My husband was seen by his doctor for a pain in his right side. The doctor didn't think it was appendicitis and said if it was, symptoms would appear within 3 days. He has no other symptoms besides the pain. Could it be a pulled muscle, and if so, how long would that pain take to go away?

I'm having lower abdominal pain that started several hours ago and is constant, with pain in the lower right quadrant (LRQ) and lower left quadrant (LLQ). Eating makes the pain worse, and I'm experiencing a feeling of indigestion and need to burp. How old are you? Male or female? Any constipation or diarrhea? Are you on any medications? Any stress? Do you have any burning or itching while passing urine? On a scale of 1-10, how much pain is there?

My week-old newborn is breathing weird, especially when laying down, with his chest moving noticeably. I saw the doctor yesterday and have tried different positions, but the issue persists. Is this normal, and when should I be concerned?

I finished my Percocet prescription of 6 tablets 6 days ago. Yesterday, I tested myself with a 12-panel urine test I bought at CVS and tested negative. Today, I took a urine test at a lab. Will I pass?

My TSH w/reflex to free T4 result is 0.91. Could this be considered abnormal, and what other tests could help identify the cause of my symptoms such as dysthymia, recurrent major depressive disorder, hypertension, incontinence, lumbar radiculopathy, tinnitus, hearing loss, recurrent cold sores, cervical disc degeneration C5-C6 and C6-C7, bilateral sciatica, numbness/tingling left arm, cervical radiculopathy, and rheumatoid arthritis test negative but struggling to get around most days?

I have been diagnosed with ADD and am currently taking 54 mg of Concerta, but it's not effective and doesn't last all day. My doctor is on vacation, and I am struggling with managing my condition and taking care of my kids at home. What can I do to manage my ADD more effectively during this time?
