I have been experiencing a mild stinging sensation during and after urination, along with a feeling of retaining urine and small amounts of urine dripping out afterward. I have also noticed some redness and a white area at the opening of the penis, which is sore when touched. Could these symptoms be related to psychological factors, poor hygiene, or physical irritation from retracting the foreskin too much while urinating? Is it possible that these symptoms are being exacerbated by not drinking enough water and over-focusing on the sensations?

My wife, 63 years old, has been experiencing memory loss and has been diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome due to two concussions. Her memory loss is getting slightly worse, and she is using Adderall and Membrin supplements. We had an MRI done, and I have questions about the MRI report: 1) Does the MRI confirm the diagnosis of post-concussion syndrome? 2) What do the radiologist's impressions mean in layman's terms? 3) What are the treatment options?

I just started prednisone for skin issues, but it's making my anxiety and depression worse. I'm taking 20 mg a day for 7 days and then 10 mg for 7 days. Can I stop it abruptly, and is there anything I can do to mitigate the side effects?

I have burning pain in my feet and my fingertips get painfully cold. The foot pain started over a year ago and is constant, sometimes worsening, even at night. The pain feels like hot pins and needles. I had throat cancer 6 years ago and underwent radiotherapy, but now my life and diet are very healthy. I have had normal blood tests, including B12 and folate levels, and no other chronic conditions. I take a B-complex vitamin and have no history of arthritis or spine injury. What could be causing this pain, and what further tests should I consider?
