My wife, 77, has had a pain on the back side of her pelvis, right side only, about 5-6 inches down from the crest of her hip. It hurts when she walks and puts pressure on her leg, and also down the back of her leg to her knee. We think it is sciatica. She has had this for a couple of months with no recent accidents. Are there some exercises she should try before heading to the doctor? What kind of doctor should she see, a chiropractor (DC) or an orthopedist? Any other thoughts?

I'm a 21-year-old sexually active female using condoms for 8-9 months. I noticed bumps on my breasts around the areolas, my period is a day late, and I had unusual pelvic cramping and nausea. My last Pap smear was a year ago, and everything was normal. Should I be concerned, and what could be causing these symptoms?

I stabbed my thumb last night, and it feels numb. The bleeding stopped with pressure, and I have used polysporin and a bandage after cleaning with hydrogen peroxide. What should I do to treat the injury, and how long until I can return to normal activity?

I got hit in the eye yesterday with a rock from my weedwacker. I still see a circular black shadow in the corner of my vision that won’t go away. How long will this last?

I have a white hard thing inside the back of my mouth on the right side. It's been here for about 4 days now, and I haven't used any medication for this. What could it be and what should I do?
