I'm kind of worried because, for the last couple of days, every time I go to the bathroom, there's been a lot of mucus in my stool. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about?

This could be a sign of inflammation in your intestines. I recommend taking a probiotic like "Align" once a day to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. Additionally, you can try taking an anti-inflammatory medication like Mesalamine to reduce inflammation. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a diet high in fiber to help with bowel movements. If the symptoms persist, consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I've just had some liver function tests, and my bilirubin levels came back at 2.9. Is this something to be worried about? Im not seeing any yellowing in my eyes or skin, and my urine doesnt seem too dark either. Who should I talk to for this? Any advice?

Having pain in my abdomen especially near the belly button since this morning. Had hernia surgery 5 years back and gallbladder surgery 9 years ago could this be related to my past surgeries or something new?

I've been feeling something really weird on the left side, just below my ribs for the past three months. It's like a mix of pain, ticklish sensations, and bubbling. At one point, I thought maybe I'd torn a muscle, so I rushed to emergency. They did an ECG, checked my blood pressure, and even took an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm on some meds that the doctor gave me from the GD Diabetes Centre like Voveran SR, Pan D, and Trinerve 75. But still, when I touch the area, it hurts a bit, and when I don't, it feels ticklish and painful at the same time. Any idea what's going on or if I should be concerned?

Orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.
