I have been dealing with anxiety for a long time, but lately it feels more intense, causing physical symptoms like itching, eye throbbing, dizziness, and even passing out. I am a breast cancer survivor, taking tamoxifen, celexa 40 mg, and restoril for sleep. I also take ACE inhibitors and blood pressure medications. Could these symptoms be due to medication interactions, and should I consult a psychiatrist?

I have been experiencing chronic back pain, buttocks pain, pain that radiates down to my toes on extreme days, bladder incontinence, difficulty urinating on bad days, double vision, and constant back spasms since injuring my tailbone 5 years ago. My MRI results show decreased signal in the L5 disc consistent with desiccation and degenerative disc disease, a 1.9 cm CSF cyst at S2 likely reflecting an arachnoid or Tarlov cyst, facet hypertrophy at L3-L4 and L4-L5, a small right paracentral subligamentous disc protrusion at L5-S1, and incidental findings of small hemangiomas in T11 and L4. Despite these findings, my pain is intense. Could any of these MRI findings be causing my pain, and if not, what other possibilities should I consider?

What does mild pyelocaliectasis mean, and is it related to kidney stones? My husband has been experiencing nausea, stabbing pain on the right upper side and through to his back, some itchiness inside not on the skin, and diarrhea for the past five months. He has a history of fatty liver and possibly IBS. He was recently diagnosed with mild pyelocaliectasis on the left side, but his pain is on the right side. What could be causing his symptoms?
