I had a ganglion impar block for genital nerve pain and later experienced shocks in my perineum, followed by burning sensations in my butt and thighs, which I didn't have before the block. The block contained a steroid. Could the block have caused these issues?

Hello again, is this psoriasis? Only on one elbow. Not itchy or painful at all. I just discovered it because I had a mosquito on my arm. No peeling, no bleeding, no flaking. I am 30 years old. I think I had a scab there, but with my two kids and life, I can't clearly remember. It's just one elbow, my dominant one as well (R), and no where else.

I stopped taking my propranolol 80 mg and my left foot at the sock line keeps causing my leg by the sock band to swell or retain fluid. I started taking the propranolol again, but it still happens occasionally. I never had this issue until my doctor said it was fine to stop as long as my BP was okay, which it was. I was off it for around 10 to 15 days. Do you know why this is happening? Additionally, I have been on propranolol since 2013 or 2014 due to nerve damage in my right arm, but I experience many side effects like no energy, weight gain, and hives from Red Bull energy drinks. I'm worried and not trusting my doctor because I read that you have to be weaned off propranolol. Is it possible I'm becoming allergic to propranolol? How can I safely stop taking it if it's causing more damage than good?

I have symptoms of gallstones, but a CT scan shows nothing, and I have no gallbladder. The pain began three weeks ago, and I've only taken Panamax. I have a medical history of CAD, AF, and a pacer. What could be causing my pain, and what tests should I consider?
