I have severe neck spasms on the left side and severe pain in the shoulder blade area extending to my ribs, which sometimes makes the area immobile. I had a thoracic MRI and a bone scan, both of which showed nothing. I am scheduled for a facet block next week. What can I do for this pain?

I have FMS (Fibromyalgia). My left forearm, near the medial cubital vein, has been swollen for about 6 months. It was intermittent for a year before becoming permanent. It is always tender and bothersome. I can't afford to go to the doctor unless absolutely necessary. What information can you provide?

I found out my girlfriend was pregnant about 6-7 weeks ago and we decided to have an abortion. She went to Planned Parenthood for the procedure, but two weeks later, she was told she was still pregnant. She doesn't want to go back to the same clinic and other doctors recommended a hospital surgery costing $5,000 or she will have the baby. Can we sue the doctor for the failed abortion, and is it possible to still be pregnant after a surgical abortion at 5-6 weeks? Also, is complete anesthesia necessary for the recommended hospital procedure?

My mother is a three-time survivor of colon cancer, and recent tests show she is clear of cancer. However, she recently woke up with swollen neck glands, a swollen face, and swollen under-eye area. Her doctor's blood tests revealed no abnormalities, and she has no fever, pain, or tenderness. What else could we look at?

I was diagnosed with ADD as a child 12 years ago by the school psychologist and it's affecting me now. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to discuss medication. Will I have to go through more testing, or can the doctor start me on medication based on my past diagnosis?
