My 39-year-old son had a total onychectomy on his left foot's third toe due to a fungal infection that couldn't be treated with laser or topical medications. He was verbally instructed to start Epson salt footbaths daily for 2 weeks and to apply an anti-fungal cream in 3 weeks, but received no written directives. Could you clarify the post-nail removal care more specifically?

I rode the bull yesterday and something popped between my groin area. I'm experiencing soreness when I stand up, put pressure on my right leg, or turn left or right on the bed. There's no swelling, but the pain returns when I walk. What could be the issue, and what should I do?

I have severe right hip pain that shoots down my leg to the front of my calf, causing difficulty walking and feeling like foot drop. I have to think about every step I take. Ibuprofen and Cyclobenzaprine work for a couple of hours, but I can only lay curled up on my left side to sleep, and it wakes me up screaming. There is no swelling. I also have a history of Ankylosing Spondylitis and some bulging disks in my lower back. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?
