Sometimes while sitting, my lower legs and feet swell, my hamstrings tighten, and I start to get prickly feelings over my body. These feelings go away with a restful night's sleep. It starts some days when I walk, and some days it does not bother me. It seems to occur more often in late winter and early spring. Any ideas?

I had an operation to remove a piece of meat from my esophagus eight years ago. I am experiencing difficulty swallowing again, similar to before. The difficulty affects solids, making them feel stuck, but drinking helps them go down. No chest pain or fullness is present.

I have been experiencing severe pain, difficulty bending or straightening my legs, and frequent charlie horses in my thighs, calves, lower back, and legs. My hips also feel like they are popping out of place. I have osteoporosis in the second stage of bone degeneration and joint degeneration. I recently had a bone density X-ray and am waiting for results. I forgot the names of the medications that Dr. Brims recommended for me to discuss with my doctor. Could you please provide the names of those medications again?
