I have been experiencing sciatic pain and muscle spasms in my hip, consistent with piriformis syndrome, since 3/7. The pain is constant and includes various types, such as sharp, dull, achy, and stabbing. I had a partial discectomy on L4/L5, L5/S1 in September 2017. I have not had an MRI due to insurance constraints and have tried treatments like lidoderm patches, ice packs, and ibuprofen without significant relief. What should I do next?

We have a newborn grandchild with a red, rash butt. The doctors advised against using talcum powder due to potential eye issues. Our other kids used talcum powder successfully for 2 1/2 years without any issues. Do you have an opinion on this? The mother is not breastfeeding, using formula, and the child just had a circumcision. The redness is only around the rectum area.

I have mild lymphocytosis and slightly enlarged lymph nodes in my groin area, as well as a harder mass under my jawline. I'm concerned about the possibility of lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. What should I do?

Regarding my previous concern about the buzzing and vibrating feel on my penis. I have reduced my caffeine intake as advised, which has helped. However, despite normal results from urine tests and ultrasounds for the bladder and kidneys, I still worry that I may have an STI. I don't have any symptoms or bumps, but I am concerned because I know I am a hypochondriac. I need help for this problem!
