I have either sciatica or a slipped disc. I'm not sure but I need to be x-rayed. My back on the right side is hurting, and I have been prescribed Naproxzen and Tramadol. What could be causing this pain, and what tests should I undergo to determine the exact issue?

I think I might have toxic shock syndrome. I don't have a rash, but I have a low-grade fever, muscle aches, headaches, and nausea. I've been experiencing these symptoms since Sunday when I realized I had forgotten to remove a tampon from the prior day (over 24 hours). Should I go to the ER now or wait to go to urgent care in the morning?

I have severe back pain, front thigh pain extending to the outer knee, and sometimes groin pain. I've had an MRI showing mild narrowing at L3-L4 and L4-L5 causing compression on the L4 nerve. I've also had two total hip joint replacements. What could be causing my pain, and how can I manage it?

I have been experiencing symptoms such as UTI, swelling in the groin, testicular pain, slight fever, ringing in the ears, and slight discomfort while urinating for about 9 weeks. I have been tested for STDs and bacterial infections, all of which came back negative. I have been on various antibiotics, including Cipro and Augmentin, but the swelling has not improved. What could be causing these symptoms, and what treatment should I pursue?

I woke up with skin tenderness from neck to waist, muscle soreness, and mild numbing feeling. I have Hashimoto's disease, asthma, and recently recovered from acute bronchitis. I finished a Zpack and a steroid for bronchitis yesterday. I've never felt this way before and have a slight sore throat. What could be causing these new symptoms?

I'm experiencing severe morning sickness during my first pregnancy. I'm 7.5 weeks pregnant, have difficulty keeping food and water down, and have taken anti-nausea medications without relief. I also have vivid dreams, cramps, and a cough from a previous virus. Should I go to the hospital, and what can be done to alleviate my symptoms?
