I had a C5-C6 fusion two weeks ago. During the follow-up visit a week later, an X-ray showed a large part of my C5 has detached and is now floating in limbo. Is this common, and what should be done about it? I am experiencing difficulty swallowing and am concerned about long-term issues from the displaced bone fragment and how the bone will heal where the fracture occurred.

How long can I bleed heavily with my period before it is dangerous? It has been 5 days with frequent pad changes and clots. I don't smoke.

I take Yaz for birth control, and my periods are usually normal, but this month, I had an abnormal period with a dried tissue and blood appearance. I had a severe allergic reaction to clindamycin, an antibiotic, and was on a steroid pack for 6 days. Could this affect my period, and is there a significant chance for pregnancy?

I have a major headache that started this morning and hasn't responded to over-the-counter treatments. I have no history of similar headaches, nausea, or sensitivity to bright lights or loud sounds. What should I do?

I have been feeling dizzy with terrible headaches and spotting while having intercourse. I have also been nauseous, experiencing diarrhea, and my periods have ended about 2 days early. Could I be pregnant, and is it possible to get pregnant while not ovulating?

I went to the ER on 11-23 and was diagnosed with bronchitis. I was given antibiotics and steroids, which helped my breathing but left me very sore, weak, and with sharp pains in my legs and arms. I am still tired and take vitamin C daily. It has been over a month, and I am unable to work as a certified nurse assistant due to lack of strength. Is there anything else I can do about the pain, and could there be something else wrong?
