I'm a 23-year-old girl and I've been having back pains that get worse when I sit for a long time, like during my tuitions. It usually only gets better if I lie down. I'm thinking about taking Shelcal 500 mg since it has calcium and vitamin D3. Do you think it's okay for me to take one tablet every day to help with the pain? What do you suggest?

Residual symptoms after typhoid fever.

Bitter taste and weakness could be due to:

  1. Residual infection
  2. Medication side effects
  3. Hormonal changes
  4. Nutritional deficiencies
  5. Liver or kidney function changes

To alleviate bitter taste:

  1. Stay hydrated
  2. Eat small, frequent meals
  3. Avoid strong-smelling foods
  4. Try sugar-free gum or lozenges
  5. Consider zinc supplements (consult doctor)

Consult your doctor for:

  1. Follow-up evaluation
  2. Addressing weakness and bitter taste
  3. Adjusting medications or diet

Recovery from typhoid fever can take time. Be patient and follow your doctor's guidance.

I've been having some issues since I had surgery to repair my Achilles tendon. My body seems to be retaining fluid, I'm gaining weight, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath, which got me wondering if it might be CHF. But my cardiologist says my heart's doing fine, and my pulmonologist says there's no sign of COPD or any respiratory issues. All my liver tests have come back normal too. They're pinning my breathing problems on my weight, but honestly, I feel like the weight gain started after the breathing issues. Could it be possible that something went wrong during my surgery that's causing these symptoms? My foot's still painful too.

no it cannot be because of surgery

I've been having some moderate pain in my tennis elbow area, and I'm starting to wonder if there's any way this could be related to excessive masturbation. Could that be causing it or making it worse? I'm really curious about how these things could be connected.

Excessive masturbation is not directly related to tennis elbow pain. The pain in your elbow is likely due to overuse of the muscles and tendons in that area. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) as per the recommended dosage on the package. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (Voltaren) to the affected area. Resting the arm, using a brace for support, and doing gentle stretching exercises may also help in relieving the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
