7 types of pain you should never ignore

When they experience pain, some people try to ignore it and don’t seek medical assistance for so long that they even get used to living with it. However, it is of crucial importance that any pain should be addressed as soon as possible, especially if it proceeds for a longer period of time.

What we should be aware of is that our body warns us when something isn’t right, we just need to listen to it.

Below are some types of pain that may seem minor but can eventually cause more trouble if left unchecked.

1 Painful Urination

If you experience pain while urinating and you feel the urge to urinate more often than usual or suddenly and more urgently than usual, it can be a sign of a urinary tract infection. These infections are mostly caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract, but they can also be a result of kidney stones, issues with the prostate at men, urinary catheters, weakened immune system, and not drinking enough fluids, among the rest.

2 Leg Pain with Swelling

Throbbing pain in your thigh or lower leg accompanied with swelling, redness and warmth may be a sign of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). This can lead to a more serious condition known as pulmonary embolism, when a blood cloth breaks off and goes to the lungs. This if one of the types of pain that you should address promptly.

3 Throat Pain

When swallowing feels like you’re gargling sand, it’s time to take action.

While this type of pain may refer to tonsil stones or strep throat, two conditions treated easily, if you left it unchecked it can lead to complications. In case you experience swelling, fever, or your voice is more croaky than normal consult a healthcare provider.

4 Chest Pain

Chest pain refers to any pain felt in the chest area – from the shoulders to the bottom of the ribs. This pain can sometimes be a symptom of a heart attack or another heart condition, especially when it is accompanied with shortness of breath, dizziness, or cold sweats.

5 Severe Headache

Everybody has experienced headache at some point in their life. While some headaches can be caused by stress, other types of pain in the head may be related to more serious conditions such as hemorrhagic stroke, aneurysm, meningitis, and migraine, among the rest. If the headaches is accompanied by other symptoms, such as nauseousness, confusion, or seeing spots, maybe it’s time to pay the doctor a visit.

6 Sharp Lower Back Pain

According to Healthline, “A stabbing pain in the lower right back can have many causes, such as endometriosis in females, prostatitis in males, or things like muscle strain or sciatica.”

It can also be a result of kidney stones, herniated disk, or an injury from sports of lifting heavy objects.

If the pain doesn’t go in a few days, consult a doctor.

7 Pelvic Pain

The most common causes of pelvic pain in women are period pain, endometriosis, or an ovarian cyst. In some cases, this pain can be related to more serious conditions such as ectopic pregnancy, womb cancer, or ovarian cancer.

In men, pelvic pain is mostly a result of prostatitis, a condition affecting the prostate.

Our grandma lived in an old trailer for many years

My darling grandma spent her days living in an old trailer. I’m ashamed to admit it, but my husband seemed to be excited by the thought of her passing, thinking we would inherit millions. I knew my grandma didn’t have that amount of money, but rumors had it she had, and my husband couldn’t wait that money to become ours.

But, my sweet grandma knew better than that.

When she passed away, we went to the lawyers office for the reading of her will, and it turned out my grandma didn’t even own the old trailer. She had sold it to an old friend who lived across the street years prior, but still got to live there. She then used the money to travel. Not long journeys, but more like weekend getaways to nice hotels and places she had never been to before.

Needless to say, my husband Bernard was outraged.

“But where is her money? Any hidden fortune?” he kept asking the lawyer, who assured him over and over again that there was no money.

My grandma left me a letter. The lawyer said she wanted me to read it in private. I decided to take it home, and read it in peace. My husband reminded me a thousand times that if there something about money there that it belonged to the both of us since we were married.

Until that point, I wasn’t aware how greedy Bernard was. For him, it was all about money.

My grandma’s letter brought teras to my eyes. In it, she shared her wisdom with me again. She wrote that it wasn’t the material things that matter, but the peace a person finds in their life. She reminded me that I was a caring person, urging me to never forget that greed can only poison people.

Further, my grandma wrote I should go to the old oak tree behind the trailer and dig a bit because there was one final gift for me there. She said it wasn’t a hidden treasure, but something she knew I would cherish.

The following day, Bernard and I headed to the old oak tree. There, we found a bunch of old photographs of my grandma, her recipe book, and a key. My grandma’s friend, Erna, told us it was of an old cottage by the lake about thirty miles from there. It turned out my grandma spent a lot of her time there.

Bernard was rushing me to get to the cottage as soon as possible. When we finally arrived, we realized it was a tiny space, a two-bedroom log cabin-like structure with creaky floors and a patch of land out back leading to a small, sparkling lake.

The first thing Bernard said was, “How much do you think we can sell this for?”

Again, for him, it was all about money.

“Why do you think I would sell it?” I asked him, “This belonged to the most special person I knew, and I’m not selling it for any money in the world.”

It was obvious he was angry at me.

As days passed by, I started spending more time at the cottage. I repainted it and renovate it a bit. Eventually, I turned it into a small bed-and-breakfast with Erna’s help.

I wanted other people to enjoy the quiet and peace that place offered.

My grandma taught me that wealth is not measured in dollars but in the love we share.

