My wife, who is 60 years old and in great shape, has experienced numbness and tingling in her right arm three times and in her right leg twice over the last two days. She has also lost feeling for periods of up to 30 minutes and has been complaining of constant headaches. She has not complained of any pain and has no significant medical history except for scarring from endometriosis in her youth. Should we be concerned and what should we do next?

I fell from a counter stool and bruised my back and tailbone. Should I use heat or ice to help with the inflammation? So far, I have only used heat, which helps immensely.

Can I use triamcinolone on a spot on my face and nose swelling, exacerbated by Crohn's disease welts and sores on my body? I have been dealing with this issue for years, and this is a new breakout that is worse every time. The breakout is all over my back, and my current medications are clearing it up. I just didn't know if it was safe to put some triamcinolone on the swelling and discoloration on the side of my nose. My medical history includes Crohn's disease, which has been in remission for some time, but seems to be limited to the skin now. I also have some lesions in my stomach.

I work in an office and someone left a rusty razor blade in my drawer, which cut my finger. The cut was very shallow and didn't bleed much. Am I at any risk of infection, particularly from HIV or hepatitis C? I'm extremely anxious and worried.
