I had a fall on my left knee on cobblestone ground almost 6 weeks ago. I have sharp pain in the center of my kneecap, it still looks swollen compared to my right knee, and I have trouble bending my knee for activities like climbing stairs. X-rays showed no break, and an MRI revealed bruising to the soft tissue and an old tear. My GP hasn't prescribed any further treatment unless I want to see an orthopedic surgeon. I can't do my normal daily walking or yoga, and even gentle touches to the kneecap cause pain. What further treatment options do I have?

I had bronchitis last month and was treated with arithromiacin. I felt better after a week, but now I have a pounding headache, vomiting, stiff all over, hot flashes, nausea, and a dull headache. I've had the headache all day and took 3 Advil. I don't have insurance and haven't seen a doctor. I'm 53, was treated for migraines before menopause, and have arthritis, but no meds for 5 years. I also had diarrhea this morning and constant sweats then chills. I've had two parasites over the last 20 years, Cryptosporidiosis. Is it possible I have it again? Should I stay home from work while my body is fighting this?

My wife is home in bed with stage 4 cancer, which has spread to her lungs, bones, and brain. She is on a catheter, and her urine output has turned cloudy and frothy over the last 24 hours with no particular odor. Does this warrant a call to her on-call doctor?
