I have a pain management doctor who said I failed a drug screen for heroin, which I've never used. I took a few somas from a friend before my first appointment with this doctor due to unbearable pain. Could the somas have tested positive for heroin, especially if they came from an online pharmacy?

I have a personal sexual health issue. When I get an erection, the head of my penis curves up/back, which recently started and sometimes causes pain during orgasm. I suspect it might be related to either starting OTC testosterone or a recent accident where I landed on my erect penis. How would a medical professional evaluate this without needing to see me erect, and is it related to masturbation?

I've found a hard lump on my right shoulder. It's been there for about a week. I also have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. What could this lump be and why is this happening?

I have experienced swelling of the part of the shaft closest to the tip after sexual activity and wrinkling of the lower part when coming in from the cold. The swelling can get severe at times, and I have tried going months without sexual activity. I have no fever, no other existing medical conditions, and I am STD-free. What could be wrong?

What causes chest pain when coughing besides excessive coughing? I'm not feeling well and have recently started coughing, which has quickly led to chest pain. I've always attributed painful coughing to excessive coughing, but this seems different.

I began experiencing a burning sensation in my lower abdomen and lower back on my left side, which worsened and spread to the right side, accompanied by hot sweats, nausea, and dizziness. I went to the emergency room, where a CT scan, blood work, and urine sample were all negative. The doctors suspected a kidney stone or urinary tract infection, but found no evidence of stones, hernia, or diverticulitis. They mentioned a couple of liver lesions but said they shouldn't cause the pain. I was sent home with pain meds and antibiotics, but the pain persists, especially when sitting or standing up. Can you suggest anything?
