Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
The typical symptoms of pain in neck extending to the occipital region with frequent posterior headaches with extension into the arms and legs accompanied with swelling indicates towards possibility of CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS ( soft lump at the neck region near cervico thoracic junction.As there are no joint pains be it fleeting of continuous yet , MS as a diagnosis is unlikely . More over if the M-protein test is negative then you don't have it.
It is suggested that you should get a cervical and limbo-sacral X-ray done to rule out any spondylitis which is the most common reason for such manifestations and can easily be managed conservatively with physiotherapy and good postural practices.
Pelvic pain as you said you have been suffering from a year now, its likely to be PID, which needs to be confirmed by clinical exam and ultrasound pelvis and would have to be treated with antibiotics, so a gyn exam would be must for the same. But it is unrelated to your neck pain and swelling in arms and feet .
another important consideration is Obesity which can act as a potential risk factor for spondylosis, so if you are overweight and BMI is more than 29 then you should be reducing weight as well.

Hello.
Colon cancer per se would not just manifestas bleeding alone but would bring lot of cachexia, indigestion,symptoms of irritable bowel and even dyspepsia along with it. As there is substantial blood loss per rectum and you are already a known case of hemorrhoids and as the blood too was fresh blood the likely cause of per rectal bleed was hemorrhoids and unlikely to be colonic. But nevertheless a proctoscopic and then if required followed by a colonoscopic evaluation and if any lesion determined then biopsy shall help establish a colon Ca diagnosis.
For symptomatic hemorrhoids hemorrhoidectomy is the only curable modality and should be opted for.You need to get a evaluation both lab and local examination done by a physician before anydiagnosis can be substantiated.

Hello,
thanks for the follow up,
If you have irritable bowel as well then it is important that you should be keeping a check on your eating habits very strictly. You must strictly avoid any fast foods like pizzas and burgers especially which has mayonnaise and add roughage and salads to your diet. Soda drinks have to be completely avoided and plain water should be preferred.
But presently you should get your haemorrhoids treated on a priority here as bleeding can be severe in cases of internal haemorrhoids sometimes. IBS management is generally conservative and can be continued along with.
