Hello Welcome the HCM,
Brief..you may need colonoscopy and rheumatoid factor level.
Detail...since large colon symptoms with swelling of joints (ankle or knee) could be because of rheumatoid disease .It can also be only irritable bowl syndrome or other large colon diseases..My opinion would be get colonoscopy done and discuss with gastroentrologist and rheumatologist for evaluation of your symptoms.
You may further ask regarding reports without any hesitation.
Regards,Dr.Maheshwari
