Hello. My blood work is normal except for the AST/ALT Ratio, which came back at 1.7 (normally 1 - 1.3). The individual blood results for liver indicators are within the normal range. Does this mean I should be concerned?

I have pain in the calf at the back of my lower leg for the past two days, which is affecting my ability to walk. The pain occurs when I stand for extended periods but is also present when resting. The pain feels like the muscle is tightened. I am 20 years old, not taking any medications, and have no significant medical history. What could be causing this pain, and what can I do for relief?

I’m struggling with my sexuality. I’ve always been predominantly straight, but 3 years ago, I started feeling attracted to the same sex. I’ve never been with anyone of the same sex and do not wish to have a physical or emotional relationship with them, but I occasionally think about the same sex when I’m turned on, which then goes away. I feel disgusted with myself and am at risk of losing my marriage. How long has this been a concern? Have you spoken to a mental health professional about this? How have you been sleeping? Any changes in appetite? How would you like to connect with the Psychologist - phone call or online chat?
