I am having difficulty getting my pain medication filled as it is out of stock at my pharmacy and their supplier. I am almost out and it will take two days to get ahold of my primary care physician (PCP). I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and two failed disc replacement surgeries in my lower back. The pain from RA is joint pain in my hands, shoulders, and knees, and I have had one total knee replacement. The pain is dull, achy, and sometimes sharp. I am currently using Hydromorphone 4mg five times a day, but I was recently taken off my extended-release medication due to insurance denial. I am 54 years old and have a history of thyroid cancer with a total thyroidectomy and iodine radiation in 2010, with no recurrence. What are my options for managing my pain in the interim?

I am having an issue with bowel movements where they keep plugging up the toilet due to their size. I have diabetes and am 69 years old. How long have you had the bowel movement? I have one every 2-3 days. Is there anything else in my medical history the Doctor should know?

I've been experiencing nerve-like sensations in the penile area for a while now. I don't have any warts or similar issues. Could this be HPV-related? I also have diabetes and experience nerve pain all over my body. What could be causing these symptoms?

Since 2018, I have had about 5-6 CT scans of the abdomen and 4 CT scans of the chest, each exposing me to 10-15 mSv of radiation. As a 42-year-old male in good health, should I be concerned about developing cancer from this radiation exposure?

I was on Lexapro for 5 days at 10mg and experienced severe side effects like diarrhea, dizziness, nausea, and insomnia. My doctor took me off Lexapro, but I'm still struggling with sleep, even with Hydroxyzine. Will I return to my pre-Lexapro sleep patterns, and how long will it take? Additionally, how can I determine when I no longer need Hydroxyzine for sleep, and should I continue with my usual sleep routine, such as sleeping with the TV on?
