How long will a Depo Medrol shot affect blood sugar? I received it yesterday for swollen and painful lymph glands due to allergies. My sugars are higher today.

I had rotator cuff surgery on Monday and have not had a bowel movement since Sunday. I am experiencing discomfort and have been trying to force the movement, but only getting tiny puffs of liquid and a few bits of feces. How long can I be like this before it becomes dangerous, and what can I do to alleviate this issue?

I had a bad reaction to Colchicine, taking only half a dose (0.3mg) over a month ago. I am concerned that it may have re-aggravated rhabdomyolysis, which was caused by statins. Could Colchicine do this? I am still recovering.

I had a DVT about 2 years ago. Recently, I cut my ankle while doing yard work, and it didn't heal properly, getting deeper over time. Despite good circulation, I have edema in that ankle and the wound is slow to heal, causing significant pain. What could this be, and what should I do?

I just had a bowel movement where the last part got stuck and I had to probe it out manually. I found stringy things in it, which I pulled out and they were about 4 inches and 1 inch long, light brownish yellow in color. I compared them to photos and they match tapeworm. I have none of the symptoms mentioned, other than abdominal pain, which is diagnosed as gallstones. What do you think this is? Should I take my saved stool to my doctor?
