I have been experiencing a pinching, stinging pain in my upper arm for six months. The pain started six months ago and is mostly in my right arm, but occasionally in my left. I am 74 years old and do not have neck pain, shortness of breath, or tingling in my fingers. I am on oxygen. What could be causing this pain and what can I do about it?

My cheeks get too red throughout the entire day, not just during showers or exercise. The redness has been persistent for about a year or two, and it bothers me a lot. I have sensitive skin and use only a milk cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and facial oil. I haven't used any medication for this and haven't seen a dermatologist. What could be causing this redness, and what should I do about it?

I experience a lot of hearing loss, and it runs in my family. My family members wear hearing aids. I have spoken with doctors before but never followed up with an ENT. What are the potential causes of my hearing loss, and what steps should I take to address it?

I am a 76-year-old ceramic artist with a history of bursitis in my right hip, treated with a steroid injection. Recently, I've been experiencing pain on the left side of my neck that causes headaches, which I normally don't get. I've been taking Panadol Osteo for the headaches. My doctor suggested it might be related to my long work hours and possible arthritis. I'm wondering if I could have a scan and potentially receive a steroid injection for the neck pain as well.

I had an ultrasound for lesions on my liver. My doctor wasn't concerned, but I've been experiencing stabbing pains in that area. The pains are sporadic, not constant. I'm out of town and can't get to my doctor till next week. What can I do now for the pain, and is there anything I can take?
