How often is irrigation of my 24-hour catheter recommended, given my medical history of prostate cancer, permanent A Fib, and a pig valve in my heart, and the fact that the catheter was inserted due to a swollen prostate blocking urination?

I have been experiencing numbness in my toes and occasional tingling for about a year. My nurse practitioner says I have PAD, but my doctor says I don't. I have back pain and spinal stenosis, but I was undergoing therapy until the pandemic. What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I have been experiencing severe projectile vomiting and watery diarrhea, leading to water passing from my anus. I also feel very tired, have a loss of appetite, and a neck ache for the past two days. I have been on medication to control reflux. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have suffered from diarrhea since 2004, often causing embarrassment in public. I had a Barium Meal test in 2005 with no detection. I've taken Immodium and Loperan, and also have Asthma and high blood pressure. For the last two years, I've had hip problems and have started a food supplement. I stopped taking Loperan and had a couple of bowel accidents since. My husband and I travel to see family 2-3 times a year. Can you advise on which medications are necessary and any advice on future treatment/consultations?
