My wife has had lower back pain (about 6 out of 10), chills with no fever, hot flashes during the night, and some nausea for 5 days. She is 49 years old with good health except for epilepsy. She took an old antibiotic for a suspected UTI but hasn't seen a doctor yet. She also had brain surgery in the past. What could be causing her symptoms and what should she do?

I have pain on the left side of my throat and my jaw feels like it's locking up. I've had this for about a week and have taken ibuprofen and allergy medicine. I often break out into hives. What could be causing this and what treatments can I take?

I am 52 years old and have been experiencing light spotting intermittently since September of last year, along with irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and difficulty losing weight. I had my tubes tied at 21 and am a 16-year breast cancer survivor. Could these symptoms indicate that I am going through menopause?

I have been diagnosed with drop foot and recently experienced a severe stabbing pain in my calf that lasted a minute. I took 2 Tylenol 1s, and the pain started 5 minutes ago. I have not seen a doctor about the pain. I have a history of lung cancer and take many psychiatric medications. What should I know about this pain?
