I've been having very mushy bowels after a bout of constipation for a week. Sometimes there is a little blood on the toilet paper, but I think that is because I'm having to wipe so much after each mushy movement. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have intermittent aching in my left front mid thigh, aggravated by twisting or rotating the leg to relieve the achiness. It has awakened me for the last 3 nights and continues on and off throughout the day, disappearing for months and then returning. I am 57 years old, in good general health, and overweight by about 50 lbs, but this happened when I was thinner too. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My wife was recently diagnosed with herpes, and she believes I must have had an affair to have given it to her. I have never cheated on her and have no symptoms of the virus. How could she have contracted herpes, and what steps can we take to address this situation?

I was walking when suddenly I felt as if a bat hit the back of my leg (calf area). I had an ultrasound and it was determined that it was negative for blood clot. The pain has lessened but the calf is still tender, slightly swollen but not discolored. My ankle area started to swell a few days later and is slightly discolored but has no pain. What could be the cause of these symptoms and what should I do for recovery?

I have LPR (Laryngopharyngeal Reflux) and occasionally spit out small spots of blood. I have health anxiety and need reassurance that this is not something sinister, like anemia or internal bleeding, and that I should not worry about it. I had a colonoscopy in March which was fine. Please help put my mind at ease.
