I weigh 260 to 270 lbs and am in good health. I have chronic pain in my lower back and legs due to a car wreck. I have been on pain meds for several years, currently taking 90 mg of morphine sulfate 4 times daily. I do not feel anything other than relief while taking this. I have tried other pain meds, none work. My labs have always come back perfectly fine. Is this considered 'too much'?

One of my testicles started hurting after a bicycle ride. The pain has been stable for two days and occurs when I walk or do something, but stops when I sit. There is no swelling or changes in urethral discharge or urinary symptoms. This is the first time I've experienced this issue. The testicle on the affected side seems larger, possibly the size of an egg.

My daughter, who is 8 years old, has started experiencing tics involving involuntary head, arm, and mouth movements. She has also had a verbal episode and increased stress due to online schooling and family work pressures. Will a pediatrician be the appropriate type of doctor for her to see, and could these tics be transient or caused by stress? Is there any lab testing that could determine the cause?
