I have a prolapsed bladder. Can this be pushing on my rectal wall enough to cause me to be unable to poop? I have had the prolapsed bladder for about 10 or 15 years, but it became much worse about 6 months ago. I haven't had medication for it, but my gynecologist has tried pessaries numerous times, which I cannot keep in. I have been constipated or unable to pass anything except very little or lots of gas for about 3 weeks. I am 78 years old and have high blood pressure, early-onset Parkinson’s, and a little dementia associated with it.

I experienced an episode where my body wouldn't stop twitching for 20-30 minutes last night. Today my head still twitches every now and then. I'm on birth control and I am 19 years old. What should I do?

I’m concerned about smelling cooking toast and nothing is cooking. It just started. I also cut my heel with my shoes, not a blister but a rub mark, and now I’m worried about catching an infection. What could these symptoms indicate, and should I be concerned about brain issues, strokes, amoebas, or infections from pool water or public restroom exposure?

I have severe spinal stenosis and am planning to have surgery. I am currently in pain and need medication, but I am allergic to meloxicam and Aleve, and ibuprofen upsets my stomach. I am looking for a pain medication that contains aspirin, Tylenol, or possibly Vicodin (hydrocodone). Can you help me?
