I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

The persistent pain on your right side, exacerbated by lying on your left side, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, gallbladder issues, kidney stones, or even a herniated disk; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and potentially imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm having some trouble and could use your advice. Every time I go to the toilet, there's blood, and I'm really worried it might be piles. I've tried using this cream called beclomethasone, but it hasn't helped at all. Do you have any advice on other ways I can find relief or should I be doing something different?

I'm having this really uncomfortable pain in my lower left abdomen, and it seems to be spreading to my back. It hurts even more when I'm sitting down, especially on the back side. I'm not sure why this is happening. Should I be worried about it? What could be causing this kind of pain?

Could be indicative of a kidney stone. I would recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. It is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the kidney stone. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
