i received the flu shot monday afternoon. i didnt feel any pain or soreness. 4 days after  redness, itchiness, and bumps appear for the first time at injection site. is this normal? also the placement of shot seemed a little further back then usual.

Accepted Answer

Not uncommon: This is not totally unexpected and perhaps reflects that you may have some antibody left over from previous immunizations or infection.  If this bothers you a lot, try taking an NSAID +/- topical cortisone cream.

Question 6

some tenderness rt rib area after gallbladder removal 2 months ago. cause? normal.hida7% function. should i be concerned?! normal? sore

Accepted Answer

Probably post : Surgical since you are only 2 months out.  I am assuming the cholecystectomy was because of the gb dysfunction (7% gb ejection fraction is abnormally low).

Please check in with your surgeon about your symptoms.

Question 7

6 days post op lap gallbladder removal only sore where liver is under right ribcage not around lap incisions hurts to press normal? or liver prob?

Accepted Answer

Mgt: I would advise having a surgical follow up visit. So early in the course after a procedure there can be pain in that area. If you have jaundice, change in stool or urine color, fever or swelling, please seek immediate care.

Not to worry: These symptoms are most likely "usual" after surgical removal of the gallbladder...BUT CHECK IT OUT with your surgeon. if you are not IMPROVING EVERY DAY!

If you develop FEVER, CHILLS, or INCREASIJNG abdominal/rib/back pain seek immediate medical input!
Hope this helps

Question 9

had minor mole removal on arm 3 days ago required 3 stitches. my arm feels sore..is this normal? how many times should i change bandage n put vaseline

Accepted Answer

Mole removal &amp; pain: Hello,
It is normal for you to have some discomfort three days our from a mole removal.  Notify your physician if you have increasing redness, swellling, or discharge.  Otherwise, you should start to feel a lot better soon.  I would clean it at least twice a day.  Good luck.  Dr. Kosari

Question 10

i had a uretoeroscopy no stone found and today is 6 days after stent removal i had sharp groin pain and feel sore there+foam in urine is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Ureteroscopy: Instrumentation can cause air to get trapped in the bladder. If the bladder doesn't empty fully it can take a week for it to fully empty.This could be the air you're voiding. It can be weeks before the symptoms full resolve from instrumemtation.
