I was bitten by a wasp three days ago on my elbow and hand. There is a lot of itching, but no swelling or fever. Will it heal on its own, or is there any concern?

For nearly a year, I have been experiencing a tingling sensation in the left side of my face and sometimes near my wrist, occurring about 2-3 times a month. I have no other symptoms and feel great. I have a history of migraines with aura. Could this be hormone-related, especially around my period, or could it be a silent migraine? I'm concerned it might be multiple sclerosis (MS).

I noticed a small blister on the top of my foot last night, which has grown larger but is not painful. I had cellulitis and lymphangitis last year, and I'm concerned about getting it again. The blister is not itchy, and I walk and run my dog in parks daily, so there's a possibility of exposure to poison ivy or sumac. What could this blister be, and should I be concerned?

Can you have aplastic anemia with no symptoms, just low blood count? Also, is there an age limit for stem cell/bone marrow transplants?

I take blood pressure medications for high blood pressure. After moving mattresses and walking 4 miles, my blood pressure was 98/61, which is lower than my usual morning reading of 138/78. Is this a cause for concern regarding my heart health? I experienced no chest pains, just a bit of tiredness.

I had a full knee replacement last June, but my knee flexion is only about 100 degrees. I suspect the implant might be too large and wonder if this is limiting my movement. What can be done to improve my flexion, and is further surgery necessary?
