I had knee replacement surgery 5 weeks ago and have been having trouble falling asleep since then. I lay in bed tossing and turning and feeling tingly for hours. I have never had a problem falling asleep in the past. What could be causing this and what can I do to improve my sleep?

My daughter just came home from the hospital where she was diagnosed with a 24-hour stomach flu. She is experiencing a heavy, painful, and uncomfortable feeling in her upper and lower abdomen, even though she hasn't eaten much since her illness started. What could be causing this and what can we do to help her feel better?

I am experiencing numbness and tingling in my feet, hands, and other parts of my body. I recently had a high PSA number, which has since returned to normal, and I have been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis. My general doctor and a urologist believe the prostatitis is unrelated to the numbness. What could be causing the numbness, and what tests should I consider?

Should I stop taking Metoprolol before Benazepril? I am a 54-year-old white male with high blood pressure, experiencing vision issues, fatigue, dizziness, and anxiety. I have been prescribed Metoprolol, Amlodipine, and Benazepril, but I feel like a zombie and am concerned about the side effects. My blood pressure is still not well-controlled, and I am worried about rebound hypertension if I stop the beta blocker.

I had shoulder surgery in June for impingement, bursa removal, and shaving of the labrum and rotator cuff. The pain has returned in a different location, and I'm concerned about possibly tearing the rotator cuff again. I've had shots, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy, but I don't want to go through another year of treatment without improvement. Should I consider surgery again, and is it reasonable to prefer surgery if it's the only way to address the issue effectively?
