I got my bridge pierced in January, and the piercer put in a bar too short, causing me to use an oversized bar. Since then, it has been on and off swelling, pussing, and painful for about 2 weeks at a time. Is it infected? Should I take it out?

I have a temperature of 98.3°F, feel very weak and have no energy, and experience nausea when drinking water. I also have persistent headaches that do not improve with ibuprofen and sleep, and I feel hungry all the time despite eating a lot. What could be wrong with me?

I heard a grinding sound and felt two pops while reaching for a sock, resulting in sharp pain in my rib area under my left breast. The pain is constant but more intense when I take a deep breath. I had an x-ray which showed no fractures. I am managing the pain with Toradol and steroid shots, over-the-counter Aleve, and am currently on Trazadone, Sertraline, Symbicort, and Albuterol inhalers. I am 59 years old with a history of COPD and osteopenia. What should I do for this rib pain?

I have pressure above my eyebrow, twitching in that area, and a brief episode of ringing in my ear on the same side. My doctor believes it's related to my right neck muscles/TMJ. Is this concerning?

My stomach has been hurting for weeks now, with on and off pain that has gotten worse over time. The pain is sharp, stabbing, and feels almost sore, moving around my stomach. I'm a 21-year-old female, not on any prescriptions, and take Pepto-Bismol which only masks the pain temporarily. What could be causing this pain and what can I do about it?
