I am an 82-year-old female who suffered a broken leg and a broken left shoulder at the same time. My leg is pinned, and I get Synvisc injections about every 6 months. I am having a lot of discomfort behind the left knee, especially when sitting for extended periods on a straight chair. What could be causing this discomfort, and what can I do about it?

Hello, I have a question about my period after getting off Nexplanon and if I could be pregnant. I have only had super light spotting since removal (removed Oct 6, spotting was from Oct 8-11) and no period since. I have had 1 positive pregnancy test on the 7th or 8th of November but all other tests before and after have been negative.

I’m worried about high-risk HPV. It’s my understanding it doesn’t clear itself. I have never had genital warts. I have had 2 cervical scrapes since the encounter in November 2014. The most recent was in December 2020, and there hasn’t been any sexual activity since then. Is it okay to be sexually active moving forward with a new person? Should I be worried about anything? I had STD testing, and there were no issues.

I am under PPI treatment for gastritis and have discomfort under the right ribcage, slow digestion, and IBS. My liver has a normal ultrasound image and normal enzyme levels. Can indigestion cause this discomfort, and what other potential causes should I consider?

My 13-year-old son was hit in the Adam's apple with a baseball. His throat hurts, his voice has changed, and it is tender to the touch. He has been sick for 15 days with a cold that triggered severe asthma. Should I take him to the ER for examination, considering he has a weakened immune system due to steroids and asthma?
