I'm having severe pain in my hip area for the past 2-3 months. My physical therapist believes it's a muscle issue, but my primary care doctor has been unresponsive. Walking and lying down are both painful, and over-the-counter pain relievers like Alleve, Tylenol, and Advil are ineffective. The only medication that has worked for me in the past is Soma 500mg, but my current doctor prescribed Flexoril, which is useless. I also have a history of high blood pressure and anxiety. What can be done to alleviate this pain?

I had influenza last week and went for a deep tissue massage. Now, I'm experiencing severe stiffness, neck pain, and a headache that has lasted for a week. I've been prescribed Vicodin. How long will this last and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I am looking for a doctor who deals specifically with schizo-affective patients in Indianapolis, IN. My 53-year-old daughter, Stephanie, was diagnosed with this disease in her 20s and has had fairly good doctors up until the past year or so. She's been going to Behavior Corp (now called Aspire) and they no longer have doctors, but someone called a nurse practitioner. Since Stephanie has been going to her, she is having more problems with the voices and is suicidal much of the time. She's on Medicare as she can no longer hold a job, but I can help pay for appointments if we can just find someone to help her!

I am a male over 30 years old with minimal to no facial and body hair, including pubic hair. My testosterone levels are normal, but my cholesterol is high, and my Vitamin D is very low. I am taking supplements for these issues. Will correcting my Vitamin D deficiency and lowering my cholesterol help with hair growth, and what other tests should I consider?

I experienced a sudden onset of severe pain in my arm after dipping strawberries in chocolate, which developed into a lump above my elbow. Simultaneously, my vision worsened significantly, leading to a rapid growth of a cataract that I was previously aware of but not concerned about. Additionally, my retina appears detached and swollen. I have a history of shoulder injuries and am blind in one eye from birth. Could these issues be related, and could repairing my elbow and shoulder potentially affect the cataract's size?

I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes but haven't been taking medications. I recently lost 29 pounds and changed my diet. My blood sugar is still around 241 two hours after eating, and I've developed a mild rash of red spots. I feel good but am scared to see a doctor. What can I do for the red spots and what should I do about my diabetes?
