I have a history of wrist injuries, including a broken bone in my right wrist and multiple sprains, leading to chronic pain that radiates from my wrists to my arms, neck, and causes headaches. I take ibuprofen but it doesn't provide much relief. My current doctors don't seem to believe or help me. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to get relief?

I'm experiencing a strange spasm just below my left rib cage. I have a history of high blood pressure and sleep apnea, but my blood pressure is closer to normal now. I exercise about 5 days a week and had this feeling after working out my abs. What could be causing this spasm and what self-care measures can I take?

My 15-year-old son has been experiencing a non-productive cough and intermittent fevers since the end of May, with no other significant symptoms except occasional drainage and tiredness during fever episodes. He has a history of bronchitis and Spina Bifida L3-L4 with a VP shunt. The doctor diagnosed him with throat striations and bluish-white nose lining, indicating allergies. What could be causing these symptoms, and what steps should be taken to address them?

My son worked with my husband a few months ago tearing up wood floors. He has had this spot on his knuckle ever since. It hurts a little if you touch it. What do you think it is?

I have had a small hard swelling on both sides of my navel, especially after eating, with occasional twinges of pain. I've tried Motrin and apple cider vinegar with water, which provided some relief. The swelling and firmness are noticeably gone upon waking. I initially thought it might be related to my gallbladder, but there is no severe pain or other symptoms. What could this be, and what should I do to relieve the discomfort until I can see my doctor?
