I have had chronic constipation for years, and nothing helps, including fiber, water, and laxatives. The only relief I get is when I take Vyvanse, which causes liquid stools and hemorrhoids. I also experience dull pain on my left and right lower sides, bloating, and gas that is sometimes hard to pass. Additionally, my stools are often thin. What could be causing these symptoms, and what can I do to manage them?

Is an A/G level of 2.4 anything to worry about? I have no symptoms and am taking phentermine for weight loss. I've been taking it for about a month and I'm 49 years old. There is no family history of autoimmune diseases.

I have been experiencing constant, sharp, and stabbing back pain for a year, along with numbness, muscle weakness, and increased fatigue. I have tried various exercises but they do not help. What can be done to alleviate this pain?

I was prescribed Oxycodone 5mg a week ago after having an appendectomy. I took my last dose yesterday morning, so it has been 24 hours. When may it be safe for me to drink alcohol again without risking an accidental overdose?

I have a dilated bile duct measuring 7.7mm, diagnosed via ultrasound. The issue has been concerning me for a little over a month. I am currently taking pantoprazole 40mg and experiencing an uncomfortable pain in the area. My blood work and stool tests were normal except for low potassium levels. The ultrasound showed no stones or sludge in the gallbladder. Should I seek an ERCP elsewhere or wait for a scheduled ultrasound on June 13th, and should I continue my usual training regimen of marathons and Ironman competitions?
