What Causes Abdomen Pressure, Frequent Bowel Movements, Hip And Leg Swelling?
Hello, Have been experiencing pressure in lower left abdomen, accompanied by more frequent bowel movements, not diarrhea but small flat broken stool, for a couple of weeks. No fever or chills. Today my left hip and leg seems a tad swollen and with a bit of pins and needles feeling.

HI.
All the symptoms you have noted lead me to think of ruling out gastrointestinal cancer.
I would advise such a patient to first all go for investigations like CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis area, colonoscopy and biopsy.
Get an antibiotic coverage along with supportive and symptomatic care.
