I have been experiencing knee and hip pain for about three weeks, accompanied by swelling, warmth to the touch, and occasional popping sounds. I had an X-ray, but it showed nothing abnormal. I also have three bulging discs in my back, and the pain radiates from my back to my knee, feeling like a band around my calf. Additionally, I have a burning sensation in my hand, which my doctor dismissed as a trigger point. What could be causing these symptoms, and what treatments or further evaluations should I consider?

I have neck pain. How do I know if it’s serious and not from veins closing leading to stroke?

I have stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting that started last night. The pain is sharp and localized to my middle upper abdomen. I also experienced bloating but no changes in stool. I've had some sweating spells but no fever. I wonder if I ate some bad food, as the symptoms started right after. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have a white lump on my heel that I’m concerned is a wart. It has been present for about a month and is getting worse, with another small lump forming beside it. The lump is not itchy, and I am not using any medications. I am 21 years old and have no other medical conditions or allergies. What could this be, and how should it be treated?

I was waiting in a long line for 15 minutes at a pharmacy. Some people didn't have masks on, but I had my N95 mask on. Am I safe?
