I am experiencing morning stomach upset and lower back pain, especially when walking. I have nausea in the mornings and after eating, but it improves in the evenings.

I had a routine blood work done and received the results. I have concerns about some low and high results. Can the doctor review and advise on the possible causes of these abnormalities?

I am a diabetic living in Las Vegas, Nevada, and my home is in Nashville, Tennessee. I have no primary care doctor yet, and my company insurance has just started. I need to get my prescription for Glyburide and Metformin refilled. As a truck driver, I am supposed to head back to Tennessee once I get a load. Can a doctor help me until I get back home?

I have severe pain in my lower back that started yesterday and is constant. The pain is sharp and doesn't radiate down to my legs. I have tried taking 400 mg of ibuprofen every 4-5 hours, but it doesn't seem to help. What could be causing this pain, and what treatments can I try?

I have been experiencing diarrhea for the last 3 weeks on and off. I am diabetic and take 1000 mg of Metformin daily. My blood sugar levels have been running between 117 to 130 for the last 3 weeks. I have been using Metamucil and Amodium, which have not caused any side effects. I am a 24/7 caregiver to my husband for the last 3 years. What could be causing my diarrhea and what can I do about it?
