I have sensitive skin around my waist and a rash on my right leg that looks like poison oak but I'm not sure. The rash is on my thigh, calf, and shin. I also have pain in my leg which I believe is nerve-related and has occurred in the past due to bad movements or sitting positions. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?

On May 24, 2016, during a routine blood draw, the technician struck a nerve/tendon in my forearm, causing immediate pain and electrical shock sensations. Since then, I have experienced persistent pins and needles, nerve crawlings, sleep deprivation, and immune problems. My muscles have become stiff, and I have difficulty lifting even light objects. I have been attending physical therapy and changed doctors, but I have not received a diagnosis or treatment. I am scared and need help. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

I have been experiencing stomach cramps and diarrhea since Friday night. Should I go to the ER? I have no vomiting or nausea, and no other medical history to note.

I have a lump at the base of my sternum. Just found it today. Feels hard and doesn't seem to move. I'm female, age 63, had gall bladder out, and have been having mild discomfort in my upper right quadrant (URQ) which is somewhat relieved by taking omeprazole. I do not smoke and only have an occasional glass of wine. What could this lump be and what should I do?

I'm a 30-year-old female experiencing persistent lower left pelvic pain, occasional diarrhea, and lower back pain aggravated by sitting. I've been tested for a UTI and had a small one that cleared up, but the pain remains. I've also been on birth control for hormonal balance, but the pain persists. What could be causing these symptoms?
