I have been experiencing a tingling sensation in my nostril. What could be causing this, and is it related to any brain disorder?

For two nights, I've had a swollen left leg, especially around the ankle, which turns dark and swells, causing my foot to turn completely to the right and become extremely painful. I can't stand on it. How long have you had the swelling? About how large is the affected area? Is your foot painful or tender? Do you have any other medical history the doctor should know?

I have stabbing pains on the left side of my body, mainly in the chest. I have been diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy, acid reflux, and muscle pain, and have been taking various medications including Nozer and folic acid, but the pain persists. I also have diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, for which I take chronic medications. I had a Septo-rhinoplasty operation in October last year and am currently suffering from acute sinusitis. I am a smoker. What could be causing the pain and what tests should I undergo?

I am 63 years old and had a CEA blood test that came back high at 6.3. I have multiple sclerosis (MS) and have been feeling weak and run down for a few months. What should I do now?

For the past 3 weeks, I have had persistent lower abdominal pain that is a dull burn lasting all day, with occasional relief in the evenings. My bowel movements have varied between constipation and watery stools, and recently returned to normal but odorless. I have seen my family doctor twice, who suspected diverticulitis and prescribed antibiotics, but subsequent tests including an abdominal X-ray and CT scan showed no signs of diverticulitis. My white blood cells were also normal. I have been referred to a gastro specialist, but the appointment is weeks away. Could this be a severe flare-up of IBS, and are these symptoms similar to those of colorectal cancer, which I know is uncommon for my age?
