I have been experiencing intense burning and itching of my toes for about ten days, which is worsening. I initially used a cortisone cream and then a prescription foot cream, both of which provided temporary relief. I also took prednisone for two days, which helped but exacerbated my arrhythmia, so I stopped. I have redness on my toes but no cracking or peeling skin, and some bumps that are not water-filled. I need relief from the severe itching and burning that is disrupting my sleep. What could be causing this and what can I do for relief?

I have severe pain and a lump below the center sternum that radiates in waves into the back, both sides of the chest, and the lower back. There is also some belching involved. I had a similar episode about a month ago that lasted for four days before it went away. I don't have health insurance and no family doctor. What could be causing this and what should I do?

For 3 years, I've been experiencing constant discomfort on my upper left side, tingly feelings in my arms, legs, fingers, and toes, weight loss due to nausea, clamminess, and feeling cold even in hot weather. I often feel like I'm having a heart attack, but my heart and other tests are normal. I haven't had an MRI or CT due to lack of insurance. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I consider?

I went three weeks without a bowel movement. I tried stool softeners, enemas, and after 3 days of laxatives, I finally went. What could be stopping my bowels from moving?

I frequently experience poop when I flatulate. What causes this, and what exam can help diagnose the issue? I have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease and have had annual colonoscopies and endoscopies.

I am trying to get pregnant and have been trying for 7 months without success. My period is usually fine and regular, but last month I had my period twice in one month, which is unusual for me. What could be causing this issue with my period and delayed pregnancy?
