What does mild pyelocaliectasis mean, and is it related to kidney stones? My husband has been experiencing nausea, stabbing pain on the right upper side and through to his back, some itchiness inside not on the skin, and diarrhea for the past five months. He has a history of fatty liver and possibly IBS. He was recently diagnosed with mild pyelocaliectasis on the left side, but his pain is on the right side. What could be causing his symptoms?

How do I wean myself off of 300mg/day of Gabapentin? I am miserable and experiencing distension, difficulty wearing pants, and pain from a back injury. I am 70 years old and have been on Gabapentin for 3 days, using Percocet as needed for pain relief, and also using ice, massage, and chiropractic treatments.

My son is 2 years old. His father and grandma suffer from pyloric stenosis. He can't eat certain foods like mac and cheese, keibalsi, blue dye, and chips without throwing up for days. Anything he eats comes back out within minutes. He doesn't act sick or cry, he just throws up and keeps going. He's not on any medication, has no known allergies, and is not lactose intolerant. What could be causing this and what should we do?

I have been experiencing headaches, ringing ears, sore throat, and muscle weakness for three weeks. I am taking several medications including amitriptyline, actonel, estradiol, nexium, relacore, a multivitamin, Vitamin B-50 and B-6, amox-clav, and hydrocodone/apap. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and pain medication, but they have not significantly helped my pain. The doctor also mentioned irritated ears with fluid retention. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
