I live in Arkansas and have been taking pain medication for 10 years. My doctor retired, and I'm having trouble finding a new doctor who will prescribe the same amount of medication. I was taking 4 oxycodone 15mg per day, which was effective, but now I'm being cut back and can't make it through the month without running out. I have a history of a bulging disk in my back, a bad ulcer in my throat, and bipolar disorder. What should I do?

I am diabetic and my toes feel a bit numb, but I can still feel cold, hot, and pressure. I have a lot of anxiety and think this might be causing my symptoms. What does pins and needles feel like, and could this be neuropathy or just anxiety?

A floor in an old house gave way under one leg, causing a hard bang to the elbow and a 3/4" deep cut. The cut was butterflyed and healed well, but X-rays showed no issues. Now, five days later, the arm is badly swollen from the elbow down to the hand, with significant redness and heat. Antibiotics were taken as directed, but the condition is not improving. When were the antibiotics prescribed, and have you seen a doctor about the redness?
