My wife underwent a laparotomy for the removal of an ovarian cyst and endometriosis tissue. She is experiencing on and off cramping in her stomach, which seems similar to the pain she gets at the end of her periods, and has a distended abdomen. She has had bowel movements and her urine is fine. Is stomach cramping and gas a common side effect of this type of procedure?

This is an x-ray of my mother's hip. The bottom part of the hip has broken away, likely due to an accident she had about 4 years ago. The two fractures at the top seem related to that incident. My question is, as there is no support at the bottom of the hip, is it possible that the hip could break away completely, and is there anything that can be done about it? My mother is in her 80s, and I am her 57-year-old son.

I have had diarrhea all day since I woke up this morning. It is now past midnight, and only water seems to be passing. I have had rice, soup, Gatorade, water, and chamomile tea. There is cramping on the upper part of my tummy, and when I stand, I feel it more on the bottom right of my stomach and the left side of my back. I took Tums and Imodium today, but Imodium didn't really help. The Tums has helped with burping. What can I do to help the diarrhea stop?

I was rear-ended in October 2010 and have been experiencing neck pain, headaches concentrated on the right side of my head and temple, and pressure around my forehead and eyes, especially on the right side. The pain radiates from my neck down my arm and up to my head, sometimes feeling like nerve irritation at the back of my head. I also experience flare-ups that seem to aggravate my sinusitis. Could these symptoms be related to a concussion or whiplash?

I'm a 33-year-old woman experiencing major digestive problems that affect my work and daily life. I'm trying to avoid medication and have already started changing my eating habits, but even fiber supplements and more vegetables aren't helping. What can I do to get relief from my digestive issues?
