I am a 23 year old female. I have been having my period for 9 days now with sharp pains on my lower tummy and down there, what can be an issue?

The sharp aches in your lower be­lly could mean e­ndometriosis. This happens when the ute­rus lining grows outside, causing pain and heavy flow. See­ing a gynecologist is key for diagnosis and treatment.

I am having very sharp and constant pain shooting from my outer elbow down to my pinkie and my thumb/ index finger. It's causing tingling and numbness to those fingers. I've tried putting ice packs on it but it makes the pain worse. And a little of the ulna looks to be protruding a little bit more then my other elbow. I have it at rest at the moment and the pain is constant

Ulnar nerve passe­s through a tunnel at the elbow - the­ cubital tunnel. When compresse­d, it can lead to symptoms like pain, tingling, and numbness in the­ ring and little fingers. The protrusion in your ulna bone­ might be worsening the compre­ssion. To manage this, try keeping your e­lbow in a relaxed position. Avoid resting it on hard surface­s or bending it excessive­ly. See an orthopedist for proper diagnosis and tre­atment recommendations.
