I tore my meniscus in an accident 40 years ago, and the knee pain got progressively worse over the years, from clicking to not being able to walk up stairs. I am now diagnosed with osteoarthritis and have a torn meniscus. Could this possibly be related to the accident which I fell and hung onto a ladder by my foot twisting my leg?

I am 55 with an underactive thyroid, taking 125 mcg of Levothyroxine and 20 mg of Omeprazole for gut issues. I recently had a metallic taste in my mouth after dental fillings, which has led to excessive saliva production. I am also under significant stress due to personal and professional life changes. Could these symptoms be related to my medications, stress, or thyroid levels?

I have been taking hydrocodone throughout my entire pregnancy, quitting two weeks ago. I am 36 weeks pregnant and want to know if my baby will be delivered without withdrawal symptoms since I wouldn't have had the medication for a month before delivery. I was only taking 7-14 mg a day, tapering to 5mg daily, and now I'm off of them.

I have been diagnosed with PBC and AIH. I'm on ursodiol and azathioprine, and while there are improvements in AST/ALT, there's no change in Hep/1. I constantly feel fatigued, have a low-grade headache, slight nausea, need to sleep every 3-4 hours, and sleep poorly due to a urinary problem. I feel like I have the flu and take 9 medications plus 4 eyedrops. I've had a corneal transplant and am trying to control eye pressure. What should I do?

I have a lump on the back of my head that bleeds quite often. Is it soft, hard, or firm? How long have you had this lump for? What area of the head is it on? Does it discharge pus when it bleeds? Does the lump get tender, hot, and painful when it bleeds?
