I have a bump on my penis that resembles a tiny pimple. It is located in the middle of my shaft, painless, flesh-colored, and I suspect two more might be popping up. This just recently happened, and I have had it for 4 days now. From pictures I've seen, it resembles some pictures of molluscum contagiosum. What could this be, and what should I do?

I have a very painful but small lump on the front of my right hip, which feels like cartilage and causes strong jolts of pain when pressed or bumped. There is also shooting pain through my thighs and lower back, frequent hip popping/cracking, and an unsettling sensation of my hip potentially popping out of the socket. I've been advised to stretch and rub the area, but this often aggravates the pain. I'm seeking ideas about what this condition could be and home measures to alleviate it, as I don't have health insurance and can't afford to visit a doctor.

I accidentally took two 30mg temazepam doses, one at 5:30 pm and another at 10:30 pm. I've been on temazepam for at least two years now. Will I be okay, and is there anything else I should do?

I am 54 years old and have been unable to close four fingers on my left hand for several months. I also have trouble lifting my left shoulder above chin level and experience pain and tingling in my left hand when trying to close my fingers. Additionally, I have had issues with my biceps and triceps muscles. I have seen a massage therapist but need further advice.

I am 33 years old and have been experiencing persistent gastrointestinal issues, including discomfort, cramping, and pain in my lower abdomen, especially after bowel movements and when there is pressure on the area. These symptoms seem to occur in cycles, with periods of minimal issues followed by flare-ups. I am concerned about the possibility of colon cancer, despite my doctor suggesting it is likely IBS or IBD. Can scar tissue from previous surgeries, such as gallbladder and appendix removal, contribute to these symptoms? Should I be concerned about colon cancer at my age, and how can I manage my anxiety about this?

I have a GGT level of 396, a fatty liver diagnosis from my 30s, a history of excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, and recently quit both. I also have diabetes with an A1C of 6.4 and back pain on my right side. What could be the cause of my elevated GGT and other liver enzyme levels, and what should I do to address this?
