Having Occasional Loose Stools With Blood In It. Having Pain In Back And Shoulder Blades. Are They Related?

You seem to be having a lot of symptoms, but the most alarming to me as a doctor would be the fact that you are having blood in the stool with occasional loose stools. The fact that you have family history of Crohn's disease gives you a higher likelihood of having the disease. You should seek medical attention by a gastroenterologist who will most likely do a colonoscopy and take biopsies of your colon. If you indeed have Crohn's disease or "inflammatory bowel disease" (IBD) it could be linked to your back pain and joint pain, since IBD is linked to a joint disorder called Ankylosing spondilitis. Crohn's can also cause abdominal pain if you are having inflammation of your bowels, intermittent obstruction, etc. Tremors are probably unrelated to the digestive problem, but could be related to Celexa which is known to cause tremors. Check with your psychiatrist to see if an alternate medication would be more appropriate for you. I don't think SVT is related, and the medication Tiazac should not be causing these issues.
Hope that helped.


Thankfully,

Good luck.
