous during the seizure so any soreness comes after they would awake. Another common injury is you find, while all their muscles are convulsing, this including their jaw muscle, they bite their tongues (usually more severely than you might have done at dinner cause they can't immediately stop).

Then there is always the possibility that they could be in the middle of something that could cause a more serious industry if they had a seizure, for example: driving a car.

Does having a high tolerance for pain mean you could have a high tolerance for painkillers?

I think you find out by being in pain (not that I recommend it). Whenever I'm in pain I tend to start laughing uncontrollably, so that's how I deal with it.

Addendum:

Mythbusters performed an experiment regarding pain tolerance using a large container of ice water. The sensation of submersion in ice water is synonymous with pain, and will give you a good gauge by which you can determine your tolerance level in a relatively safe way.

Whats the difference between a strained nerve in the shoulder and a trapped nerve?

== == The word "strain" implies that there was an excess amount of force placed on the nerve and it was injured as a result. With a strain, one must rest the area for at least a week or longer depending on the amount of strain. Immediate application of ice within the first 12 hours would be appropriate and would help reduce the swelling and soreness. After the first 12 hours, application of warm moist heat is used to help soothe the area and increase circulation to the area which speeds healing.

The word "trapped" indicates that the nerve is trapped between two structures, usually bony structures. This results in continuous, or sometimes intermittent, pressure on the nerve which in turn causes inflammation and pain and/or numbness and tingling. Sometimes physical therapy, combined with moist heat and rest can reduce the entrapment. Other times surgery is needed to create new room for the nerve.

I feel sick to to my stomach have a headache and am tired all the time?

No contributor to this site can diagnose physical or mental illnesses, diseases, pregnancy or suggest medical procedures over the internet, nor is it the purpose of this site for them to do so. The best that can be offered is general advice which can never be personal to anyone asking a question as we are not aware of all the circumstances. If you are truly worried about your condition then you must seek local medical attention.

What are examples of radiating pain?

Radiating means spreading outward. Radiating pain is pain that starts in one area and spreads until a larger area hurts. Sometimes this is due to the nerves - for example, if a nerve gets pinched or pulled, it may hurt all along the nerve instead of just at the one spot that got hurt. Sometimes it is due to the body's attempt to compensate for the injury - for example, if you hurt your ankle, you may feel pain in the opposite leg as you try to avoid putting weight on that ankle.

What is it called when you enjoy the feeling of pain?

If you like pain sexually, then you are a masochist. If you've ever heard of S & M bondage, the S stands for Sadism, and the M stands for Masochism. Sadism is the exact opposite where you get sexual gratification from hurting others. They are often found together, and the two words have been combined to make Sadomasochism. I hope that helped! :)

Why is it when you eat store made lunchmeat you feel sick?

There might be some sort of enzyme you're missing. It might be a good idea to figure out what is causing these symptoms since it might be indicative of something else. Most of the time, its something simple, easily remedied and more beneficial to treat the underlying cause.

Why is there a strange pain in your right leg?

What could cause sharp pain on right side at pelvic bone?

The only thing that 'might' work is to drastically dilute the urine. So, I would try to take the pregnancy test as late in the day as possible and drink as much water as possible. You might get away with it during the early stages of pregnanacy when your HCG levels are low, but this will not work for long....

What are treatments for varicocele pain?

Usually we start with prescribing anti-inflammatory medication (or you can take over the counter ibuprofen, Alleve, etc.) and recommend wearing tighter fitting underwear, such as briefs or a jock-strap. If the pain continues or becomes severe, it's important to see a physician to make sure a varicocele is the only problem. There are surgical options available when the pain is severe, which include cutting out some of the excess vein and re-routing the blood flow (this is called a varicocelectomy). Most people who have varicoceles never experience pain and don't even know they have the condition unless a physician mentions it during a physical exam.

AnswerI'm also allergic to anti-inflamitory drugs like those. Anything else? AnswerThat depends what the "allergy" is. Many people say that they are allergic to a medicine if it makes them sick to their stomach or causes another minor side effect--this is not a true allergy, but a normal side effect of the medication. If the anti-inflammatory medications cause severe cramping, ulcers, or difficulty breathing/worsening of asthma, then they truly should be avoided. If it is stomach upset, some physicians still prescribe medications such as Celebrex, which are supposed to not upset the stomach as much (although they still can). If none of the medications can be used, though, then the other treatments I mentioned will have to be used. Certainly a little ice to the area could help as well, although I wouldn't recommend applying it directly to the varicocele area. AnswerThank you. If it makes any difference I am truly allergic to aspirin (I actually took Motrin IB at the time which caused swelling, rash, and difficulty breathing).

What could cause sharp constant pain on left side of body under rib down to hip?

Pain in that particular area could be indicative of a problem with the gallbladder, or even a stomach ulcer. The pain should be and stay in that same location to be considered a problem. If the pain persists, it may be inflammated and should definitely be looked at by a medical professional.

Shooting pain into left shoulder?

Some times these pains can be as a result of muscular activity. Perhaps you have been moving furniture around. There are other causes though and it may be as well to see a doctor and have it checked. If it is brought on by movement and becomes more severe then you should rest and ask your doctor to visit. If you can not get a visit or it is going to take a long time then go to hospital, calling an ambulance if necessary. Hope this helps.

How to relieve tailbone and sciatica nerve pain?

Get two tennis balls and but them in an old men's sock. Tie the end of the sock and then lie on the tennis balls or put the sock with the tennis balls against a door Frame and back against it and roll it up and down your static nerve. This should help release that tightness. Also lay flat on your stomach and have someone but the ball of their fist or their elbow into that nerve and gently rub until it releases sometimes they may have to try to pull your leg up and stretch it out for you. Then ice it for twenty minutes.
