I am 68 years old, male, and have been experiencing difficulty balancing when getting out of bed or a chair for 8 days. Symptoms include lightheadedness and occasional spinning. I am on blood pressure medication (Amlodipine) but not taking any medication specifically for these symptoms. My blood pressure reading was 128 over 68. I have not seen a doctor yet. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I had a period of reduced urination frequency after a trip, but it increased again upon returning. Could this be related to anxiety or OCD, or is there a physical issue with my bladder?

I have a puffy bum with tags skin/small blood spots when wiping. It gets puffy and swells up and turns purple. I had played with some toys with my wife some time ago. How long have you been dealing with this? Does anything in particular seem to make the spots better or worse? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I need shoulder and neck surgery but which should I do first? I have been dealing with this issue for over a year, experiencing sharp pains, numbness, and tingling. I have a C5 C6 herniation with severe stenosis and C7 nerve damage, a labral tear with adhesive capsulitis, and I am anemic with a history of blood transfusions and iron infusions. I have consulted with both a neurosurgeon and an orthopedic surgeon, and I am currently undergoing therapy with no relief from cortisone shots and epidurals. In your opinion, which surgery should be prioritized?
