I've noticed a bruise in my left armpit and there's some numbness happening there too. My arm's been pretty painful, especially around the bicep and upper arm. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I've been feeling this pain for the past 2 days, and there's this weird pinching or stinging sensation that's really bothering me. It's kind of agonizing, and I'm curious why this is happening. No injection has ever given me such an odd feeling before. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

For almost two weeks now, I've been having trouble with my balance. It's making it hard for me to work. Whenever I move, I feel like my head gets heavy or light, and sometimes it's even like everything's spinning. Walking is really tough because I can't stay steady. I went to see an ENT doctor and took the medication they gave me for five days, but nothing's changed. How long does it usually take for these symptoms to go away, or do you think it could be something more than an ENT issue? I'm worried because this is affecting my job too. What should I do next?

Question

Lately, I've been experiencing this annoying tingling and numbness in my left hand and leg. It's mostly when I'm sitting or trying to sleep, and it's accompanied by some lower back pain. Walking seems to alleviate it, but the discomfort kicks back in when I'm stationary. It's getting pretty irritating, so I was wondering if you could suggest what I might do to ease this. Any medicine ideas or other ways to find some relief?

Unlike other neurological disorders, conversion disorder does not have a clear organic cause, making it a unique intersection between mental and physical health.
