For the past couple days, I've had a constant urge to have a bowel movement or pass gas, but nothing comes out. My stomach has been bothering me and seems upset and irritable. I also have an increased urge to urinate more frequently, and today I noticed mild weakness in my left leg. I'm 28 and overweight. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I see a doctor soon?

I have a swollen lymph node on the side of my neck that has been there for at least 4 months without pain, and another one on my throat below my Adam's apple that just appeared a day or two ago and is painful. Even though my family has a history of cancer, should I be worried about anything? Will the painful one on my throat go away soon, and should I be fine to continue with my sports practices?

My son was involved in two car accidents, one in March and another in September, resulting in neck and shoulder pain. An MRI confirmed syringomyelia, and he has an upcoming appointment with a Neurosurgeon. He is also scheduled to go to jail next Friday for a 4-year term. Will any additional trauma in jail aggravate his condition, and should we ask the court for a different sentencing, such as house arrest?
