I am going through a bout of diverticulitis and on antibiotics, but I haven't had a bowel movement in almost three days. Should I take a light laxative or a stool softener to help matters along? I am very uncomfortable and worried, especially since my doctor is away until the end of June.

Hello doctor, I have some gas trouble issue. It started yesterday after carrying heavy weight. Now, if I try to cough, I get pain near the liver, and if I sleep flat, I get pain in my right shoulder. I didn’t sleep properly last night and experienced some pain in my shoulder and neck area during the morning. What could be the reason and what would be the treatment?

I noticed a couple of times when I am starting to fall asleep, I stop breathing and my lower legs twitch a little. It seems to happen on days when I am anxious, but I am worried that something more serious is going on like MS. Also, I am getting numb, tingly patches on both sides of my body that come and go. Can these signs indicate MS, and what other possibilities could be causing these symptoms?
