My husband has a recent red, blanching rash-like appearance on bilateral posterior elbows, accompanied by a 'deep' numbness to light touch in the affected areas, which persists even at rest. He has had Type I Diabetes Mellitus for over 30 years. The rash started about 2 weeks ago and is not itchy. There is also a palpable 'bead-like' spot and a hard 'swelling' band of tissue at one elbow. What could be causing these symptoms, and what type of doctor should we consult?

I have a thrombosed hemorrhoid that doctors said they could not remove. It is painful and has been two weeks now. Why can’t they remove it, and what if it doesn’t go away?

I've been experiencing unusual sensations including 'electric shock'-like feelings in various parts of my body, pressure in my left arm described as 'clogged veins', and a constant dull headache for about a week. I am a 23-year-old female taking Celexa and Sprintec birth control. The symptoms started on January 31st, before I began taking Celexa. I'm unsure if these symptoms are related to anxiety, as I have an anxiety disorder but the sensations have persisted longer than expected. Additionally, my back has started feeling sore near my shoulder blades. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do next?
