I took a Plan B pill within 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse, and my period is 4-5 days late. I had sex today and experienced bleeding, but I'm unsure if it's my period. Could this be related to the Plan B pill, and should I take a pregnancy test?

I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis on October 20th after a chest x-ray. I've been using an albuterol inhaler and amoxicillin, then switched to Doxycycline and Prednisone. I'm still coughing and experiencing a rattle in my exhale, occasional vomiting, headaches, and lack of appetite. I'm also feeling weak and short of breath with activity. I have a history of breast cancer and a MURSA infection, and recently had a reverse shoulder replacement. Should I continue with my current treatment or seek further medical attention?

I had chickenpox as a child and received the first shingles vaccination on 8/25/19. Three days ago, I started experiencing pain on the right side of my waist, which has since turned into skin sensitivity soreness spreading in a band-like pattern around my waist and upwards to just below the ribcage. There is no rash, and I've had no fevers or chills. I'm suspecting shingles, but could this be a prodrome of shingles, and should I wait for a rash to develop or seek medical advice now?

My partner has done 5 home pregnancy tests in the last week, all showing negative results, but the line keeps getting harder to see. She had some mucusy blood the day before her last period, and she is experiencing stomach pains, sore breasts, and occasional nausea. She is unsure of how many weeks she is and is not sure if she is pregnant. She takes Vitamin D and iron 2-3 times per week, and also takes valproate. This would be her 10th pregnancy with 7 children. When was her last period, did she have unprotected sex during ovulation, and when does she expect her next period?

I am one week post-op of ACDF (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion). I am experiencing more pain in my neck and arms than before the surgery. I cannot get comfortable. Is this normal, and what should I do?

I have lots of pea-sized hard lumps under my skin on my upper thighs. They don’t hurt, but is it something to worry about? They are on both thighs and I first noticed them about a month ago. I also have arthritis in both knees and experience severe pain in my lower legs with a burning sensation when walking.
