My ball of foot, toes, and heel are inflamed, red, and ache when I walk. The pain started two weeks ago and is constant. I am not managing the pain with any medications and I am 67 years old. Are these symptoms indicative of plantar fasciitis, and what treatments are recommended?

I have 2 ulcers that have been present for 3 to 4 months. They are very constant, do not hurt, and I am not using any medications. The ulcers have been stable. I am 42 years old and have no other medical history that might be relevant. The ulcers are located 'down below' and I am female. I have tried antifungal cream without success. What could these ulcers be and what should I do?

I was diagnosed with COVID on September 27th. Most symptoms have eased, but I started coughing on the 29th and had a coughing fit all night. The cough is consistent, productive with small amounts of beige-colored mucus, and accompanied by a tight chest and heavy feeling. I'm using Advair, Salbutamol, Lodalis for Crohnâs, Rabeprazole, Dicetol, Mesavant, Tylenol Extra Strength, Vicks, Cepacol lozenges, and hot beverages. I have a history of pneumonia in 2018, asthma, and colitis/Crohnâs. What additional steps can I take to manage my symptoms?

I have a lump in my collarbone area that is not visible above the skin, hardish, slippery, and keeps rolling away from me. Sometimes I feel it tucked in behind the collarbone, sometimes on the collarbone, and sometimes it feels like it rolls away deep under the skin. I have a doctor's appointment in three weeks to review some test results. Is it okay to wait, or should I move up my appointment?

I have been experiencing dull pain in my upper left abdomen for the past three months, which worsens when I sit, laugh, or move. The pain radiates to my back and is accompanied by heaviness. I also experience heart palpitations and shortness of breath occasionally. I have taken antiacid medications without relief. What could be causing this pain, and what tests should I undergo for a proper diagnosis?

My husband had a liver biopsy, which was not cancerous. However, a few days later, he experienced severe pain and was rushed to the hospital where they found he had a bleed in the liver. They stopped the bleeding, but he is still in awful pain around his back. He has been in pain since the bleeding was stopped a week ago. He is 83 years old, has a pacemaker, and has had two heart attacks. What could be causing his pain, and what should be done about it?
