Peptic ulcer disease “occurs when open sores or sores form in the stomach or first part of the small intestine,” according to Cleveland Clinic.
“Many cases of stomach ulcers develop because a bacterial infection eats away at the protective lining of the digestive system. People who regularly use painkillers are more likely to develop stomach ulcers.’

The I’m On Fire singer got the jitters from fans when he tripped and fell after climbing several steps on stage.
Fans watched as The Boss rolled onto his back and lay on the floor with his guitar still in hand before his concerned colleagues promptly rushed over to help him.
His guitarist stepped in to remove his instrument, while two concert workers manually hoisted Bruce back onto his feet.
Fortunately, the fall didn’t unnerve Bruce too much. To ease his fans’ concerns, Bruce gave a quick smile before addressing the audience.
