Any time you induce trama on your body, you're going to hurt.  It's your body's way of saying, "don't do that."

hello I had to have my gallbladder taken out. it wasn't bad at all. I only hurt for about 2-3 days and was back to a regular routine and the scars are not very big at all. They are relativly small. You will do fine. Its really not as bad as it sounds! Good luck

I don't know how much it hurts compared to a belly button, but it was nothing compared to the nose. I didn't think it was really that bad, but it takes a lot of after care. Using mouthwash every single time you eat or drink something for 2 weeks is a pain, and it's swollen and hard to eat for a while, but totally worth it after it heals.

I got my cartilage peirced, and it didn't hurt. However, it's different for different people. Also, it might hurt on one ear and not the other: My mom's left ear didn't hurt but her right one stung like h***!\nU just can't know until u try.

I think that what you are experiencing is normal since you just had the procedure done a couple days ago.  Keep your hands clean when touching your ear-lopes and use an alcohol swap to clean the area each day, and your ears should feel fine in a few more days.  Don't wear the same earrings all the time without removing them ever so often just to let the hole heal around it, not over it.  Too, wear good quality sterling silver or 12 k gold or better posts to prevent infection.  And, lastly don't share pierced earrings with friends

It is the least painful piercing you can get, for what that is worth. It will swell moderately for a few days and be sore. Eating may be painful until the swelling and sensitivity go down. You may need to re-learn how to eat certain foods. You also have to be very careful of infection for the first few weeks, when you eat, food can become lodged in the hole and if it stays can get pretty nasty. Also, don't buy metal barbells until you are very accustomed to your piercing. For some time you will have a tendency to accidentally bite on the bar and if you have metal ends and not plastic you can chip your teeth. Also, body jewelry is expensive so expect to spend some money if you swallow your jewelry (which can happen often if you do not occasionally check that the ball is snugly screwed on). Your sensitivity to hot and cold may increase temporarily. As for sex, be careful...that's all I'll say about that.\n\nMost importantly: ONLY BE PIERCED BY A PROFESSIONAL. There is a large vein which runs through the center of the tounge and if this is hit you will bleed for a freakishly long time.

First off how old are you?  If you're under 15 I'd say wait on navel piercings--- not a responsibility thing, more a your body won't do well with it and you're still growing up and maybe out who knows.. but if you want to do it anyway... get it done by someone who knows what they are doing....BUT if you can't do that then somehow find a hollow pt. 14 gauge needle to pierce it with and make sure everything is sterile *trust me get someone who knows how to do it do it*  I did my own when I was 14 with a leather needle and hoop earing *ok we're talking like 1989 here* but it got infected *ewe* then did it with hollow pt. needle *did ok but hurt like a SOB and got kinda infected* then waited a bit and got a ligit piercer to do it.. no problems since...

they might be fractured, I did that once, there is not much they can do for it, just give you some thing for pain, they will give you a wrap to put around your ribs, when that happened to me, it made it feel better to have the wrap on, maybe wrap it your self, or go to the doc, maybe have it looked at, they can give you a better wrap, and some thing for pain, and have it x-rayed, it might be fractured and poking a lung or some thing

I had something similar only mine was on my left side and it didnt hurt when i peed but it did hurt a constant dull pain and it hurt worse when i breathed in. they told me it was  e-coli. but the place where you described it... between your belly button and hip was where mine hurt

I'm freaked out by needles too but it never hurts even though I always think it will.  I just had to give blood last weekend and it just felt like a very little pinch, no pain at all.  Don't worry about it, just breath deep and look away.  You'll be fine!

Could be a couple of things.  I would see a doctor.  First have you done any heavy lifting or weird stretching, if so it could be your intercostal muscles.  These are muscles that help you breather.  Very, very painful if torn.  You could also have an ulcer that is bleeding.  This will give off the same pain.  Again it could be a lot of different things.  I would see a doctor, even if the pain goes away.

Call your doctor ASAP. He/she should be aware of your temperature and the persistence of this pain. You need at the very least a complete work-up, including bloodwork and chest and maybe abdominal X-rays. Don't mess around It could be a million things, some minor or some very major.

I have the same "problem". It is just the way your body fat is distributed around your abdomen area. Not a big deal, unless it is painful. :o)

Yes, there CAN be side effects to getting your tubes tied. It depends on the doctor. They've really got to know what they're doing! I have a friend who had her tubes tied 2 yrs ago, and now experiences a lot of back pain and sometimes pain on the sides. Sometimes she can feel the pinching! Then a friend of hers, went to the same doctor no less than a yr ago, and is experiencing the same pains, and has had two strings coming out from her belly button! This is no joke! She had to go back to the doc. to get it fixed! Some docs. don't know what they're doing and you could end up with these problems, or even pregnancy! So...if u decide u want to get your tubes tied, I'd suggest u make sure the doc. that's going to "fix" u, has a good rep.!!!

I depends. When I had my top ones out it really wasn't that bad. Not much swelling as all a little soreness. But when I had my bottom ones out it was bad i was in pain for a while.

probably its not natural.....maybe you just accidentaly got some peanut butter on your stomach.....try washing your belly button with warm water

it sorta sounds like it's just swollen from the piercing, cartiladge is painful to pierce and takes a long time to heal.  if it's just swollen and red I wouldn't worry too much but if it's leaking pus then you may have an infection.  whatever you do, don't take out the jewelry!  the hole will close up and seal the infection inside potentially causing you more pain and problems.  talk to the piercer about proper aftercare (I hope you went to a licensed professional) and call your doctor.  DO NOT USE ALCOHOL to try and disinfect, it will only irritate it more.  DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN THOUROUGHLY WASHED, that should be a no-brainer.  when you're in the shower and the crusties around the jewelry is soft enough make sure you rotate the ring but never attempt to do this dry, it'll hurt and you'll make it worse if it is infected
