I have been diagnosed with a hemangioma spleen cyst (0.8cm) and am experiencing pain in the left rib area, especially when breathing. My GI doctor also mentioned liver problems. Should the hemangioma be removed, and what should I do about the pain and liver issues?

I have had a high fever for the last 2 days, with sweating, chills, shaking, dizziness, and blurred vision. I also have cramping in my lower left abdomen, a constant ache over my left abdomen, and mild nausea when taking Ibuprofen. I have been taking Ibuprofen for the fever and cramping, but I am unsure what else to do. Should I go to the doctor or wait it out?

I had a colon screening 4 years ago where one polyp was removed. I am scheduled for another screening in February 2013. Can colon cancer develop in that time frame, and is it recommended to have colon screenings every 2-3 years to catch polyps early?

I use plenty of fiber in my diet, yet I cannot get the stool or urine out unless I physically pull out my stool. This is a constant problem. I have had a colonoscopy, and the doc said he found nothing wrong. I have Behcet's syndrome, severe back pain at the base of my spine, osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and recently had a vein taken out by laser in my left leg, which is still swollen. I am severely bloated. I don't believe I have a vaginal prolapse, had it in the past and had it repaired. I do as much activity as my situation allows, which ends up being quite a bit because my daughter is in late stage multiple sclerosis. I have not seen a gynecologist in the past 3 years. I am overweight.
