I've noticed a lump just below my rib on the right side, and its really uncomfortable, especially when I try to lie on that side. It kind of feels like somethings pushing against my rib. What could this possibly be? Should I be concerned?

It sounds like you may have a lump or swelling near your rib, which could be due to various causes such as a muscle strain, benign growth, or inflammation. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly some imaging tests to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit worried about my recent lab results. The report from the GI LAB in my office says my total bilirubin is 2.9. Could you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

Penile Vibration and Potential Causes _Possible Causes_ 1. _Nerve compression or damage_: Your spinal condition, specifically the compression of nerves from L1 to L5, could be contributing to the vibration sensation. 2. _Neurological symptoms_: The vibration might be a neurological symptom related to your spinal condition, rather than an infection. 3. _Other possibilities_: Less likely causes could include: - Peripheral neuropathy - Nerve entrapment - Vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Consult your spine specialist or neurologist_: Discuss the new symptom with your doctor to determine if it's related to your spinal condition. 2. _Neurological examination_: Your doctor may perform a neurological examination to assess nerve function and determine the cause of the vibration. 3. _Imaging tests or nerve conduction studies_: Additional tests, such as MRI or nerve conduction studies, might be ordered to rule out other potential causes.

My endoscopy impression LAX LES. Narrowing noted at D1 D2 junction. Scope could not be passed beyond. BC taken. Doctor suggested bypass surgery.

The endoscopic finding of a narrowed area at the D1-D2 junction (duodenal junction) and the inability to pass the scope beyond this point suggest a potential blockage in the duodenum. The doctor's recommendation of bypass surgery likely refers to a surgical procedure to create a new pathway for food and fluids to bypass the obstruction, potentially a duodenojejunal bypass. This could be necessary to relieve symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain caused by the blockage
