For the past few days, I have been experiencing a rapid urge to have a bowel movement (BM), accompanied by bloating and a mix of diarrhea and soft stool, with green BM color. I feel the need to go to the bathroom quickly and have an uncomfortable bloated feeling afterward. My diet has not changed, and I usually don't have this issue. I am nervous about what this could be. Additionally, I have a history of anal fissure and hemorrhoids, and recently experienced constipation and rectal bleeding. Is this condition contagious, and what foods or treatments would you recommend?

My wife's back went out and she is in severe pain when trying to move. The pain started earlier today and has been getting worse. It is sharp when moving. She has not experienced any numbness, muscle weakness, or increased fatigue. She is 67 years old and this is the first time her back went out. What can be done for her condition?

I have had a cough for 2 weeks, but for the last 3 days, it has been a wheeze when I try to cough, and I can't cough effectively. The cough is dry, and there is some tightness in my chest. I am 51 years old, have rheumatoid arthritis, and am on multiple medications. I have had 2 chest x-rays and experience shortness of breath. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

Last night I went out drinking with friends and today, after itching a bug bite hard, I got broken blood vessels. This doesn’t usually happen when I itch. Can the broken blood vessels be caused by alcohol consumption? Could it be related to my menstrual cycle or heat-induced itching?

What are all your symptoms? Are you currently using any medications? My symptoms include a bad skin infection, extreme pain in my hands, swelling of hands and feet, mostly in my fingers and wrists. The pain is stabbing and sharp, like being tortured every day, both hands. It used to be in the morning after sleeping but now it's all the time. I am a 63-year-old woman, and my medications are Tylenol with codeine for pain, anxiety medication, and sleeping tablets. This all started very slowly after receiving the COVID vaccine.
