I had a chilies burger and fries at 9 o clock and everything was fine till i woke up randomly at 4 and started experiencing sharp stomach pains. i can't get back to sleep because of this. i have taken 4 tums, and sipped on a sprite. nothing is working and i don't feel like i need to throw up or go to the bathroom. what do i do?! they hurt really bad and i can't go to sleep. it's now 7 in the morning. help!!
Answer:
It's the beans! They're giving you gas cramps, I've done the same thing before, and too, the fiber in the beans will act as kinda like a laxative!
Drink some water. Try to make yourself go to the bathroom. If the pain continues, have a friend take you to the emergency room.

I believe you are suffering from stomach ulcers. you see your docter... what happens is you will feel paid after eating chilli/hot food or after not eating for a long time
you should eat reqularly, avoid spicy food and acidic/fizzy drinks. after seeing your docter it should take approximately 5 days and everything will be cool again though with the chances of not being fine if you keep to your current diet.
stomach ulcer = corrotion of the epithelium covering a surface of the stomach. it is triggered by the stomach acid or spicy food.
sometimes even when hungry and there is nothing in the stomach...(let you imagination run wild). Get well soon and avoid spicy food man.

Sharp stabbing pelvic pain?
Earlier this week I had a moment where I had to lie down because my lower abdomen (right below my belly button down) started feeling like it was being stabbed. It was really sharp pain that was really intense but only lasted for a minute. I chalked it up to a weird fluke or muscle spasm but today it happened again but for 5 minutes. I am going to make an appointment tomorrow when my doctors office opens but am a little worried. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to expect? Thanks for your help.
Answer:
the appendix is located in the right lower quadrant of abdomen.
but also gas can feel the same way, good idea to keep the doctor's appointment. if the pain intensifies, continues to come and go, and if you have a fever, these are all good reasons to go to the E.R.
Like the last person said, it may be appendicitis. This sounds like me when I had to go to the ER for it (I was a kid, then). It is life threatening, and should be taken *very* seriously.
Go to the Emergency Room ASAP. If it turns out to be nothing, at least you can be sure of that, and not have to guess, anymore.

Sharp pain in my arms after a sneeze?
What causes this? This has happened to me as long as I can remember. It is usually just one arm, but sometimes both. It's not every sneeze, just the really hard ones.
Answer:
I can relate.
I am curious if this is HEART related.

Sharp pain in back of my head.. not coming from neck?
know, I know, "call your doctor". Before I did that, I was just curious to see if anyone else had experienced the same thing.
I've been getting horrible pain in the back of my head for awhile now. First it was only if I turned my head a certain way. Now, it's when I chew or do anything really(jerk my head too fast, when i turn over in bed...) I'm 37 weeks pregnant.. and just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced anything similar.
Think this could be pregnancy related? Or should I call my regular doctor. It just started a few weeks ago. Never had this pain before in my life.
Answer:
I get them sometimes when I'm on the computer for an excessive amount of time...IDK why, I Just do.

Shaking when..?
whenever i eat, take a picture , hold something in my hand, i shake. not really bad but it started to worry me. im only 13.
anyone know if this is ok.. or what?
Answer:
You need to get checked for diabetes. It can cause shaking if the food is high in carbs and turns into suger. It could be as simple as nerves though.
could be nerves, but could be something far worse like MS - see your doctor
See your Doctor ... you may be lacking nutrition. Good Luck
It could be a number of things. A pinched nerve, not eating right etc. If it continues go see your doctor.
It is a problem that a lot of people have. But it doesn't mean that you will not be able to function in this world. It is usually neurological. And if you feel worried about it have your parents to that you to a doctor.
If it's enough to worry you, it's enough to talk to your doctor about. Some people always have a slight tremor when a muscle contracts, but in most cases, it can be due to diabetes/hypoglycemia, ms (multiple sclerosis), some kinds of vitamin/mineral deficiencies, coffee drinking or drinking any of the new caffeine-loaded "power" drinks and a lot of other things. It will require medical tests to find the cause or rule things out.
You may possibly just have degenerate tremors that could be caused by simple dehydration or lack of other things, but it could be a possible early sign of pakinsons you need to see a doctor
It could also mean that you are drinking too much caffeine in your soda, or other beverages.