As of Bernard, I was aware my marriage to him was coming to an end when he couldn’t contain his excitement over my grandma’s passing, thinking he would become an over-night millionaire.

I didn’t need a greedy person like him by mi side.

Moving forward wasn’t easy, but I have finally found my sanctuary and my peace.

Donald Trump makes shocking accusation about who left cocaine in the White House

President Donald Trump spoke of the infamous incident about the cocaine bag left in the White House in 2023, saying the person behind it could easily be identified based on fingerprint evidence, but the traces have been wiped clean.

On Thursday afternoon, during an interview at the White House, The Spectator‘s Ben Domenech asked the president, “So… who actually left the cocaine in the White House?” Trump was quick to answer, “Well, either Joe or Hunter. Could be Joe, too.” 

The cocaine bag in question was discovered by the secret services in a storage locker near the entrance to the White House’s West Wing back in July 2, 2023.

The investigation didn’t find any suspects.

“That was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up with… they’re not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints,” Trump said of the discovery. “And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry. You know that, right?”

According to the president, that particular locker where the drug was found was cleaned with “the strongest form of alcohol.”

“By the way, and I have to tell you, I think I’m going to look into that because it was … bad stuff happened there,” he added.

At the time of the incident, the Secret Service revealed the bag of cocaine was “subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis.” However, the lab results “did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons.”

Many are confused by Trump’s accusations of the Bidens because at the time the cocaine bag was discovered, they were not staying at the White House but at presidential retreat Camp David in Maryland.

“The Biden family was not here,” former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a July 2023 press conference. “They were not here Friday. They were not here Saturday or Sunday.” She added: They were not even here Monday. They came back on Tuesday. So, to ask that question is actually incredibly irresponsible, and I’ll just leave it there.” 

Initially, it was believed that the bag of white powder was anthrax, but it was soon determined it was drugs.

My 6-year-old son stayed with my MIL for a week

I had my son when I was eighteen. Although I was rather young, he became my world. His father left us the moment he learned I was expecting so I was left to raise him all by myself.

And then, I met Ethan. He became an important part of my and Liam’s life.

I was over the moon whenever I saw how Ethan treated my baby, as though he was his biological father. That’s when I knew Ethan was the one.

Soon after, we tied the knot.

Some time after our wedding, we decided to go to the so much-anticipated honeymoon. Ethan said that while we were away, his mother, Angela, would take care of Liam.

Honestly, I didn’t feel at ease leaving my son with her, but Ethan insisted. He assured me his mother loved my son, and I finally agreed.

However, four days into our trip, I received a call from Liam, who was 6 at the time.

“Mom, don’t do this to me,” he choked out. My heart stopped. “What do you mean, honey? Are you okay?”

That’s when he told me that my MIL told him I would give him away if he doesn’t behave.

He was scared, thinking I left him for good.

I tried to explain to him it wasn’t going to happen, but Liam was disturbed and couldn’t stop crying.

It didn’t take long before I asked Ethan to pack. We were returning home.

When I told him what had happened, he refused to believe that his mom would ever do such a thing.

But Liam was telling the truth. When we confronted Angela, she said that fear built character, so what if she threatened my son that I was going to give him up for adoption.

She didn’t understand how her words impacted my son in a negative way.

I was done with that woman. I took Liam and brought him home.

Ethan was also mad at his mom, who kept yelling at us both that we weren’t good parents.

It took some time for my son to understand that I wasn’t going anywhere.

He refused to sleep alone for months, but now he’s doing great. He knows I am here to stay, always and forever.

Before I said ‘I do’ my son yelled, ‘Dad, wait! Look at her shoulder!’

Losing my wife was one of the hardest things I have ever experienced. She was my rock, my world, my everything… and then, suddenly, she was gone, leaving me to take care for our son all by myself.

Four years after her sudden passing, I met someone.

Isabella was a very special woman. Not only she loved me unconditionally, but she also accepted my son, Jayden, as her own.

One day, I told Jayden that my relationship with Isabella was serious, and he said he was happy for me, giving me his blessing to marry her.

Life felt complete again, until the day of our wedding, when things changed.

Standing at the altar, ready to say “I do,” my son suddenly yelled, “Dad, wait! Look at her shoulder!”

His words echoed through the church. Suddenly, all eyes were on Jayden.

“What is going on?” I asked quietly.

Jayden, who was still very young, approached me and said, “Dad, Isabella’s mark on her shoulder is exactly like same with Ava’s, a girl that used to study at my school. It is also exactly on the same spot.”

“Oh, Jayden” I said, “anyone can have a birthmark like that.”

“But dad, I read that these things run in the family.”

Before I could dismiss Jayden’s words as nonsense, I noticed Isabella crying.

The minister realized something was wrong so he suggested we take a brief recess.

While everyone’s eyes were on us, Isabella leaned towards me and said, “Mark, I have a confession to make.”

Her words sent chills down my spine. I couldn’t possibly guess what was going on.

