I have pain in the bottom of my feet. It’s tingling and I have had muscle spasms in my feet the last couple of nights. I feel like if I try to stretch my foot, it just hurts and hot water or cold is just too sensitive for my feet. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I just got my lab results back. What does HSV 1, IGG 5.00 and Rubella, IGM TMP mean? Is there anything else important the Doctor should know?

I have a cold and cough that has lasted four weeks. I was scheduled for surgery but it was cancelled, and I was prescribed 7 days of antibiotics which made me feel better. However, the cold is back along with a terrible cough and body aches. My potassium is low and my white count is 3.2. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I just received blood test results showing a Ferritin level of 639. How serious is this, and how soon should I donate blood? I'm a 63-year-old male, and the rest of my blood test results were fine, including normal liver enzyme levels. I had a high Ferritin level two years ago and was advised to donate blood, which I did, and the level went down. I'm not sure what the level was at that time, but I'm wondering how dangerous the current level of 639 is.

Regarding aromatase inhibitors (AIs) and their effectiveness, how do the reported percentages (98% whole body inhibition and 85-95% plasma estrogen level reduction) apply to the potential upregulation of aromatase by alcohol or other factors, and why is the whole body figure more relevant in this context?
