Hey... Yesterday I woke up with a MAJOR hurt at three in the morning. It hurt so bad that I couldnt' sleep until nine, and I didn't go to soccer or cheerleading. I slept on and off all day and I barely moved because my right side hurt SO BAD. I figured it would go awake, but this morning it woke me again at six! I slept from about eight to eleven and I don't know why my side is hurting. It's like right below my rib cage to my hip and a lil' on my right side of my lower back. Anybody know what it may be or what I can do to help it. RATE HIGH

for real help if it continues go see your doctor. but that was probably aparent.
MHScutie87 answered Wednesday June 22 2005, 8:39 pm: for quick, short-term fixes, try heating pads in that area, laying on your left side, and/or pepto bismal. but if these symptoms last longer than a week or so, i would definitely reccomend going to a doctor. it could just be nothing! or it might be something more serious but im sure you'll be fine!
mushoku answered Wednesday June 22 2005, 1:42 pm: Possible reasons - over-use of muscles, bad sleeping position, illness. Now, the first two are temporary and easily remedied. The third may be such that if you wait it out, you'll be fine. But it may also not be.
Here's what you do - talk to your parents about it (assuming you live with them). If you don't, go see a doctor, just in case, or talk with a friend who is certified and currently works in an appropriate medical field. If you have health insurance, it should cover a visit like that (that's what it's for). [ mushoku's advice column | Ask mushoku A Question ]
