I had stomach flu a week ago and have not had a bowel movement since Friday night. I've been eating regularly and taking fiber, but still no bowel movement. Additionally, I've been experiencing stomach cramps, soft stools, and frequent gurgling sounds in my stomach, especially upon awakening. I had a colonoscopy in late 2020, which was normal, and I've had issues with gas and bloating since my gallbladder surgery in 2016. Could the recent stomach virus have triggered IBS, and what OTC medications can I take before consulting my GI doctor?

I have a sore spot on the inside of my right thigh, near the knee, which is sore to pressure and noticeable when walking. I recently played tennis and noticed it in the shower. There is no bump or skin redness, and the surface of the skin appears normal. I am unsure of the cause and whether it is normal for the soreness to be confined to one spot on the gracilis muscle. Can you advise on the type of injury/issue, muscle or tendon involved, and the reason for this type of injury/issue?

I have had RUQ pains for a year, likely due to biliary dyskinesia of the gallbladder, and more frequent LUQ pain recently that feels gnawing, sharp, and aching. The pain is accompanied by bad acid reflux, gurgling sounds, and severe constipation. I had an endoscopy two years ago showing mild gastritis and a recent abdominal CT scan with no issues. Do you think this needs to be checked ASAP, and could it be related to an ulcer or pancreas issues?

My husband had his lower right lobe of his lung and part of the 7th rib removed due to cancer on July 28 of this year. He is very swollen, cannot lay in bed, eat, or breathe easily. What could be causing the swelling?
