About 4 days ago, I was awakened by a fierce pain in my elbow, which felt like I had stuck my elbow into a fire. Since then, my elbow has been swollen, hot, red, and itchy. I am 81 years old and on high blood pressure and cholesterol pills, as well as lesterzole and synthroid. I had both breasts removed due to cancer in 2018 and thyroid cancer in 2006. I also had tennis elbow in that arm and was operated on for it a long time ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have fluid in my ears due to seasonal allergies and I’m on lisinopril 5mg for blood pressure. What can I take to drain the fluid, like Claritin, without interfering with my blood pressure medication?

I am 61 years old with Graves Disease and I need a physician to test my T3 and T4 levels who accepts my Caresource insurance as a new patient. I have experienced recent weight loss, excessive thirst, and a history of breast cancer stage 1 diagnosed on 2/13/2020.

Is it normal for small food crumbs like chips to stick in my throat if I have excess mucus in my throat? I had a modified barium swallow test last week with normal results, but when I swallow, little crumbs stay in my throat and cause it to feel like something is stuck, and when I bring up the mucus with my tongue, it has tiny crumbs in it.

I have a bump on my skin that has been there for about a month. It started as a pimple, but today it is deep purple/blackish and is bleeding. The bump is located on the underside of my breast, close to where the bra lining is, and there is no itching. What could this be and what should I do?
