My husband has been experiencing pain in the very lowest part of his penis, just before it connects to the rest of his body. He has been on antibiotics (Jayln, UTA) for months with no relief. He has seen a urologist, all tests are good, and the penis is not bent during erection. What could be causing this pain, and what further steps should we take?

My common law had a hip replacement on both of her hips. The first one went fine, but the second one has had more problems with pain, including the discovery of an abscess growing in or on her leg (thigh). We need to know why this happened and what steps should be taken to address it.

I am experiencing more swelling in my knees and now my elbow area. My physical therapist doesn't think there has been any improvement, and my chiropractor says the joints are good but the stiffness is due to inflammation. I don't know when I will see a rheumatologist. Am I just going to keep getting stiffer and stiffer, and what should the next step be?

I was hospitalized in Japan twice this past summer with fever, weakness, high blood infection, leg swelling, and edema. I had intravenous antibiotics for 5 days and got better both times. Blood tests showed indications of liver disease. CT, MRI, and throat camera were all inconclusive. The doctor said it may be pre-liver cancer and scheduled another throat camera for December. I have alcohol cirrhosis but have not drunk for 11 years. The doctor questioned this, saying my liver should have regenerated to some extent but does not seem to have. There is a 5cm shadow in the MRI that cannot be identified as a tumor. Why are the findings so inconclusive?
