I’ve been constipated for 2 months after taking two 7-day courses of antibiotics. My stool is broken up, dry, sticky, and contains large amounts of white bits. I have normal symptoms of constipation like lower back pain, abdominal pain, gas, and bloating. How long should I wait before seeing my doctor, and is there anything I can do at home to help?

I have been experiencing red mucus in my stool and occasional bleeding from hemorrhoids for the past 8 weeks. I have consulted multiple doctors, including emergency room doctors and my general practitioner, who have all diagnosed me with hemorrhoids. However, I have severe anxiety and am concerned about the possibility of a more serious condition. Should I trust the diagnosis of hemorrhoids, and what additional steps can I take to manage my symptoms and anxiety?

I have shoulder pain that started today after finishing work. The pain is dull and occurred while assisting an elderly person who leaned on me. What could be the cause of this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?

Last night my left calf had a terrible charlie horse. I stretched it out and heated it. Veins seem to have popped out. It looks slightly bruised. I walked 4 miles on it with no problem. It is tender when I stretch it. I am already taking plavix 75 mg for cardiac stents. Could it be a blood clot?

I have a very painful shoulder that prevents me from having a good night's sleep. I've had an X-ray which showed wear and tear. I'm 88 years old, take Verapamil, and have a hiatus hernia managed with lanzaprozol. I'm considering trying CBD but want to start with the smallest dose to test my reaction. What should I do for my shoulder pain and which CBD product should I start with?
