Headache during erection and ejaculation is refraining my sexual life. Please help.
Hello doctor,
One day while having regular sex just before and during ejaculation, I experienced a sudden severe headache. It was painful and lasted for about 10 minutes. It started as a dull ache from my neck and head and it build up just during ejaculation. Two days later, I tried to have sex again and the same experience but I managed to ejaculate. Yesterday, I tried to have sex again and the same experience and I did not ejaculate due to the pain.
I am so stressed that my erection is getting weaker. Now, I just have an erection and I am having mild headaches. I have never experienced a situation like this neither have I ever heard of a situation like this. I am 40 years old. Is there any solution for this? I am very worried and I am already thinking that this is the end of my sex life. Because of this Coronavirus, I am even afraid to go to the hospital. Please help.

I have muscle spasms in my cheeks due to Paroxetine. How long will it last?
Hi doctor,
After taking Paroxetine 20 mg for GAD, I had three side effects. The two side effects are diffculty in sleeping and lack of appetite. The two were manageable. The third one was a mild spasm in my cheeks. Sometimes, I have tightness and sometimes it seems to be relaxed. These side effects lasted for four years and then it got disappeared. After doing exercise, it got disappeared. Before a year, I started taking Paroxetine CR 25 mg under the guidance of my doctor. Everything was going fine for three months and after that, I started to take my pill at night. By the end of the month, I started feeling that my medicine has gone out of my body and I have to take it again.
The old side effects of the cheek were back. It affected my neck and I had muscle contractions and stiffness due to continuous contractions. After a month, my cheek spasms got disappeared. Throughout this period, my muscle contractions covered all my back and front neck muscles at the same time. Before three months, I had some smoothness in the muscles of the back of the neck and slight improvement in contractions. They were getting slow and mild. I also have cracking sounds in my back of the neck muscle due to stiffness.
Now, my spasm in the muscles is getting isolated. It is not visible and I can feel it. I want to know whether I have any defects or abnormal movements such as tics or jerking movements in my neck. These symptoms are getting improved slowly. How long will these spasms last? I do not want to change my medicines as I had a very disastrous experience. What to do?

I have a large bruise at the back of left thigh along with some smaller bruises. Please help.
Hello doctor,
I woke up a few days ago with a large bruise on the back of my left thigh. Unsure of how this happened, as I do not remember or have knowledge of hitting this area. I was drinking heavily the night before but do not believe this is a reason for the bruise. I have been working out a lot last week and possibly thought it could be a muscle bruise. I am more concerned with the shape and placement of the bruise and effective area of smaller bruises around the larger one. I have never got random bruises. I do suffer from anxiety and this is making it factor right about now. I am currently on Prozac.

Even after taking medicines, there is no improvement in pain radiating from hip to toe. Why?
Hi doctor,
My mother is 43 years old and she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis three months back. She has a serum uric acid level of 4.3 mg/dl and an RF IgM antibody of 132.1 units/ml. Her treatment was started by taking Defcort 6 mg for a week, Methotrexate 15 mg for three months, HCQS 200 daily after dinner for three months, and vitamin B12 shots weekly for a month followed by B12 shots every month. Even after taking medications, she does not have an improvement in her knee pain, ankle pain, and pain radiating from hip to toe. She took a pain killer Setolac ER 300 mg. But there is no improvement. Kindly suggest.
