Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have joint pain and stiffness in knees, ankles, fingers and shoulders . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms are due to diverticulitis . Diverticulitis occurs when diverticula tear, resulting in inflammation or infection or both . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order blood and urine tests, to check for signs of infection , stool test and CT scan . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( orally or intravenous ) along with analgesic and anti inflammatory . Doctor mat also recommend surgery primary bowel resection or bowel resection with colostomy . For now drink plenty of water , eat regularly small meals and eat more fibrous diet .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
