My mom, who is 96.5 years old and has always been in excellent health, is experiencing symptoms such as unsteady gait, tendency to lean backwards, occasional hand tremors, and difficulty moving her feet. She has been seen by two neurologists, with conflicting diagnoses. The first neurologist and her internist believe she does not have Parkinson's Disease, while the second neurologist diagnosed her with it and prescribed levodopa. My mom and I were dissatisfied with the second neurologist's brief consultation. Her symptoms are worsening, and she also has severe osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. What should we do next, and what medications or treatments might be appropriate for her condition?

I think I sprained my big toe. I'm a diabetic and take 2000 mg of metformin, 30 units of fast-acting insulin, and 50 units of slow-acting insulin daily. My blood pressure is good, I have high cholesterol (I take Lovenstatin), I'm allergic to wasps and bees, and I'm currently on Chantix and Zoloft. What should I do for my sprained toe?

I have a question about treating varicoceles in the testicles. My symptoms include swollen testicular veins, and I've only used ibuprofen and Tylenol. I've seen a doctor about the swelling, but the doctor is on vacation and today the swelling is worse than usual. I also have a history of neck surgery. What can I do for the severe pain I'm experiencing?

My wife has been experiencing a pounding headache on the top of her head, temples, and base of the neck for 20 days. The pain intensifies at 6:00 p.m. and is accompanied by her left eye twitching. She works in a salon with exposure to chemicals like acetone. What could be causing this and what can be done to alleviate her symptoms?
