I had a laminectomy in L4-5 in 2009 and also had a linea tear. Can a linea tear affect the bursa in my hip? I have rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, and degeneration around the bones, and have had cortisone injections in L4, L5, and S1 joints with no effect. I also have bulging disks but no nerve root compression. My leg symptoms are recurring despite cortisone injections in the bursa.

I randomly get swollen eyes (left or right) about once a month. They last about 2 days and are often worse in the morning. I've been to an allergy doctor, tracked my diet and environment, but haven't found any consistent triggers. The swelling doesn't cause pain or vision problems, but it feels tingly as it grows. What could be causing this and what can I do to prevent or treat it?

There's no rash, and it's not in the ribs or abdomen area. The burning sensation sometimes leaves a tingling around the left shoulder area down the arm a bit. What could be causing this burning sensation?

I keep getting a throbbing/pulsating pain in my calf at night, which is quite painful for a minute. It feels like it's in the exact same place and has been going on for a few weeks. I am 17 weeks pregnant and quite worried. There is no swelling or redness, no family history of this, and I'm not taking any medications.
