I had sex a week and a half ago, and since then, I have had a bloated stomach, extreme tiredness, mood swings, frequent crying, and bad indigestion. Could I be pregnant, even though I had sex a day after my period?

I have a ruptured Posterior Tibial Tendon in my right foot, 2 cm retracted. I'm getting an Arizona brace temporarily. I damaged this tendon two years ago and again recently. My doctor says I have moderately loose ankles. I've seen discussions about replacing this tendon with another tendon or a cadaver tendon. Would a cadaver tendon suffice? Will it be near the same strength as the original? Will I need a heel reposition with a screw to prevent further damage?

I just started a new job about 2 and a half weeks ago and work in the stock room. Last week, I started experiencing chest and lower abdominal pains. Is this related to stress from the new job, or could it be something more serious?

I had my last period on October 27 and had intercourse on November 4 and 20. I took several pregnancy tests, all of which were negative, but I am 5 days late for my period. My menstrual cycles have been irregular, ranging from 24 to 34 days. What could be causing my delayed period, and should I take another pregnancy test?

I have two large, hard, and painful cysts, one in my left butt cheek and one on my right knee, both shaped like a thumb. The one in my butt cheek became infected, causing high fever and vomiting, and has been lanced twice without improvement. I don't have insurance and have already spent a lot on doctor visits without a definitive diagnosis. What could these cysts be, and what can I do to manage them without expensive tests like MRI or CT scan?
