My husband has been experiencing constant itching for months and has visited a diabetes doctor, an allergist, a regular MD, and a dermatologist, but no one can prescribe something to make it stop. He is using permethrin cr 5% 60 GM and dose-in 25 mg 3 x daily, and takes 5 mg Lipitor, 20 mg toporol, and kombiglyze xr 2.5-1,000 MG twice daily. What could be causing the itching and what can be done to alleviate it?

I'm a 35-year-old overweight female. After a deep massage in February, I experienced chest pain, anxiety, rib pain, nausea, stomach pain, and a bitter taste in my mouth. My recent blood work shows normal ALT, AST, bilirubin, A1C, and sugar levels. I'm nauseous after eating and worried about pancreatic cancer. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have really bad stomach pain. I'm a 31-year-old female, and the pain came on suddenly last night. It was all over the abdominal area, and I couldn't pinpoint one specific location. I also experience mild, intermittent nausea but no changes in bowel movement. I do not have any of my female organs besides my cervix, and my appendix has been removed. I suffer from chronic anxiety and stress. What could be causing my stomach pain, and what should I do if it happens again?

I suffered a soccer injury 7 hours ago where my right index finger was jammed by a strong force from a ball. I don't feel any broken bones, but is it possible for a fractured finger to not feel like a fracture? The finger is swollen and hurts quite a bit. If it is a sprain, what are the consequences of a sprain if untreated? Also, is it true that if a bone is fractured, it can cause fat embolism syndrome, and is a finger bone, if broken, too small to release enough fat into the bloodstream for that to be a brain-threatening or lung-threatening situation?
