I have osteoarthritis with 2 knee replacements, a shoulder replacement, mild spinal stenosis, and some hand osteoarthritis. I recently had surgery and am experiencing localized pain. I also had a fractured occipital area in my skull with intracranial bleeding after fainting. I had an MRI and CT scans, but no specific problems were found. What could be causing my pain, and what can I do about it?

I sometimes experience a warm sensation in my core around my midriff and upper belly region, which radiates outward from deep within. It is comforting and not associated with sweating or discomfort. I am under considerable emotional stress and wonder if this sensation is related to stress or if it has a physical cause. Have you heard of others experiencing a similar phenomenon?

I have been experiencing extreme pain near the anus, which is sharp and burning, for a few months. The pain has worsened over the last few weeks and occurs randomly throughout the day, even when laying down. I have a history of IBS and occasional constipation, but mostly diarrhea. I have also had itching in the past, but now it's just pain. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

A few years ago, I tore my rotator cuff on my right shoulder and have since dislocated it. Yesterday, I threw a football and think I hurt it again. I can lift weights, but the throwing motion always causes pain and it constantly pops when moving around. Does this sound like a torn rotator cuff? Does this require surgery or should I just avoid the throwing motion?
