I’m not sure if this is “normal” to experience when taking this medication?

Well, I’m 15 yrs old, and I think I’m depressed, but I’m not sure, though. I’m not sure if I’m stressed or what. I have chronic back pain for the past 2 years, and I had to have metal rods put into my spine a year ago, except it caused me more pain. I’m on lyrica(pain med), but the thing is, is that I’m not sure if I’m depressed from the pain I’m in, or if it’s the side effects from the medication. Like, I’m always tired, I don’t sleep at night, have increased appetite, starting to fail classes, even though I had straight a’s last year, and sometimes when little things go wrong, I think about *******. All of those problems could be explained by my medication, but these issues are kinda new because it’s only been a few months, and I’ve been on the med for a year and a half. Do you think these issues are from my medication?Or am I just making excuses?

Does your child suffer from abdominal migraines?

A pediatrician has issued her medication (she is 5) but it will make her tired and gain weight. She suffers A LOT in the car with headaches, but the rest of her headaches and stomach aches are low to moderate. Is there any way to get rid of the car headaches? Tylenol doesn’t help. I just don’t want to jump into medicating my child daily when she may not be in need of it. Thanks :)

Can swelling on your head damage your brain?

I got punched in the head and it’s starting to swell up. its on the left side, about an inch and a half up from the front of my ear. its not on the skull, but just the temple. i can feel a good sized lump. is this something to concern myself about and go to the doctor or should I wait for the swelling to go down?

why do I have shooting pains in my foot 3 weeks after ankle surgery?

I broke my fibula and ankle when I jumped one story. I have screws through both sides of my ankle and a plate with screws going up my leg. 3 weeks after surgery, I have a constant pain like my foot is waking up, or extreme tingling all over my foot (especially the bottom). pain medicine does not help. I don’t know why this is happening or if it is a sign of healing or that I need to seek a nerve specialist or something. any help would be appreciated.

My dog ate baby back rib bones, what to do?

My dog just ate a half-rack’s worth of baby back rib bones. I set them on the counter and went to change the baby’s diaper. I came back and they were gone - only some fragments on the floor. She is a 1 year old pit-bull, springer spaniel, lab mutt.

Advice?
And, do I feed her as I normally would tomorrow?
The ribs were cooked. It was just the bones that she ate, not the meat.
