I had surgery for a cystocele/rectocele a year and a half ago, but I feel like something is still there, which they say is scar tissue. This has caused anxiety due to not healing correctly. I also have anismus and have done biofeedback. I experience stomach problems, severe worry, and wake up with stomach knots, feeling unwell, and a fast heartbeat. I'm scared to sleep and feel nauseous often after eating. My gastroenterologist has done tests and found nothing severe. My regular doctor thinks I'm 'crazy.' What can I do?

My fingers have turned blue, primarily in the left but also in the right, for a couple of hours now. This is the second time in as many weeks. Last time, a trip to the ER resulted in a diagnosis of hypoglycemia. I've been carefully watching my diet, am not overweight, exercise, and generally healthy. Six weeks ago, I started low-dose thyroid hormone replacement Levothyroxine .05mg for a gradually declining thyroid. I am a 46-year-old female. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am a 27-year-old female experiencing constant pain in my right upper abdomen. An ultrasound was clear, but a HIDA scan showed my gallbladder functioning at 35%. My surgeon doesn't recommend removal because it's not below 30%, and suggests an EGD or waiting a month. I don't want to be in pain anymore. Should I get a second opinion or spend more time and money looking for another problem?

I have a 92-year-old father who suffers from knee pain and weakness due to osteoarthritis. He has tried cortisone shots and orthovisc injections, but nothing has worked. Is there another treatment available?

Does Clonidine cause hair loss? I am advised by my heart doctor to take 0.1mg before I go to bed due to high blood pressure late at night.
