Starting about 3 days ago, I have been having c loudy urine with slight irritation. The first time it happened, I wrote it off as nothing but now since its continuing I'm getting a bit ... concerned ( for lack of a better word ). I did sone reading online and it was kind of helpful. It pretty much told me that ( with my signs ) I either have a urinary tract infection, or its just my body flushing out a n illness. I have had a runny nose for the past week so that may be it but the irritation is whats throwing me off. Thoughts?
Cranberry juice is good for you if you're developing a UTI

Just recently i had a bowel movement that was half solid and half diarrhea. I was fine for a while but then i had a really bad urge to use the bathroom out of nowhere again and this time it lasted longer and was mostly diarrhea, it lasted for around ten minutes and burnt torwards the end.
[QUOTE=WubWubWompWomp;36366905]hold on, you can't find your toe? thats kinda definitely a yes.[/QUOTE] I'm sure it's fine, don't need a doctor any more, I found a carrot piece that kind of looks like the toe that I guled there instead and it works just fine.

i've had a sharp pain near my left lung for the last week or two whenever i cough or stretch i had a cold a week or two ago and still have a bit of a cough/stuffy lungs from it. could that be the cause of the pain, is there anything i can do to ease the pain, and should i see a doctor?
There's been a pain right below my left kneecap for 4 months. At first it didn't hurt and I shook it off and continued to play sports and lift. But lately its been hurting bad, especially after I workout and run for 2 hours. Any idea on what it might be?
I just got back from the Emergency Room... I went because I've had a mid to high grade fever for over a week and a half now, and it hasn't broken. It turns out the reason is because I had the flu initially, which lasted about a week. Then my body fought it off and began to recover, but right as it began to do so, my weakened immune system failed to fight off the incoming pneumonia that I now have. So yeah now I have pneumonia. I had to get IV fluid and antibiotics and was in the hospital for about two hours
So lately I've been feeling tiredness and fatigue. My hands and feet are cold.. I think it's Iron deficiency anemia, I've been through it before.
you should probably go see a doctor then, to confirm

But sometimes it develops so quickly, or you feel as if you don't need to because you're recovering. Great tip, if the fever is extreme and lasting more than 3 days, and not getting better in a significant amount of time (can't break it or appease it), go to your GP, i don't care if your health insurance sucks, the bill will be much shorter than the alternative in a week. Same goes for coughing, if over the counter dextromethrophan cough meds aren't doing anything, after a few days, go to your doctor, especially if you're out of breath.
Is Oxycocet supposed to make me temporarily go blind for 5 minutes? I had to take it as pain reliever for a dental surgery.
I have a raised horizontal ridge on my left thumbnail. I stubbed it kinda badly a few weeks ago but I only noticed this bump today. Do I have anemia or something? Will it grow out eventually?
I've had a sore eye for about 5 days now. Anything I can do to stop the irritation?
So i have a cold at the moment. Water, Milk, and tea all taste really bad and leave a nasty aftertaste. Is there anything i can do to stop this since i need to drink, but i dont want to due to the taste. Would Gatorade be a replacement for water?

I don't know why I'm posting this here but here goes: So for the last few days I've been having some severe pain around my waist. By severe, I mean so bad that I can bend or walk. At first I thought it was just a cramp or something and tried to bear it. Then I started to have a fever. Eventually, I went to the clinic. They performed the usual tests, including a urine test to see if I had a problem with my kidneys. Everything turned out normal, even my weight (which is surprising to me because I'd always been overweight as a kid) and the doctor there chalked it off to muscle strain. I thought I was fine after that, since for the rest of the day the pain was fairly mild and seemed to be going away for good. Then, today happened. Today it hurts even worse. [I]Much[/I] worse. I have no idea what it could be, but I don't think it's just muscle pain. My entire lower torso feels like it was kicked repeatedly, and getting up from the bed took about 20 minutes to do because of how slowly I had to move. I have no idea what to do, because mild painkillers like Ibuprofen don't help very much at all. What could it be and what the hell can I do?
uhm... i'd probably go see a doctor at this point [editline]26th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=WingedAssailant;36496138]So i have a cold at the moment.

The IV antibiotics really kicked the pneumonia's ass though, my fever has disappeared, but my cough still lingers (which they gave me codeine for so that's ok) Now I've been sleeping all day :v:
Anyone here tried earspray? My right ear has been bugging me, getting clogged and so on, so I decided to buy some and try it in my ear. Problem now is that my ear is even more clogged and there's oil constantly dripping out. It says I have to spray 1 time a day for 3 days, so I'll see what happens the next days.
olive oil's good for the ears! helps to break down wax and clear it out. application can be a little messy though

[QUOTE=jaykray;36521061]You can get your ears syringed if wax is causing trouble hearing.[/QUOTE] It's alright now. I managed to fish the biggest piece of disgusting alien ear-wax blobber out of my right ear yesterday, with a tweezer. My hearing is back to normal.

I just had my teeth cleaned clinicly.. The bottom part didn't bother me at all. In fact i joked about it not hurting at all. That's when she went berserk on the top part and the foreteeth. She could have told me that that is the most sensitive part of the mouth. Now i've been spitting blood for about 1 hour. Good life! [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] And no i don't have horrible teeth but it's a preventive measurement. [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] So i guess i came here for advice on how to stop the ouchy in my mouthy.
Swill warm salt water around in your mouth (don't swallow it though) [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] Actually, that will probably really hurt, but it will make it better in the long run. Probably.
