I had a fall and broke my left arm 12 days ago. I had surgery 6 days ago and have been on oxycodone ever since the fall. I've only had one small bowel movement since the fall. I have developed a localized area of pain in the lower left side of my abdomen. Could this be an impaction? What should I do to get back to regular bowel movements? I am a 67-year-old woman.

I've been feeling a lot of pressure on my throat, like someone is pressing on it, especially when I try to exercise. I had thyroid cancer and my thyroid was removed, but I'm still feeling this pressure. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

My sister has been diagnosed with a nontuberculosis mycobacterial lung infection and has been prescribed Zithromax 250mg daily, Ethambutol 800mg daily, and Rifampin 450mg daily for a year. She is concerned about the side effects, especially from Ethambutol. Is this treatment typical and safe?

I had a drug test a couple of days ago after taking 3 Vicodins within the past 24 hours. I replaced my urine sample with clean urine, but there might have been 1cc of my urine left, which was diluted with 35cc of clean urine. Would the test still be positive for Vicodin?

Just started taking Zoloft on Saturday. It's making me sick and dizzy. Can I stop taking it without any problems?
