I missed a strip of my leg with sunscreen while on vacation, and it is extremely painful. What should I do?

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?

I started having a burning sensation on my left side under my breast area. It's not tender to touch unless I apply more pressure, and it's centralized to one specific area. 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 am 5 months pregnant and need to know how to safely stop taking Vicodin without major withdrawals or causing severe adverse effects to me or the fetus. My OB knows I'm taking them but not how many. What is the best approach?
