I take Xarelto 20 mg for my Afib and recently hit the right front of my head pretty hard. I was told to be cautious if I bump my head. Should I be concerned about this?

If I have a boil on the inner lips of the vagina, should I go to the ER or urgent care? I've had it for about 2 weeks and am currently using metronidazole. I've also recently been getting back injections for back pain.

In New Jersey, should a patient be entitled to a two-year contact lens prescription if there is no medical reason suggesting otherwise, despite the doctor's office policy of issuing one-year prescriptions?

Hi, I have two parents in a rest home that I have not been able to visit now that we are in Level 2 as I keep getting a very mild sore throat on and off over the past week. I was unable to attend work for the same reason and was asked to get Covid tested which I did. The results were negative. Over the past week I have had only 3 occasions of having this very mild throat issue, this morning, Thurs night and last Sunday night. How long do I keep having to stay home in my bubble when it comes and goes like this? I work in Early Childhood so attending work is also out. Thanks for any guidance you can give me.

I have a throbbing light pain in my left arm that radiates from my left shoulder halfway down my arm. It's a pulsating kind of throb and has been going on for a few hours. I took 2 nitros pills, but they had no effect. I have a history of a stint 3 years ago, my cholesterol is 200, and I had one heart attack. My blood work is great, and my blood pressure is great without medication. I have no tightness or heaviness in the chest, and the pain is not in my neck or jaw. I also have a history of cervical problems. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

Blood work is normal. How long will a person start getting bouts of diarrhea if they had carcinoid? I have no diarrhea, no stomach pain, no wheezing, but have been experiencing flushing for 4 weeks now. A dermatologist thinks it's rosacea. I've had two colonoscopies and an endoscopy, and nothing was found except for 5 non-cancerous polyps. I'm redoing my Hiaa this weekend. Should I be worried, Dr. Basu?
