You had discharge and stomach pains are you pregnant?

hi there.....your method of birth control really is about the worse thing you can do.... I think you are just having a very light period. However, go to your local drug store and buy a pregnancy test kit and follow the directions carefully.

Next, visit a doctor.............any doctor ...................and get on birth control pills. They are quite inexpensive. If you don't have the money, try your local planned parenthood clinic.

Also, if you don't have the money, what are you planning to do when you DO become pregnant......and you WILL, you know....guaranteed. A girl needs to plan her life, or else she will just ride the wave of whatever life throws her way and she will end up very, very sorry about it all.

You need to discuss these things with your mom, or dad. You will be discussing your pregnancy, otherwise. Which would you rather it be?

What wrong when you have a sharp pain in your right leg?

Cramping can be caused by any number of things. If it's right after you did some vigorous exercise, it can be a simple muscle strain. Some causes, like electrolyte imbalances and many neurological or metabolic diseases, would probably affect all muscles, not just one leg. There are rare exceptions, though.

Other things that can cause cramping-type pain in a leg include (but are not limited to)

- nerve problems (radiculopathy) originating in the back or lower down, like a nerve root that is getting leaned on (impinged) by a nearby structure

- neurological claudication, which is caused by narrowing of the space for the spinal cord (spinal stenosis), often relieved by leaning forward (as when pushing on a shopping cart)

- arterial claudication, caused by decreased blood flow to the leg, from blockage in an artery, often relieved by rest

- bone diseases in the leg may present with pain

If your leg gets worse over time, or if it doesn't get better with rest and over-the-counter remedies like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, you should see your health care practitioner (nurse practitioner, MD, DO) for an opinion.

How can you relieve tailbone pain?

Injuries to the coccyx rarely require a visit to the emergency department.

* Avoid sitting down for longer periods of time. When seated, sit on hard surfaces and alternate sitting on each side of the buttocks. Also, lean forward and direct your weight away from the tailbone.

* For traumatic injuries, apply ice to the tailbone area for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for the first few days after the injury.

* You can purchase a "doughnut" cushion or pillow to sit on. This cushion has a hole in the middle of it to prevent the tailbone from contacting the flat surface.

* Eat foods high in fibre to soften stools and avoid constipation.

What is the meaning of pain management?

Formal Pain Management is a program administered by a Pain Doctor or Pain Clinic, in which the patient voluntarily enters into a contract with the them. It's normally suggested where long term need for stronger pain medication (opiates) are required for moderate to severe chronic pain.

Typical contracts have the patient agree to only use one pharmacy, not "doctor shop" for painkillers, maintain a diary of pain experienced, visit the doctor or clinic at regular intervals, and usually for new patients enroll in counseling. The reason for counseling is the with chronic pain, depression is inevitable, and early counseling helps the patient cope with the cultural, medical and family issues that come with long term chronic pain.

For those of us with such problems, formal pain programs aren't as much of a big deal as it may seem. The program structure protects both doctor and patient from those who abuse the system, making it difficult for those who need real pain control.

I myself am in my 11th year of formal pain management, and it's just a part of life. While inconvenient at times, the alternative is excruciating pain with few options.

It's important that you find the right pain management program - there are too many regular doctors or specialists in other fields trying to cash in on the Pain Mgt. field. Stay away from Osteopaths, Anesthesiologists, Orthopedists, etc. who claim to be "Pain Specialists". Real Pain doctors have special training and certification in Pain Management and multiple Pain Control methods, not just drugs. Chiro, Accupressure, Accupuncture, Homeopathic, all are tools in a real pain doctor's kit.

It's also common among young people so, if I were you just look up your symptoms on google.
