I've been hearing mixed things about using a copper water bottle for drinking. Some friends swear by it, but others are warning me that it could lead to health issues, like infertility. Is there any truth to that? I'm really curious to know if using a copper bottle is actually beneficial or if I should be cautious. Would love some guidance!

I've been experiencing this sharp pain on my right side just below my rib cage. It feels like a pinching sensation, especially when I take a deep breath. A couple of days ago, the same area was really itchy, but it felt like it was deep in my lungs. I can't figure out what's going on because I don't have any other symptoms like fever or body pain. I did have a cough and cold a few days ago though. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this?

I'm having this persistent pain in my chest and ribs, and honestly, my whole body just feels sore ever since I got over COVID. I did see my local doctor about it, and they mentioned it might just be weakness and gave me some meds. But I'm still worried because I've had kidney stones before and I'm taking thyroid pills. Do you think this could be related? Should I get a second opinion or just wait it out?
