My fiancé is having sudden intense pain in his calf muscle after a soccer game. The pain is sudden and constant, described as achy and dull, and he is experiencing difficulty talking. He is 47 years old, not on any medications, but has taken Advil and aspirin. He had meniscus surgery on the same leg in February. What could be causing this pain and is medical attention required?

We took him to the emergency for treatment, but the doctor said he can't do surgery. How long has he had gangrene, and are you still using Clindamycin? Is there anything else in his medical history that the doctor should know?

I had a breast ultrasound last year due to a lump I felt, and recently went for a follow-up where they found a lesion in my breast and a larger lymph node. They performed a diagnostic mammogram, but the radiologist didn't provide a report and asked for the previous ultrasound images on CD. I'm anxious about the possibility of needing a biopsy or other tests. Should I be concerned, and if there were any serious issues, wouldn't they have informed me immediately?
