I am a 48-year-old diabetic woman with 50 pounds of excess weight. For the last six months, I have been experiencing constant weakness, joint, and muscle aches, sometimes severe enough to hinder walking. I maintain a low-carb diet to keep my blood glucose at 110 and eat a balanced diet without smoking or drinking. I am concerned about my symptoms and worry they may worsen. Could this be neurological, and what other factors should be considered?

I have pain on the left side of my chest right under the breast where a bra would go, this pain stretches about six inches toward my back. I am 63 years old, have diabetes, and take insulin as well as oral diabetes medication. I have no shortness of breath, just a pain right under the breast where the rib cage is located.

I had back surgery in 2003 and have been suffering from full back, neck, and shoulder pain. I don't have a chronic pain doctor and need medication. My history includes Oxycontin 10/40 every 6 hours and Norco 12 times a day. I have recent bottles. Can you help with a refill?

My knees are not in the right place, they have moved inward over the years and continue to do so. I have flat feet and experience pain when walking, running, or during rainy weather. The shape of my legs bothers me more than the pain, and I want to correct it through surgery. What kind of surgery can help, and what exercises or treatments can I do in the meantime?

What medical condition could be responsible for swellings at the back of the neck and lymph nodes under the chin, as well as small nodular swellings at the armpits, with an elevated ESR (70 before treatment, 35 after 7 days of antibiotics, and 82 after stopping antibiotics)?

I'm 42 years old, retired smoker for almost 2 years, and about 50lbs overweight. I get very little exercise. Lately, I've been experiencing shortness of breath and feeling very tired, as if I've just run a marathon.
