I would like to consult about test results and symptoms for my mom, who is 78 years old. She has slightly elevated fasting sugar, high cholesterol, positive ANA, and various symptoms including feet swelling, pale skin, sensitivity to light, bruising, dizziness, pins and needles sensation in toes, pain and restriction in movement in her left arm, and arthritis in her knee. She is off blood pressure medication and takes supplements including omega 3, turmeric, Cinnachroma, and Nervala. What do these results and symptoms indicate, and what further tests or actions should be taken?

I was wondering about weight reduction with Ozempic. What are all your symptoms? Are you currently using any medications? What's your age and gender? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I went to the dentist last week and they saw pus coming out of my wisdom tooth and prescribed antibiotics to pull the tooth. Will antibiotics fix the issue? Additionally, I have been experiencing stiffness and weird feeling in my legs. Is this related to the infection? Also, my legs are better but my hip and stomach on the right side hurt when I move. Do I use heat or cold for this pain? Is the pain more from walking in heels or from the infection?

I've been experiencing a sensation like pins or needles on the top and sometimes the sides of my head about four times a week for over a year. I had a CAT scan in May which was fine, and I have hypothyroidism and take hydrazaline for hypertension. What could this sensation be and is there a treatment to alleviate the discomfort?

I have yellow or brown stool that sometimes floats for a few seconds then sinks, along with constant dull upper abdominal pain between my breastbone and belly button. My lab work and imaging were normal. What could be wrong with me?

I have had an earache for 2 hours. I am 18 years old and not using any medications. There is no pressing pain, and I have not tried anything yet. Do you have any recommendations for a hotel room remedy for earache?
