I have edema in my arm that has been concerning me for about 3 days. I am 65 years old and recovering from a stroke.

I am a 25-year-old male experiencing shoulder pain and chest discomfort for over 2 years. My doctor has conducted heart tests and confirmed my heart is fine. What could be causing my pain, and why does it seem heart-related?

I have diarrhea that has been getting worse over the past two days. I have no appetite, my stomach growls a lot, and I'm only taking Pepto Bismol. I'm 19 years old, don't have any illnesses, and the diarrhea doesn't have mucus or blood. I've been to the bathroom 6 or 7 times since this morning. Did I eat anything out of the ordinary before the diarrhea started?

I work in a daycare and have been getting sick with the flu on a weekly basis since January, experiencing fever, chills, sometimes a sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. I interact with sick children at the daycare and have not received a flu vaccine this year. I have taken ibuprofen for some of my symptoms. My blood work in December showed no deficiencies or concerns. What could be causing my recurring fevers and what can I do to recover?

We are staying in Navarre, Florida, for this month and next. My wife has two places on the shin of her lower left leg that will not heal (over three months). Is there a wound specialist near me that she can see?

I had penile trauma from using an extension device combined with jelqing. Initially, I was able to get erections and had normal sexual function after resting, but now I'm not naturally getting erections and don't feel aroused. I also have slight discomfort on the right side of my penis where the initial trauma occurred. Should I see a doctor, and is LI-ESWT treatment (shockwave treatment) via an at-home device a bad idea?
