What Causes Blood In Stool And Left Abdominal Pain?
I have been having bloody stools and left side pain for months off and on, now it seems like I may have a hemroid or something else going on. My entire intestines feel inflamed and on fire. Last Thursday I experienced chest pain into my left shoulder, neck, arm, and shoulder blade lasting about 1.5hours. The following day I noticed my feet are swelled and have not reduced since then. Even after resting and elevating my feet are very tight with pressure and needle sticking pain. Is all this related?

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physcian i completely understand your health concerns.
what is ur age and sex? is it fresh blood? have u experienced something coming out of ur anus? i is it associaed with intense anal pain? do u have constipation? for how long u are suffering from it? any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension?
As far as bleeding per rectum is concerned, there are a lot of differentials. you need to answer above questions for diagnosis.. likely differentials include HEMORRHOIDS, ANAL FISSURE, DIVERTICULOSIS, DYSENTRY, any malignancy of colon, any bleeding disorder.
You need to be examined by a surgeon so that exact diagnosis can be made in time.
meanwhile stay calm and use laxatives and soft diet.
as far as other symptoms are concerned , in inflammatory bowel disease there is bleeding per rectum along with systemic symptoms like joint pains etc.. but again it is puerly a literal correlation , i cant be sure until and unless patient is fully examined and investigated.
get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
