Hi BeachBug,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you are having issues importing photos from your iPhone on to your Windows PC, you may find the following article helpful. Note, however, the following:
After you import your photos from your iOS device to your computer, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device. You can't import photos or videos synced from iTunes. You can only import photos and videos from the Camera Roll on your device.

This is explained a bit more clearly in this article on syncing photos from your computer back to your iOS device:
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.
