I have developed hematomas in my thigh and a Baker's cyst, which were attributed to my artificial aortic valve and triple bypass surgery in 2008. I am currently taking Heparin injections and will switch to Warfarin after three months. What can I do to manage these conditions and prevent further occurrences?

My wife, who is 67 years old, has had double knee surgery with complications from blood clots, a vena cava filter, osteoarthritis in her knees, possibly her hip, and one toe, and has undergone a bunionectomy with screws. She is overweight and has had issues during rehab. I am looking for a specific recommendation for an orthopedic specialist in Louisville, Kentucky, who specializes in treating older individuals, considering her weight, age, and physical activity level. Can you provide a more specific recommendation?

I have a bad rumbling in my throat/chest when I breath and a bad cough that brings up thick mucus. When I blow my nose its thick mucus too. No fever. Fatigued. A little pressure in my sinus. No ear ache/pain. No severe chest/lung pain, just discomfort. Get sweats/chills in AM and PM. Had this for a week now. Is this bronchitis? Supposed to fly 4 hrs tomorrow am. Thoughts?

Over the past couple of months, I have been experiencing intermittent pain on my right side, accompanied by a low-grade fever. Ultrasound and blood tests were normal, but I was prescribed Arcept (likely a misspelling of a medication like Aciphex) for stomach problems. The pain comes and goes, and Tylenol and Aleve are not providing much relief. What could be causing this pain and what should I do next?

I have vitiligo and am considering treatments I found online, such as Vitiligo Tab, Melagenina Plus, and Novitil. These treatments claim rapid results with no side effects. I am planning for my wedding next August and would like to reduce the visibility of my white patches. Should I try these treatments, and how do I go about contacting a dermatologist for professional advice?
