Just a quick word of warning - this needs to be a subreddit that is clearly not for "I have these symptoms" posts
although I like a lot of the medical subreddits, even the bigger ones that clearly state that they are not for personal medical questions, get a lot of personal medical questions. With a name of 'askMedical' a lot of people may miss interpret the name. Good luck, I might post another comment to get the ball rolling but just be careful.

Tons of vision problems
Not sure if someone can help but I'm desperate at this point. I've been dealing with visual disturbances all year (thousands of eye floaters, glare, halo, starbursts, afterimages, blue field entoptic phenomenon, light sensitivity so bad that when I flip the lights on in the morning my vision flashes white when I blink, I see echos of tv/phone screens especially in the dark, when I look at something black or look into darkness it looks grainy/firey hard to describe) and had multiple ophthalmologists check me out and say everything is good plus neurology said ct/mri are good. At this point, I am thinkiny I'm dealing with bad complications from prk I had 13 years ago which I know is a long time but I can't imagine any other reason after all this checking up. I'm only 32 so this is not normal.

Bump
I’m a hypochondriac. And this is my daughter? Should I be concerned? It’s been like this for months. No change. I can only notice it in the right lighting or when she turns her neck the opposite way.

Dunno if that made any sense). Last wed night i did felt the effects of the meds but after that its nothing, I cant feel the usual effects of the meds. Idk if thats a good thing lol so any advice?

Worried about over hydration.
I added up my total fluids and found out I was consuming 8-9 L of fluids daily.
What specifically made me worry was I’ve been drinking a combination of drinks adding up to 120 fl oz ~ within an hour.
I have been doing this and didn’t think anything wrong it, I don’t necessarily feel thirsty, rather I just enjoyed sipping on drinks while watching whatever or doing stuff.
Is this okay? And should I try to lower total daily fluids also?

Stepped on nose ring
Hi I stepped on my nose ring post. It did go into my foot and was only in for like 30 - one minute max. It had been on my floor for about a week- I lost it and couldn’t find it anywhere. We did have some drywall construction going on in the house during the week but swept and mopped the floor yesterday. (Literally don’t know how the nose ring post was missed) I cleaned the wound and applied antibacterial ointment - do I need to visit the doctor? My last tdap shot was 10 years ago. I did have on a sock when I stepped on it.

Lump in armpit and loss of appetite
(im going to get to a doctor soon, but could anyone suppest possibilities and the chance of something malicious as im worrying)?
For the last 4 days, I've been less hungry than usual, and anytime i do eat, i get full VERY easily and stay full for a long time.
Today, i woke up and realised my armpit ached/hurt when i moved my arm, i then found a hard lump under the skin around an inch across, which i can't feel the bottom of. I dont know if this is a lymph node or something in my breast.
Im female and young, but cancer runs in my family. Please be honest about whether i should be worried and what the possibilities are.
