I am a 20-year-old baseball player with hand pain when swinging a bat. The pain is located at the pinky knuckle, side of the hand to the wrist. An X-ray showed no fracture. The pain occurs after 25 swings with a regular bat. I have been hitting against weighted heavy balls and using weighted bats. What could be causing the pain and what should I do for treatment?

I have a bladder infection that just started bleeding today, and I also take a blood thinner. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment until tomorrow. Should I be concerned and go to an urgent care today?

I re-injured a Jones fracture that was almost healed after 8 weeks of non-weight bearing. Now, the doctor has me in a walking air boot, but it hurts more with weight on it. Should I be walking now, and is this pain normal?

When I do cardio, I get random quick half-second bursts of pain/pressure in the center of my chest, which only happens when I'm exercising. I have no shortness of breath and only noticed this two weeks ago when I started running. I have a history of gastritis and high blood pressure runs in my family, but no heart attacks under age 80. I'm a 33-year-old male and not on any medications. I had an EKG and stress test ten years ago, which were fine. What could this chest pain be, and what should I do?

Hello, I have the Frieda nose sucker and my baby had it in his hands and then the red end piece was gone. I don't know if he swallowed it but he has no discomfort or is not in any distress. What should I do?

I have been experiencing various symptoms including a sudden severe headache, neck pain, dizziness, numbness on one side of my head and face, tingling sensations, and high blood pressure. I am concerned about the possibility of an arterial tear, dissection, or other serious conditions. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