Severe pain in my shoulder...?
I have severe pain in my left shoulder that is moving up my neck and down my arm. I also have pins and needles feeling in the painful area. This does not feel like muscle pain and there is nothing that I can remember happening to me in the last few days that could have caused this. My question is what could this be and does any one have any ideas as to how I can relieve the pain? I took 800mg of motrin a few hours ago and that did not give me any relief. I know that everyone will say that I need to go to the doctor. I have an appointment tonight at 7:00 so there is quite a bit of time between now and then to suffer this pain. Any ideas?
Answer:
These conditions are closely related and may occur alone or in combination. If the rotator cuff and bursa are irritated, inflamed, and swollen, they may become squeezed between the head of the humerus and the acromion. Repeated motion involving the arms, or the aging process involving shoulder motion over many years, may also irritate and wear down the tendons, muscles, and surrounding structures.
Tendinitis is inflammation (redness, soreness, and swelling) of a tendon. In tendinitis of the shoulder, the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon become inflamed, usually as a result of being pinched by surrounding structures. The injury may vary from mild inflammation to involvement of most of the rotator cuff. When the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and thickened, it may get trapped under the acromion. Squeezing of the rotator cuff is called impingement syndrome.
Tendinitis and impingement syndrome are often accompanied by inflammation of the bursa sacs that protect the shoulder. An inflamed bursa is called bursitis. Inflammation caused by a disease such as rheumatoid arthritis may cause rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis. Sports involving overuse of the shoulder and occupations requiring frequent overhead reaching are other potential causes of irritation to the rotator cuff or bursa and may lead to inflammation and impingement.
What Are the Signs of Tendinitis and Bursitis?
Signs of these conditions include the slow onset of discomfort and pain in the upper shoulder or upper third of the arm and/or difficulty sleeping on the shoulder. Tendinitis and bursitis also cause pain when the arm is lifted away from the body or overhead. If tendinitis involves the biceps tendon (the tendon located in front of the shoulder that helps bend the elbow and turn the forearm), pain will occur in the front or side of the shoulder and may travel down to the elbow and forearm. Pain may also occur when the arm is forcefully pushed upward overhead.
How Are These Conditions Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of tendinitis and bursitis begins with a medical history and physical examination. X rays do not show tendons or the bursae but may be helpful in ruling out bony abnormalities or arthritis. The doctor may remove and test fluid from the inflamed area to rule out infection. Impingement syndrome may be confirmed when injection of a small amount of anesthetic (lidocaine hydrochloride) into the space under the acromion relieves pain.
How Are Tendinitis, Bursitis, and Impingement Syndrome Treated?
The first step in treating these conditions is to reduce pain and inflammation with rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medicines such as aspirin, naproxen (Naprosyn*), or ibuprofen (for example, Advil, Motrin, or Nuprin). In some cases the doctor or therapist will use ultrasound (gentle sound-wave vibrations) to warm deep tissues and improve blood flow. Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises are added gradually. These may be preceded or followed by use of an ice pack. If there is no improvement, the doctor may inject a corticosteroid medicine into the space under the acromion. While steroid injections are a common treatment, they must be used with caution because they may lead to tendon rupture. If there is still no improvement after 6 to 12 months, the doctor may perform either arthroscopic or open surgery to repair damage and relieve pressure on the tendons and bursae.
well i dont know if this will help but try putting ice on it. this makes the inflamation in your bones go down so it doesnt hurt as much. a doctor told me to do this to my wrist because my wrist would always hurt after gymnastics or cheerleading from tumbling
It may be a slipped disc...it sounds like your spinal cord is being pinched off and thats why you have tingling and pain in your arm
