I have been seeing the same spine doctor for my 4 bulging discs. During my recent appointment, they asked for a urinalysis (UA) without explaining why. I am not in a pain clinic. Can they do that, and why might they have requested a UA?

I am 24 years old, 6'5" and 170 lbs. I have been experiencing trouble getting and maintaining an erection recently. I can achieve one by myself but it takes a long time, and with my partner, it is very soft and sometimes never achieves one. My heart rate increases during sex, which seems to cause my erection to go away. My cholesterol and blood pressure are good. How can I fix this?

If someone has reached a point with Lyme disease where they are experiencing muscular atrophy, neurological problems, and impairment of speech, is there treatment that can help restore some quality of life? The patient had two bullseye rashes but did not treat with antibiotics initially and has progressively worsened over two years, now being in a wheelchair. He is mentally strong and alert but can hardly speak, and his depression stems from frustration. What steps should be taken for his treatment?
