I am 62 years old, 145 pounds, and have developed swollen feet, ankles, and lower legs. I have a blood clot on my left calf being treated with Coumadin, and my left knee hurts badly and is not weight-bearing. X-rays are good, but I need to know what to do about the edema and knee pain. My primary doctor won't see me until Tuesday, and I'm concerned about the swelling and pain.

I did a line of coke about 5 months ago. I just recently had to get a hair follicle test going back a year. Will that one time, one line show up in the test and fail the test?

Is it bad for the intestines to hold in bowel movements (BM) for long periods, especially for someone with chronic constipation and a history of tummy hernias?

I took a drug test on 5/3 and received a voicemail from Quest today, which has me worried about failing the test. I was previously on Ritalin and thought I had stopped taking it two weeks before the test, but I might have taken a pill two days before the test. I have ADHD and was prescribed Ritalin in the past, but my script was out of date. What could be the reason for Quest contacting me, and how can I handle this situation if I did fail the test?

I've been experiencing excessive thick bubbly mucous and saliva, choking on it if I don't spit it out, a strange taste in my mouth, bad breath, a white coated tongue, burning sensation, a fuzzy feeling extending down my throat, substances sticking to my tongue, daily vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss (52 pounds), sore taste buds, and swollen areas at the back of my tongue. I've lost my appetite and am not feeling sick, but I did take antibiotics a month ago for a possible sinus infection with no improvement. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am on Levothyroxine. I have been getting mixed information regarding eating or drinking dairy products. I've heard you only have to wait an hour after taking the medication to take dairy products but four hours to take calcium supplements. I have also heard that you have to wait four hours to ingest dairy products or calcium supplements. What is true?
