to be fair a lot was cut off, but the pain is a lot. like a 6/10 and throbs allll day. and the swelling hasn’t gone down.

also my dentist did not use sutures or anything? just worried, but i’m also a worrier so. she looked at it today and said it looked fine, but online it says 3-4 days is when swelling should go down? i bite down on the gum when i shut my mouth 🥲

it’s crazy bc i have the yellow stools, the shoulder, chest, and back pain, the air hunger, feeling hot all the time.. but everything occurs on my left :(

clear ct, clear ultrasound, clear mri, mild gastritis on endoscopy

but at the same time, i understand why he wants me to rule out everything first! i did have h pylori in the beginning of the year but i completed treatment and nothing rlly changed. but i can eat acidic foods fine it’s fat that messes me up! anything over 15g kills me

just frustrated bc it already took me MONTHS to get here. he wants me to see a different gi and that in itself will probably take another month. he wants to rule out pancreatitis

just needed to vent.. i miss eating fat bro 😭😭

will an MRCP maybe reveal anything?? i’m going to ask my pcp for that next

she prescribed me moxy despite my glute medius tear.. and she wouldn’t budge. i know it isn’t a tendon but i rather not risk it.

i tried getting a prescription thru amazon medical but my dumbass mentioned that she prescribed me moxy when i should of just pretended she didn’t give me anything lol, the np was nice but didn’t wanna go against what she prescribed.

i’m desperate at this point, is it possible to get prescribed thru goodrx if i lie and say it’s for acne mayhaps? scared if i do video call they’ll just point out that my skin’s clear.

also: should i still take 7 days doxy beforehand if they’re in the same antibiotic class?

edit: thank you all for the advice!! just sent an order thru telyrx, waiting on getting the rx approved

i have a left partial glute medius tear that isn’t really approving with pt, but i also have a hypertonic pelvic floor so i think they’re battling each other out a bit.

i’m thinking of surgery, would it be an easier heal at 25? and has anyone else had this? can’t find a lot of stories. i miss running so much :(

also!!! does anyone know if compensation can lead to knee swelling? my left knee is swelling bad and i can’t think of any other reason

I’m 2 weeks away from 2 months and still having only loose stools! i know it could take up to 3 months but im just seeking some reassurance 🥲 thank you

my symptoms:

stomach gurgling / pain
burping after eating anything
diarrhea an hour after eating fatty foods
left abdominal pain
headaches
dry eyes
neck/shoulder pain
bad sleep

my report:

EXAMINATION: NUCLEAR MEDICINE BILIARY SCAN GALLBLADDER (HIDA) WITH PHARMACEUTICAL EJECTION FRACTION
HISTORY: Unspecified abdominal pain
TECHNIQUE: After the intravenous injection of 5.4 mCi of technetium 99m labeled mebrofenin, multiple delayed planar views of the liver and biliary system were obtained.
CORRELATIVE STUDIES: No existing relevant imaging studies for correlation.
FINDINGS: There is immediate appearance of radiotracer within the hepatic parenchyma. The right and left hepatic ducts are visualized at 10 minutes and the common bile duct at 10 minutes. There is appearance of radiotracer within the small bowel and the gallbladder lumen at 15 and 25 minutes, respectively. There is continued accumulation of radiotracer within the gallbladder throughout the remainder of the study. After the patient ingested the Ensure, the calculated gallbladder ejection fraction was 28% at 50 minutes. Normal range is 30-80%
IMPRESSION: Unremarkable study except for decreased ejection fraction suggesting gallbladder dyskinesia.

is the doctor right? :( was hoping this would be the answer to everything

25f, been dealing with a plethora of health issues. digestive issues, abdominal pain, constant stomach and intestinal gurgling, back pain, brain fog, dehydration. all left sided!

i treated h pylori a few months ago but the pain has gotten worse and i don’t believe that it would still be this painful! after treatment i started feeling good for a few days and had some fried chicken and was back into constant pain mode. i completely stopped smoking weed may 31st and wonder if the daily weed maybe kickstarted all this.

i didn’t think it could be my gallbladder until i had pizza one day and was in horrible pain for days after.

my sister and grandma both had their gallbladders removed, but my pain hasn’t touched my right side once! all my scans were clear, hida scan is next fr.

i’ve lost 30 lb in the span of 2 and a half months and had to take a break from work and school, move back w family for help :( i’m so afraid of eating anything it’s really rhe hardest health journey of my life. i didn’t realize how much i emotionally relied on food 🥺

i’ve read stories of sole left sided pain but i guess i just needed to vent and hear more. i’m so depressed bro i feel like i lost everything! i know it could be worse and everyone tells me so but man it’s hard. the pain is constant.

*saw, my bad.

25f, i know my body. i know i feel a bulge in my rectum. and i know my cervix is lower than it’s ever been.

went to my same obgyn again (after seeing another who dismissed me, so this is my third time) to ask for a standing digital exam. she refused and went off on me, saying i need to get off the internet and stop freaking out before she refers me to a psychiatrist. the most she did was refer me to a pain specialist.

mind you i brought my mom for moral support and she agreed with her tremendously.

i’m so depressed. she’s the only one who can refer me, my pcp said this is her business. my pain is intense every second of the day and at this point i’m losing hope in living.

