I have sudden swelling on the left side of my jaw near my neck. It just occurred 30 minutes ago and is spreading to my cheek. There is redness and mild pain, but no fever, numbness, tingling, or difficulty swallowing. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Could my unusual masturbation habits involving using spit as lubricant and then drinking directly from the milk carton have caused my mum's friend's throat cancer, given that I am sexually inactive and a virgin?

I have been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and then changed to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome type 3 with advanced rheumatologic disease. However, a new rheumatologist in a different town has ruled out these diagnoses, stating that I do not have any form of rheumatologic disease and only have minimal osteoarthritis. Despite this, I experience extreme pain and stiffness in my joints, especially in my hands. Why do I have so much pain and swelling if there is only minimal arthritis, and do the hands tell the whole story of my condition?

I have been experiencing a variety of symptoms for about a year, including severe GI symptoms, stomach pain, vomiting, severe tinnitus, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, visual changes, paresthesias, ongoing vomiting, constipation, and weight loss of 35 lbs. I have had normal MRI, EEG, and blood tests (except for low Vit D and testosterone, which are now normal), and a CT scan showed a small adrenal mass consistent with a functioning adenoma. Could this mass be causing my symptoms, and should I consult a surgeon?
