I am a 53-year-old female with hereditary high cholesterol (230-240) and high blood pressure (moderate), managed with Atenolol. I had a severe reaction to Lipitor, experiencing blood in the urine and bladder pain, which resolved after stopping the medication. My cardiologist has now prescribed 5mg of Crestor. I am concerned about potential side effects, particularly renal failure. Should I continue with Crestor, and what are the risks associated with it?

I was recently advised to stop taking all supplements with Vitamin D. My D levels were 200. I have not had any supplements with Vitamin D since Friday. I have been suffering from a terrible pain in my lower abdomen since Saturday. Could this pain be associated with a withdrawal from the Vitamin D? Heat seems to help with the pain but it hurts to eat and it hurts not to eat.

I have pain in my upper groin. There was a slight pain for a couple of weeks, and it got worse after running with kids. There is also some swelling just below my waist. What could this be and what should I do?

Can you get pregnant without your hymen being broken, and what are the implications if you miss a period, have a faint pregnancy test line, or consider taking the abortion pill?

I'm a 60-year-old man with diabetes. My belly has started to get bigger since I started injecting insulin (Novolog) three times a day. Could the Novolog be causing this? Am I retaining water? Before, I was losing weight slowly without even trying. What's going on?
