Is it possible to sprain your foot and not know you did it until pain and swelling starts? My foot hurt about two days ago, and I was slightly limping at work, it was excruciating, just a twinge that was very uncomfortable. Yesterday, I was limping a lot less, almost not at all. This morning I woke up and barely walk, it’s very swollen all on the top of foot, and it’s gotten worse throughout the day. There is nothing that I can think of that I did to injure myself.

I’m pregnant and very sick with hyperemesis gravidarum. I ran out of Ondansetron today and need a script. How many weeks am I? I think I'm 6-8 weeks. I have 2 other children and am unable to function right now. I'm not taking any other medications or vitamins and have no underlying health conditions. What can I do to manage my nausea and get a prescription for Ondansetron?

A 66-year-old person, recently discharged from the hospital after a week-long stay for pneumonia and a mini stroke, is experiencing a sharp pain and burning sensation in their upper right-side back. They are able to breathe normally otherwise. Should they go to the ER, or can this wait for a scheduled doctor's appointment on Tuesday? Additionally, could the higher dosage of blood thinners prescribed during the hospital stay be causing the back pain?

I have intense itching on my arms and hands that has spread from my arms to my hands, palms, and fingers. I have scratched so much that I have scabs and little holes in my skin. My face had a rash that looked like extremely dry skin, which went away after using exederm and cerave for eczema flareups, but my arms and hands still itch. The itchiness occurs during the day, after waking up, and sometimes at night. My skin looks dry and I have poor blood circulation, chronic anemia, and edema in my lower right leg. What could this be and what can I do to alleviate the itching?
