Should I Worry About Shoulder Pain and Scratches?

I’m really anxious about something that happened recently and wanted to get your thoughts. So, I went to see a doctor today because I’ve been dealing with some pain in my shoulders. He said it’s due to a deformity in my spine and that it should go away in a few days. The pain is sharp, burning, and kind of aches—it’s definitely worse than what I’ve felt before, but he didn’t seem too concerned. Here’s where I’m stuck: I noticed some scratches on my shoulders, but the doctor didn’t seem to pay much attention to them. When I talked to my dad about it later, he noticed the scratches right away, which freaked me out a bit. The doctor did say that I was vaccinated against rabies a year ago and also for other infectious diseases, so I should be protected, but my mind keeps going to worst-case scenarios. I’ve also been feeling nauseous, but the doctor thinks it’s just nerves. I got super anxious after the whole thing, and now I can’t get it out of my head. I barely slept last night because I’m so worried. I even asked my friends who were there, and they said it didn’t look like anything bit me—just that something flew by. I know I’m probably overthinking this, but should I be worried, or is this just my anxiety getting the best of me? Would appreciate any advice you can give! Thanks!

The pain you're experiencing could be a consequence of the spine problem your doctor pointed out. Such medical problems may be accompanied with sharp, burning, and aching pain. Regarding the scratches, you are safe since you have been vaccinated against rabies and other diseases. Anxiety can be the reason for your nausea, however, if the nausea continues, you should better monitor it. Your first option is to call your orthopedist for a follow-up appointment if the pain or symptoms worsen.

I have a ingrowing nail. Just an hour ago i feel my feet like weird and my leg feels lime a tendon has been pulled

Female | 44

It looks like you may have an ingrown toenail. When a toenail grows into the skin instead of over it, it can cause pain, redness, and swelling. Sometimes, it can make your whole foot feel funny or like a tendon is pulled. To help with this, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently raise the nail. If it’s really sore, see a podiatrist for help.
