My husband is experiencing horrible back pain, a strange sensation in his mouth when drinking water or breathing air, and numbness in his fingers. He is 60 years old and healthy. Should he seek treatment, and are there alternative treatments available if he doesn't have health insurance?

I’m experiencing severe cramping and abdominal pain that seems to be getting worse, along with hardened stool issues and lower back pain. I’ve tried various remedies like enemas, Miralax, and stool softeners, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

My pain management doctor abruptly stopped my Dilaudid without tapering me down, and I'm unsure what I should do. I've been on it for over 10 years for CRPS, have had 10 surgeries in the last 3 years, and am on several other medications including severe osteoarthritis. I have appointments with new pain management doctors the week of the 21st, but I'm concerned about managing my pain until then. What options do I have?

I have a single small red bump near the top of my penis, to the side of the urethra. I noticed it yesterday and it was irritating me in my boxers. I have had three oral sex partners in the prior few months and occasionally get cold sores from HSV1. I thought HSV2 was not typically spread orally to genitals and that it usually presents with several lesions or bumps. What could this bump be, and should I be concerned about it being an STI?
