I have either sciatica or a slipped disc. I'm not sure but I need to be x-rayed. My back on the right side is hurting, and I have been prescribed Naproxzen and Tramadol. What could be causing this pain, and what tests should I undergo to determine the exact issue?

I think I might have toxic shock syndrome. I don't have a rash, but I have a low-grade fever, muscle aches, headaches, and nausea. I've been experiencing these symptoms since Sunday when I realized I had forgotten to remove a tampon from the prior day (over 24 hours). Should I go to the ER now or wait to go to urgent care in the morning?

I have severe back pain, front thigh pain extending to the outer knee, and sometimes groin pain. I've had an MRI showing mild narrowing at L3-L4 and L4-L5 causing compression on the L4 nerve. I've also had two total hip joint replacements. What could be causing my pain, and how can I manage it?

I have been experiencing symptoms such as UTI, swelling in the groin, testicular pain, slight fever, ringing in the ears, and slight discomfort while urinating for about 9 weeks. I have been tested for STDs and bacterial infections, all of which came back negative. I have been on various antibiotics, including Cipro and Augmentin, but the swelling has not improved. What could be causing these symptoms, and what treatment should I pursue?

I woke up with skin tenderness from neck to waist, muscle soreness, and mild numbing feeling. I have Hashimoto's disease, asthma, and recently recovered from acute bronchitis. I finished a Zpack and a steroid for bronchitis yesterday. I've never felt this way before and have a slight sore throat. What could be causing these new symptoms?
