Answer 1

TMJ vs ext. otitis: You could be suffering from temporomandibular joint pain or external otitis. Grab the ear and wiggle it. If it hurts, you are developing external otitis and need to see an ent doctor to clean out the ear and get drops and /or a wick to clear up the infection. If it is the joint, try putting your fingers into your ears and open and close the jaw to see if there is pain or a click. Wife may help

Answer 2

Rest, stretch, NSAID: Teens can have a variety of reasons for knee pain. Get checked by an orthopaedic surgeon for a definitive diagnosis. It can be growth related and self limiting requiring activity reduction at times and rest or anti-inflammatories. But, you much get checked to make sure its not a rare serious problem.

Answer 3

Multiple: Many things can cause a stomach ache. Infections, nerves, pregnancy, uti, excess sibstances- alcohol, coffee, tea. Undelying gastritis or ulcer.

Answer 4

More info: There are many causes of abdo pain. When do you get pain? What type? How long does it last? Anything make it better? Anything make it worse? Does food affect the pain? Have you had any surgery ? How long has it been there? Have you tried any medications? Did they work? Did you injure yourself? Pulled muscle etc? Has anyone done any studies? See a doctor for exam and studies.

Answer 5

Neuritis: Nerve pain or numbness or burning is a common symptom associated with entrapment of a peripheral nerve in the foot. It is not debilitating, but very annoying. See your local podiatrist, an injection may be necessary to block the nerve and re-assess the symptoms post-injection.

Answer 6

Many reasons: What stops it depends on what caused it. And lastly, that would depend on the above prior answers.

Answer 7

Insect bites: It could be any insect bite. See the doctor if it does not clear up in few days. If it is itchy you can try Hydrocortisone cream and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) by mouth.

Answer 8

Trauma or Allergies: It could be an allergic reaction or signs of trauma (small bruises.) see your md to be safe.

Answer 9

Probably not: Cirrhosis is not usually associated with hair loss.Any time there is a rapid reduction in weight or any kind of illness then we can see hair loss increase for several months. This type of hair loss comes back so not to worry. Good luck on your weight loss.

Answer 10

Hair Loss: Hair loss associated with weight loss is most likely due to a nutritional deficiency. It is highly unlikely that it is related to your liver.
