I have been experiencing episodic headaches, facial numbness, jaw pain, tingling in my face, and molar pain for about 3-4 years. My face on the left side is always numb, and the pain sometimes spreads from my left temple to my right temple. I have had an MRI that showed no brain tumor, but I have arthritis and a bulging disc in my cervical spine. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

I have had balanitis for about a year and a half. My symptoms include red, irritated glans, slight burning during urination, and redness and irritation just below the head. I am circumcised. What could be causing these symptoms to last for so long without going away?

I'm trying to determine the difference between perceived weakness and actual weakness, especially with the possibility of ALS. I've been experiencing twitching, dropping things, and occasional intense pain in my elbow. I'm unsure if these are normal occurrences or signs of a more serious condition. Should I be concerned about ALS, or could these symptoms be due to something more benign?

I have lab results showing TSH < 0.01 and free T4 at 11. I have weight loss and excessive thirst. My sister had Graves' disease, and both my mother and grandmother had hypothyroidism. What does this mean?

I have abdominal fat referred to as an 'apron'. It has been extremely hot and humid, causing excessive sweating between the folds, leading to redness, swelling, welts, itching, and warmth. How can I obtain relief?

I went to the dentist for mouth sores on the bottom exostoses, which the dentist attributed to brushing too hard. They prescribed an antibacterial mouthwash and suggested a brush biopsy if the sores don't improve in 2 weeks. I'm worried about the possibility of mouth cancer and whether my exostosis might prevent me from eating hard foods in the future. What do you think?
