I have bilateral pain in the deltoid region, starting with my right side and then affecting my left. The pain is sharp, deep, and stabbing, and it has increased in longevity and intensity over time. I use computers at work, and sometimes I experience tingling in my fingers. I am a 54-year-old female with a medical history of hereditary spherocytosis and a splenectomy at age 5. I have been suffering from this pain for about 8 weeks and have seen doctors, but physical therapy has worsened my symptoms. What could be causing this pain, and what treatments are recommended?

My stream flow has been restricted, and I pee more often. I take .4 mg of Tamsulosin. Can I suggest anything else to my doctor?

My mom had a brain hemorrhage in December 2021 and has been in hospice care since. She is bed-prone, not communicative, and her cognitive functions are impaired. She occasionally opens her eyes and moves her arms and legs. Recently, she responded 'good' when asked how she feels. What are her chances of regaining the ability to speak and recognize me?

I'm in desperate need of Adderall right now. I've taken it before for the last four days without it, which is the first time in years, and I'm about to start an intense course of work. How have you been sleeping? Any changes in appetite? Is there anything else in your medical history the Psychologist should know?
