I’m concerned about smelling cooking toast and nothing is cooking. It just started. I also cut my heel with my shoes, not a blister but a rub mark, and now I’m worried about catching an infection. What could these symptoms indicate, and should I be concerned about brain issues, strokes, amoebas, or infections from pool water or public restroom exposure?

I have severe spinal stenosis and am planning to have surgery. I am currently in pain and need medication, but I am allergic to meloxicam and Aleve, and ibuprofen upsets my stomach. I am looking for a pain medication that contains aspirin, Tylenol, or possibly Vicodin (hydrocodone). Can you help me?

Do these look like bedbug bites to you, and if so, how can I manage the itching and swelling? Also, do bedbugs hibernate or become more active due to heat?

Good morning. I’m a healthy 25-year-old female with no conditions. Last night, I was turning on my side in bed and felt a pop followed by severe pain in my upper back and right side of my upper chest. I had difficulty breathing deeply for about 10 minutes due to the pain, which felt like something was out of place. I moved slightly and heard another pop, after which the pain disappeared. What happened? Is this slipping rib syndrome? It doesn’t hurt now; I feel completely fine.
