I’m having severe sharp lower back pain and I am barely able to walk or move. I am 7 months pregnant. The pain is so intense that it is making me throw up. It started weeks ago but has become unbearable in the past two days and is constant. I’ve tried exercise, stretching, OTC pain meds, heat, ice, etc with no relief. I am managing the back pain with Tylenol every 6 hours but it does not help at all. Is there anything else I can do for relief?

Why do I get bumps on my vagina? I did a HSV test and it was negative. The first bump appeared in March, and I got another one yesterday. The bumps are small, red, and not itchy. I am taking Lysine, selenium, D3, and zinc supplements. I am 25 years old and notice a bump after consuming a lot of sugar.

I am having irregular periods, with my last period occurring 6 weeks ago. I have been using emergency contraception (iPill) for a year or two, which has been successful in preventing pregnancy. I am looking for pills that can help regulate my periods. What options are available, and can they be prescribed over the counter?

I think I might be having a miscarriage. I have been bleeding for about three weeks now, with very dark blood and blood clots. I also have cramps more painful than my usual period, headaches, and the blood is a very dark red. Could it be a miscarriage, and what should I do?

I just found out I’m pregnant a week ago and I’m suffering from severe nausea. I haven’t been seen by a doctor yet and I’m currently out of town, needing to take a road trip back home. I’m not sure how many weeks pregnant I am, but my last period started on May 22. I have no appetite, extreme fatigue, and some diarrhea in response to certain foods. I’m not on any medications and I’m 32 years old. I know I have low iron. What should I do to manage my symptoms during the road trip?
