Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Why should you be bothered about Hodgkin's at such a tender age of 17. Get the ultrasonography and FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology done and get the confirmed diagnosis.  Hockey injury is getting OK and the poop which is soft and gassy may resolve on its own. Wait and watch. If you develop further symptoms, get an antibiotic treatment done.
