I have pain in the right side, lower back, and right glute. It seems nerve-related as certain movements cause it to spasm, which is very painful, and then it settles down to more of an ache. I am trying to take it easy and let it rest. Anything else I can do?

When I lay down in bed, my body feels almost achy, but the achiness goes away when I walk around. I recently started Zoloft about 5 weeks ago and not sure if it could have something to do with this. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate it?

I've been experiencing ear discomfort for 6 weeks, initially thought to be related to a wisdom tooth but continued after extraction. The discomfort is a dull pain that comes and goes, sometimes feeling like tickling and draining inside the ear without fluid release. There's no hearing loss and it doesn't interfere with daily activities. What could be causing this and why hasn't it resolved?

I am a 66-year-old woman with a lump in my labia majora that is sore when touched, feels like a soft mushy lump, and appears swollen on one side. I had a normal pap test in October 2020 and have no other medical issues. I am concerned about vulvar cancer. What should I do?

I have been experiencing urethral pain, urgency, difficulty initiating stream, and a very weak stream for four days. I was initially diagnosed with a UTI and given Cipro, which didn't help. I then had a CT scan that showed mild prostatomegaly, a 6 mm calcification in the midline prostate gland, and ill-defined stranding surrounding the seminal vesicle glands. I was put on a different antibiotic, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, but there has been no improvement. What could be causing these symptoms and how long should I expect them to continue before I should be really worried?
