I'm really worried about this report I got. It says there's a swelling on the dorsum of my left hand, with lots of polymorphs and macrophages, along with some debris. The report mentions a negative result for acid-fast bacilli, and recommends a PCR test for M. tuberculosis and a culture and sensitivity test. I'm not sure what all of this means or what I should do next. Could you help me understand the situation and what the best steps are to take from here? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.

View allI've been having this really sharp stabbing pain in my right chest, and it's been going on for a year now. I've had a breast ultrasound, an X-ray, an echo, and an MRI of the ribs, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this pain, and how should I proceed from here? It's starting to worry me.

My mom has ortho arthritis and the doctor mentioned injections as an alternative to knee replacement. Are these injections actually effective and do they come with any side effects? I'm worried about how safe they are for her.
Injections like corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections can be effective alternatives to knee replacement for some individuals with osteoarthritis, providing temporary pain relief and potentially delaying the need for surgery. However, they may not be a long-term solution, and side effects can occur, particularly with repeated injections.

I'm really worried about this weakness and leg pain I've been experiencing. I've been taking Medrol for my swollen lymph nodes in the chest, with doses starting at 12mg, then 8mg, and now 4mg for about a week each. But just a couple of days before I was supposed to finish the 4mg dose, I suddenly started feeling extremely weak and my legs are in so much pain. It's been like this since. Any idea what might be going on?
