I have developed tendinitis in both heels and severe head fog after taking an antibiotic from the cipro family for 2-3 days. I stopped the antibiotic. What are the chances of permanent damage, how long does tendinitis typically last, and how can I treat the head fog and overall feeling of being unwell?

I tore my frenulum during intercourse and now there is a small loose piece of skin that is not attached to the head anymore. There was a lot of blood, but now it seems to have a whiteish film building over the area. Should I get treatment, and if so, what kind of treatment is needed? How long should I avoid sexual activity, and do I need to see a special doctor for this?

I have been experiencing continuous fatigue and severe body aches, especially at night, since receiving a booster shot in December. I also had COVID-19 (omicron) shortly after the booster. The body aches are constant and sometimes painful to move, causing me to cancel outings. I am managing the pain with Aleve and also taking hydroxyzine 25mg. I am a 39-year-old with asthma and a third-grade teacher. My doctor has recommended blood work and a follow-up in three weeks. Could the vaccines have caused these symptoms?

My chest hurts between the breast, and I have tried Alka Seltzer, Famotidine, and Tylenol without relief. My blood pressure is 147/90, and the pain feels achy, similar to bad reflux. I am 58 years old and legally deaf. What can I do for relief?
