I use plenty of fiber in my diet, yet I cannot get the stool or urine out unless I physically pull out my stool. This is a constant problem. I have had a colonoscopy, and the doc said he found nothing wrong. I have Behcet's syndrome, severe back pain at the base of my spine, osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and recently had a vein taken out by laser in my left leg, which is still swollen. I am severely bloated. I don't believe I have a vaginal prolapse, had it in the past and had it repaired. I do as much activity as my situation allows, which ends up being quite a bit because my daughter is in late stage multiple sclerosis. I have not seen a gynecologist in the past 3 years. I am overweight.

For the past few months, I have had a tickling feeling in my left ear, and recently, I experienced pain in my right eyelid followed by a sensation of something moving, which then went away. This morning, my right eyelid is puffy. Is there something moving around and living in there, and what should I do since I'm unemployed and don't have insurance?

I just received an epidural steroid injection for sciatica, and the MRI showed an abnormality near the fourth vertebrae that requires a biopsy. Does this abnormality necessarily mean a tumor, cyst, or something else? What are the different possibilities, and how serious can this be?

My iron, transferrin, saturation are in the normal range, but my ferritin is high at 362 ug/L. I also have cholesterol bumps on my neck and stomach. Do I need further check-ups, and are these issues related?

I have pouchitis and Cipro and Tinidazole haven't helped. How can I reduce my bowel movements (BM) from 10-12 to a manageable 6-8?
