I have a TMJ dysfunction with a dislocated and unreduced joint, a buckled disc, and no signs of arthritis. My doctor wants to do a total joint replacement, but I'm unsure if my condition is severe enough for this. What is your opinion on the best treatment option, considering the risks and long-term implications, including the possibility of infections and heterotropic bone growth post-surgery?

My 23-year-old son has been experiencing constant chest pain that is felt towards the heart, especially when he breathes in. This is the first time he has had this type of chest pain. He has been under stress and depression for the past two months due to a breakup and occasionally consumes alcohol or smokes. What could be causing this chest pain and what steps should we take?

I used 4 puffs of meth 3 months ago and have been experiencing memory, focus, and vision issues along with anxiety. I'm unsure if these symptoms are due to meth toxicity or anxiety. Can a PET scan or other tests show if there are permanent effects on my brain from the meth use?

Could a blood clot be possible on the front of the thigh just above the knee? I am 5 months and a half postpartum, with no history of DVT. I started having pain this morning, similar to a workout pain, but I didn’t work out. I just walked a lot at work, and only my left side is cramped/sore. I feel like it’s lightly red but not a big difference and slightly swollen, but my husband can’t tell. I’m just worried about blood clots.
