I accidentally took some medicine meant for acidity issues, but I realized afterward that it expired about three years ago. Should I be worried about any side effects or problems because of this?

Microfacture Surgery and Height Increase* 1. Microfacture surgery: This procedure is typically used to repair cartilage defects, not to increase height. 2. Shin bone (tibia) lengthening: This is a separate surgical procedure, often performed using external fixation devices or internal lengthening nails. 3. Height increase: The amount of height increase achievable through surgery varies depending on individual factors, such as bone health, age, and overall health. Timeline for 1 cm Height Increase The timeline for a 1 cm height increase through surgery can vary significantly. Here are some general guidelines: 1. Pre-surgical preparation: 1-3 months 2. Surgery and initial recovery: 2-6 months 3. Lengthening process: 2-6 months (depending on the method used) 4. Consolidation and rehabilitation: 6-12 months Please note that these timeframes are approximate and can vary depending on individual circumstances.

I'm having a real rough time with loose motion that just doesnt seem to go away. It's like my body's not digesting food properly. I tried taking O2 Tablets and Pan 40, and they seemed to help for a little bit, but now the problem is back. Every time I feel the urge, I end up with loose stools again. What should I do?

Question

I'm really worried about this swelling and pain I've been having in my lower rib cage for about a month now. It's pretty uncomfortable and sometimes I even feel a burning sensation. Occasionally, the pain seems to spread to my stomach. I've had some blood tests and an ultrasound, but they didn't show anything abnormal. Could you please help me understand what's going on?
