This week my 6-year-old daughter has pooped on herself and thrown up within days of each other. She often complains about her stomach hurting, which comes and goes, mostly at night, and is ache-like. We’ve reduced her dairy intake but are concerned about this being a bigger medical problem. Should we be worried?

I had a ganglion impar block for genital nerve pain and later experienced shocks in my perineum, followed by burning sensations in my butt and thighs, which I didn't have before the block. The block contained a steroid. Could the block have caused these issues?

Hello again, is this psoriasis? Only on one elbow. Not itchy or painful at all. I just discovered it because I had a mosquito on my arm. No peeling, no bleeding, no flaking. I am 30 years old. I think I had a scab there, but with my two kids and life, I can't clearly remember. It's just one elbow, my dominant one as well (R), and no where else.

I stopped taking my propranolol 80 mg and my left foot at the sock line keeps causing my leg by the sock band to swell or retain fluid. I started taking the propranolol again, but it still happens occasionally. I never had this issue until my doctor said it was fine to stop as long as my BP was okay, which it was. I was off it for around 10 to 15 days. Do you know why this is happening? Additionally, I have been on propranolol since 2013 or 2014 due to nerve damage in my right arm, but I experience many side effects like no energy, weight gain, and hives from Red Bull energy drinks. I'm worried and not trusting my doctor because I read that you have to be weaned off propranolol. Is it possible I'm becoming allergic to propranolol? How can I safely stop taking it if it's causing more damage than good?
