I fell on my left side below my ribs 10 days ago and it's still very sore. Can you tell me what I have done and what I should do?

I have had a runny nose, sore throat, and extreme tiredness since Sunday. I think I may have had a low fever, although I didn't take it. I initially thought it was allergies and took Zyrtec, which didn't help. I've also been taking Sudafed and Theraflu, which have helped with congestion. This morning, I woke up with red, blotchy spots that look like hives on my right side, just above my right hip. Should I see a doctor, and am I contagious? I haven't been to work this week, but I'm concerned about my husband and daughter.

I had cancer in my left breast (invasive ductal carcinoma, tumor grade 8/9) and was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by a partial mastectomy, sentinel node biopsies, additional margin tissue removal, and a right breast reduction. Post-surgery, no residual invasive or in-situ carcinoma was found, and greater margins than 1.0 were taken. Will I still need chemotherapy after surgery, or just radiation? What are the treatment options for this situation?

I am still waiting for my feedback from the online answer. I don't have the first answer available as to what specialist to see about my vasculitis. Please help.

I have Crohn's disease, which has led to eye infections, rheumatoid arthritis, and now depression. I need coping skills for my emotional state and anxiety, as I am on disability and fear losing my benefits. I am a single mother and have thought about suicide at times. What can I do to manage my anxiety and depression without relying on medication, or do I need to consider depression medication?
