I am a 39-year-old healthy woman experiencing worsening leg numbness and tingling, especially when laying flat or sitting upright, which progresses to severe weakness. I have had MRIs of the brain, cervical, and thoracic spine without significant findings. What could be causing these symptoms and how should they be evaluated?

I have been experiencing skin pigmentation issues for a year, using hydrochloroquine and retinoic acid creams, which sometimes cause skin peeling and new spots. I previously used a cream containing benzoyl peroxide, which a dermatologist suggested might be causing a chemical burn. What should I do to address these skin issues?

I received my depo shot on Thursday and have noticed a lump that has increased in size and is sore to the touch on my upper thigh. The lump is red and has doubled in size since Monday morning. I'm currently on depo provera sub q birth control and have taken Tylenol for discomfort. What could this be and should I seek medical attention?

I've been experiencing strange urinary symptoms, including clear, slight, constant discharge despite negative STD tests and clear urinalysis. I've been using Flagyl since 5/10, but it doesn't seem to have helped much. The symptoms have been coming and going since 2/22, even disappearing in April but returning in early May. I was diagnosed with an E. faecalis infection in early March and went on penicillin twice. I had unprotected sex on 12/28 and 1/6. Could this be related to prostatitis or a UTI? What should I do next?
