I noticed my total bilirubin is 1.2 mg/dl, which is slightly higher than my past readings around 1.0 since 2014. Should I be worried about this increase, and could it indicate pancreatic cancer?

I have bumps on my tongue and a swollen lymph node on my neck on one side, which has been happening for about a month. I’m afraid it’s a viral infection. What could it be and what should I do?

I sustained an injury to my elbow/shoulder while playing ice hockey. I'm 30 years old and continued playing despite feeling a sharp pain. I visited the ER the next day when I couldn't straighten my elbow fully without pain and my shoulder felt 'out of place'. X-rays were negative. It's been 4 weeks, and I've been doing at-home rehab but haven't had physical therapy or further tests. My shoulder feels close to normal with some crunching and slight clicking, and my elbow has improved but still hurts at certain angles. How will I know when it's safe to return to sport and weightlifting, and should I wear a brace?
