My 33-year-old daughter is feeling unwell and has lost 5-6 units of blood. Her iron count is at six (should be 12-16) and her blood red cells are at 25 (should be around 40). She was recommended over-the-counter iron supplements and stool samples. Is this non-urgent assessment correct, and is it safe for her to travel to Singapore next week?

I want information on Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injection for my arthritic knee. I have had arthritis for a few years and am 70 years old. I have received cortisone injections and Uflexa on my left knee, which provided relief, and recently got a cortisone shot in my right knee with amazing relief. I am also dealing with Hashimoto's thyroid and possibly Graves' disease, but otherwise, I am healthy and active. I am taking synthroid and tylenol. What are the success rates and long-term benefits of PRP injections for arthritis?

I’ve had RUQ (right upper quadrant) pain for almost 2 years, with constant but fluctuating intensity, located under my right rib cage. Additionally, I’ve experienced back pain in the same area for the past 2 months, which worsens when pressed. I’ve undergone an ultrasound, HIDA scan, and CT scan, all of which showed no abnormalities. My blood work has also been normal. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do next?

I finished my Percocet prescription of 6 tablets 6 days ago. Yesterday, I tested myself with a 12-panel urine test I bought at CVS and tested negative. Today, I took a urine test at a lab. Will I pass?
