My left hand became painful and swollen this afternoon. It’s still painful and hard to move. How long have you had the swelling? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the swelling? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

The swelling in your hand is likely due to lymphatic drainage issues or carpal/wrist joint swelling ...

I have had a hemorrhoid for some time, and for the past 3 days, I have noticed blood in my stool. I have taken medication for it but no specific treatment. I am a male, and the burning sensation is only when using the toilet. What should I do?

I believe my husband has sleep apnea. He is always sleepy, can fall asleep in under a minute anywhere anytime, sleeps through the night but snores very loudly, and his mouth is always open when he's asleep. He's also constantly tired. Is this sleep apnea, and what should we do?

I have been smoking marijuana off and on for roughly ten years. Recently, I noticed a mucous buildup in my throat and occasional swelling in my neck, especially after consuming sugary or acidic foods. The swelling seems to be worse on the right side of my neck and sometimes causes stiffness or pain when I twist my head. I stopped smoking marijuana a few months ago, but the symptoms persist. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned about cancer or other serious conditions?
