I have been experiencing knee pain, particularly in my left knee, which started with occasional giving way and progressed to tenderness and swelling after a gym class. Despite resting and trying physical therapy, the pain persists, and I'm unable to resume my usual activities like running and playing tennis.

I have a small lump on my anus that is not painful, has no blood in stool or on toilet paper, and no mucus discharge. I noticed it one week ago and it was sore for about 24 hours. My bowel movements have become irregular since I started taking supplements. Should I be concerned?
