I am a 64-year-old male who has been experiencing anxiety attacks for which my family doctor prescribed medication two years ago. I no longer suffer from the attacks, but I have recently developed a problem with not being able to leave my house, which started about two and a half months ago. I have not seen my doctor about this issue because I do not believe she can help. What could be causing this problem, and what treatment options are available?

I have pain in the back side above the rectum described as 'ingrowing curly hair'. When did it develop, how large is the area, is it swollen, are there any discharges from it, and have you had any other treatments?

I was given a Z pack for bronchitis and possible sinus infection, but I'm experiencing severe stomach pain, cramping, and diarrhea after each dose, with nausea the next morning. My doctor prescribed amoxicillin instead. My main concern is avoiding C. difficile. Will switching antibiotics mid-course increase the risk of C. difficile? Should I complete the full ten-day course of amoxicillin even though I've already taken two days of Z pack?

Is it possible to increase human height by applying continuous pressure on bones (like a stretching machine) over a long period, forcing them to adapt and grow longer, especially before growth plates close?
