Question: 5 hospitalizations with lower leg(s) unexplained cellulitis, along with muscle weakness , joint pain, headaches, loss of appetite, bloating, irritability, SOB, random heart thumping, raynauds, vasculitis, constant diarrhea - sometimes all blood, severe heartburn and daily feeling chills. Plus, I've recently gained over 20 pounds within 3 months. SORRY FOR ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ISSUES! My doctors and the ER keep referring me to rheumatologists, cardiologists, dermatologists, gastroenterology doctors. No real answers though.

Brief Answer:
Your reports look normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I saw the Reports in detail.They look normal.
Cellulitis of lower limbs can occur due to trivial trauma to the leg leading to Bacterial entry.Severity depends on the Bacteria.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Linezolid to my patients with Cellulitis.
You have written many complaints which are non specific.Majority of the symptoms are seen Cellulitis.If the infection is spreading from the legs to the other parts of the body by blood stream,these can be seen.
Even occult blood test is also done which came negative.
Inflammatory bowel disease is also excluded.If bleeding per Rectum is persisting,I prefer COLONOSCOPY which visualises entire Large intestine.
Please continue with the medication prescribed by your doctor.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
Regards
