i have had ultrasound and its completely normal and i have also had occult blood test but only one sample was tested and it was also normal
Brief Answer:
Possible Gastrointestinal Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir
I can certainly understand your concern
In that case if ultrasound abdomen and stool for occult blood is normal, nothing to worry much.
This could be possible Gastrointestinal Infection. A short course of antibiotics will be helpful.
I generally prescribe oral medications of Ofloxacin plus Ornidazole to my patients with such symptoms.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to improve your symptoms.

Brief Answer:
Compressive spine disease to be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

I have worked through your attached query in detail
These symptoms are not related to your Gastrointestinal tract or Gastrointestinal infection.
These symptoms possibly suggest a compressivd spine disease and thus it's advisable to rule out for the same.
For this, I advise you to get an MRI scan of spine to determine further course of action.