25f, never had kids. not diagnosed yet, but i’ve had constipation and have been digitally splinting thru my rectum. recently, there’s been a huge fleshy blockage in my rectum. thought it was a hemorrhoid before i realized it’s my cervix pushing thru my vaginal wall. i’ve never been able to even feel my cervix before..

seen 2 obgyns that refused to test me sitting up. gonna try again w one tomorrow and ask for a dynamic pelvis mri.

i’ve always been a stainer on the toilet unfortunately, and before this month i usually smoked everyday and coughed a lot.

this is ruining my mental health tremendously. i want kids so bad one day but this pain is insane. my pelvis hurts so badly. is there a surgery i can get and still have kids? i don’t even care if it has to be a c section.

i’m so scared this is sibo 🫩 it’s with every deep breath. i just wanna eat man

i recently turned 25 and i’ve been smoking since 15.. it’s been my medicine all my life! so crazy how it’s turned on me.

i didn’t realize it was chs for a minute! got countless mris and ultrasounds done. was smoking thru out it like a dumbass. to be fair i wasn’t vomiting!! but when i started dry heaving i kinda put two and two together… also i smoked weed again one day to help the pain and it intensified TENFOLD. i deadass fell to my knees. also plz don’t shy away from telling doctors abt your weed use!! i definitely did not. i also had h. pylori but i’m p sure i was an asymptomatic carrier before, my whole family has it and are fine. i finished the antibiotics and still felt like shit :(

my symptoms were insanee. like constant yellow floaty diarrhea, abdominal burning, hip/lower back/pelvis pain, brain fog, extreme dehydration. it even triggered some tmj for me 😭 to be fair though before i knew it was chs i was in CONSTANT stress mode. like crying multiple times a day because i had to take so much time off work and school due to this.

now it’s day 9 no weed, and after a couple days of feeling better i woke up feeling like shit again today. it’s so intense. i’m trying so hard to be patient, and to stop searching things up, but it’s so challenging for me. weed was my binky bro, i feel so disorganized and sick without it.

i wanted to know if anyone else who’s been smoking 10+ years of carts has any advice? i promise i’ll never touch weed again. like i’m traumatized bad lol. i just want to be able to eat again.. my poor gut is so raw, i’m scared i might even have gastritis now. just really needed to vent too, can’t even tell my mom what i’m going thru bc i told her i stopped smoking weed ages ago bc it broke her heart :((( i feel so guilty because she’s been my rock throughout this.

begged my doctor to change the order but the mri is tomorrow so i just gotta accept that.

i’m in so much pain that i had to move back home for my family to take care of me. i’m so scared that this mri will show nothing and i’ll have to beg doctors to take me serious again.

i’m getting a pelvis and hip mri, has anyone had a tear be found with a 1.5T no contrast mri?? i just want my life back 🥲

so i’ve been having intense hip pain, like i can’t even walk anymore. it was truly the most excruciating thing i’ve felt in my life. i’m 25f, 5’6, 150lb, and i’m currently on antibiotics for h pylori (completely unrelated, got triggered by the stress i had about my hip)

i have an mri on thursday and i hope to finally have some answers!!! everyone (including me) thinks it’s a hip labrum tear (intensified w sitting and exercise, 27/4 10/10 pain 😢)

went to ER yesterday, ER doctor was very dismissive! but i understood her job is a lot so i tried to be positive.

i got a methylprednisolone shot, which is hurting even worse now so i expect a cortisol flare. but what got me is she prescribed the pills as well. i always search for drug interactions to be safe (and because this sounded strange) and so far i’m seeing that this might be a medical error?? but if not i will do anything for this pain to stop. it’s making me put nursing school on hold and it breaks my heart.

i’m just scared that this is a real medical error idk. i’d hate for her to accidentally prescribe too much to anyone else. my apologies if this is normal to do

thank you for reading!!!

it started with left hip pain, but looking back i have been way more depressed and anxious this entire year.

my mom has had h pylori all her life and lives with it fine, so i just assumed i’d never experience this.

ok so the hip pain, i went to the ER around 4 times for it and every time it was clear scans / tests. i start to feel like i’m crazy, and speculate that i might have a hip labrum tear.

weeks go by where i ignore the pain and BOOM it starts traveling upwards. now it’s in my hip AND lower abdomen. but mostly abdomen, travels back to my hip when i sit too long.

ER doesn’t help again. my stress is off the charts. i suddenly remember my mom has h pylori and get tested. it was positive 🥲

i’m currently on day 7 but the lower abdomen pain (travels to upper back sometimes) is so excruciating. i do NOT want to go back to the ER, but my mom says her h pylori flare ups have never been this bad.

it doesn’t help that i’m in nursing school. i feel like a mess i can’t think straight thru this pain and i’m crying like a little baby all day.

i’m taking 2 amoxicillin in the morning / night (12 hr gap), 1 clari in morning and night (same time as amoxicillin), and protonix 30 min before breakfast and dinner. i also take pepto bismo with both meals and 2x in the day. also taking floraster probiotics and zinc carosine once a day. i haven’t been hydrated enough though because even water hurts.

i also cant hold down anything but bananas and crackers. i tried plain chicken and paid the price. it’s like my body is rejecting EVERYTHING. even b12 supplement droplets irritate me (i think!) i’ve lost 10lb already and look insane

also my mom refuses to get tested… and it’s a HUGE household of people. so i guess i will be hand sanitizer-d up every time i visit.

has anyone dealt with this type of pain??? i feel so bad for my boyfriend because i’m constantly complaining and depressed and i miss kissing so much. i want to be my bubbly self around him again. i needed to vent more than anything, thank you for reading. plz let me know if this is normal, my left abdomen feels like it’s being constantly stabbed and prodded. i’m trying so hard to be optimistic.
