I have an MRI study showing significant disc degeneration and stenosis in the entire lumbar area with thickened cauda equina. I am retaining urine significantly (prostate is fine after extensive diagnostics) and experiencing sexual difficulties. Would you say surgery is necessary? Immediately?

I had a chest X-ray and noticed a line on the image. I'm unsure if it's inside or outside the lung and whether it could be dangerous. What should I do to determine the nature of this line, and is there a risk to my chest or thyroid gland from multiple X-rays?

For two nights, I've had a swollen left leg, especially around the ankle, which turns dark and swells, causing my foot to turn completely to the right and become extremely painful. I can't stand on it. How long have you had the swelling? About how large is the affected area? Is your foot painful or tender? Do you have any other medical history the doctor should know?

I have stabbing pains on the left side of my body, mainly in the chest. I have been diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy, acid reflux, and muscle pain, and have been taking various medications including Nozer and folic acid, but the pain persists. I also have diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, for which I take chronic medications. I had a Septo-rhinoplasty operation in October last year and am currently suffering from acute sinusitis. I am a smoker. What could be causing the pain and what tests should I undergo?
