57. My fingers and toes are aching
My fingers and toes are aching. Besides, I have knee pain. What doctor should I see?
An orthopedist.
I also feel pain in the lungs and other internal organs.
Visit an internist. I know a good one, but she is pregnant and on maternity leave now.
In addition, I have nightmares. I dream that a hospital nurse drops poison on my tongue by mistake. This causes throat spasm!
That is likely a mental problem. Does anyone get on your nerves in reality?
Yeah, poisonous snakes do. They are hard of hearing but see well up close. Their venom can cause shock!
There are no venomous snakes in our area. Start with consulting a psychiatrist!
