I have no pain or trouble swallowing, but my throat feels swollen and it feels swollen when I swallow. How long have you had the swelling? How large is the affected area? Is your throat painful or tender? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the swelling or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I am having a sharp pain in my right nipple that comes and goes. Today I felt a tiny ball in that nipple. What could it be? My aunt had cancer at my age so I am kind of concerned.

How long after taking Tylenol or ibuprofen can I drink a bottle of wine? I took 2-500 mg Tylenol at 3:30 am this morning and 2-350 mg Tylenol yesterday due to a headache. Now, I want to drink 4 glasses of wine (4 oz each) this evening at 6 pm.

I have been losing my voice intermittently since March. I am 38 years old, not on any medications, and work on the phone from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I suspect something might be wrong with my throat. What could be causing this and what are the treatment options?

I need my right hip replaced. Yesterday, I fell hard on my left side (I did NOT fall on my 'bad' hip). But that bad hip is killing me now. Recent x-ray showed very little cartilage left in that hip. I can barely walk even with a walker. There is no pain when I sit. I can put weight on the leg but it hurts. I run a rescue and have a lot of animals here, and while my husband is a big help, he needs me to direct him and the meds as he has cognitive impairment. It snowed a lot now, and going to the hospital would be tough and getting down the 4 stairs to outside would be very painful. How do I know if my hip is broken or if I just need time? I'm scheduled for replacement in June.
