I am a disabled veteran with an 80% disability rating. A VA representative advised me to get a letter from a doctor stating a rating increase to 100%. Can your doctors help with this? My symptoms include severe nerve pain in the leg, lower back pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, and depression. I have been on many medications over the years and was previously informed that I could have received a 100% unemployment rating if I hadn't taken a job. I also have a history of cancer, though it is not service-connected.

I have been taking Apo-cephalex (4 x 500 mg) for 10 days and have developed an itchy rash from neck to hips, which has worsened. I have had reactions to antibiotics before and am unsure if I should go to the emergency room. Should I stop taking the remaining pills and seek medical attention?

A 71-year-old male is experiencing a sensation of a shade or curtain being pulled down over his left eye, sudden onset of floaters and bright flashing lights, eye pain, headache, and increased teariness. He denies fever, chills, and weakness. What could be the cause of these symptoms, what diagnostic tests should be done, and what would be the treatment management and patient/family education?

I have a medical question regarding my breasts. One breast feels slightly heavy and tight on the inside. My husband checks regularly and finds no lumps. I have health anxiety and am concerned if this is a serious symptom. I am 27 years old with no family history of breast cancer. Should I be worried, and what could be causing this?
