I am concerned about my bowel movements. My symptoms include narrow stools, inability to fully empty bowels, diarrhea, constipation, and flat, bent stools with grooves.

Can someone help me determine if I have a UTI, kidney stones, or both, given my symptoms of moderate blood, positive nitrates, lower back, flank, and groin pain, drops of blood at the end of urination, burning sensation, and a history of passing a kidney stone?

I have been experiencing severe itching, biting, and crawling sensations on my skin, along with black dots that appear when using a lint brush. I have been treating the symptoms with permethrin and ivermectin, which initially worked but require reapplication. I also have swollen legs and ankles, which I never had before. I am currently on suboxone to mitigate opioid withdrawal symptoms, but I am concerned that it might be causing or exacerbating my skin issues. What could be causing these symptoms, and how can I address them?

I experience tingling sensations on the right side of my body, including my lips, fingers, and foot, as well as mild pain in my right hip and buttocks. I also feel internal vibrations when sleeping and have occasional numbness in my right foot. What could be causing these symptoms, and are they related to anxiety or potentially something else?

I took an at-home HIV test two weeks ago and haven't received the results yet. I'm feeling anxious because I started having itchy eyes, a headache, and a sore throat today. Is this related to HIV, and should I be concerned?
