I have had severe pain on my ribs just under my right breast. It hurts when I press on it, when I do anything physical, when I breathe, lay in bed, turn over. Pretty much all the time! I am being treated for asthma and have been breathing well. I am coughing up gunk occasionally but other than that I’m healthy. This pain has been here for 2 weeks and nothing helps take away the pain. I’ve tried topical ointment, topical lidocaine, and every other topical ointment I can think of. I do also take hydrocodone for my hip pain and that doesn’t touch the rib pain either... please any help would be fantastic as I just can’t live with this anymore.

I have a new ECG that I sent with 5 pictures. What does it show, and is there any evidence of heart problems?

I am experiencing mild vaginal itching on the inside with no vaginal discharge. My period ended last Saturday, and I am currently ovulating. I haven't taken my birth control pill for two days due to nausea. My last pap test was on August 16th, with negative results, and there is no swelling, discoloration, or unusual smells. Should I be concerned, and what should I do about the itching?

I had unprotected sex as the insertive partner and started PEP 12 hours after possible exposure. My partner claimed to be HIV-negative, but I started PEP as a precaution. I completed the full 28-day course of PEP without missing any doses. Six weeks post-exposure, I tested negative with a 4th Generation Lab Test. I am awaiting my 12-week post-exposure confirmatory test results and am nervous that they might change. Is it possible for my results to change, and how does the protection of PEP compare to using a condom or PREP?

How significant is the difference between these two prescriptions? If I had sunglasses with one prescription could I continue occasional wear of them with eyeglasses of the other?

I would like to know if I could possibly get access to a portal to get the results of my blood work. I have blood taken every Monday, and I have a pic line with Daptomycin IV done every day. Are there any other results that I can get from the blood work that's taken?
