symptoms-started three weeks ago, pain in mid to lower abdomen, some cramping in middle of night, no sign of UTI, left flank pain stabbing at times, very bloated, weight gain 8 pounds in last month, bowel movements-some diarrhea and some regular. Pain is not related to bowel movements as much as I can tell. I have joint pain and hands are often swollen through the night. I get up one to two times or more in the night to go the bathroom.
