I have pain on the left side of my throat and my jaw feels like it's locking up. I've had this for about a week and have taken ibuprofen and allergy medicine. I often break out into hives. What could be causing this and what treatments can I take?

I am 52 years old and have been experiencing light spotting intermittently since September of last year, along with irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and difficulty losing weight. I had my tubes tied at 21 and am a 16-year breast cancer survivor. Could these symptoms indicate that I am going through menopause?

I have been diagnosed with drop foot and recently experienced a severe stabbing pain in my calf that lasted a minute. I took 2 Tylenol 1s, and the pain started 5 minutes ago. I have not seen a doctor about the pain. I have a history of lung cancer and take many psychiatric medications. What should I know about this pain?

I am 45 years old and have been experiencing symptoms of urethritis, including a tingling sensation in my penis and perineum, frequent urination, and irritation at the tip of my penis, especially after urination. This started after excessive masturbation and has been ongoing for about 7 weeks. I have been taking Acalka 1080mg and have had a CT scan that showed mild calcification in my prostate. My symptoms have improved but occasionally flare up, particularly when my urine is concentrated. I am concerned about the role of nicotine lozenges and caffeine in exacerbating my symptoms. How long does it typically take for the urethra to fully heal, and what steps can I take to aid the healing process?
