My 14-year-old daughter has been experiencing various symptoms including canker sores in her mouth, leg pain described as achy spasms lasting 5-10 seconds every 10-15 minutes, fatigue, feeling cold, and chest discomfort, especially during inhalation and sometimes exhalation. She has been using a heating pad, taking Motrin, gargling salt water, drinking lots of water and Gatorade. What should we do next?

I'm experiencing severe knee pain and have tried Voltaren without relief. I'm a 65-year-old cancer/chemo patient. What can I do for pain relief and could this be the beginning of arthritis?

I was diagnosed with Ocular Rosacea about two months ago. The ophthalmologist put me on a treatment plan that included Restasis, serum tear drops, Aveeno spray to clean my lashes, and Lotemax with an antibiotic. I stopped using the Lotemax and antibiotic due to concerns about potential glaucoma from the steroids. My lower eyelids are swollen and have been for several weeks, though they improved while on Lotemax. The ophthalmologist suggested I might have a thyroid issue. My thyroid blood work showed TSH at 2.68 and Thyroid Free at 0.57 (US results). I am worried about having Graves Disease or dermamyositis. My face has a reddened appearance on my cheeks and the sides of my face, but it's not very bright red like typical Rosacea. Can you share your thoughts on this matter?
