I'm a 70-year-old man who had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery in August 2022. Six weeks after surgery, I had an incident where my dog jumped up and hit my left testicle, causing it to move into the hernia area. The pain has not subsided, and an ultrasound showed fluid buildup around the testicle and connective tissue to the abdomen. The pain is constant, more severe during masturbation, and ranges from achy to stabbing. I have not experienced nausea, bloating, or changes in stool. What should I do?

I have a pain behind my pubic bone that at times is very sharp stabbing hot pain. I had a complete hysterectomy in 2003. I have no insurance and will have Medicare in October. Should I be concerned?

I've been experiencing fever, chest heaviness, and breathing difficulties, especially with deep breaths, despite having asthma. My fever has fluctuated, and I've been using albuterol inhalers and a nebulizer for relief. I'm concerned about my worsening condition and whether I should seek further medical attention or if there are additional treatments I can try at home.

I had an allergic reaction to eating shrimps three and a half hours ago. My torso is hot, itchy, and covered in bumps. I'm not on any medication and I'm 73 years old. I had a similar reaction to prawns several years ago where my throat tightened, but it hasn't this time. What should I do?

I have been experiencing inflammation in both ears, which has been decreasing over time. I also noticed a slight hearing loss. The affected area seems to be the whole middle ear, and I feel pressure, but it's not painful anymore. I'm not currently taking any medications, and my doctor thinks it might be due to ear wax buildup. I'm 33 years old and male. What could be causing this issue, and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I have lower back pain and want to know if my flat feet and large breasts are contributing to the problem. My shoulders also hurt sometimes, and I have difficulty finding wide straps on bras. My feet have no arch and I constantly fidget if I stand too long. I have custom insoles for my shoes and am trying to lose weight, but my hips, chest, and feet cannot change. My bowel movements are irregular, but a recent colonoscopy was good. The pain is sometimes sharp on the side and dull in the lower back, especially when standing. I can take 2 800mg Motrin, but it doesn't relieve the pain. Is there any relationship between my flat feet, large breasts, and backache?
