I am in my early 30s and accidentally hit my forearm/elbow on a table three months ago. Since then, I have experienced aching and burning pain that moves from my wrist to my forearm and back, with no swelling or tenderness. The pain is intermittent and can go away for several hours but always returns, especially when I wake up. There is also occasional numbness and tingling in the wrist, and the pain worsens in bright sunlight. What could be causing this pain, and is there an inexpensive way to alleviate it?

My daughter had blood work today and her pediatrician is on vacation. I noticed her BUN/CR ratio increased from 18.0 to 27.5 in just two days, which seems very high. Additionally, her glucose, ANI Gap, AST, and A/G RAT were slightly high. I'm also concerned about her high calcium levels in urine (424, with a normal range of 0-260). She experiences excruciating pain when urinating, though not every time, and her bladder lining is inflamed. What should I make of these results and symptoms?

I wake up with upper spine pain, chest discomfort, and excessive foamy saliva, and I have been diagnosed with Pylori Helicobacter and am taking antibiotics. I also have a mole on my face that I am getting checked and have noticed a pea-sized lymph node in my neck. Could these symptoms be related to acid reflux or anxiety, and should I be concerned about the lymph node and mole?

Over the past three weeks, I have experienced a different feeling in my throat, with redness and bumps at the back, slight soreness, a slight headache, tingling ears, white lines inside my cheeks, and a huge lump at the back of my throat that is growing. I have lost 5kg in one month, feel tired, and have a white coating inside my cheeks and gums. What could this be, and what treatment should I seek?

I have been experiencing bloating, dry throat, nausea, and a pressure-like sensation in my throat, especially after consuming coffee or when my stomach is empty. These symptoms have been occurring on and off for 10 years. I have had normal upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, and recent blood tests. I am a 38-year-old male with no weight loss, normal stool color, and a non-tender stomach. My doctor diagnosed me with GERD, gastritis, or IBS. Should I be concerned about cancer, or is this likely just GERD and IBS?

I have a gastro question. I haven't seen a doctor yet. I'm taking prescription pills for sleep and mood regulation - Resperdal and Seroquel. I am allergic to SedaFed. I've always had a healthy stomach but now my stomach feels like it's on acid all the time. Last week, I took a large amount of regular vitamin pills such as calcium, regular men's multi, and about 5 others at night before going to bed, which I believe caused some damage. My stomach now feels hurt. I'm also experiencing symptoms that seem more like GERD, as my burps are normal and non-acidic. Should I stop taking Resperdal and Seroquel, as they seem to be causing major acid in my stomach, making it difficult to sleep?
