What Causes Joint Pains, Pain In Sternum And Loss Of Appetite?

I have severe joint pain. Pain on my sternum and the ribs on my left side can hurt so bad I feel like they are broken. Complete lack of appetite have lost close to forty pounds in three months and absolutely no energy. G.I specialist has ruled out everything on his end.

Dear I can understand your concern .
On the basis of the information that you have given to me there is strong possibility of some malignancieis such as multiple myeloma or leukemia or any bony tumour etc.
Apart from this any chronic illness can do all this.. we need complete history and examination and if needed certain lab tests to reach the exact cause.
In my opinion you discus these issues first with your physician , as he can see and discuss about whole body not only stomach and after that if he refer to you any super specialist then and only then go to that.
Hope this will help you .
Thanks for contacting HCM .
If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me .