“You see, when I was still very young, I gave birth to a baby daughter. But I couldn’t keep her, so I gave her up for adoption,” Isabella said while trying to hold her tears from running down her face.

As I tried to realize what she was saying, she added, “Do you think this girl could be mine?”

Isabella was looking at me with eyes full of hope.

I was so confused that I didn’t say a word.

At that moment, the priest asked if we could proceed, and I said yes. But once the ceremony was over, I demanded answers.

How could Isabella keep something so huge a secret. I was angry, but at the same time, I understood her reasons. She never really thought that she could see her girl again, and there she was, learning of someone who shared the same birthmark.

The days that followed were filled with long conversations and attempts to rebuild our trust. And then, the three of us, made it a mission to find Isabella’s daughter.

The documents of her adoption were confidential, and the only trace we had was that the daughter could be the girl, Ava, that Jayson once knew.

It took a lot of time, but we were eventually able to locate Ava and her family.

We contacted her adoptive parents, who were extremely kind people and agreed to meet with us.

Ava was aware she was adopted, and she knew that her mom was forced to leave her due to her young age. She was willing to forgive Isabella.

While Ava stayed with her family, she also remained close to us. She even visits sometimes.

If it wasn’t for Jayden, who yelled at “Look at her shoulder” during one of the happiest days of my life, Isabella and Ava wouldn’t meet.

Life is truly unpredictable.

911 call connected to the death of Gene Hackman released

The circumstances surrounding the deaths of Hollywood legend Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, whose bodies were found in separate rooms in their Santa Fe, New Mexico mansion, are still being investigated.

Hackman’s daughter, Elizabeth, was the first to suspect the cause of death could be gas leak, although, according to her, the mansion where her dad and his wife resided was relatively new.

The Santa Fe Fire Department and New Mexico Gas Company found no apparent signs of a carbon monoxide leak, but the medical examiner is performing tests, including checking for the presence of the toxic gas.

Following the autopsy, it was reported that “Initial findings noted no external trauma to either individual.”

The call to 911 was made from the actor’s estate by an individual who identified himself as a caretaker. According to law enforcement, the call was made just before 2 p.m.

CNN obtained the 911 audio in the actor’s death.

According to it, the caretaker, who sounded emotional, said they couldn’t enter the home. However, they were able to see two unconscious bodies through the window.

“No, dude, they’re not moving. Just send somebody out here really quick,” the caretaker told the dispatcher.

The newest release from the sheriff’s office stated that it “remains an open investigation.”

As per TMZ, a Santa Fe detective who sought a search warrant believed “the death of the two deceased individuals to be suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation because the reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened.”

At the time being, the official autopsy and toxicology reports are still pending.

“The autopsy is going to be key, and the toxicology,” Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said.

Hackman’s daughter, Leslie, said that despite his age, 95, her father was in a good physical condition. “He liked to do Pilates and yoga, and he was continuing to do that several times a week. So he was in good health.”

She added that despite she hadn’t seen her father and his wife and hadn’t contacted them for a couple of months, they were very close.

Hackman was nominated for an Academy award for his role in Bonnie & Clyde in 1968, and for I Never Sang for My Father in 1971.

He went on two receive two Oscars for the 1972 film The French Connection, and the 1993 film Unforgiven.

Hackman’s colleagues shared their tributes. “There was no finer actor than Gene. Intense and instinctive. Never a false note. He was also a dear friend whom I will miss very much,” actor Clint Eastwood said in a statement.

“One of the personal highlights of my career was bringing the French Film Gardé a Vue (Under Suspicion) to life with the incredibly gifted Gene Hackman. And of course… Unforgiven. Rest in peace, my friend,” Morgan Freeman posted on Instagram.

Gene Hackman and wife had been ‘dead for some time,’ says warrant

Two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman, 95, and wife Betsy Arakawa, 63, could have been dead for quite some time when authorities discovered their deceased bodies in separate rooms in their Santa Fe mansion.

One of the couple’s dogs was also found dead.

Hackman’s daughter, Elizabeth, shared her grief over her dad’s tragic passing. Speaking to TMZ, she said, “The house is fairly modern, built in 2000, but we don’t know if there were any issues with gas leaks or if there were any recent service calls to the property.”

Since gas leak was ruled out, investigators are still scratching their heads over the possible cause of death of the Hollywood icon, his wife, and their dog.

According to the Associated Press, Hackman’s body was found in a mudroom, while Arakawa’s was in a bathroom next to a space heater.

While the Santa Fe sheriff’s office spokesperson, Denise Avila, said there was no indication of foul play, detectives noted in a search warrant affidavit that the deaths were “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation.”

As stated in the publication, pills were scattered in the bathroom.

Daily Mail reported that the bodies of Hackman and his wife were partially mummified.

According to officials, it would take around three months for the toxicology report to come out.

“We’re trying to put together a timeline of when the decedents were last seen or spoken to,” Santa Fe County Sheriff Adam Mendoza told Today. He said it was “a challenge” because they were “very private individuals and a private family.”

He added: “Just based on their body and other evidence on the body, it appears [they had been deceased for] several days and possibly even up to a couple weeks.”
