Aches and Pains

Some run-of-the-mill aches and pains shouldn’t be ignored...

If you get a sharp pain in your side – it might be nothing – but if you feel nauseous or have a fever – it could be appendicitis. Here are a few more pains to take seriously:

• Toothache: If it’s throbbing – there may be nerve damage - and the sooner you get to a dentist the better.

• Bloating: If you’ve got abdominal discomfort and feel full after eating less than usual – see your doctor if it lasts more than a few days.

• Back pain: Most of us get it from time to time – but if your toes are tingling too – have it checked out. That could be a problem with one of your discs.
