I have occasional pains about one inch above my belly button and 3-4 inches to the left, and I occasionally feel nauseated. I've had severe constipation for about 3 weeks, with hard stools that often clog the commode. Additionally, I experience strong urges to urinate and occasional urinary incontinence, which seem to be related to my constipation. Could these issues be related to my constipation, and what can I do to alleviate them?

I just discovered a small, hard, painful lump at the base of my middle finger on the palm side. It is not visible to the eye and was found by massaging my palm. I don’t have any difficulty moving the finger, but it is painful to hold the steering wheel or my dogs’ leashes. Could this be a neuroma or a ganglion cyst, and what should I do about it?

I have a green mucus-like vaginal discharge. I am 28 years old, had unprotected sex in September this year and October last year with the same person, and have no burning or itching sensation. What could be the cause of this discharge?

I have a painful swelling just in front of my ankle bone that has been bothering me for a week. I've tried applying Voltaren or Brufen ointments, but the pain persists when walking and even sleeping. There is no redness, and I haven't experienced any trauma. Can you help identify the cause and suggest further steps?

I got a second cold and ended up with a sinus infection. I started the cold about 12 days ago and have been on Augmentin for about 7 days. The thick dark yellow bloody discharge stopped quickly, but I still have a lot of clear mucus flooding down my throat most of the time. Does this mean I will start a new infection when I stop the Augmentin in 3 days? Also, why is the mucus continuing 12 days into a cold and after 7 days of an antibiotic? I do not have allergic symptoms. Additionally, I am worried about my cough. I coughed a lot yesterday, especially at a cold football game, and felt a tickle in my nasopharynx. Does this sound like it was caused by something other than the lungs? I also had a bit of rumbling in my chest, but it went away quickly. Is this a good sign?
