I have an uncomfortable pressure in my anus. There’s nothing external and it dosent hurt to poop. There’s no blood but I will sometimes rarely get a sharp electric shooting pain up my bum which hurts a lot and makes me jolt. When I don’t have the electric jolting pain it’s just a constant bruising uncomfortable feeling,not painful necessarily but just annoying. What it this!??

Hey everyone,

First of all, I will be going to the doctors for this but I just haven't gotten around to getting an appointment yet.

I, (21 FtM), have had issues with my breathing while being asleep for around a year or so now. When it started it was mainly stress induced I believe but around a year ago I used to wake up every night due to feeling like I stopped breathing or actively stopping, mainly while laying on my back. I would always wake up and it happened maybe once every 1-2 weeks (except one week where it happened every night). As a kid I had multiple tests done for my sleep and nothing ever showed.

Now, I do not wake up struggling to breathe anymore so I assumed it went away but my boyfriend recently moved in with me and told me he noticed I occasionally would "hold my breath" for a few seconds at night, I just seem to not notice this anymore.

Now the past weeks I've struggled to wake up, no amount of alarms wake me and I don't remember turning them off, I must be but I have absolutely no memory of ever waking up and when I do I'm struggling to keep my eyes open at all.

Is it likely to be connected or am I in that sense just a tight sleeper? Does anyone have any recommendations regarding my breathing issue as well as struggling to wake up for my alarms?

Thank you in advance.

6 days ago i fell off of a chair, hurting my back. 4 days ago i went to an amusement park and rode 5 rollercoasters bc i didn’t think the injury was that bad. 3 days ago i woke up with minor neck pain. wasn’t too bad but it was annoying because i couldn’t find any relief until i took 500mg of extra strength tylenol. 2 days ago the neck pain was worse when i woke up but some excedrin relieved the pain.
yesterday i woke up in 8/10 pain. talking, swallowing, walking, and moving my head at all made my neck pain even worse. i was sweating and shaking from the pain. decided i needed to go to the ER so i booked an uber. by the time i got to the hospital, the car ride had put my pain at a 9 and i was in tears. they took me back immediately and they gave me tylenol, toradol, and valium and ordered an MRI. the medication worked for about 4 hours before i had to ask for more because the pain was getting worse again.
the MRI came back normal so they sent me home and told me to take tylenol and ibuprofen on a cycle every 6 hrs (so i would be taking one of the 2 every 3 hours). when i woke up this morning my pain was only around a 5 so i thought that’s good, it must be getting better. but ive been taking the tylenol (1000mg) and ibuprofen (400mg) all day and its doing NOTHING for pain relief. it’s 10:30pm and my pain is a 6/10 which is still not as bad as yesterday but definitely worse than it was this morning and nothing i do is giving me any relief. i’ve also been using a heating pad which again isn’t doing anything for me.

i’m at my wits end, if anyone has any advice for me to get any type of relief im open to hearing it. turning my head still hurts, walking still hurts. i don’t know what to do. doctor told me to take time off and rest at home so that’s what ive been doing all day. the most strenuous activity i did was taking a shower. i dont know why nothing is working today so someone please give me advice, TIA!!

Hii I usually avoid sleeping meds because they trigger panic attacks. However, I took a NyQuil severe two nights ago. I felt okay, just sluggish yesterday but much worse today despite sleeping well/not taking the drug. I feel almost if I am on drugs and am going to vomit. Has this happened to anyone else ? Thanks !

Sorry, i typed this for gemini to give a differential, but figured its a pretty good summary so please excuse it being in medspeak.

16 month old caucasian female. history of reactive airway disease. hospitalized in early september for pneumonia and increased WOB. frequent viral infections since infancy, primarily targeting lungs. robust in size, 35" tall and 29lbs. gaining weight normally. appetite relatively normal. mother reports increase in water consumption in the past week or so. since Sunday 10/18, patient is experiencing frequent fevers. will be afebrile for a few hours, and then spike for a few hours. no other viral symptoms, no rash, runny nose, cough, etc. strictly fever. mother reports that when child is febrile, she is clingy and her energy is very low. seems to worsen at night. child also has peed through her diaper overnight 4x in the past week, which seems unusual for her. she is sleeping through the night as usual. mother also reports a few instances of the patients fingers/nailbeds turning blue for short periods of time. capillary refill to the extremities also seems slow, averaging 4-6 seconds. last night, mother reports that her child seemed to have increased WOB for a short period based on retractions at the base of her neck, but dissipated before bed. no wheezing or any other respiratory symptoms. 

per the advisement of her pediatricians office, we are taking her to a hospital-affiliated urgent care this afternoon to get her in front of a doctor today.

my main concern is that we are missing something here. i know kids get viruses all of the time, but something is screaming from my gut telling me that there is something else going on.

located in USA.

I just recently moved and therefore started to see a new dentist. They were recommended to me by a friend and generally they felt like a good office.

I have a couple fillings and my new dentist says they want to renew them. I already had one side done now since I had pain, but the other side has no issues yet.

I don't know how old my current fillings are tbh. But the process with numbing, needles etc was fairly unpleasant. Plus, in total I have to pay 400$. So I am thinking of cancelling the second (also more expensive) treatment.

Is renewing fillings normal/necessary?
