For the past 4 months, I've had a tingling sensation at the center of my forehead and occasionally on the right side of my head/face. I've also experienced tension headache-like sensations around my whole head, twinges behind my right eye, and sharp shooting headache pain that radiates up the right side of my neck along the back of my head towards my right eye. Despite seeing my GP, who suggested it was likely a pinched nerve from muscle knots and posture, and trying ibuprofen, rest, new glasses, regular massages, and anxiety therapy, the symptoms persist. I'm concerned there might be something else going on. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should I take?

I had to take a body hair pre-employment drug test this week. It was leg hair. I haven't smoked marijuana in at least 7 months, and before that, I smoked occasionally six to eight times a month. How likely is it that I'll pass the test?

I had a condom break during intercourse with a prostitute, resulting in a bleeding wound on my penis. I tested for HIV a week after the exposure and the result was negative. However, I've heard that I need to wait at least 4 weeks after exposure for an accurate test. I'm concerned about the possibility of HIV infection due to this incident.

I have recently been put on trintellix and I'm going to have surgery next week. Is tramadol okay and should I take it the day of anesthesia? Additionally, how do I taper off trintellix if I've been on 10mg for two months and my surgery is next Wednesday?
