A few years ago, I took a pharmacy tech class and a teacher who is a pharmacist said I had AIDS because I had a stink smell. I had an HIV test and a Western Blot test, both of which were negative. Is it true for her to say this?

If my foot is slightly warmer than the other one and maybe slightly swollen, could this be deep vein thrombosis (DVT)? It's not tender or very red. I am having a recurring fear that I have DVT even though my calf isn't swollen. It hurts and has hurt for 6-8 weeks. But I got a Doppler ultrasound and that was normal. But now my foot looks slightly swollen and might be slightly warmer.

I am 64 years old and have a difficult time with healing after surgery. I have a frayed Achilles tendon that has been injured twice, once about 4 years ago and again 2 years ago. I have not had surgery yet but it has been suggested. I am concerned about the success of the surgery, the recovery process, and whether it would be beneficial to try a cortisone shot first. Additionally, my home has about 20 stairs I have to navigate, which adds to my concerns about recovery.
