I'm 50 years old and have been working out for years. I've noticed a 2-inch wide, 4-inch long bulge that pops out of my abdomen when I do sit-ups, located right above my belly button.

My fiancé had surgery in 2009 following a head injury in 2008. Since then, he has experienced headaches, nosebleeds, and now itching and pain at the surgery site. He was prescribed clindamycin for an infection, but it causes heavy nosebleeds. What other antibiotics can be used for this type of infection, and what other steps should be taken to address his symptoms?

I have severe pain in my neck and hands, rated at a ten on the pain scale. I take Lyrica for Fibromyalgia but it doesn't seem to help this pain. I also punctured my index finger on a rusty saw on Christmas eve, cleaned it, and applied an antibiotic and a bandage. There are no signs of infection. Should I be worried about tetanus, and what should I do about the pain?
