My neck makes a cracking sound when I turn it, and I have shooting pain to my shoulder, especially at night, which also runs down to my hand. Do I see a rheumatologist or an orthopedic?

What type of blood tests should I get for fluid or gas on the outside of my gallbladder, which showed up in an MRI, and some discomfort in the gallbladder area and rib? I am taking natural herb products for my gallbladder and liver.

My husband takes 850mg of Glucophage for type 2 diabetes, and his blood sugar is 209, 30 minutes after eating. Should he take extra Glucophage? Additionally, I am on Seroquel and notice that increasing the dose dramatically increases my blood sugar. I am concerned about the long-term effects of Seroquel on my blood sugar levels.

My wife has been an undiagnosed diabetic until about 10 years ago. About 3 years ago, she finally went to the MD. The diagnosis was made but by now she has major problems. She is legally blind. Treatment has been aggressive but not successful. She has been in the hospital for one and is being treated for pneumonia and congestive heart failure which have apparently been corrected. She was scheduled for an ocular procedure. She was given 4 eye drops (Alphagen, Xalatan, Azopt & Istalol) and Diamox. She is currently experiencing illusions (talking to people not in the room, our dog, etc.). She is seeing a nephrologist, cardiologist, neurologist plus her primary care MD. How can we be of assistance?

I am looking for a surgeon who performs VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation) surgery for major depression. I have been dealing with this condition for over 20 years and have tried medication and ECT. I live in Worcester, Massachusetts and have medical insurance. Can you recommend a neurologist or a facility in my area?

I have several spots on my penis and scrotum that are somewhat itchy and causing some pain or discomfort. It appeared about a week ago after masturbating. Could this be an STD like warts, or something else?
