I have been experiencing severe, persistent itching despite using various lotions and medications like Clobetasol and XYzal. I am allergic to Sulfa, have a Cordis stent, and my Endocrinologist PA detected a Burie sound with a 40-50% reading. I am a 77 1/2-year-old female and am unsure if I should see a General Practitioner first or wait for my upcoming Endocrinologist and Endoscopy appointments. What additional steps or treatments can I try for my itching?

I am 68 years old, male, and have been experiencing difficulty balancing when getting out of bed or a chair for 8 days. Symptoms include lightheadedness and occasional spinning. I am on blood pressure medication (Amlodipine) but not taking any medication specifically for these symptoms. My blood pressure reading was 128 over 68. I have not seen a doctor yet. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I had a period of reduced urination frequency after a trip, but it increased again upon returning. Could this be related to anxiety or OCD, or is there a physical issue with my bladder?

My left arm is hurting with a heavy, shooting pain that comes and goes. I have had two stents placed in June 2010. Is this a sign of something serious, and should I consult my doctor?

I have a puffy bum with tags skin/small blood spots when wiping. It gets puffy and swells up and turns purple. I had played with some toys with my wife some time ago. How long have you been dealing with this? Does anything in particular seem to make the spots better or worse? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?
