I broke out in hives and am super itchy, and my diaphragm feels tight. The itchiness started with my nose feeling raw and swollen, then spread to my wrists, neck, and chest. My skin looks different, with bug bumps like hives. I don't have any known allergies. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had three shots of steroids, EMG treatment, and painkiller patches containing lidocaine for a toe issue. There was confusion about the instructions for using the lidocaine patches. I also experienced pain in my testicles while sitting on the toilet and shoulder pain in the morning. Additionally, there is a discrepancy in my medical documentation regarding the last injection, and I was prescribed work hardening and conditioning. Why was I given an MRI of the cervical spine, and what is the purpose of pain education rehabilitation?

I was spotting for a couple of hours, then it stopped, but I still got a negative pregnancy test result. I have back pain and lower stomach cramping, no medication. My last period was on October 9th, and I have regular periods every month. I am not on any birth control and had unprotected sexual intercourse since my last period. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

I take Brilinta and aspirin due to a heart attack last year. I'm a 33-year-old female. I experienced back pain and foot aches from my menstrual cycle, so I took one of my 600 mg ibuprofen tablets. After taking it, I read warnings about mixing it with my daily medications. What should I do?

I have been experiencing rumbling in my stomach, mainly at night or in the evenings when I'm sitting still, which feels like growling but I'm not hungry. I'm worried this could be a sign of colon cancer. I'm 30 years old, have thyroid disease, no weight loss, no abdominal pain, and no blood in stools. My bowel movements are sometimes soft. I vape, have no family history of colon cancer, and have low ferritin but normal hemoglobin and iron levels. I also have heavy periods and high stress and anxiety levels.

My wife recently injured her right foot when a concrete paver fell on it. She iced it for the first couple of days and has been able to walk with some weight on it. Is it normal to see black bruising moving down her foot to her toes about a week later?
