Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history of your suffering from diarrhea and extreme abdominal pain and stomach cramps for almost 8 weeks - high red blood cells, raised inflammatory levels, lost 15 pounds in 8 weeks, have lumps under the skin of shins and swollen hands and feet with painful elbows. All these factors indicate an inflammatory bowel disease with its complications. I would advise you the following: Consult a Gastroenterologist, get investigated for blood, thyroid and liver functions, urine and stool including culture and sensitivity . Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen. Colonoscopy. All these will give a proper diagnosis and gives proper plan of treatment to be followed strictly.
