I have a constant pain in my right side extending from my hip bone into the center and around the right-sided area. It feels inflammatory and is reduced by anti-inflammatory painkillers but worsened if taken too many. The pain varies in severity and is sometimes severe, other times low-level, but always present. I have no cramps, loose stools, blood, or mucus, but it feels like it's in my colon. I often experience an uncomfortable aching pain when passing urine, extending into my rectum, and I have no bladder infection. My ESR is raised and has been for a long time, and I also feel very tired a lot of the time due to CFS. I have had a recent painful flare-up but no diagnosis. I have had this for over 20 years but it's still very worrying when it becomes so painful. What could be causing this pain, and what tests should I consider?

I woke up one morning with two large swollen lymph nodes in the posterior cervical area. They have reduced in size but are still present after seven weeks. I have also experienced diarrhea, weight loss, anxiety, low fever, night sweats, and a lack of appetite. I am concerned about the possibility of lymphoma or other serious conditions. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have redness mostly from my knee down, also a little above it. It doesn't itch but it burns, and seems to be worse in the morning. I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, especially in my hip, and have hip spurs. Could this redness be connected to my osteoarthritis?

Why is fentanyl still in my system after three weeks, despite not using it, and could my weight, liver issues from hepatitis B and C, and body fat be causing it to metabolize slower?

I have discomfort when pressing on my toenail and noticed something brown come out when using a toenail nipper. Is this normal, and could it be a fungus?
