I have had mild throbbing in my hands for months, which initially felt very achy and now feels like they've been warmed up quickly after being in cold temperatures. I am 5 months postpartum, have had an MRI and bloodwork with normal results, and do not believe it is carpal tunnel. What could be causing this?

My son has a 2-inch vertical gash on the inside of his lower arm, approximately 1/2 inch deep. It was cleaned, taped, and bandaged by a nurse yesterday. I'm concerned about the depth and whether he needs immediate hospital treatment for potential tendon or nerve damage. Should we wait until Monday to see our family doctor, or does this require urgent care? If there is damage to nerves or tendons, is it irreversible, or does the time delay affect the possibility of treatment?

I have had a swollen lymph node on my jaw for over 6 months. It's a little less than an inch, slightly movable, and stone hard. I have no other symptoms and no other swollen lymph nodes. Is this worrisome?

I developed a pain behind my thigh under my left cheek, possibly due to sitting too much. I've been feeling this for about 2-3 weeks. I'm 25 and I workout every day for about 1.5 hours, but my work involves sitting at a computer. What could be causing this pain and can it be fully healed?

I have been dealing with post-Covid or post-mono fatigue for two months and four days. I am a 20-year-old male who was extremely athletic before this infection. I was 6'2" and 220 pounds, slightly overweight, with an unhealthy diet. Despite being in good physical shape, I am frustrated that regular people get Covid less often than me and I'm still dealing with fatigue. I had a five-day period without fatigue last week, but it relapsed two days ago. I am taking Athletic Greens, a multivitamin supplement, and greens extract, and I try to consume 1800 to 2200 calories a day with sufficient protein. My cardio is limited to 1-2 miles a day, and I sleep for eight hours a night. I get frustrated after eating healthy meals, feeling fatigued shortly after. My blood test results were perfect, and they suspect sleep apnea, but I don't snore and don't have sleep issues. What can I do to manage this fatigue?

Does this lesion, which is hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2, look like something that should get biopsied?
