My daughter had her gallbladder removed in July. Since August, she experiences abdominal pain on and off, sometimes severe. A CT scan of her stomach showed nothing, and her blood work is excellent, but there is a slight trace of bilirubin in her urine. What could be causing her abdominal pain, and what tests should be conducted to diagnose the issue?

I have been having recurrent sinus infections since March of this year. I will finish an antibiotic and within 5 days, the infection is back. My symptoms are not all typical - mostly headache, weak, tons of congestion, tired, but not much drainage. I finally had a CT of my sinuses. The results are here. I am seeing the ENT next week. Right now, my infection is back after finishing Zithromax on Monday. I'm starting Augmentin today. Can you explain what the CT results mean? I have read that having trouble with the Sphenoid Sinus is potentially dangerous. Also, do you think I will need surgery? What would you think the course of action will be?

I have extreme fatigue, difficulty typing with my left hand, and walking using my left leg. I have no other symptoms and have not used any medication for it. I am overweight, a former smoker, and have high blood pressure and psoriasis. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or treatments should I consider?
