I need a prescription for my gout on my left foot. The inflammation started 36 hours ago, causing pain and swelling on the side of the ankle joints. I am 62 years old and my usual doctor prescribes Indomethacin. I also have high blood pressure and take maintenance medication for it.

A 65-year-old, who recently had a heart attack and a stent placed, is experiencing nausea, sweats, fatigue, and diarrhea for the last three days. The symptoms come and go. How's the appetite? Any bloating? What medications are they currently using, and is there anything else in their medical history that the doctor should know?

I'm a 26-year-old male experiencing a stabbing pain on my left abdomen near my rib cage for about two weeks. The pain comes and goes and is sometimes accompanied by feelings of gas or bubbles in that location. I've had elevated stool levels, bloating, and frequent coughing for the past three weeks. My gastroenterologist performed a colonoscopy and found no polyps, but took biopsies of my rectum. I also have blood in my urine and am scheduled for an ultrasound on my scrotum, stomach, and kidneys. What could be causing this pain and should I seek further medical care?
