I was using Cipralex 20mg, then my doctor advised me to lower the dose to 15mg, then 10mg, then 5mg (and eventually stop it). After lowering the dose, I noticed some problems: pain in my lower back and a loss of feeling during orgasm when I masturbate. I'm currently taking 5mg and have had this problem for about a month. Can you help me with that? Is this from lowering the dose? Additionally, I went for a general check-up and found my SGPT level to be 90. Is this from Cipralex? I'm also taking multivitamins, vitamin D, and Glucosamine MSM. Is this risky? What should I do?

I want someone to interpret my rotator cuff MRI results. I am in a lot of pain and cannot see a doctor for another week. I have already tried physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and a steroid shot from an orthopedic surgeon. I have the MRI images on a CD but no radiologist's report. How can I get an interpretation of my MRI results?

I spilled boiling water on my stomach and hand, resulting in what appears to be a second-degree burn with bright red skin, blisters, and broken skin. The burn feels extremely painful even after running it under cold water, and I don't have any medication. Is this normal, and what should I do?

I had a hysterectomy and then developed obstructive uropathy and hydronephrosis of the left kidney. I had a stent put in and was recently discharged from the hospital. I noticed my HGBg/DL is 9.1 and my iron McGee/DL level is <19. I have hypertension and am on lisinopril/hctz. What should I know about my blood levels and how can I manage them?

I have strep pharyngitis and was given a shot of penicillin two days ago. I've been experiencing symptoms such as spitting thick, clear, and foamy phlegm, and a temperature around 99.7 Fahrenheit. I also have small blisters and am wondering if salt water rinses would help, if it's okay to take ibuprofen with a steroid shot, and how often I should do the rinses.
