I have outer wrist pain when spinning my hand, especially when turning my wrist outward past my little finger. I am a Division 1 volleyball player. The pain is constant and worse when twisting my wrist or hitting a ball with a limp hand. There are no restricted movements, tingling, or numbness, but there are clicking sounds when I press on the bone on the bottom outside of my wrist. What could this be and what should I do?

I noticed mild gynecomastia earlier this year, which became more pronounced and tender in late July. The right nipple had a slight red pimple-like spot that resolved with warm compresses. The right side feels lumpy and mobile under the skin. My PCP found nothing concerning and all lab results were normal, including testosterone levels that have been decreasing over the past few years. I stopped using a DHT blocking shampoo and conditioner due to potential hormonal effects. My PCP suggests retesting hormones in January. I am trying to understand the causation and the timeframes for hormone levels to rebalance if an offending agent is stopped. Can you provide insight?

I think I am having an IBS flare but I am unsure. I am 24 years old, lactose intolerant, and currently using Align probiotic. I've been having diarrhea for over a week with some abdominal cramping. I tried the BRAT diet but it didn't help much. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a small open wound on my son that won't close. It's very small, not painful, and not infected. The doctor said it was a blister and needs time to heal. Why is this happening?

Hi, I had a CT scan about 10 hours ago in the ER. I just noticed when I drink water there's a bad aftertaste. Is this normal, and should I be concerned?
