My elderly mother, 88, broke 2 ribs in a fall and is in a lot of pain. She is currently receiving extra strength Tylenol and lidocaine patches during the day, but the nursing home is hesitant to give her opioids due to potential confusion and unsteadiness. What other pain management options are available, and could tramadol be a suitable alternative?

I had a pneumonia shot in January of this year. Since then, I have had pneumonia four times. I just got out of the hospital yesterday with that diagnosis. What can cause such frequent episodes? I have psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia but no other autoimmune disorders. Thanks in advance.

I have a rash on my torso that doesn't itch and is spreading. It has been present for 4 days. I was prescribed a steroid cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I have new spots appearing every day. I think it might be pityriasis rosea because I was sick a week before the rash appeared. I have pictures of the rash. Is there anything else I should know or do?
