I have pain in my right side (glutes, hamstrings, lower back) that started about 6 months ago. The pain is dull, achy, and sometimes throbbing, and it gets worse with spine extension and movement. My radiology report says both of my SI joints are normal, but the X-ray of my pelvis shows them as completely different. Can I speak to a radiologist about the X-ray images, and what could be causing this discrepancy and my pain?

2 months ago, a stroller snapped closed on my thumb, causing it to feel bruised and sore. The soreness around the 2nd joint of my thumb persists and feels like a sharp, achy bruise when direct pressure is applied. I have a history of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, which usually causes pain in the wrist joint. Should I be concerned about the prolonged healing time for this injury, or is this normal?

Is fully cooked sushi California roll safe to eat with mouth sores and ulcers? I’m concerned about parasites and flesh-eating bacteria.

I have an MRI study showing significant disc degeneration and stenosis in the entire lumbar area with thickened cauda equina. I am retaining urine significantly (prostate is fine after extensive diagnostics) and experiencing sexual difficulties. Would you say surgery is necessary? Immediately?

I had a chest X-ray and noticed a line on the image. I'm unsure if it's inside or outside the lung and whether it could be dangerous. What should I do to determine the nature of this line, and is there a risk to my chest or thyroid gland from multiple X-rays?
