I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and a parathyroid problem. My doctor wants me to take the Prolia shot. I'm 53 and hesitant to take it because I'm reading that it might make my bones weaker and more prone to breaking after I stop using it. My bone density score is -2.7. Do I really need it, and is there anything else that could replace these shots?

Why do I get a burning sensation in the back of my nasal passageway right where it meets the throat, only on my right side, on and off for several months, especially after being up for a few hours, with no known allergies and no other significant medical history?

I have severe COPD, allergies, and GERD. My allergy symptoms are triggered by weather changes and cats, making my COPD and GERD worse. I'm currently out of my COPD preventer medication and experiencing difficulty breathing and severe itching. What should I do?

Could this be herpes? I engaged in mutual masturbation on December 4, 2022, and experienced symptoms such as burning urination, inflamed urethra, groin and pubic itchiness, hemorrhoids, and armpit lymph nodes. I tested negative for STIs and UTI but still had symptoms. Could this be due to a bacterial infection, prostatitis, epididymitis, bladder spasms, anxiety, or something else?

I have been on Lexapro for 5 weeks, starting at 5mg and recently increasing to 7.5mg. I experienced severe side effects initially and now have dull abdominal pain that moves from left to middle to right side randomly. I also have morning anxiety again after the dosage increase. I am a 36-year-old female with GAD. Should I be concerned about these symptoms and what should I do?
