I feel discomfort inside my penile head, which I think is referred pain. I slept on my stomach and woke up with this discomfort/pain. Pushing above the penile area, particularly on the left side, causes pain that seems to refer to the glans. The pain is more noticeable when the penis moves or rubs against clothes, but it's absent when I'm still. There's no swelling, bruising, redness, or signs of STDs. I was exposed to a person of unknown status in October 2021 and have been tested since then, with the last test in February 2022 showing negative for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis, etc. A cystoscopy in January 2022 was clean, and IGG for herpes showed positive for HSV 1 and negative for HSV 2. I've had cold sores all my life. I also recently tested positive for COVID. Could this discomfort be related to any of these factors?

I am a 37-year-old man experiencing pain in my right foot, particularly when walking or bending my big toe upwards. The pain was intense and sudden a few months ago, but now it's less severe but still significant. The urgent care doctor did not think it was gout and suspected overuse. Weight lifting and wearing work boots exacerbate the pain. What could be causing this pain, and should I be concerned about it being something serious like bone cancer?

I have chronic pancreatitis with no pain, but I experience nausea, vomiting, and weight gain. How can I improve my condition, and will a diet change help with the bad-smelling stool?

After completing the Zpak, I'm still feeling crappy with symptoms like foggy head, clammy skin, and weakness. How long will these side effects last, and is there anything I can do to alleviate them?

Are there any reported complaints or concerns about Dr. David Leng, MD, a former surgeon now practicing as a Primary Care Physician (PCP) for 14 years, employed by Kaiser Permanente (KP)? I am concerned about his background and recent prescription changes that have negatively affected my health.

Does donating blood lead to inaccurate blood test results? I am a regular blood donor using the Red Cross’ power red donation procedure. My most recent donation was on June 29. Two days after the donation, on July 1, I had CMP, Lipid panel, and CBC with differential tests. Will any of the results from this test be impacted by the donation? I am particularly interested in cholesterol results.
