I had a major back surgery and became dependent on pain medication, specifically oxycodone. I went through a detox and had a rough time, with the 3rd and 4th days being the worst. After 6 days of not taking anything and starting to improve, I started taking oxycodone again for 5 days and now want to quit for good. Will I go through the same severe withdrawals as before, or will it be easier since I quit for 6 days and have only been back on for 5 days?

Can I take hydroxy cortisone if I am on blood pressure and cholesterol medication, as well as other supplements, and am starting to show symptoms of COVID or a cold?

I've been feeling very fatigued for the last two days, with a constant feeling of tiredness. I've also been sneezing a lot, have a tickling throat, and a stuffy nose, but no fever. I'm 19 years old and not currently using any medications. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

I had a major hernia surgery 5 days ago. My dressing was soaked with fluid and blood today, and I sneezed a few times. The staples look intact, and there is no visible leakage. I am 39 years old, taking Ibuprofen 600 and Tylenol. The blood is more like altered, dark, and mixed with fluid. I have tolerable pain, no fever or chills, and my temperature is 99.4°F. I do not have diabetes and was on a muscle relaxer for 3 days, which ended yesterday afternoon. What should I do?

I've been experiencing swelling that comes and goes, with little to no pain, after following your advice for a little over 24 hours. Is this normal? Additionally, I have hypertension and take vitamin supplements. I am 38 years old and have had this issue for a little over a week. The problem worsens when I walk for long periods or stand for 12-13 hours at work, especially in cold conditions. I have an appointment with a doctor on Tuesday. Have you noticed any pain or changes in color or temperature? I tried Tylenol Arthritis as suggested, and the color changed, possibly due to my eczema. The pain occurs only when I am on my feet for long hours at work, and there is no change in temperature.
