I have been experiencing pain on the left side below my breast and above my waist, along with a lump and sharp pains that take my breath away. The area is very sore and tender. I also have severe multiple bone spurs in my back, inflammation on my spine, and have been dealing with chronic pain for several years. I take tramadol, flexural, Mobic, and Cymbalta for pain management. I have had recent injuries and surgeries, and I am currently working long hours in retail management. I am tired all the time and have sleeping issues. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do next?

I had a CT scan due to severe lower abdominal and back pain. The CT scan found kidney stones and noted 'The bladder demonstrates a small floating air lucency.' What does this mean and why might I possibly have this?

I took 10ml of Delsym cough suppressant 12 hours ago at 2:30 AM Central time. I have bronchitis, am taking Levaquin and an albuterol inhaler, and have a very stuffy head. I'm not experiencing fever, sore throat, chest pain, or shortness of breath. I also take blood pressure medication and cannot spend more money on additional treatments. Can I take another dose of Delsym, and are there any other measures I can take for relief?

I was diagnosed with strep throat two weeks ago and finished a Z-pack a week ago, but I still have a sore throat. My throat has small cuts and maybe one white spot. Is it possible I could have mono, and what should I do?

I have been experiencing severe pain in the lower right quadrant (LRQ) for the past 2-3 years, which has been getting worse. I have a history of hysterectomy, endometriosis, adhesions, ovary removal, gallbladder removal, spinal surgeries, disc herniation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diverticulitis, and various other medical conditions. The pain is debilitating and affects my ability to stand, walk, sit for long periods, or lay on my right side, but is light to no pain when laying flat. I have had recent abdominal CT scans, MRIs, and blood work, but no one has been able to tell me what is causing the pain. Who should I see to resolve this?

I am experiencing numbness in my left hand and parts of my right side, including hands, legs, and knees. The numbness started last night and has occurred briefly in the past. I am a 58-year-old male with no history of medication use for this issue. My father and uncles died of severe heart attacks. What could be causing this numbness, and what should I do?
